Has There Even Been a Player As Protected By The Refs As Durant?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Shooting as many foul shoots as he does while just being a jumpshooter? Hmmmmm.....

[Horde of Temujin]

You're a Miami Heat fan, correct?

You're a Miami Heat fan, correct?

What if he was? The Heat don't get any more treatment then other teams. Look at the box scores and watch the games for proof. Not to mention, Wade and LeBron aren't jumpshooters.

That player had one of the most referee-protected games in league history. :rolleyes:

Whats it matter if root for the Heat? Wade and LeBron actually will take it to the rack with authority. And LeBron hasn't been getting the calls all season. The refs are starting to give him the Shaq treatment because of how defenders bounce of him. Wade hasn't been getting the calls people b.itch about all the time for the last few seasons. Durant is a jumpshooter. He is amazing at that skill, but there is no way in hell he is earning those calls.

Good post. Beat me to it, Game. Wade and Bron are much physical players. Durant, not so much.

[ThatsGame]

Oh btw, just to put things into perspective.

The Heat are 19th in the league for FTA, and 21st in FT.

OKC? 1st and 1st.

They are getting big-time ref help.

[selrahc]

and lebron went like what, 8 games without getting a foul called on him :roll:

[ThatsGame]

In order for the Heat to catch up to the Thunder who is currently at 41 games as opposed to 38 for the Heat, they would have to average 100 Free Throws for 3 games.

Neither is Durant and especially Westbrook. Durant attacks the rim and gets into the paint a lot more this year than years past. Not saying he does it as often as LeBron or Wade, but he's not just taking 20 jumpers a game.

[PJR]

When I watch Durant, I dont see many dubious calls being made. He pretty much derserves every trip to the foul line.

Calm down, Heat fans. Once the playoffs come around Bron and D-whistle will get their foul calls like crazy as usual. Btw, you all make it sound like Durant never takes a step in the paint. The kid is much more than just a jumpshooter. Just because that's what he excels at doesn't mean that's all he's entitled to.

I agree. People seem to think Durant only shoots jumpshots. It makes me wonder if they ever actually watch him play. :confusedshrug:

Except he actually drove to the rim a ton. And even lit up Tayshaun Prince and the Pistons elite defense in the ECF. Blame Avery Johnson for overplaying Shaq with those stupid fouls. Dallas was weak on the perimeter when it came to defense and they couldn't stay in front of Wade. Its not Wade's fault Josh Howard is a dumbass or Avery couldn't make adjustments at all.

[KG215]

That's the thing. Out of the 42 FT's the last two games, I can think of maybe 4-5 calls that were the type that would've made me get at least a little bit upset if I was a fan of the other team; and maybe 1-2 others that were no doubt about it superstar calls. Last night for instance, he shot two technical FT's and got intentionally fouled to prevent a fastbreak when OKC was in the bonus. That's 4 FT's right there. actor in the 6 or so he got from pretty obvious off-ball grabbing and holding, the other 6ish he got from pretty obvious shooting fouls on drives to the basket, and you're down to maybe a couple or three bad calls.

Like has been pointed out by others, Durant's slight frame and weak base leads to more obvious contact than what you see with most other players. He drives and gets bumped, it's a lot more noticeable. I understand why it would be frustrating for fans of the team playing OKC that night, though.

Can you honestly say that there was nothing wrong with games 1 and 2 of last year's ECF with a straight face? That is just one case.

I am a Knicks fan and I was disgusted after that bs call in Pippen on Hubert Davis in game 5 of the 2nd rd in 1994. I didnt not like winning in that manner.
Just because youre a fan of a particular team it does not obligate you to blindly support it. That is just some petty tribalistic bullshit.

[alleykat]

well if it's a foul it's a foul....so if durant gets hit then he should get the foul....
if lbj doesn't get the foul because it doesn't look like he is phased by it then that might be another issue.

durant gets those numbers regardless of fouls, and so does lebron. So i really don't see a problem. i don't see anybody in the NBA complaining.

[alleykat]

i don't get why it's so hard to understand?

lbj/wade are slashers and are in the paint. durant is not...so when he does go in and gets hit (which he does) he gets the foul.

the refs have to make a judgement call, that's why it is called AWARDING a foul. if the refs were to call everything the same and fair, then that means lbj would get 100 fouls a game, and it would be a terrible game.

You do realize I take nothing you say about the officials seriously, right? You blamed every loss in last year's series on the refs, and said every game was fixed. You're the last person that anyone should take seriously when complaining about officials, because you think every game your team loses is the refs fault. Every single one.

Durant is a ****ing toothpick that's why when he draws contact the refs can see easily when his skinny ass gets fouled...LBJ is a machine-robot when he draws contact he barely moves so the refs just ignore it.

To me, it's not that Durant is getting super preferential treatment (They Are mostly legit fouls from what i've seen), it's more that LBJ is getting no respect AT ALL. Anybody who thinks he is protected by the refs is kidding themselves. i've never seen so many missed calls on one perimeter player. still shooting 55% :bowdown:

That must be why they've only been able to make the WCF and NBA Finals the last two years. They're still shooting 84% from the FT line as a team, so if FT's are relatively close, they're still probably going to make more FT's than their opponent.

Turning the argument around though, who can stop Durant from putting up 30 a game? No one on Miami could in last year's Finals. He just needs better role player performances, and some of the iffy calls (like the no foul at the end of Game 2 on Lebron) to go their way and a series like that can change dramatically. I would expect a rematch this season to be much different, as long as the refs know their place and don't take control of the series.

Granted they aren't a great matchup against Miami, I think a year of experience will show them how to play them better. With the small lineup that Miami will probably go back to in the playoffs (Bosh at C, Lebron at the 4), OKC will realize they have to eliminate Perkins and go with Ibaka/Collison at the 5 for a majority of the time. I also think they could use an additional piece to help K-Mart off the bench. But if OKC can get their role players going without having to expend Westbrook and Durant so much then it will be more neck and neck than people think.

This is a dumb debate because Miami and OKC are two of the top new bandwaggons in the last couple of years. But Miami no doubt is the bigger one.

[tazb]

Fudge I'm curious...what made you decide to bandwagon OKC? Best team in the league? Durant?

[mehyaM24]

Except you have neither. Nobody knows who you are on this forum. Talking about quality. :oldlol:

Who have I switched to? I liked McGrady and became a fan of Durant/OKC? Still waiting on that Kobe part though. :oldlol:

uhm, i'm kind of a BIG deal. recognize greatness when its in front of you, peon.

meanwhile, you're still a shitty fan who hops from one player and team to the next...BUT only when the going gets tough. fickle ph*ggot. :oldlol:

[ganja0710]

Cool.

I think could bring NBA basketball at Edmonton or Calgary.
I'm from Lethbridge, so a Calgary team would be pretty cool. I probably wouldn't even mind a Vancouver team, it wouldnt be too long of a drive to get to a game.

And to Silkk, i actually like Toronto, i post in their game threads from time to time because all of their games get televised here. Guess i'm a bandwagoner of theirs as well?

[mehyaM24]

:roll: :roll:

Not from Miami. Just what I thought.

at least he lives in the country. lmfaooo

I never said otherwise. Just pointing out that ganga aka. Fudge is a big time hypocrite. He was a Tmac nut-rider that jumped on the OKC bandwagon as soon as they good. I agree with your post though.

He got tired of cheering for a loser like Tmac, so he jumped on the OKC bandwagon as soon as they took off. Call me a bandwagon fan all you want. Just don't be a hypocrite when doing so. Like when an OKC from Canada is calling you a bandwagoner :oldlol:

[ganja0710]

Never said I was. Are you from OKC? No, you live in Canada bro. You jumped on the Thunder bandwagon as soon as they got good :oldlol:
But you used pretty much that against me earlier? If i'm a bandwagoner for living outside of OKC, then you are too. You have no argument.

Nope, i started following them when McGrady went down with injuries and right before their 1st rd series against Denver in 2011. They weren't neccessarily "good" then, they were on the come up, or darkhorses.

You can bandwagon all you want. Do you think half of these Laker fans actually live in LA? :oldlol:

[ganja0710]

When McGrady went down, I pretty much lost interest in following Houston. Started following OKC before the '11 playoffs and just went with it. Durant then became my favorite player over time.

:confusedshrug:

what are you still doing here? i want cheese on my sandwich...bread toasted.

What don't you get about me not giving a s.hit who you root for? My point is don't be a hypocrite by calling other people bandwagoners.

[ganja0710]

Probably not.

I didn't call you a bandwagoner though, i called you a stan, which means something completely different. Bandwagoner is such an overused term. In actuality, it would mean that everybody that lives outside of the U.S. (europeans, asians, etc) thats a fan of a certain NBA team, is a "bandwagoner".

Responding to you. You're about quality posts right? I'm still waiting for that. :oldlol:

[KG215]

I still think they'll mAke it out of the west but i don't think they'll be as dominAnt as they are in reg seAson.
Hardly any great regular season team is as dominant in the postseason as they were in the regular season.

[mehyaM24]

Responding to you.

well, that's because you are my b.itch. :oldlol:

[TheMan]

Another horrible thread by the OP...just another day at ISH:facepalm

[ganja0710]

........................?:wtf: Is this real life? :biggums: Am I reading this correctly? :roll: So basically you just pick and choose what team to follow. :roll:
Yup, they weren't elite then. I didn't jump ship when they went to the Finals. They were darkhorses and were on the come up. You're gonna use this against me now that they're one of the best teams in the league? Go for it. :oldlol:

[KG215]

Durant is a jumpshooter. He is amazing at that skill, but there is no way in hell he is earning those calls.
Are you actually watching OKC games, or are you just looking at the boxscores?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Probably not.

Im a Lebron fan, obviously. But im not here tearing Wade or Bosh down. Im on record as saying I don't mind anyone on the Heat winning Finals MVP. Just win. Thats all I care about. So if that makes me a stan, so be it. But I could give a s.hit if Mike Miller or James Jones led the team in playoff scoring.

I was just talking in a general sense. Just really what i've seen from Heat fans when their team isnt doing so well. Posters that blame Wade for slowing down, and try to use him as trade bait to get a more quality player to help LeBron. If you aren't one of those posters, then my mistake.

[Legends66NBA7]

The majority of sports fans are bandwagon fans.

In Fudge's case, he's like Durant more now, not just because of his game or that it is somewhat similar to McGrady, but because he's more relevant.

Sports fans like things that are relevant. And they can choose to like whatever they want because it's their choice too. I'm sure the city Houston isn't coming down Fudge's door because he ain't cheering for them anymore.

And yes, Canadian fans not living in Toronto don't have to support the Raptors. Infact, I've talked to this about people in person and on other websites, that some Canadian would rather follow teams like the Heat or Lakers or Thunder or Celtics and so on... because the Raptors organization hasn't done anything to make them relevant or contending wise to make anybody want to watch the product on the floor to give a shit.

All good. I judge LeBron when he f.ucks up. Especially when pauk makes excuses for him in the 2011 Finals. And as for Wade, I think he is just coasting until the playoffs. Not sure if he will ever be 2011 Wade again, but his regression has been exaggerated. He just can't afford to play all out at his age.

This was surprisingly part of it as well. I've heard a lot of comparisons before i was even a Durant fan. Just a part of their game that makes it look easy, appeals to me.

I hope they dont mind haha. I know LKizzle and a few others remembers me being a Rocket fan. Hell, I was even a Rocket forum moderator at one point. Just really lost interest when McGrady left. Guess I was every bit of a stan then. :oldlol:

I've been watching them a lot now lately. All of their games are televised but i'd usually brush them off because well...they're the Raps. They're winning some games that they normally wouldn't, which is good. They gotta do something about Bargs though.

What if he was? The Heat don't get any more treatment then other teams. Look at the box scores and watch the games for proof. Not to mention, Wade and LeBron aren't jumpshooters.

You're kidding, right?
