2012 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Miami Heat

[bleys]

I'm still 5 mins from the end of the game.. a few plays at the end doesn't make up for what I've seen tonight throughout the game..

The reffing was inconsistent tonight, but there was no more contact on Durant's last shot than there was on Lebron's late bank shot.

If anything, Lebron fouled Westbrook on the offensive rebound right after Durant's miss

LeBron fouled Durant. You can see it on the sideline angle. When Durant went up for the shot LeBron pushed his forearm into his abdomen. Ref probably couldn't see it from behind him.

[bleys]

Well I disagree, I saw it both ways. The 3rd was ridiculous with the touch fouls that OKC won putting Miami in the penalty early. When I was watching I did not think wow OKC/Miami is getting fuged by the refs.

the video doesn't lie.. there have been plenty of calls that were not even close to a foul.. we can discuss various other aspects, but non-fouls are non-fouls.. questionable calls are another issue...

Meh, I think the refs missed calls but I don't think they were biased. Reffing in the NBA is hard and its part of the game so I have no problem with missed calls unless it was blatantly so and clearly it was not this game.

I hear ya.. I don't think refs consciously are biased towards teams.. I'm not talking about questionable calls.. I'm talking about exact same scenarios where OKC got fuged much more than the Heat... The DVR don' t lie.. ;)

FWIW, I've been pulling for the Heat to make it to the Finals.. apart of the game, hard or not, they made more assumptions tonight than I've seen recently..

B.O.B. those 4th quarter points and 3's by Durant were nice, but he missed the most important shot of the game and his team lost. Had that been LeBron, and his fans crying about fouls, he would've been crucified. You guys are gonna learn the first 3 quarters of the game matter too. Westbrook will be the "whipping boy" for this loss tonight, but for the 2nd game in a row, Westbrook gets more rebounds and assists than 6'11 Durant. He's a great scorer, but he's not the all around player LeBron is.

LeBron fouled KD on the last play.

[King Taharqa]

KD's gotta find a way to hit that shot. LeBron hits that shot. Magic hits that shot. Jordan hits that shot. But KD missed it, and then lets LeBron get the rebound. The kid had 3 all night. LOL.

LeBron may hit that shot, but he bricks the 3 KD hit before it 9/10 times. LeBron may be better all around but KD is more clutch & a better scorer.

I'll give it to LeBron though. He played phenominal & I'd argue that was the biggest game of his career. He played great.

[King Taharqa]

That wasnt the biggest nor best game of his career. It was 1 win in the Finals. And grabbing 3 rebounds and dishing 1 assist in a Finals game is not "clutch" sir for a guy 6'10 and being hailed as better than LeBron James. Kobe and ESPN has fuged the game up. You guys only look at scoring, and what a player does the last 2 minutes of a game. But ignore everything else, its a joke. LOL.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

nice. now we've got a finals.

[X-Clown]

Hey come on!

Lebron shot 25% in the 4th period!

Props to DWade and holy crap that Battier 3 was lucky, lol. (I'm sure he called bank.)

What about shooting 2-10 in the 4th, losing, and then blaming your teammates in the media? I don't recall lebron doing that.

[King Taharqa]

LeBron never throws his teammates under the bus like that, especially not publicly. He even took full blame for the Heat losing the Finals last year. He didnt point the finger at any one but himself.
