props to the thunder and to Stern's minions.....The Thunder and the Refs are now headed to the finals.
I want to personally thank Danny Green, Matt Bonner, and Gary Neal for going MIA in the conference finals.....thank you so very much.
I want to thank Parker and Duncan for forcing up tough shots in game 6, when Jax was wide open for 3.....happened at least 5 times.
I want to thank Pop for ignoring the fact that Blair plays very well against the Thunder, and hardly plays him. Neal, Green, and Bonner are struggling, bring in Blair and Mills. What can it hurt?
Normally I dont complain about the officiating, but I will now. The Thunder have been handed the Finals this year. The got the calls against the Mavs, the Lakers, and now the Spurs. It is pathetic to see a defender just look at Durant and get a foul called. Harden flops worse than Vlade Divac and gets the call every time. When will the refs finally call Ibaka for a goaltending, he does it 1-2 times a game. Ibaka and Collision commit moving screens all game long, no call.
I complain because the same calls the Thunder are getting, the refs turn away at the other end. It has happened all season and all playoffs.
I am a fan of Durant cause he is a Longhorn. However, I cannot stand that he is getting treated like a basketball God by the refs. MJ never got these calls. Hell, not even Kobe Bryant gets these calls. It is a shame how the league has doctored it so certain stars get biased treatment.
Well, the Thunder will win the Title. They will most likely play the Celtics. Even though the Celtics have 3 future HOFers, maybe 4, it doesn't matter. The Thunder will get the calls. They will shoot so many more free throws. They will flop all over the court, set tons of moving screens, goaltend, etc. The Celtics don't have a chance in Hell of beating the Thunder.
On the other hand, the Heat do.....because LeChoke and Wade do tend to get massive love from the refs. It would be interesting to see who would win....who would the referees ultimately side with. So far, it has been the Thunder. But if Miami makes it, we shall see.
