You could argue that Durant had a charge with just over a minute left, and instead they called blocking foul. Refs just stole nothing.


Yeah. Battier was pretty much set there, was definitely either a block or just a no-call.

Battier was moving on the blocking foul. By the time his feet had set, Durant was already in the air. That call was fine. If anything, it was 50/50 AT BEST. That last no-call? HOLY FUCK. You can't ARGUE there was no foul.

Edit to above^: actually, Battier had his feet moving. You can notice it. Like, lifted up a little bit and moving. That's not set. That's moving.

Just this. He had KD tied up with the referee right there...


About that blocked shot on Chris, i think it was said that their is a rule with ball falling down. Not sure tho that your talking about that play.

No, he's talking about the inbounds play when OKC were down 2, Lebron was guarding KD, Durant got the ball, Lebron went over and pretty much put his arm on KD and shoved. Yeah that play.


Hey, it's like that sometimes, i won't argue that was a no foul call. It ended good for me. I got to check the replay on that play for sure.

Maybe don't go down by 17 points. You know, maybe that would help it not go down to a no call.
Arguing calls is so pointless, if you want to argue that call. What's to stop everyone from going back and looking at every call. I'm sure there's some blown calls everywhere else too.

Of course, you're a Heat fan. You don't want to see the foul called ¯\_(シ)_/¯
Can't blame you, probably would have been tie game

Lol it wouldn't have mattered anyway. The heat had a foul to give so they would've just had to inbound again except with even less time on the clock.

no don't talk about basketball please


Sorry Mr. authority. I didn't know you had the power to take away all rights to speech regarding basketball. Let me bask in your infinite wisdom please.

Edit: Also, look back like, oh, idk, 4 pages where there was discussion on the call. But hell, since you don't know, let me quote:

He slid that foot across. Good call refs.

Good call there on blocking foul.

I mean its the right decision but...


Right. I'm the one who shouldn't be talking about basketball when you're the one who doesn't actually know the calls. Looking great there champ.

Not to upset about the no call but OKC missing 7 ft is surprising, maybe or 2 or 3 is fine but not 7 when u look at who was shooting them

OKC fans talking about refs is really, really cute. KD 100% should've fouled out on that late blocking call on Battier, they put up 12 more 3PTAs and still came out with more FTs, but the refs have an agenda against you? Fantastic.

I'll give you that it should have been a foul on james on the last shot. It's gotta be tough in that situation to be king-maker though. But to say that the refs cost OKC the game is an exaggeration. If OKC played in the first like they did in the second, they wouldn't have had to rely on last minute efforts.

Bron was sneaky enough to get away with that contact at the end. I must admit of first watching I though KD just missed, but LBJ did get him with a little swipe/push.

Still, I won't blame the refs for that. I mean it was probably a foul, but pretty minimal contact.

OKC have only themselves to blame for such a poor start

I don't think anyone is arguing he didn't foul KD, but there are plenty of calls that could have gone either way and to say 1 call stole the game is ridiculous.

? You simply don't call a foul on minimal contact with less than 15 seconds on the clock. That's just retarded. OKC fans can whine about this all they want, but any close game in the playoffs that I remember has always been played this way for years and years. Hell, we'd have different champions every year if this was the case. Remember reggie shoving off jordan?

That's just how it works; sports fans usually prefer to put it on the refs rather than on their team playing poorly if the opportunity presents itself I guess? Especially in basketball when you personally feel as if you have have little reason to like or respect the other team, you'd be more inclined not to say GG on the opposing team's part. I could be wrong though.
