If we do play OKC, refs will have to keep it less blatant now

Why? They'll keep their jobs, and probably get a bonus. No one was worried about it being 'blatant' last night.
My only consolation is that if the NBA and their sponsors get their 'dream' series of Miami/OKC, it will be a dud. OKC cannot handle adversity if they don't have the refs, and those will be firmly in Miami's pocket. It'll go 5 games, max.
Yeah like nothing like this happend before.

Best case scenario Tony Brothers gets taken out of OKC games. But no way that is happening.

Spurs/Heat series had higher ratings. I think the NBA wants a Heat/Spurs rematch. That was one of the best finals in awhile. OKC/Spurs WCF would draw higher ratings than a LAC/SPURS WCF.

Disagree. I think the Spurs/Heat matchup drew good ratings because it was a classic 'underdog (spurs) vs. giant (heat)' matchup that went 7 games. Plus, the Spurs just about bulldozed everybody on their way to the Finals, so there was that "maybe the old guys can knock off the champs thing". Also there is always a better chance at good ratings in a true "finale", like a 7th game, as they had last year.
NBA markets stars vs. the sport. So a match-up between LeBron and Kevin would be an easy marketing assignment, and would likely draw a big crowd.
You are right, I believe, about the SAS/OKC WCF being higher rated probably than the LAC/SAS WCF, but for the same reason I listed above. They would star Kevin Durant.

Good thing about last years finals is that there were no scuffles/fake toughness, I think D-Wade and Haslem are the only assholes of all players in Heat/Spurs combined

:lmao damage control. If that blunder didn't happen the Clippers would win the series.
That game was the clippers game and with it they probably would have won the series. Now they almost certainly wont. All due to a few key, horrible calls by the refs.
