Funny how ESPN doesn't show the Durant charge

Watched the highlights twice, and not one of them show the Durant charge which was called a block on Battier.

Was it even brought up by Wilbon and the gang?

16 4th Q points = Impressive
Playing with your 6th foul AND having the media sweep it under the rug = Priceless

^I don't even dislike Westbrook, and I think he's cocky as ****...or Harden, just his flops. It's difficult for me to just flat out "dislike" any player. I respect the game, and that's it.

Now as a team...that's another story, and right now I just don't like OKC. :lol:

Phantom as ****.

There is no reason to dislike Durant, but I do not like how they officiate him. With him being as good as he is offensively the refs have to let the defensive players crowd him and body him up, but any time you get near him you know it is a foul. I think a lot of that has to do with his lack of strength. He gets moved and pushed around very easily so everything looks like a foul, where as Lebron can take a ton of contact and not look like he was fouled.

Them calling that 3rd foul on LeBron in the 3rd changed the game. LeBron was doing a tremendous job on Durant. The foul made Battier switch to him. Durant made a few shots and gained confidence..by the time LeBron went back on him....it was too late. He was in too good a rhythm. If the refs let LeBron body Durant up (send some traps as well) the Heat can take this series.

I'm not mad at the refs for not calling that clear charge, they redeemed themselves by not calling LeBron's foul in the last seconds. Seams fair.

Nothing fair about when comparing Durant charge to Lebron final play foul.
One foul would have Durant out of the game for good. No chance at a play in the final minute
The other foul..well moot point since Durant should have been out of the game.

Of course ESPN and its bunch of anti- Heat anal-yst crew will quickly erase such play from their short and selective memory bank.

Funny should be Phony, especially when the tv analyst is calling the game while watching a blatant incorrect play or call not go in favor of the Heat, as they continue with the play calling trying to convince us nothing wrong just happened. Now, that's an "in your face pie funny" phony ****... IMO.

That's actually a pretty borderline call. I'd like to see that consistently called a blocking foul. Nothing to do with it being KD or OKC or Miami or anything like that, just from a basketball perspective I don't think that should be an offensive foul. THere's too much "jumping underneath" a guy involved with that move defensively, in my opinion, and he's still slightly shifting his upper body over at impact. In general, I just believe it's too easy to draw a charge in the NBA, and that goes for anyone. There's probably a handful of videos of Nick Collison doing the same exact thing, and I'd hold the same opinion if it were him.
