    So who gets fined on SA if they lose this game? Someone is going off on the refs, and they rightfully should.

    Jeebus Durant. That may be the biggest fail ever.

    Durant misses a shot Dame would've made. And no, conspiracy theorists, there will be no Game 7.

    Spurs coaches have a good long talk with Fisher... after having a good long talk with Mo... think they want a vet backup PG?

    Sprained his ankle in the second quarter. Was a godsend to OKC but they couldn't take advantage of it.

    They just lost 4-2 exactly like the Pacers did. Pacers lost to Miami, OKC lost to SA
    . How is OKC any more a contender than indy?

    Congrats to the Spurs! They rocked the west and I hope they take the title. Now with all that being said, I really want free agents Mills and Diaw on the Portland bench next season. Any team with 50+ wins in the regular season that gets out of the first round in the playoffs is what I call a contender and deserves respect. The west is a beast to win

    Better Conference, Better competition. They had to fight more to get there. Pacers sleptwalk through 2 series. It's really simple. But, it's my opinion, and you have yours.

    Nope

    Lillard shot 17% from 3 vs the Spurs

    Checkmate

    Learn the Game, then post

    Yep. Thinking he meant the Dame from the Houston series.

    Learn the semantics, then post.

    How many chances were given to the Thunder this playoffs to win games? Two 4 point plays just to get out of the 1st round and now a blown goal-tending call to send the game into overtime (sounds familiar). Go away Thunder, stop having the media and league win games for you. Maybe now people will see what a joke Brooks is as a coach (when was the last time you saw him stand up during a game), maybe people will finally notice that when KD misses a shot, it is not because he was fouled ( but because he actually misses shots sometimes).

    I'm glad to see a team who is all class make it to the finals.

    It wasn't a bang bang call. Everybody in the arena saw it was goaltending.

    Durant falling literally on his ass down 1 point was the funniest fucking thing I've seen in the playoffs in a long time, too.

    That was pretty funny. I think he tripped on a big sweat spot but it makes no difference. Killer Durant the MVP the supposed stone cold killer coughed it up when he had a chance to send his team to the finals

    Possible goal tends are only reviewable if the whistle was blown. So, do what they do with 'possible' flagrants: err on the side of making the initial call then review it. If it's close to a goal tend, call it and review it. That ball hit the backboard before it was "blocked". Sound familiar? If OKC had won thanks to that play, I was waiting for another "tough shit". Thankfully, the league got baled out by Durant and Westbrook chokes.

    Go Spurs.

    cool story. The refs and the league had plenty of opportunities to help you along with your theory that they OBVIOUSLY wanted it to go 7, and it didn't happen. GO figure. Stupid conspiracies.
