    How I feel this entire series.
    Kevin Durant gets foul calls for getting breathed on.

    The Durant calls weren't as maddening as the flop calls. I get that they'll give the stars the benefit of the doubt. But Fisher and Martin, these two notorious floppers with multiple flops and they still fell for it.

    The one that got Harden his 5th foul totally changed the momentum and almost cost us the game.

    Same could be said for both squads. I've counted numerous times our players fouled OKC players going to the rim, but no calls.

    Well, that's because they can't gift OKC 50 free throws a game without raising suspicion. Gotta let some of them go so you can leave enough fouls to give Durant 20 free throws a game.

    that rip through bull **** isn't even drives to the basket. Harden and westbrook drive to the basket, Durant just shoves his hand against someone's face. The funny thing is he is WAY TOO good to even need that.

    this was bad, but the offensive foul on parsons late in the game where he drove to the basket was the WORST call in that game. There was absolutely no contact and could have cost us the game.

    Its funny how the calls were so bad we can't even agree with which one was the worst.

    My worst call was the fisher flop it was blatant.

    I am glad you mentioned the parsons foul ****ing ESPN wouldn't replay it but I heard they called a charge...nobody fell down though?!?!

    agree. durant even admits in SI he recently learned this trick to draw fouls. some moves have that legit feel but this one has that con feel to it much like flopping, not befitting a top 2 player.

    in that play, Parsons had both hands up, and his stomach pried the ball loose. dont know what the ref saw.

    I hope someone on here has the time to get that play because that baffled me and almost cost us the game. The zebras and their whistles are a joke.

    Hope fisher gets fined for flopping and maybe even warned about a suspension. his flop was so clear. no flop should change the outcome of the game and it caused harden to sit down.

    such bs.

    The flop was awful, awful, awful.

    The Durant play was one where he's going to get that call. The TV view was excellent and showed no contact, but unless the ref has a similar view that call is going for the star every time. It is what it is. Harden got a lot of calls in the lane early in the year where there was minimal contact. "I don't know" going the way of the star is part of the league and has been for years.

    No warning in the playoffs. I hope they fine his ass but I have a feeling they won't.
