Why did Durant and Westbrook just stand there?

[BRHornet45]

they would want every series to go 7 games which's understandable but how come they allowed so many 4-0 to happen in the first round?

son like I said "at this level"

the first round barely pulls in more television ratings than your typical weeknight, regular season games. once the second round starts is usually when the NBA will focus on controlling the games.

I'm sorry, people that think the NBA uses officiating to rig games are complete and utter morons. If you think about it logically. You say it's all about money and viewership for the NBA. Well, how much more money do they stand to make by rigging games versus the amount of money they would lose if proof of that ever got out.

The entire NBA would be ruined completely to the point of being like pro wrestling, where it's a "show" but not a sport and it would not recover any time soon.

I'm sorry but getting a few million more views or a few more games in a series isn't worth the risk of potentially ruining the entire league.

That's not even mentioning the logistics of actually making this happen being unrealistic.

Face it, if you believe theirs some sort of conspiracy with officials you're a re and need to find a less complicated sport to follow.

NBA officiating is difficult, they make bad calls, PERIOD.

Didn't even realize that. She looks completely different there. I was one of the first people to bring her up in the Soccer threads. My girl is all grown up!

That was a 2 step euro step, watch it again. I thought for sure it was a travel. TIVo'd and sure enough it was 2 steps and a layup nothing else. It was a legal move. He did not travel.

Spurs were so lucky with calls, give me a break. Manu travel, Perkins 4th or 5th foul on Timmy, Perkins 4 or 5th foul on Tony for +1, Jack flop when he got grazed by Durant's elbow, every charge we did was called in our favour and there was a bunch ( 3 or 4), Manu flopping on the top of the key to Harden for some nice FT's, so many calls went our way.....and on the other hand no FT's for Harden at all, 2 or 4 for Westbrook only.....

We got no room to talk about officiating

You should get a High def...

It wasn't a travel but it's understandable that people would think it was at first glance because his final dribble was obscured by all the congestion in the lane. The replay from the camera above the basket clearly shows that last dribble though. Not a travel.

son the NBA wants New York and Los Angeles in the finals every year. that is nothing new.
