Like really, you get 1 point at the line instead of Durant fouling out with 4 minutes left, and you're complaining about the refs? r o f l

Yeah, that was a heat of the moment post, no pun intended. They just came so close, and god, a come back would've been orgasmic.
Edit: Whoops, I fail at reading. xD

Meh, it's the heat, people turn off their brains when talking about the heat.

As a neutral player in all of this. All you whining Thunder fans need to just look at the FT percentage. If I was Scott Brooks, my entire team would be shooting free throws for hours at practice to make sure that does not happen again. on another note, I just cannot fathom how a professional basketball player cannot shoot at least 80% of his free throws.

OKC def lost this game. Yes Miami played well but OKC played sooooooooooo bad for about 65% of the game.
Didn't Magic Johnson say at half that what Westbrook did in the first half was the worst performance by a PG in the finals he has ever seen?
Ya...

Where in that did I say I don't? I had my own heat of the moment (with "no pun intended" in my post to boot) in one of the Heat v Celtics games, I forget which

I want to bitch and moan but i can't OKC needs to play in the first quarter. OKC has been won 6 of 8 quarters going to be hard to win a ring if you are not playing the whole game.

The refs didn't cost OKC that game. If you really think they did you're being a little too emotional.

What are you talking about? That was 100% a charge, KD got the superstar late call from the wrong official on that. Where am I a hypocrite? When I said that there is too much emphasis on feet, that's because of the difference in the call between the NCAA and NBA levels. Look at his shoulders and upper body, he's clearly in position the whole time. On the slow-mo you can catch the feet sliding but you know the ref didn't see that.

Yes there was a foul, but OKC fans I think you have a lot more to be worried about than that 1 blown call. They're gonna happen every game (although at a particularly unfortunate time this game) and I think that some blown calls went both ways this game. More worrying should be that weak first quarter and performance overall.

Yeah, sorry, I fail at reading. xD But still, his feet were sliding. :/ And honestly, that's what makes the call consistent in the NBA. That their feet are planted. Shane's weren't.

This sums it up pretty concisely.
Also @itsmedudeman, looking at that game 6 1998 finals comes to mind as well iirc

80%? I can understand 65%, but 80%? I mean, the league average is 75%, why are you shocked that someone cant hit 80% when most of the league cannot hit 75%?

It's a BS call, but maybe strictly following the NBA rulebook it was a block. But there's no doubt in my mind even if Battier's feet were set he still wouldn't have gotten it. Them's the breaks.

If the positions were reversed and KD put that ticky-tack foul on Bron in the last seconds, people would be PISSED and going on about "you can't let them win the game at the line like that" and pointing at Jordan's push-off on Bryon Russell, no doubt.

And just for the record, i DO think that was a bogus call MJ got on Russell

Probably b/c it something you been doing your entire life. They are the easiest point to get yet some many players are bad at it.

Sorry then, I wasn't trying to be patronizing (probably the person in here with the least right to that too lol) and I daresay there are much more patronizing people around. Sports fans encompasses myself, and I've definitely had my moments (you should see me watching tennis--in tennis it's much more friendly and WP towards opponent but I'm always steaming anyway).
Damn I'm practically sad the Heat won now with all the emotions and anger flying around  ...if I see another foul like that before a Heat victory I'll just stay away from the thread for a bit (likewise if it's the opposite I suppose so I don't end up just qqing etc)
