Sorry. I forgot we're the only team in the NBA that fouls. My bad Jim Carrey

my unbiased opinion. Thunder were looking to rough it up. Before the scuffle Perkins elbowed Dirk and set 2 illegal screens on Marion. Once Dirk stood up for himself refs said time to call it tight. Of course that always benefits okc that's their style

I agree with Chuck and Jet, OKC have a weak frontcourt and rely too much on jumpshots when the game is slowed and down the stretch. That's why I can't imagine them reaching the Finals unless Durant, Westbrook & Harden are really really REALLY inspired.

OKC reporter, "can you be specific on what call was bull ****?"

Carlisle, "uhhhmm. Yeah. Next question."

Your right, the Miami heat have an awesome front court. It has to be comforting for miami to know that when defense is tight and they need an easy bucket, that they can dump the ball to Joel Anthony.

He didn't wanna talk about Dirk's continuation call from the FT line.

the thunder can really make it easy for themselves if they would go to the hoop more...especially westbrook...his speed is so much superior to anyone else, yet the guy loves the jumper...same for KD, his stride can get him to the rim so quickly, but settles for too many jumpers.

Watching two teams chuck up 18 footers for 48 mins was tough. How did OKC win so many games playing this way? Westbrook has the bball iq of a potted plant.

Westbrook goes to the basket, gets beat up, busted in the lip / eye and never gets a call. I understand why he shoots so much.

Shaun Marion is pissed :lol:

Good guy NBATV guy defending OKC saying that OKC was actually called for more fouls than Dallas

Can we make a rule that KD and Westbrook can no longer wear them goofy ass glasses and nipple tight shirts? LOL.

Heat have Bosh and their best players don't settle for jumpers

^Lol, Bosh is the ultimate jump shooter.

JimboSlice · Post #1218 » by **JimboSlice** » Tue May 1, 2012 5:18 am

I'm really not seeing how Dallas is complaining about not getting calls.

There's a correlation between free-throw attempts and points in the paint. OKC was 10th in points in the paint and 2nd in free throw attempts. Dallas 25th in points in the paint and 26th in free throw attempts.

Can you really expect to not shoot less free throws than a team when you're getting less shot attempts at the rim?

And all this talk about a jumpshooting team... Dallas was frikkin 25th in points in the paint! Why has this not been brought up?

When did I cite the Heat? Where? I think you misunderstood me because I've always said that the Heat face little competition in the East and make it to the Finals less "prepared" (Western teams are more prepared for all kind of situations); that their frontcourt is weak as well; and that in close games down the stretch they also become a jumpshooting team and don't know who's the go to guy, hence me criticizing LeBron for not posting up to buy easy buckets.

Kenny was talking about rock bands like he knew his stuff and mentioned Pink Floyd. Said "Off the Wall" when the song is titled "Anther Brick In The Wall."

Who wins this series and in how many?
