3 wins, 9 losses

did durant get rided for a foul?.. yes.. maybe a make up (non)call.. if i were a ref i would not have called it.. he still got unlocked and a very clean look when the shot got off.. shoulda hit it.. kobe would have.. star players get fouled all the time.. rise above it.

I'm not heat fan at all but in all honesty it wasn't that big of a foul, what I mean is I don't think it affected his shot all that much, was a foul though. I think westbrook got fouled on the put back as well

Yeah. Agreed. However I also think Durant should've fouled out 4 minutes earlier when he bulldozed a perfectly setup Battier and Battier got called for the blocking foul.

Ref's can never win with you guys. It's always a call they made or shouldn't have made. Where does it ever end. I would hate to play with some of you guys. I can hear all the whining a complaining now because either you did or didn't get a call.

 

[denger4000]

I'm not even complaining, I just said it was a foul, but the Thunder put themselves in the place to begin with so whatever.

If you want of nit pick the incorrect goal tending call gave the heat 2 points they shouldnt have had. So the thunder should have been holding for a last second shot to win the game.

I don't know about that anymore.

But I don't blame the ref's for not blowing the whistle on that play. It wasn't egregious enough of a foul for them to blow the whistle. Ref's don't want to be the one's that decide the game, by putting some one on the line in the closing seconds.

 

[jstep13]

I guess it doesnt matter. What does matter is the Heat cant hold on to big leads, LeBron still sucks in the 4th quarter and the Heat are gonna lose this series. That much I do know...so if the refs give the Heat a pity call here and there, I can live with it. Its obvious they need it more than than OKC does...

Losing a game like that sucks. Coached a game that the refs blew a whistle when my player and another teams player dove for a ball. No real foul was there but because he blew the whistle and they hit 1 FT we lost. The ref came over to me and all but apologized for it as the player was shooting.

not this season eh. (or last)

Nostradamus... I'm curious... Something tells me you will conspicuously absent from this thread if your prediction doesn't hold true.

The Heat have a legit chance of winning. The real Finals should of been the spurs vs heat which would of had the Spurs winning, but David Stern wouldn't to see Durant vs lebron so the refs handed the Thunder game 6 (get over it, pathetic, sours grapes lolz) so I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Lebron finally winning it all.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

....(omg).....^

 

[jstep13]

Damn tough game for OKC tonight, it's hard to beat Miami's refs, lord knows Lebron did everything he could to choke the game away in the last minute of the game. They were clearly shaken after the worst non-call in NBA history in game 2, and were clearly not their normal selves tonight. Game was still winable though. Thunder will shake it off and win the next 2, no biggie...

 

[Mamba]

All Thunder needs is to win one game in Miami and win back to back games at home.

Durant was finally cool down in the 4th, Harden was having a bad game.

 

[jstep13]

Yeah it was an odd game for OKC, I would expect this kind of game from Miami but not OKC. Bad passes, that had nothing to with the Heat's D and how many missed FT did OKC have?

 

[Wake]

Durant in 4th qtr.... 2 points.
