Look at the way the Thunder got their points in the 4th quarter. You can't look at me with a straight face and tell me that they didnt get ALOT of calls to go their way in the 4th. After Harden made a 3 pointer with 9:32 to go, the Thunder didnt score from the field until the 4:35 mark of the quarter. If that isnt some bullshit, I don't know what is....

[Blue-Lightning]

Agreed.

Fucking bullshit. I hope Boston plays like GODS to overcome all the corrupt bullshit coming their way and hope they beat the shit out of Miami and OKC.

I'd love to see a video of these bad calls put together.

The thing I can't stand is that other than Skip Bayless on Twitter, no one else in the national media from ESPN OR TNT has talked about the officiating in that 4th quarter. There were some HUGE calls that changed the entire complexion of the game, yet no one is talking about. All they are talking about is how "great" OKC was to overcome the deficit and shit...

It wasn't about the free throws they got (although some were without doubt soft), it was the bullshit no calls when we got fouled and the bullshit offensive fouls that should have been no calls

The tech on Jackson was just the fucking sign that showed how this shit was gonna go down

:pctoss

Dudes, we had a 15 point lead at halftime in a game that everyone thought would be an OKC blowout of the Spurs. By the time the refs fucked it up, we had no gas in the tank. It happened, and it sucks, but OUR TEAM lost that lead...the refs just made sure OKC stayed ahead.

I initially loved the T, because it showed that SJax was not going to give into the pressure that the Spurs faltered on this series. I thought that T would rile up the troops to fight on.

But the other side of me had a feeling that after that technical, the game would begin to favor OKC and start our downfall. Unfortunately, it did.

The ONE call that changed the game for me was the Manu "offensive foul" call. That call changed the entire game. If that Kawhi 3 stands, it makes it a 1 point game. Instead, it remained a 4 point game and Manu had to go out with his 5th foul...which lead to Neal coming in and leaving Fisher WIDE open in the corner to hit a 3....

Yea I was suprised at that call as well. I need to see the replay again, but it looked like Harden was trying to bo-guard through, and it should have been a no-call.

Personally, I rarely do complain about the officiating but there were some fishy calls in that 2nd half.
