“So act like you’ve been there before.”

When OKC fans DO act like they’ve been there before they get ragged on because they haven’t.

Not sure what it is you people want.

Long story short, stop b*tching about the refs.

That’s a time when they more or less say anything goes.

I’m not saying its right – I’m just saying they’ve done it that way for decades.

The Boston/Miami series was annoying, cuz the ref’s were whistle-happy and that helps make the game chippy. It causes players on both teams to complain.

Even Van Gundy calling the game said he didn’t see a foul, it was incidental contact.

People that “reach in” to swipe at the ball and creat contact will get hit with fouls all day.

Sad but true.

It’s called accountability. Very refreshing.

I have a ton of respect for this team. They may be young, but they show a lot more class and composure then most other teams. (CELTICS) Westbrook and Perkins (Former Celtic) are the only players that are borderline.

I guess the refs also made OKC’s basket smaller. Those damn refs!!

that’s fine…that’s what sports and the nature of loving sports and being a fan is. if you want to talk about a game or what ifs or this was great or that was crap, no problem. just know that there are TONS of variable that could have changed the outcome of any basketball game. there were ticky tack fouls called on KD early. tons of no calls when both sides drove to the basket. you can’t look at ONE call in isolation and say that team should have won. Reggie Miller pushing off Jordan for the game winning 3 in the ECF in 98. No call. What’s this??? Jordan pushing off on Byron Russell to get space for that iconic game winning shot in 98 Finals? No call. So what?

if the talk is how we make reffing better, no problem. let’s make it better. let’s add refs or add additional situations where instant replay can be used. fine. no argument from me. but to whine about one specific no call and not recognize that there are tons of outcomes of any game if this or that was called? gimme a break.

bottom line is winning at OKC in this years playoffs was impossible up until last night. they are a fantastic team no doubt. but they didn’t play well enough to win last night. the heat didn’t play well enough to win game 1. in both instances, the losing team played only 3 quarters at best. the heat played 4, james attacked the paint relentlessly, wade showed up, bosh contributed heavily, battier is insane with his threes, chalmers is holding his own, and i’m sure the heat would like more quality minutes from others on the bench especially haslem but they ground it out last night and they deserve the win.

move on…

What a disgrace. Now watch…game 3 will be evenly called. And whoever wins game 3 will get no calls in game 4. And then if it is 2-2, game 5 will be evenly called. And then game 6 will be called for whoever is down 3-2.

If you don’t believe that, then you love the NBA too much and are giving them too much of the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think they have a horse in this race. But I DO believe they will try to make this a 6 or 7 game series at all costs. And that includes a little reminder to the refs how to call the fouls before the game.

Lebrosch Wade? come on
