So do we just ignore the 6 or so FTs Adams shot because the Spurs intentionall fouled him? I'm not talking about just the one time they went "Hack-a-Adams", either. There were two other times Adams got the ball around the basket and the Spurs intentionally fouled to avoid giving up an easy dunk. So now you have, what, 7-8 other fouls that led to FTs in the 3rd quarter. I can think of one, maybe two that were ticky-tack fouls. The one that I wasn't sure about was the foul out on the perimeter where they called a hold on Belinelli guarding Durant.

I also remember the Spurs shooting mostly 3s and long 2s in the 3rd quarter and very rarely attacking the basket.

The few times the Spurs drove the basket they got no respect.. I remember one play where they stole the ball and had a 3 on 1 with Duncan Kawhi and Parker and Duncan got hacked with no call.. which led to Okc coming down the next play and getting points.. The Mills offensive foul. These calls just kill momentum.

Meanwhile westbrook can just fling himself into the first row every play and shoot FTs.. Durant can lean into you on a push shot and fall and get FTs. It was just blatantly biased for Thunder. You touch them it's a foul but they can ride the Spurs.

[Random_Guy]

yeah really, i watched the game too. it was just ridiculous. I mean we are talking about pro ball here, how is it possible for the free throws to be 22-0 in one quarter? its true that okc was more aggresive this game going into the paint, but this is just ridiculous,

[tgan3]

Spurs fan, now you have the taste of what happened to Clips in game 5 and 6.
Thunders fan will always say that its because you aren't aggressive enough that's why they have more free throws or that all their phantom fouls are valid and fair game...

Prepare to lose this series.

Are you that much of a simpleton? If that's as deep as you are willing to dig for analysis it either means you have an agenda or are just not that smart.

[icewill36]

the spurs were outplayed tonight period

there is no denying that. how come none of you said anything about the refs when it was lopsided for the spurs in the first half ?

[Natureland]

I'm downloading this game and gonna watch the third. It better be the most rigged game of the decade with the way you guys are talking about it. :mad:

it wasn't these guys are just all but hurt and obviously have never played a game of basketball in there lives ( hence the 10,000 + posts ) . Try defending durant or westbrook on the drive no one is going to defend that legally and if you do its probably a 10% chance. They also hacked adams and no one on the spurs drives to draw a foul period. Which IMO shows how good spurs are they just run plays and get ppl open, the team shot at sub 40% except for manu thats why they weren't closer.

Parker and Ginobili are as good as anyone at driving to the basket and drawing fouls.

But yeah, people need to stop crying every game. OKC played better, with more energy and more urgency and deserved the win. Still i Think the Spurs are the better team and will en up winning the series.

[KDthunderup]

Just re watched the 3rd again and I dont think Parker drived right into the paint once

[qrich]

This entire postseason has been rigged historically for the Thunder. Just sad how legit posters can't admit to their team having a huge officiating advantage for the entire payoffs.

No idea how someone can enjoy such a disgusting display. But then again what do you expect from hicks.

[toooo]

Gross. Just gross. That 3rd quarter was epically rigged. The f/t disparity was historical.

[bukowski81]

I wasnt talking about that specific game, was replying to the guy that said that the Spurs dont have anyone that atack the basket and rely on just finding the open shot.

Right. My bad.

OKC wins = only/mostly because of the refs. Never mind the string of bad calls in the first half that were in the Spurs favor and a big reason they were hanging around in the first place. It's only biased/rigged/bad officiating when it favors the Thunder and Heat.

[KG215]

Because it's only bad, biased, rigged, lopsided, etc. officiating when questionable calls are going in favor of the Thunder and Heat. That's it. Every other team in the league receives fair, objective officiating every game they play...except when they play the Heat and Thunder. Then they get unfair treatment and, any time they lose, it's thanks in large part to unbelievably biased officiating.

Dude, your team won due to the refs again.... WHATS ****IN NEW? WHY STILL MAKE EXCUSES AROUND IT?

[KG215]

20 point lead before garbage time = win because of the refs. Got it.

And where did I make excuses? I'm pointing out valid reasons as to why the number of FTA for teach team was lopsided because, as is the case with you and all the other blind, mouthbreathing dipshits that incessantly complain about any and everything Thunder related, there's absolutely no objectivity or common sense being displayed. As usual, it's blind, irrational, "maybe if I yell loud enough people will read my post and respect me" bullshit being posted after another OKC playoff win.

[catquickspider]

The sad thing is that when the Thunder face Miami they get zero respect. Miami is on another level when it comes to having the refs in their pockets :lol

[Natureland]

Just watched the quarter. Saw legitimately one call I completely disagreed with (Marco being called for a foul for denying KD the ball) and two that were iffy but could understand why they were called (KD getting undercut by Parker on a break and Ibaka getting fouled by Splitter on a jumper).

OKC was far more aggressive than SA and was looking to drive throughout the entire period and killed the Spurs on the offensive boards (there was one possession where KD and Adams alone got 4 offensive boards and once they got the offensive rebound off a missed FT by Adams).

So what the **** is wrong with you people? :biggums:

I usually am but the way these guys crashed the board and whined I thought KD was getting rip-through fouls at halfcourt and Russ was punching guys in the face on And 1's. OKC was just far more determined to get to the basket than SA.

No. The FOUL CALL was correct.. it's just that the shot should have counted. He tripped him.. but the shot was already released so according to my understanding of the rules is that the shot counts.

[SexSymbol]

The same thing happened in PAC-MIA G1, legitimate fouls. That's what happens when you go hard in the paint and other team is shooting jumpers.

I missed the 2nd half of the game due to catching X-men, so this is my first time seeing this play. That is terrible. The worst part is the timing of the call. It truly looks like he decided to call it when the basket went in.

If it was the thunder shooting it, I guarantee the refs would award the 4 point play.

[KobeClutchAsFK]

TBH, the only calls that really stood out to me as "rigging" was them waiving off the Mills 3, and then letting Adams ride Tim Duncan like a bull for no call, and then giving adams FTs with no contact on the other end.

All these came right as the spurs were about to take back the momentum.

This. He signaled a 3 and when it went in, he waved it off. :lol :lol :lol

[Sharmer]

I'm not sure if this game, proves the NBA is rigged, however, I do concede, that the NBA is corrupt. There is insurmountable evidence, to support such a notion. We know that the NBA, does not act on principle. We only need at the recent Sterling matter, to conclude, that the NBA at the very least, is very biased. They immediately joined in and are nothing by colluding to oust Sterling. Only a absurd, NBA constitution allows to do so.

[Myth]

Is there video of that waved off 3? I want to see more of Mills' reaction, and hear the commentary.

All these came right as the spurs were about to take back the momentum.actually, they let a foul on kd go on the other end after what should have been a loose ball foul on adams. The call on mills is baffling though. I guess i can see the foul, definitely a stretch, but it might have been. All i know is that 3 should have counted regardless.

[KG215]

The only bad part about the Mills call was them not still giving him the 3 points. The call itself is one that is made from time to time and should be made more often instead of always giving the offensive player three FTs. When the shooter kicks out his leg and draws contact with a defender, it's supposed to be an offensive foul. But given when the ref called the foul, the basket still should've counted.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. People just copy what the announcers say and it's wrong. The only arguable thing about that play is if it's a foul or not, and it was. Mills clearly stuck out his foot (not his normal shooting motion, watch videos of his on youtube) and tripped Durant.

Official rules quote below that I found last night.


Section VII—Offensive Fouls
a. A personal foul assessed against an offensive player which is neither punching or flagrant shall be penalized in the following manner:
(1) No points can be scored by the offensive team
(2) The offending player is charged with a personal
foul
(3) The offending team is not charged with a team foul

Notice how the only times he does it is when he has the opportunity to make contact with the defender and try to draw a foul? That's exactly what the Reggie Miller rule is there to stop.

This video is from this year and he never does it once.
