zenryan Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 If the Heat could trade Lebron for Durant at the start of every 4th quarter, they would be unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 10:55 PM) Lebron would have gotten that call 99 out of 100 times and no one would say a word. I actually believe the Heat had a foul to give and were trying to foul Durant on the floor. There are plenty of times Lebron doesn't get bailed out down the stretch, and people ALWAYS b**** when he does get a call. It's not like the Rondo play a few games back where it was clearly a foul, there were numerous plays with similar or more contact that weren't called. It always seems like people find an excuse to blame the refs whenever Miami wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think a ton of close calls went against OKC through out the game. But at the end of the day OKC only can blame themselves for missing free throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fouls were basically even, so were the free throws. They might have had a couple of calls, but another ref might have fouled out Durant with over 3 minutes to go too on that charge/block.

zenryan Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The Heat got the benefit of swing fouls/calls. The BS goaltending call in the first half. It was a 8 point game with OKC making a run. Bad call makes it a 10pt game and leads to a big run by Miami. The horrible call against Fisher on Wade when Wade falls to the ground and the refs call Fisher for a foul with 2 seconds on the shot clock. That play happens every game with no whistle. Miami scores on that possession. And we all know about final Durant shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thunder shot more free throws than the Heat in a game where 1/3 of their shots were threes. I'm not getting the whining about the officials at all tonight.

But ultimately OKC could have won that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how they'd miss that live. That one on Wade was also weird. You pretty much expect the refs to miss/screw up a couple every game. That doesn't necessarily mean it was heavily slanted, I'm sure if I really tried I could find two that went OKC's way. The last one, as I said, I don't really see it. There was some contact on the floor, but Durant still got off a clean shot. That's pretty picky to me, then again I generally err towards the no-call.

Then LeBron clearly slapped Westbrook's wrist as he was going for the offensive rebound. That one was clear as day IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I like letting them play, but LeBron had Durant's right up pinned down and then hacked him. It was brutal and blatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Durant shouldn't have been in the game at the end. That Shane Battier blocking foul with 3:19 left was a brutal call, that should have been #6 on KD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Shane Battier blocking foul with 3:19 left was a brutal call, that should have been #6 on KD. Battier slid under Durant after Durant was already in the air. That really should be a blocking foul. The NBA has started calling this way to many times. If the offensive player is already in the air, the defensive player should not have a right to slide under him. That was one of the few 50/50 calls that went OKC's way. The majority went to the Heat. Say what you want, but there is a reason why a lot of people are talking about the refs, and its not just because Soxtalk posters always complain about the Bulls or Heat.
