No bias here, just the facts. Do with them what you will.
1. A defensive foul against Manu Ginobili is waved off, turned into an offensive foul. Replay showed Durant was sliding, original call was correct. - 3 pts for the Spurs
2. Manu Ginobili is hit setting a legitimate screen while Leonard hits a three. Ginobili is called for a foul. - 3 pts for the Spurs

3. Stephen Jackson receives a technical foul for looking at the Thunder's bench. He says nothing, he makes no gesture; he looked at them. + 1 pt for the Thunder
http://youtu.be/bs1fySutD7Y
4. Parker is called for a foul against Westbrook. The replay shows there was zero contact, and zero appearance of contact. +1 pt Thunder
http://youtu.be/80FC5WMiYqQ
5. Kawai Leonard is strongly hit in the head, causing him to lose the ball out of bounds. No call. +2 pts Thunder
http://youtu.be/Szcb81YL5HA
6. On a driving shot, Kevin Durant gets a foul called against a defender. It's Kawai Leonard, and he's not within five feet of Durant. + 1 pt Thunder
7. Kevin Durant initiates contact with a rip through move against Stephen Jackson. It is called a foul on Jackson - two free throws for Durant. A point of emphasis this season to referees has been that this is NOT a foul. + 2 pts Thunder
That's 14 free points to the Thunder, and Ginobili on the bench in the fourth, all because of fouls that did not happen. This is not whining about the referees, these are simply the facts, and they can be examined for validity.
During the stretch of bad calls in the 4th, the Thunder did not hit a FG for over 5 minutes. During this time they scored 15 points.
No whining, just posting the obvious bad calls. By the way, I would have posted bad calls against the Thunder, but after review I can't find any. If you can find blatantly bad calls against the Thunder, I'll edit this post and put those calls in the list.

You really want to torture us with this again? We just watched it twenty minutes ago for 's sake.
#2 was the killer. Complete bull . That got harden was already falling back before Manu touched him
Manu's foul was an easy call for an offensive foul. Actually he was lucky he did not get called for a flagrant on the foul on Harden.
Just keeping track of it. Btw, it's unbiased since any bad calls against the Thunder are more than welcome to be there. I can't find any.
Maurice Cheeks should have been t'd up to. He was talking to Jackson
Ploto, the Manu foul was called, and because he didn't attempt to hit Harden in the face, I don't see it as being obviously a technical. For that reason, I'm not going to include it - I'm trying to only include clearly poor fouls. As an example, I'm not including the Harden flop or another shooting foul on Durant in which the defender was straight up. Both are borderline.
Let it go already. We lost. You want to try to prove a point that's been stressed over and over again then so be it, but you look like a got doing it.
If you think it was bull , don't watch or take it as seriously anymore. It's entertainment.
Triggered, this is an unbiased thread. I'm happy to post bad calls in the other direction. And yes, it is entertainment... but it is entertaining based on the premise of fair officiating.
If the Spurs hadn't lost Game 5, this game wouldn't matter so much.
The Spurs got EVERY CALL and EVERY BREAK in the last few minutes of Game 5, and they still lost, so get over it....the Thunder were just the better team. Don't forget, they almost won Game 1 in SA.
#5 was absolutely egregious.
we tried get going but the refs stop us
They did not get every call, but they got plenty in the last couple of minutes. . .when we were already down big. And we stopped getting them when we got close. We also got no calls in between those 2 minutes and the first 2 minutes of the game, so it doesn't matter.
But the truth is refs give this game to the Thunders.
Btw, looking back at the Gamecast, the Spurs did not receive a borderline call in their favor for 19 minutes of the second half. Once again, just the facts.
The Harden super flop might have been the funniest thing I have ever seen, had it not had such a huge impact on the game.
The refs were horrible, yes, but we still had plenty of chances to win this game and didn't take advantage.
NBA TV not even showing KD's big charge call. They're in full conceal mode already.
let's face it, we were never gonna win this .
not with their youth + Stern's hard on for the Thunder. anyone who plays them in the Finals is ed.
Get ready for a can of intellectual whoopass in 3.... 2...... 1.....
Refs spot opponents 15 points and you think that still gives them a chance?
Rigged! Shameful! Spurs didn't have a chance! I can' t root for cheaters!
Update: Duncan will probably be fined for agreeing with this thread.
Fwiw, with the way the game was being called, the Spurs really had to play at the top of their game. Alright, no more whining from me.
2nd half could of easily been a whole bunch of no-calls against the spurs. They seemed to let OKC play through it. Moving screens OKC got away with, went against the spurs, the block on Durant when he lent over should of been a bonus for Manu and craziest one of all was the tech on Sjax.
spilt milk though
