BUT, as long as it is like that, Im all for getting to the FT line as much as we can.
Durant and Westbrook both do a great job of getting to the line and overall, its no accident that the Thunder shoot the most or second most FTs in the league, they DO get fouled alot.
Of course there are bad calls in every game, sometimes its in a game-deciding moment (like last year's Durant shot against the Jazz, remember?), but I dont think there is anything to blame on the refs this time. The Thunder simply went to the line more times, because the got fouled more in the act of shooting, that simple.
You know, I give the "it's not our fault the game is called this way" and the "we take advantage of it" because it's true and props for it.
But, my beef with the officiating is that it WASN'T FAIR. There were countless times Al, AK and Millsap drove the paint, got the same contact you got and no whistle but any time a Thunder player got a whiff, FOUL!!! (The DWIll foul on Westbrook was just smh) You have to at least acknoledge that. We know it's not your fault and you can't do anything about it, and in the end, it's a W for you and a L for us but at least understand why we feel like we got shafted but the refs on OUR HOME FLOOR!!
every single jazz fan that has come on here has said something about officiating.
