League/Refs coddling 2014 Thunder in playoffs

[airchibundo507]

Randolph suspended for Game 7 in Round 1. What Randolph did was stupid.. but ask yourself, if Durant had done the same, would he have been suspended?

Atrocious reffing in Game 5 versus the Clippers that allowed the Thunder to steal that game as well as the series. The ball goes out on Reggie Jackson and yet the Thunder retain the ball. Westbrook bailed out on the dumbest hero shot one could ever imagine to give the Thunder a late lead. Paul hacked on the other end and intentionally fouls, refs swallow whistles both times.

Game 3 versus Spurs. The Spurs had ZERO free throws in the second half until three minutes left, when the refs called foul after foul on the Thunder to add 8 free throws to the Spurs' total and make the free throw margin less disparate. At one point in the second half the Thunder had 26 straight free throws.

Anti-conspiracy posters can refute this all they want, but the Thunder have consistently gotten the better end of questionable calls no matter when they play. They could have easily lost in every single round. But it's for the league's best interest that the Thunder advance, so questionable calls go in the Thunder's favor.

(CP3 fouls Westbrook on three pointer in Game 5)

That's not even a 50/50 call in my book; there is basically no contact. You don't make that call with 5 seconds left in a playoff game when it determines the outcome.

This basket would have cut the Thunder lead to 6. But refs atrociously take away a basket from marginal contact, tampers with the Spurs' momentum, and BOOM the Thunder takes the lead to 12 in the fourth, game over.

Losers always blame officiating, so nothing new here.

Is the foul on the jumpshooter? god thats ****ed, most jumpshots end up that way with their legs extended, just another excuse for these guys I guess.

I also like how the ref waits to see if the basket goes in or not before making the call

It was one of those fouls that refs will call after a result. Are you telling me the ref never called a foul after a shot was missed? Refs do that all the time. If someone gets fouled on a drive with minimal contact and he makes the shot they let it go, if he misses they call the foul. In this case, if he missed the shot they let it go, but he made it so a foul had to be called. You can't trip people, so please remove your tinfoil hat.

That ref need to be fired. I'm not really a Spurs fan, just a longtime Duncan fan. I can clearly see that the ref waited to see if the basket was in before calling it off. League needs to look into this shit

:applause: Yep the refs waits for the ball to go through the hoop and then decides to call an offensive foul

:applause: refs

[MontaHardaway]

To be fair Mills does stick his leg out very unnaturally to trip KD. I wouldn't compare it to the horrible Clipper Westbrook call

[GODbe]

the calls were legit.

:biggums:

Seriously, how pathetic is that? The ref didn't even notice the Durant flop. He just waited until it went in and waived it off. Disgusting.

hahaha He waited for the ball to go in before calling ''the foul''. Cant get more obvious than that.
OKC getting bail out calls on the defensive end also.

[paytonfan]

OK, I'm a big OKC fan and wow that is a horrible call!!!!

What irks me is that it's just another easy dig at my team for being babied when in actual fact our guys play their tails off.
