The NBA . . . . . gone and forgotten

[OILFAN #81]

Heat win game 2. Series tied 1-1. Games 3-5 are all in Miami. Should be a good series.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Another banner night for NBA officiating. LeBron is on pace to shoot an absolutely rigged sounding 70 free throw attempts in this series, assuming it goes 7.

Pathetic NBA officiating on full display again tonight. Good god help us if that was LeChoke on the receiving at the end there would have been a fouled called.

OKC didn't lose because of officiating. They need to play from the start and not try and catch up all the time.

[Senator Clay Davis]

OKC only have themselves to blame, no doubt. Officiating was still beyond bad once again. How hard is it to get consistency in the calls?

If they call that foul with 30 seconds left we likely have a tie game. Sure they played like crap in the first quarter, but they probably win in OT if that call was made.

It's too bad everything is now potentially sterned (rigged) and can be called into question.

Miami still would have had the ball to win the game at the end so it could have just as likely ended before going to OT. And Durant missed 2 of 6 FT's tonight. Not a guarantee he would have made both. A foul could have been called but OKC didn't lose because of that.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Miami's MVP so far = Shane Battier.

[OILFAN #81]

Interested to see how the next 3 games in Miami go. I think each team will win 1..........whoever wins that 2nd game and goes back to OKC up 3-2 will win the series.

[Hockey]

Durant should have been called for his 6th foul earlier when they called the blocking foul on Battier.

I'm a LBJ fan but I have to say the fix is in after watching game 2. No way the NBA is going to let a small market team like OKC win. And after Kobe going down hill, they need a new icon which is LBJ.

Ya because selling Durant as the Lebron foil
would be such a tough sell.

Pivotal game three in about 10 mins. Looking for some competitive basketball hopefully, I'm not strongly for or against either team.

Another bang on job by the NBA officials tonight so far....

[Senator Clay Davis]

I haven't been watching since I was watching legitimate competition with the US Open. Glad to see the sports entertainment is still exactly that.

[killer_carlson]

If I wanted to watch wade and lebron shoot free throws, I'd go watch a heat practice.

This is nuts

[Senator Clay Davis]

The only way this isn't going 7 is if Miami wins in it 5 or 6. Stern can see it now, 30 maybe 40 million people to watch it.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well, they let them play there in the first quarter, only 6 total fouls, and naturally the Heat are getting whooped. Hopefully they keep letting them play.

[Drake]

Man, James Harden has been killing his team tonight.

[flames_1987]

The Thunder really showing their age tonight and this series. If this team was just a bit sharper they could be ready to go up 3-1
