The one where he stuck his leg out is not a foul.Westbrook either had a pull up jumper or layup where James Jones obviously hit him but there was no call."To the last minute, to the last second, to the last man, we fight"Comment

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****
LBJ in the post threw 3 elbows into Harden. It was (I think) one of the first fouls where the commentators were in awe that it was called on Harden and not Bron.
The Durant jumper over Wade, Wade hit his left arm as he went up for the shot. A few seconds later, Durant was in the same spot and took Lebron to the hole, hitting a falling layup while Bosh hit him in the head. I forgot to mention that no-call.
Also, I forgot the play where Ibaka fell onto Bosh and got called for a foul, then Wade did the same thing to an OKC player a possession or two later and there was no call. I can't remember if that was the 2nd or 3rd quarter. I don't agree with either call being made, but if you're going to make one, you have to make the other.Last edited by slimm44; 06-19-2012, 11:35 PM.Acts 2:38. Let the truth be told.

Skip is going to kill Westbrook for the turnover he dribbled off his foot and the foul. Westbrook still had a heck of a game.Comment

These teams just gained a lot more common ground.
Normally I would give them the benefit out the doubt, but the one sided officiating is too blatant to ignore. It's not just the calls that the Thunder don't get, it's the calls that Wade and LeBron get on a consistent basis. Truly is embarrassing.
I have no vested interest in either team, and have the utmost respect for LeBron James and his game, but I'd rather him win a championship by actually winning it, and not by it being handed to him. Sure the Thunder blew the lead, but if Thunder got half the calls they should have gotten, they would have won by 10+. Same thing in Game 2.
And anyone who says LeBron winning isn't good for the league, is out of their mind. This same thing would have happened in Cleveland if he would have stayed there. It was only a matter of time. The Lakers/Celtics wave had to fade out first.
I just want to see good basketball, not a series defined by officiating and people trying to find other reasons for losing because they don't want to admit it effects the game.
The Thunder are a better team. There is no question in my mind, and wiped the floor with a better team than the Heat in 4 straight the series prior and had all the momentum in the world, while the Heat limped in barely beating a injury ridden Celts team. Come on man.Cubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****
I'm not talking about that one. That should have been a foul on Russ if anything. The one I'm talking about was with around 2 min left in the 3rd. Russ pulled up at the FT line and Jones clearly gave him a forearm shiver, but I can't remember if it was to the chest or back. I think it was the chest/stomach. Even the announcers commented on the no-call.Acts 2:38. Let the truth be told.
