OKC is throwing the game anway with stupid turnovers
Miami taking the foot off the gas now trying to lose
Take that back OKC got this! awesome strip of wade by Sef than Wade bricks another jumper which he does best in crunch time!
That didn't look like a foul on Harden.
OKC is really hardheaded ughhh

no it didn't. should''ve been a known call or offensive on bron. But Harden was overplaying like a dumbass
Lebron has been through heartbreak. Now Durant will experience it and maybe he too will overcome it
Lebron will not be denied this year. Heat win this in 5.

OKC will come back cant count them out. OKC should have won this game to be honest
So the ref didnt see Miami coach running to Westbrook waving and screaming when he took that 3?
Anyway, I think tonight was an awful decision making night for Scott Brooks.
This is why the NBA makes me sick, Durant has been getting calls throughout the playoffs then all of a sudden the finals come around and he's in foul trouble back to back games and not getting the benefit of the doubt, Lebron on the other hand seems to get all the 50 50 calls including the offensive foul on Harden, btw did anyone see the super travel by Lebron in the 1st quarter where he hop stepped from the foul line right to the rim smdh.

Yep I agree one hundred percent. I was just telling a friend that I cannot wait for college basketball because I am sick of this mess. And I definitely saw the travel, one of thousands he gets away with. Ironically, I was just watching the post game coverage on NBATV with Shaq and Barkley and of course they claim that it was not a travel because he landed on two feet, but he didn't. He landed one-two. Had he landed on both feet simultaneously then it is not a travel. It really really sucks to see how athleticism is more appreciated than proper fundamentals.
Agreed how about when Lebron through the ball off the bottom of the backboard which is out of bounds they call it inbounds and Miami scores smh

Kevin Durant is not strong enough to guard Lebron James.
How often does Lebron miss layups? He is going to get the benefit of the doubt because the guy is unstoppable.
The hop step move was pretty comical though. I don't understand why that is a legal move.

Haha yes, that travel was hilarious, one step>hop>lands and shuffles during landing
This game had nothing to do the with the Ref's. OKC and Brooks blew it. Up 7-10pts, and Durant going to the bench with his 4th foul, why did Brooks take Westbrook out aswell? Harden was struggling and he needed another offensive player on the floor. The last 4 min stretch of the 3rd Q is why OKC lost. They fouled 2 three point shooters in a row (bonehead plays) and had trouble generating offense.
Also, why isn't anyone mentioning how the best freethrow shooting team in the league is choking at the line. OKC missed 9 from the line last night. Miami has been awful at the line all playoffs but they have been sinking everything from the line ion the finals. Also, Westbrook had a 3 point shot in the air with a chance to tie and clanked it. Thabo threw it away on the in bounds pass; game over. I know most everyone hates the Heat but at least look at the game a little objectively....
I haven't been able to watch the Finals because of work but I just saw this
.
That is inexcusable, I don't care that there's 30 seconds left in the game, the refs have to step in there and call a technical.
The OKC Thunder rather play some defense in these playoffs,
than rather make another team or teams play some defense against themselves.
Thus bunch of good perimeter shooters, or 1-on-1 players of starters and role players,
even Derek Fisher become a stud ole' 1 and 1 player now with OKC and its success.
Point is if Durant, Westbrook and buddies was going to the basket or making extra pass
or throw in ball downlow more to Perkins or Ibaka at end of crucial Quarters #3 and 4,
to draw some fouls aggressively then OKC would get more calls from refs, I believe.
OKC Durant and Westbrook even Harden is more than happy to get a 3 or long 2pt jumper
with no force from Miami, rather than force issue and get these HEAT into more fouls
by aggressive plays closer to hoops.
Heat know OKC can shoot better than rest but in 4th quarter if you down by 5 and keep being
happy away from basket for jumpers way OKC is content with what HEAT defense gives them when
they miss they aint going to get them ticky tack calls. They aint going to get them marginal
calls against HEAT which can be called and they aint gonna win!
OKC and their coach whom is great is playing right into HEAT hands with lack of making Miami
play harder if OKC would only pack it in the paint, which these skinny guys like Russell and Kevin
are not wanting on consistent basis.
