I didn't see the game last night, but how does this go uncalled?



I don't like seeing fouls called at end of games in general, unless its obvious.

edit: looking at it again, the ref on the baseline didn't have the best angle to see LBJ's left arm.

^^ It's the playoffs.
Let the players decide like big boys.
KD got away with other fouls.
The refs didn't lose you the game!

the only 50/50 KD got away with was the blocking foul.

OKC got robbed of two fouls. the KD + Ibaka block and the no call on LBJ at the end.

Rofl is this a joke? The only reason people are crying about this particular shot was because they replayed it 50x over in slow motion. Do that to EVERY OTHER SINGLE SHOT and half of them would have fouls uncalled. People whining about season fouls in the playoffs. Hah

IF they were gonna give season fouls on durant's last shot there would have been a foul BEFORE the shot anyway.

I don't see why I would be touchy at all, I wasn't the one who was just proven wrong through evidence. But thats just like, your opinion man.



Compare Durants to his first 5 years against LBJ last 5 years. Be interesting to see LBJ first 5 against Durant, show us the stats.


just go to basketball-reference.com and look at it

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01.html
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duranke01.html
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/wadedw01.html

I think people would be shocked when they see those numbers. Durant isn't exactly at their levels 5 years in but he's damn close.

ETA: And he's better than Wade in PPG while close enough in FG% to compare them as scorers 5 years in. LeBron is just a tad better in both.

Why are we comparing those stats again...? Look at lebron james first 5 years which are equally as impressive. Now he just has better efficiency.

until you look at other offensive stats like assist to turnover, or offensive rebounding, and notice lebron is leagues ahead of everyone, AND the best scorer is the nba today.

Yes its the playoffs so what, with so many questionable calls already they miss a obvious one that might have changed the outcome. People are going to be upset and complain about it for the series.

I hope y'all got that I was being somewhat satirical. There's no reason why it shouldn't have been called and I was just listing all of the justifications being thrown out. The most you can say is that's them apples and move on.

Interesting facts:

1. The Heat have only outscored the Thunder in the first quarters of both games so far by 7 and 12 respectively.

2. The teams have tied in both second quarters.

3. The Thunder have outscored the Heat in the second halves of both games by 18 and 8 respectively.

Despite the fact that they won last night, I'd still be concerned if I were the Heat due to the fact that they've only won two quarters out of the eight. Also, how much longer can Battier keep up his stellar play, and will other role players step up if he can't?

I'd be more worried if I'm OKC - 2 games at home and Miami has had double digit leads in both. Kind of hard to blame the Heat for not "winning" more quarters as you'd be asking them to blow OKC out at home by double digits in the Finals on the road. That's a pretty tough task

Pffffft please, last night was hardly a "blowout." More like nerves and OKC losing a close game due to bad first quarter they couldn't quite catch up from. LBJ certainly didn't think it was a blowout in the post-game interview. This thing is going to be a war every step of the way.

Go Thunder.

I think the refs just wanted to have it a little bit tougher in the playoff. There were alot of contacts happened from both ends the entire game but no calls were made and the last play was just one of them. Also Miami has a foul to give in that play so who knows what would have happened.

Stop with the fouls and that they didn't call it. They're not going to call a dumb ass foul. That foul was to simple. It's the finals, either play tough or be a bitch about every little hit.

Apparently Durant, Westbrook and Jaleel White are good friends, and for those who missed this story when it happened, apparently the thunder players arent the only NBA players that have been seen hanging out with Steve Urkel.

As someone who is rooting against Miami, it is absurd to say OKC was robbed because they didn't call those late fouls. Durant shouldn't have even been in the game at that point and Wade and Lebron get mugged everytime they so much as look at the paint (Lebron seriously should've gone to the FT line MORE, it's amazing how much they "let them play" ).

Or how about you just call every foul correctly? One missed call is not a justification for more missed calls. Or shall we go through the whole game and reassign fouls for every play? Because that's what you're suggesting.

There are bad calls and you have deal with it and live with it, but justifying a bad call like it's some sort of cosmic karma is asinine.

At the end of the day, yeah, the foul didn't cost OKC the game in any way, shape, or form. People who said it did, including me, were just being emotional rather than rational. :/ It was a bad no-call, but it was OKC's fault they had to try and come back from such a gigantic deficit.
