What I don't understand is how the ref on the baseline can miss that call. It was a clear view and a blatant foul.
Yes he did but Fisher bodychecked Wade on that steal at halfcourt to give Durant the 3. Could not believe that wasn't called. It was shoulder to shoulder and the ball flew from wade's hand. Poor officiating across the board.
What a joke of a no call with a ref standing 2 feet away while there were several phantom foul calls for Lebron that were usually called by the ref who was furthest away from the play with the worst view.
Regardless, you're not going to get a foul on a jumpshot at a situation like that. But man, Miami. Some bone-headed plays. They should have won this game fairly comfortably. And man, KD was like 10 for 12 in the 2nd half. Jesus. This team is way too tough at home.
Yeah that bodycheck fisher laid on Wade to get that steal and that bogus blocking call on Battier which should have fouled Durant out was some BS. I agree.
I'm here laughing as Miami wins and all your paranoia, that has been going on for several years now, is all for squat. Newsflash: God is not out to get you. He doesn't favor the teams you root against. He doesn't have a vendetta against your team. Every team you root for is not going to win the championship. And when they don't, it's not because of bad luck, karma, because the basketball gods want to keep you miserable. If anything, they smiled a whole hell of a lot on Shane Battier tonight. But, you are who you are, so we will continue to get this extremely myopic point of view in which the officials, David Stern, and the basketball gods are all out to get your teams. In which every thing bad that can possibly happen will happen to whichever team you happen to be rooting for. Because you relish the misery. (end)
Durant shouldn't have even been in the game at this point. Battier drew an offensive foul which was a bad call.
Miami clearly deserved this one. Plenty of opportunities for OKC here and there especially with that 5 pt swing. But that quick fadeaway by Durant isn't exactly the best shot to take with 12 seconds remaining.
missed charge on durant, where he wouldve fouled out... vs missed foul on lebron. whatever the refs are calling, i cant tell if theyre consistent or incompetent.
