I never noticed how bad the refs cheated OKC in 2012

Good lord

We all know about the tragedy that happened in game 2 with LeBron fouling Durant and getting away with it...but

Game 3
OKC is down 1 at halftime
-OKC comes out on fire in the 2nd half and opens up a lead midway through the 3rd quarter.
-Kevin Durant is called for a phantom 4th foul and has to leave the game
-With the score 65-56 OKC, Miami goes on a 10-2 run in less than 2 minutes with 8 of those points coming at the FT line.
-OKC takes the lead with 7:32 left in the game at 77-76, Miami finishes the game on a 15-8 run with 9 of those points coming at the FT line.

OKC was outscored at the line 15-31 for the whole game and 10-22 in the 2nd half

Game 4
OKC is up 3 at halftime
-Miami goes on a 31-21 run to start the 3rd quarter keyed by 11 points at the FT line vs a grand total of 2 for OKC
-Miami doubles OKC 20-10 in FTA in the 2nd half

If this series is called fairly, it's probably over in 4 games for OKC

Honestly, your team shouldn't have even been in the Finals that year.

Lets not count out how much help OKC had gotten from the REFS

They had to get bran a ring somehow

[gilalizard]

Yeah it was pretty shameless. As soon as OKC threatened to get out ahead, the refs would kneecap them.

The league knew it had to step in and make sure its media star "won" his first ring. LeFlop and Miami would of fallen to pieces if they lost in the Finals for the second year in a row.

League wanted Bron to have that beloved ring already. If he failed yet again, it would do hella damage for the league and the proclaimed "face of the NBA". Everybody knew this.
