Again, they erasd 7 points in a 6 point game. They didnīt call 6 goal tending in Ibaka the whole series, tell me which basket by OKC was ruled out for an away from play call?
Not true man.
Ginobili and Parker were treated like 2nd year players right there in fron you eyes, Fisher run into Duncan for an offensive foul. The referees erased 5 points of the board from the Spurs, given a technical for staring (first time) and changed a call on Ginobili without reviewing it when it was obvios that the review would make the call stand AND1. Thatīs 7 points right there on a 6 point game.
This was clearly a fix because the league wouldnīt risk to take the rythm out of OKC and bring the series back to SA where the Spurs would be moral up and OKC moral down.
Sadly, i agree with you that the Thunder could have pulled away this game, even ifthe Spurs were up 1 with 24 seconds left, because they have made some incredible tough shots, and they could be heading into the Confernce Finals with a buzzer beater. Instead they are heading there with a tainted win, that will most NBA fans look iffy about the Thunder, even more if Durant becames the face of the NBA which will undoubtly happen.
I think only the Heat may beat you, because it would be a better script than the Thunder winning, and the league know they need the Dark Side on it.
May the force be with you Thunder fan. Cause what ref gives, they take away.

Scrape that thin surface and it comes shining through.
Enjoy your LIFE at the bottom, while I sure enjoy mine up here.
Without others winning for ME.
Ohhh..so now we're gonna go back and pick and choose calls throughout all games during the whole series? Well while you're at it, go pick out the BS calls that SA got too..because there's plenty of them.
Defensive, defensive.
We want you on the attck mode, westbrook-style.
it' more fun.

Enjoy the offseason.
For those that were actually into seasons,
it is ALWAYS offseason when OTHERS play, even during the "season".
I don't need anyone winning anything for me.
Keep watching your heros and enjoy the wistles if Wade shows up!

Not sure in all my years of watching the NBA, have I seen a 2nd half of basketball and an outcome dictated as much by the referees. And this includes the illegal pick set by Paultz vs the Bullets years ago, as well as the "lights going out" in the Capital Centre halting a huge Spurs momentum surge.
Look, I think OKC is a worthy representative of the West, no doubt, but it was obviously clear to Spurs fans what was happening in front of their eyes. Almost comical as it was painful to watch. Even the looks on the eyes of some of the OKC players was proof enough. I think they were even shocked by some of the calls. Maybe the worst was the charge called on Ginobili vs. Harden when he kicked to Leaonard for a 3. Harden sprinted over to a spot and literally ran into Manu. But when one team isn't allowed to screen, handcheck, push, etc, as the other team, its clearly an unfair advantage (thus turnovers). Every screen Perkins sets could almost be called illegal. And then Westbrook kicks his leg out on his layup under the basket, hits Tony and it causes him to fall, and he gets the "and one" call. Too many others to list (and don't even get too close to Durant...invade his space and there will be a whistle...if only an already Hall of Famer (TD) received such treatment.
Yes, OKC, you can always come back with the standard line of "there were bad calls on both sides" and that is true of game 6. Bottomline the ref's were bad all the way around, but when it comes to "for both sides" it was a bit uneven in the "bad" category- more like 85% bad for SA, and 15% bad for OKC.
I don't post much anymore, as I did years ago here and on another site, but just felt I had to join the masses, not just in SA but around the globe...(my job is global and I have had folks who watched this game in the middle of their mornings send emails stating concern over a game they felt was cleary officiated for one side) in voicing my displeasure over again, seeing the "ugly side" of the NBA.
I wish the Thunder the best and I hope they take it all...too bad this series wasn't given the integrity it deserved.
^ this dude is legit
Only ones who don't see it are (most) thunder fans and stupid spurs fans. Sup dmc and ploto?
Your team should still be in Seattle tbh.
pego your avatar will only be avatar-worthy if you photoshop stern's head peaking out of the limousine tbh.
Haha I ain't got tha skills or the program but be my guest, photochop away and I'll use it
My best advice for Seattle Thunder fans - get used to people hating your team...

Good series.
I can't disagree on the refs, we got the majority of the calls, i think you guys got one more run left.
I like Durant. Going to be the best player in the league for the next decade.
I liked Harden before but lost a little bit of respect for him after some of the bull hes pulled recently. Still respect his game though.
No real qualms about the Thunder except they're the most ref-coddled team since the 2006 Heat. Which is pretty ridic considering they're from a small market where meth + banging family members are the main recreational activities.
I'd want them to win over Miami, but would probably pull for Boston.
Honesty...it's refreshing.
But I'm still rooting for Boston.
I don't think we disagree that we got alot of calls in that 2nd half. We clearly did.
glad to see not all thunder fans are blind to it. what do you say about your buddy thunderfan vehemently denying it?
National Basketball Entertainment.
Like I said in the game thread, I was fully expecting the Undertaker to run down from the stands and hit Duncan with a chair. 2006 Miami and 2002 Kings wasn't even as bad IMO.
With that said, congrats on your finals appearance. Go East.
Congrats Thunder fans. It should be interesting the next few years to see if an OKC/Miami rivalry gets going, as there's really no one out there who should be able to touch either team.
2006 Miami over dallas
2006 Dallas over spurs
2002 Lakers over kings
2012 Thunder over spurs
biggest, most blatant fixes in nba history tbh
The Thunder remind me a lot of the 2006 Mavs... But of course Thunder fans wouldn't know anything about that so, oh well.
It goes both ways my friends... If the whistle goes against you, don't come crying to us.....
Good luck![]()
Don't forget about when The Earthquake put Hulk in the hospital due to shattered ribs...

Uhh...back up and try to process what I said. I never denied we got favorable calls. I denied your BS conspiracy theory that the damn NBA is rigged.
