Don't think I've forgotten the Board 8 Challenge.

Me and Chris picked the Heat.

Everyone else picked the Thunder.

You guys should make referee calls and blow us.

I said Heat in five at the start of the season.

Series should have been 2-0 Thunder going to Miami, but refs blew a call at the end of that game.

Heat really have had the benefit of the refs all series long, but please rejoice in the fact that Miami more than likely won the championship and LeBron finally got a ring.

Hell I don't even actually care who wins, but geez.

I had Heat in 6 because of this exact situation.

Thunder win game 1 because Heat are exhausted. Heat storm back and steal game 2 and then win the first 2 at home. Thunder win game 5 out of desperation and then lose Game 6.

But Game 4 was their desperate game. They ran out to a massive lead and looked like they were gonna put it away. And then Lebron happened.

This happened with Jordan in 91. He realized "Oh my God...I'm way better than the 2nd best guy. This is easy."

I actually disagree with that. Game 1 the refs favored OKC, I remember noting it down. That foul was a bad no call but Durant has not been great from the FT line this series by his lofty standards.

Granted I'm not saying the refs are the main reason the Thunder are losing this series.

James Harden disappearing the last 2 games, both very winnable, has ruined their chances.

****ing Beard.

A lot of people picked the Heat in that topic

A couple even picked Heat in 5!

Just most of the Heat pickers were rooting for the Thunder

Looking at the archives, it was

heat - 13

but at this point i don't care too much

Je suis toujours serieux. D'autrefois, personne ne me penserait serieusement.

The second people talk about the refs I immediately tune them out.

Grow up. Stop being Sportscenter fans. Stop blaming refs. Bad calls happen on all sides. They always even out.

If you lose, you lose. Period.

I hate how the media has written the Thunder off despite losing three games by like 6 points

The Thunder shouldn't blame the refs for losing this series, and yes blame themselves.

The refs haven't been good though, and only Heat fans think the calls have come out evenly this series

It is true bad calls will even out throughout your life, it can go against you a series though (of course there are potentially 3 games for the refs to swing the Thunder way!)

Classic Realo.

I'm right, you're wrong. Stop *****ing.

All we're missing is the hyperbole.

Crasty, I like you, I do, but you're a terrible discussionist which is why I never do it. It's easier just being blunt and getting to the fun stuff.

Anyone who still blames, or ever blamed referees on their teams loss are people that just can't accept that the team they wanted to win didn't. There are a few examples of refs winning a game for a team on purpose. My Lakers were beneficiaries of it. It was OBVIOUS. I repeat, when a referee is cheating for you it is OBVIOUS.

The referees in this series have made good calls and bad ones like all referees do. I refuse to let alone take away from what has been the best Finals in years.

what's up with these late calls

if I hadn't seen the rest of the series, I'd say the refs want OKC to win

Realo you're talking to someone who was a Kings fan from 1999-2005.

I'm sure you know what happened during that time period.

I'm positive he was.

My point is that having witnessed that, claiming referee bias is warranted.

That's why the NBA needs FIBA refs. They don't put up with ****.

You know how great and terrible it would be if refs called every lane violation and T'd every coach who walked on the court during a play would be, just for 1 game?

I wonder, would Heat and Thunder fans be ok switching coaches?

--

Seriously

Heat role players are dominating the Thunder's, I would not have predicted that before the series

No one would trade their coach for Brooks, except maybe the Clippers

And even then, its pretty much a toss up

Hey just sayin' during the Pacer and Celtics series, lots of reactionary fire spo Doc's coaching circles round him.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

Yeah, I've been really impressed by the non-Big 3 Heat players. They've pretty consistently had some people step up every game, and they needed it. The most impressive part is that it isn't the same people every night.

For example, Thunder have no idea how to play defense on open 3 point shooters

every game, Miami has this silly 3 minute run when they rain 3s like crazy

OKC can't match that this series, and that's the difference in this series
