Another one.
They don't have to win another game in OKC. Home court matters. Did people think this would be easy?
35-4 ??Yea nothing to see here...
True, an easy way to fix the game is to make the overall FT count about even but give the favored team way more shooting fouls. Anyone who thinks the refs aren't in on any games should read Donaghy's book.
And the stupid announcers bending over to kiss their own arses trying to say it wasn't the ref's fault--the calls were "even". Lmao. Whatever....
Second half free throws..biggest discrepancy in nba history
The fact that they are even acknowledging it and doing damage control means that it was painfully obvious
Sometimes, you have to wonder... does TNT film crew purposely hide replays of fouls to prevent national media scrutiny? I mean on some of the replays, OKC player didn't even get touched and it was still a foul
yep. mainstream media are worthless in this country.
honestly I didn't realize the third quarter was that bad. where the was I?
I thought overall the officiating was good in the first half, but it's in the second half when Donaghy's ex-boys take over.
They do it all the time, its pathetic, most bad calls dont get replays, especially of its in the favor of the thunder
They never show replays of the ticky tack "touch" fouls that probably shouldn't be called for either team.
Either you call ticky tack fouls consistently, all the time, which results in a game where each team shoots 100 free throws, or you don't call them at all.
Selectively awarding ticky tack fouls preferentially to one team over another is precisely how refs control games.
so biggest free throw disparity in nba history in a quarter and no mainstream attention? why?
Whatever it takes. Just like Memphis and LA before us. They not even trying to hide it.
Frankly speaking OKC outplayed us even with the refs in their pocket for the 2nd half so it doesn't matter.
Taking away Mills' 3 was robbery though. That was a huge momentum play.
Okc Refs are a of a team.
Its hard to outplay someone when they spend half the quarter at the free throw line and you cant build an offensive rhythm, i would say its near impossible
Exactly, all these apologist dip s completely ignoring this, which no team in history could overcome.
Also, loved how Reggie didnt think that Adams doing a butt slam on Duncan was a foul just because duncan didnt have the ball. I guess someone should just nail Ibaka with a flying leg sweep... you know, since he didnt have the ball. I dont think a single person who watched that game thought the spurs had a chance in the second half, if we fluked in enough 3s to be close at the end the refs wouldve done what they needed too. This was an unwinnable game, period, end of story.
I agree.
Incidentally I thought the refs greatly favored the Spurs in game 2 which I hate because it takes away from the fact that we were outplaying OKC anyways and would've won by 25 instead of 30 or 35 with fair reffing.
Actually with fair reffing tonight I don't know how things would've gone, because if you want fair reffing you have to take into account the fact that the refs were clearly favoring the Spurs in the first half (for whatever reason). Mills 3 makes the differential 6, but if the game was called fairly in the first half then OKC probably should get a net +5 which makes the differential +11.
However, then the question is did OKC get a net +11 bull free throw advantage in the third and fourth? I'm not sure.
Oh, and the last 8 free throws taken by our scrubs were almost entirely bull . The refs were just trying to make the final disparity look respectable, IMO.
Anyways the point is there are a lot of variables and it's hard to say what would've happened but my eye test says OKC still would've won overall as they did outplay us. Parker played like .
I love the ref's calling 6 fouls on OKC with 4 min left in the game to pad the foul total so it wont
look as bad.........

This
They dont want to admit that they watched a rigged product, I can acknowledge that, I know the NBA is rigged but i watch to see if we can overcome it. Its bad for business if Durant goes down 3-0 and kills their ratings. Sure we didnt play great but the refs were the main contributor to our offensive inefficiency.
Evens out the foul count and affects audience perception
Whistle Refbrook MVP. Also pops genius strategy of no Ginobili after that first half directly contradicting his snark "keep doing what works"comment FTL
