Discuss Thunder, Kevin Durant now that Lakers eliminated them in round 1

[Phong]

Gif the dozens of calls. The Lakers hoisted a ridiculous amount of 3s that series. In the close out game they shot 24 of them. Kobe settled for jumpers, and outside of Farmar none of the Lakers are dynamic driving to the rim.

So basically you have absolutely no clear recollection of the game and you just mention they're 3 points attempts? Every body who was watching and posting in the game thread can clearly remember those calls.

You said there were dozens of calls that you plan to call, I say gif them. There were only a couple of calls that were not made. The did not force feed Pau, and Andrew Bynum was out of it mentally. Even when they went with the huge lineup they did not impose their will in the paint. There was a big FT disparity in only two games. Otherwise the calls were even.

[Phong]

Too bad I don't have KCAL9 broadcast cause they had lots of replays including a close-up of the following one.

Here's Artest toying with Green, pumpfaking him, Green hitting Artest on the hip. No call.



More to come.

[Dasher]

That is a no call.

[Phong]

That is a no call.

Landing on the other player's hip as he's raising up to shoot is a no call? Like I said, the KCAL9 broadcast with the close up replay was clear as day.

They should tell that to the refs cause they were calling fouls each time Durant swept his arms around and catching Odom or Artest fingertips.


Here's Kobe called for a foul. The replay showed no contact at all:


Nice drive to the basket from aggressive Westbrook huh?

[Dasher]

If Green had really affected Artest, Ron would have sold it by flailing or hitting the deck. No harm, no foul.

Ever heard of and1 ?

And you think Odom touching Durant's butt with his pinky on a layup will affect Durant? So why give Durant the and1? If you call fouls one way you call them consistently on both side.

[Phong]

Sefolosha hitting Kobe on the elbow/forearm on a jumpshot - no call:


No harm no foul?


That already a 6 FT advantage for OKC just on 3 plays... More to come.

[Dasher]

Again no call. These are the plays you are b*tching about? If Kobe wanted the call he should have hit the deck like Russel did.

Oh so they're not fouls cause they still manage to score even though they were hit. But the Thunder were legitimate calls cause they weren't hit but they sold it?

Another flop, this time by Ibaka:



There's no point on continuing since fouls are only legitimate when they go the Thunder's way.

last game the okc made sure to fall to the floor after ever possession. i saw durant flop llike 3 times in the third quarter alone, drive to the basket miss shot and fall to the floor, luckily he didn't get some of the flop calls or else he wudda had 20-25 free throws. dudes the next manu gunobili wannabe.

Lakers fans are calling Nuggets fans babies for mention bad reffing...

I didn't really follow your serie against Utah, but from what I watched I agree if you tell me Carmelo was getting raped by the refs with all the offensive fouls.

Still, did the Jazz get 20+, 30+, 20+ free throw advantage each game they played at home? And did the Jazz, like the Thunder, shoot 30% all serie but were still in it because of those ridiculous FTs?

[ZenMaster]

That is a no call.

When you see the replay from the baseline you'll see it's clearly a foul.

Green jumps towards him and bumps his hip.

[icemanfan]

One decent 7 footer away from making one hell of a playoff run.

They were the 8th seed vs the defending champs. They made a hell of a run. Most of the Laker bandwagon fans still have their Kuntz significantly hurt by this and it shows in their posts. Instead of giving credit like the original, decent Laker fans would have done this bunch is still crying and bitching and throwing a fit worse than a 2 year old with out a bottle. True Laker fans every where must be horrified that the sorry bunch that camps here and uses their name even exist. I guess that is why guess like Aabs left.
