    Horrendous.

    At first I thought it was a good no-call but on the replay they showed when they came back from commercial, Lebron appeared to hold his shoulder a little on the way up.

    There are a ton of missed calls in every NBA game, you can't blame the ref for tonight's game. OKC took the entire 1st quarter off. They have to get Durant more shots. Heat are playing well right now but can't expect Battier to keep making 4 or 5 three pointers every game.

    How does that not get called? What a joke... he had his arm in there before he even jumped, then went down his entire body during the shot.

    Ugh... I dont know why Miami gets so many calls that no one else can get, even Kevin Durant who is only one of the top players in the league!

    That was a BRUTAL no-call. I know refs are going to miss calls over the course of the game, but to miss that one at that point in the game is unacceptable.

    Also interesting that both Durand and Westbrook had 2 fouls in the 1st quarter....refs might have gotten some direction from Stern on that one :o

    wade and lebron also had 2 fouls in the first qtr - so that would be an odd directive to give. also a handcheck below the waist is on every single play in a basketball game - finish the shot or start trying sooner or take the loss. I dont care who wins i just want to see a few more games like that one --- super exciting basketball

    that was not a hand check ... not only did he grab his shooting arm ... he slapped his off-arm too ... there were at least 3 fouls that could be called there ... and the reality is that durant rushed his shot because he was going for the And-1 ... he was clearly fouled and the ref was there ...

    horrible

    that goaltending call too was horrible ...

    for sure OKC need to start better and that's all on westbrook - he still doesn't know how to manage a game ... if the thunder don't start getting perkins, thabo, ibaka involved in the offense - they will have a hard time winning cuz those guys get to the second half of the game and they are invisible ...

    That was more than a hand check, his arm was up against Durant and moved towards him changing the shot, then LBJ slapped Westbrook's arm on the rebound taking any chance he had to get it. 3 outta the 5 Durant fouls were at least a little questionable when you see what other stars get.

    Thunder can't keep gettin down like that though and Westbrook was playing the most out of control ball I've seen in the playoffs. Hardin should cut out the flopping too. They're not callin it and he got punished last night for it with that charge.

    basically i see it this way -- the leader of each team is basically equal -- the #2 and #3 guys on each team are about equal and the supporting casts are about equal --- so it comes down to which team plays harder and which coaches make better adjustments game to game. Last night Spoelstra made the better adjustments - Bosh to the starting lineup - Wade of high pick and rolls - telling his team not to settle for jumpers and making several defensive assignment changes. Also i think the Heat played harder then the Thunder for 48 minutes.
    The refs and one or two calls did not decide that game. Calls are calls and thats just part of the game.

    and for the record i have been all over the Heat Hater wagon - and i love watching the Thunder play - they are super exciting. For some reason i am beginning to sympathize with Lebron recently - maybe because he isnt flopping and he is finishing games like he never has before -- maybe its because the whole world is on OKC right now - or maybe it is just because i love to root for the bad guy ...... whatever it is i know that i am not unhapppy as long as the games are super competitive - may the best team win.

    In a game decided by 5 points or less, it most certainly does.

    I don't feel sorry for him. He's brought all of this on himself. I haven't seen big shift in his behavior and he's always finished a big game here and there, but he hasn't finished THE game. He fed into the Thunder comeback last night like he always does, with a bad pass late. That missed foul gets called and it's highly likely it's back to "why can't Lebron finish?"
