Nah Bakes, one or two bad calls here and there usually even out for both teams over a 7 game series.
There are other factors contributing to OKC's demise.
1.James 'need to cut yuh beard' Harden eh pulling he weight.
2. For all dey length, size and athleticism the team is getting beaten on de boards and lose balls.
3.Mental errors killing dem fellas bad. Case in point, in the last game coach call a timeout, draw up a play and dey eh even get a chance to run it cause on de inbound pass Sefolosha give de ball right back to de Heat. Ah next example was last night in the closing seconds they were down by three. There was a jump ball situation and de coaching staff told de entire team that if Miami win de tip dey go have only 5 secs on de shot clock. Westbrook get ah brain cramp and foul Chalmers with 1 second off de clock...
4.They were up by 17 in the first quarter and at the time even VanGundy said that he eh like how de team playing cause is one setta 1v1 ball. Heat went on ah 30-16 run and it was all she wrote.
"one or two bad calls"?? Have you been watching the series? Name me ONE Miami player that has been in foul trouble in this series. Lemmih get comfortable because I know it will take you a while. That aside, is WHO the foul trouble has been on as well... OKC needs Durant and Ibaka on the floor and thanks to the refs, it not happening. Okay, you say that OKC has been fouling more... perhaps, but there's no way you can convince me that a team that plays as physically as Miami does, is fouling more than OKC.
Last night Ibaka had, I think 4 fouls, and of those three was absolute bullshit. The first was on a challenge on a Wade shot. Wade released the ball, Ibaka blocked it THEN made contact with Wade... who fall to the floor like a breadfruit and a full second later the whistle blew for a foul. The next one, Bosh went after a loose ball and Ibaka tripped over him as Bosh dove to the floor. Ibaka tried his best not to land on him and they still called the foul on him. The third b.s. call was on a pick that Ibaka set on LeBron. For one thing he barely made contact with LeBron, for another, his sneaker must been half an inch on the white line... ref called him for setting a pick "out of bounds". Are you f**king kidding me?? This is the NBA Finals and that is the bullshit that getting called? Incidental contact on a loose ball and some marginal screen out of bounds call? Let's not even talk about the phantom foul on a Wade missed layup where Durant blocked the ball clean. The called the foul on Durant, then changed it to Westbrook, even though Westbrook didn't even make a play on Wade. Now let's try to list the bad fouls on Miami this series..... exactly.
Easy to say "they even out" but that's bullshit, for one thing it gets players in foul trouble to the point that they can't contribute to their team (see, Harden) and for another it sends the opposing team to the line, and gets the "fouling" team into the penalty early... aka free points. All of these games have been close games. With Durant on the floor in Game 3 Miami likely loses. Same with Ibaka to battle Bosh. Let's not even talk about the non-f**king foul on LeBron at the end of Game 2. Whenever yuh ready to weigh in on the bad calls against Miami feel free.
As for the "mental errors" only Westbrook's foul counts as a mental error. The coach didn't mention anything about the clock to them because there wasn't any timeout before the jump ball. Not only wasn't there a timeout but no one from the OKC bench said anything... so blame the bench for that.
Sefalosha was up against the 5 second count on that sideline inbounds play and Westbrook took a jab step to the sideline to receive the pass then fake out Sefalosha by coming to the top of the key. How is that a "mental error"?
The only legitimate thing you mention is the hustle points for rebounds and loose balls, and the bad shots. Those I will agree with.
