'Lil Wayne is a 'Lil wrong when he says he was denied entry into tonight's playoff game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs -- fact is, he just didn't have a ticket.

The rapper just tweeted, "Going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow."

But a rep for the OKC Thunder tells TMZ ... "We did not deny him," adding, "His representatives contacted us about court side tickets and we told them we are completely sold out."

The rep says the team has no beef with the 'Lil one.

go buy a ticket like the rest of us. :nono:

What a douche bag.

Looks like we got homer refs for game 3 tonight. The fix is on our side it seems for once.

Yeah, I just read this too. Apparently afterwards he said "Go Spurs!"

What a jackass. You're a shitty rapper, that doesn't entitle you to anything except for the opportunity to make bad music (my opinion, of course). Why do you expect to be given shit? Pay the price of a ticket like all of us and move on.

David "Satan" Stern wants a game 7 to make his wallet even fatter.

What a nice friend; charges you $4.50 to get your money out. He's got a bankers instinct.

No, he's awful.

There's a perfect "Curb Your Enthusiasm" moment that OKC's front office could have done: give Lil' Wayne nosebleed seats, like the NBC exec did to Larry, where Larry thought he was going to have court side seats.

I would be shocked if they weren't. No way Stern wants the Celtics to go down 0-3

No worse than going to a bank not in your network. I'd guess the players have accounts that reimburse fee's

sometimes things are unbalanced without a consipirarcy....however in this case the techs were pretty crappy.

the foul on rondo when he and james were both going for a loose ball was a joke. that's a no call or a foul on james.

I hear you, but considering the past (most notably the 2002 WCF) it's hard to think that this is just simply unbalanced.

I'm still pissed about Wade shovign Collison and getting nothing but a foul for it. Are you kidding me? Let's drop the whole "NBA's darling" tag for just one minute and make a call like it should be done. That clearly fits the description of a flagrant 1. Yet Thabo got a flagrant last night for hitting Manu in the chin in what appeared to be inadvertent contact.

I sent an email to the league (not expecting anything to come of it) via their website that was pretty blunt and I got the most cookie-cutter, piece of shit response back. :x

Either the majority of these refs are in on something, or too many of them need evaluations.

i caught that chin music foul too....that was not a flagrent.

nba refs are a joke.

So true.

At times they make the refs in the rec league I play in look like polished professionals.

Definitely not in my eyes. Thabo just brought his arm up in bad timing and connected with Manu, it's just what can happen when playing basketball. But shoving a player? What the fuck kind of play is that?

What an ugly game for the Spurs. Oh well - a loss is not too suprising after their run but still disappointing.

As I said before OKC is the one team that makes me a more than a little nervous.

Hope they adjust for tomorrows game, otherwise it will be a looong series.

Go Spurs!

Typically, SA comes back to redeem themselves from a poor loss like that. But like you have implied, OKC isn't the type of team to just get outplayed, especially on their own floor.

I swear they're a completely different team with that home court advantage. Well, not completely, but they're much scarier at home.

Nice start to the game so far :thumbup:
