Another point no one has spoken about is the fact that LA's arm is in Durant's back the whole way.

Edit: on the goal tending play that is

Yep, could have very easily been called a foul and in all likelihood an And1 if LA doesnt go for the block/goaltend.

Durant was being hacked all night. On and off the ball. He just wasn't getting calls.

They simply played physical and I liked it a lot. The thunder must learn to adjust in rough plays and don't expect refs calls will help them out which often bring much controversy.

Normally I would agree with you but any time KD tried to retaliate the PDX players would flop resulting in an offensive foul. It was like KD was not allowed to play physically to get open.

Except the "physical play" wasn't allowed both ways. Which is way Aldridge went to the line 13 times, and Durant went once. It's why Durant himself piled up multiple offense fouls as the result of flops, yet didn't get calls when contacted going to the rim.

And it wasn't just Durant. I remember James Harden was on a break, hit the last man with a euro step, the man slid into him late, he missed the layup, and there was no call. Portland rebounds and heads the other way.

There was another instance where Ibaka grabbed an offensive board, and went back up strong for a dunk. The contact was so blatant I thought Portland was intentionally fouling him to put him on the line instead of giving him an easy two. No call of course. Missed dunk.

Portland shot 26 foul shots to OKC's 22.

OKC 27 fouls- Portland 17 fouls.

And i'd suggest our team drives a lot more than yours. Though you go through the post more....

One bad call...

Hmmm... one bad ball that decides a game, made from beyond the 3-point line on the opposite side of the court... one bad call...

Oh it's okay it's okay, I won't troll. Enjoy the "win".

I guess we will enjoy the win. Its unfortunate that the refs made the call, would have been interesting to see how it would have played out.

I can understand Portland fans being so pissed though. Having a mediocre team in the west who's on the outside looking in to the playoffs right now, would be a huge boost to that team to steal a win over a much better opponent.

the NBA has admitted it was a bad call:

it was a bad call. No doubt about it.

[neplife]

I've got a fun one, which call was worse:

1. Aldridge goal tending
2. UO v. OU onside kick

I guess Oklahoma got even last night.
