I've seen Melo get TECHS for less.

melo gets technical fouls for giving the referee the ball.

So it's all fair game. OKC was flopping around all damn game, Breen and JVG continuously called them out on their flopping (in before someone links me the double flop

), and the referees apparently were swallowing the whistle because of all their flopping.
You continue to flop and the referees won't give you respect. End of story.
This Durant should have been fouled out to begin with. Lebron definitely got away with some fouls but Durant was still in the game.

The Thunder just need to come out with a lot more energy in game 3 and make an effort to stop Battier from getting so open. He's been killing them early. If they can do this they win game 3.

Why not? They have lost 2 both Boston and Indiana at home already. Thunder win at least one if not two in Miami. This team is not losing 4 in a row. No way.

The same was said about the Spurs.
If the thunder don't address these slow starts, I wouldn't be surprised if they did lose all three, but that's very hard on the home team to win all three.

But the Heat get calls on 'fouls' the refs can't see all the time.
I realize they're not about to call a foul at that point in the game anyway.
I'm more annoyed at how Bron lowers his shoulder every time he goes to the hole and gets away with it.
The Knicks board is like a group of pre-teen Twilight fans. -Waya

Sure the Spurs lost 4 in a row, but it was to these Thunder wasn't it? I have seen nothing from Miami in these playoffs to think they will win the next 3 games. If Brooks makes some adjustments, such as drastically reducing Perkins minutes (What does this guy do at all?) the Thunder will be fine.

Lebron gave Durant a lane to go left baseline and all he can come up with is a fadeaway jumpshot? If that were Lebron it would've been a layup. Either that or he would've passed it to Haslem or someone

My earliest memory as a Knick fan?
In middle school, being pissed off when they small screened the Knick-Rocket NBA final game for the stupid O.J. chase. Still SMDH.

We didn't see anything from the Spurs to suggest they would lose like they did either, especially losing a game at home, and the Thunder just did that.
Brooks need to find out why they can't score early in games, and why their defense has looked like garbage in two straight first quarters, and it's very overdue for him to figure it out.
Perkins btw does boardwork, and should stick to that part, and his minutes are already limited in second halves.
Brooks needs to get in Westbrook's tail for his decision making when he gets in the paint.
He doesn't have to attempt every shot when he drives, it's ok to kick out sometimes too.
Just show him some CP3 and Tony Parker tapes.
And Durant needs to play smarter defensively, the kid can do it, and he needs to, otherwise this could end very quickly.

Durant should have fouled out on that charge via Battier.
Still an amazing CLUTCH player.
LeBron doesnt need to play PG late in games. It makes him passive.

Not mad about the call, it was a tough call to make at most angles and you don't want the refs to choose the winner. Also the play was so unexpected that I bet the refs were caught off guard expecting time to come off the clock. I still have Thunder in 6. OKC gets games 3, 5 and 6
There is no asterisk on ANY N.B.A. titles.
Numbers don't lie, people who use them do
