    Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

    despite some bad calls in the 3rd....(which I agree on BTW)

    - OKC gave up a 17 point lead
    - They had MIA tied which their best player hobbling in 2:00, then let Mario Chalmers seal the game

    more than any other game this series....OKC had their chances...

    Young fellas gotta capitalize

      That's why to me this series is like Ivan Drago(heat) vs Balboa(okc). Nothing special about taking the easy way IMO.

      I guess Rocky always did come back at the end though....right?lol
      I hate to break it to you but that's exactly what the NBA has been for the last 30 years.

      - Boston
      - LA
      - SA
      - Chicago
      - Detroit

      Have won a combined 27 titles since 1980. I'm not going to look up the MLB stats but I'm guessing the NBA is way more lopsided than baseball over the last three decades.

          Just saw where Scott Brooks told Durant to get to the free throw line. I guess Durant just doesn't have the killer instinct.. it could change.

            Lebron isn't going to get a break tomorrow.

            I bet you Skip is going to say Chalmers is more clutch then Lebron.

            And then I bet you he's going to say he's been clutch since he was at Kansas and beat Derrick Rose for the National Championship.

            If I'm right...someone has to donate for me

              Prob. would have got it in those last few minutes with all the Thunder misses. Still a great game

                Off the top of my head,

                Harden's fast break where Wade pushed him in the back.
                LBJ manhandling Harden in the post and the foul being called on Harden.
                Durant's jumper over Wade on the right baseline near the end of the 3rd.
                Westbrook either had a pull up jumper or layup where James Jones obviously hit him but there was no call.
                Haslem hammering Fisher and sending him out of bounds.
                Battier running into one of Westbrook's pull ups right after Harden was called for the same kind of foul on Wade. I think it was the 3rd but may have been the 2nd quarter.

                I'm pretty sure I could find 4 more if I rewatched the quarter or re-read the thread. The 3rd quarter was brutal.

                          Damn.

                          Russell Westbrook threw away this game? Game 4?

                          That's golden.

                            Who is this Skip fellow that you talk of? Is he some sort of mythical creature because if the Heat win Thursday he may have to disappear.

                              Harden slowed up to try and draw the foul. Any contact that occurred was well before he botched the layup. I thought Wade bumped him though. The Harden/ LeBron thing should have been a no call in my view. It isn't an offensive foul to put your body into someone. If he blatantly shoved him or threw a shoulder into him then it should have been a foul. Being bigger and stronger doesn't mean you are fouling someone. I don't remember the other two plays, but I will take your word for it on them.
