    Not really. He is a dumbass but that was the right call.

    Memphis has difficulty scoring. Why send them to the line and give them 2 free points?

    They got the ball with 2.9 secs which is plenty of time to draw out a good play BUT...

    OKC runs only ISOs and Durant as good as he maybe lives and dies with his jumpshots.

    Memphis will live with that shot.

    Yea, that was really uncalled for. Wait till the FT is over and then do your usual act.

    Oh I don't know. To lengthen the game? Give yourself more than 3 seconds to try to tie the game? 90% of coaches would've fouled.

    Wow what a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat... looks like they got it right, but that interuption to KDs flow on the second FT attempt was a bit suspect. Stupid shot by KD at the end but he makes that shot more often than not. That has got to be gut wrenching for OKC to end like that.

    Iced Durant at the FT line when he was shooting 1 to tie the game.

    I don't get what people are getting upset about Crawford.

    Sure his actions were over the top but making sure the correct foul count is up for the players to see is a huge play on his part.

    OKC could look up and see they have a foul to give and foul - when in reality they don't. OR visa versa Memphis.

    Good effort Joey. Tone it down though.

    Memphis goes full "Rocket's Mode:" they blow a twenty point lead---check, Mike Conley does a Lin to force overtime---check, BUT they get a referee assist from Crawford for the win!

    I wish someone would just tell Crawford to STFU and do his job. Jesus.

    Bulls upsetted, OKC probably to be upsetted, Rockets and Pacers likely to be as well. INSANE first round, 3 of the top 6 teams in the nba, most likely OUT in the first round, how crazy would that be.

    How much is Durant struggling in this series? And we crucify Harden and Durant is the MVP in this league. Durant really struggles with in your face defense and big men in the middle.
