    People need to remember though that prior to those terrible calls KD was on fire and brought us within 2. He played horribly the entire game but came up big when it was needed.

    The Reggie Jackson play was weird. What pisses me off though, was that KD and Westbrook (both who are superior slashers) we wide open cutting to the paint, but Reggie insisted on being the hero and taking it up against the taller defender in Matt Barnes. On the replays that we can access it definitely looked like it was off Reggie, but at the same time Barnes fouled him as well. Should've been Clipper ball but if OKC lost that game people would be talking about the no-call on Reggie.

    The Westbrook 3 was a foul, even CP3 admitted it was a foul. The problem with that was, that's almost never called during the last seconds of a game. There are plenty of other examples of when that's not called, but you see people arguing about what would happen if that foul was called. For example…




    Refs finally call that and people are pissed for them for making the right call.

    It doesn't help that it was a HORRIBLE shot by Westbrook, but at the same time CP3 shouldn't have fouled/contested on such a terrible shot.

    Also, while CP3 was fouled by Reggie during the last play of the game, your team is down 1 and you don't even attempt to get a shot off or try to get contact. It looked almost exactly like that one James Harden play vs. the Trailblazers in the 1st round lol.

    tl;dr the refs bailed us out but LA (mainly just CP3) choked as well.
    Well if CP admitted the foul, that's one thing, the 2 other calls remain lol. If you're up by 2 with 17 seconds left, why the shit would you inbound the ball with multiple timeouts left, not substitute for your best free throw shooters & draw up a play is what I wanna know

    Their not my team anyway, my teams Orlando, I just like the Clips bcus I've got a soft spot for JJ Reddick (formerly from Orlando) & they're the most entertaining to watch.

    Believe me if it was an Orlando game (ha fat chance) I'd be on the channel 9 news in an orange jump suit

      Sorry for triple posting lol but apparently the Tony Brothers officiated the OKC/LAC game

      For those who don't know they were the same guys who officiated the LAL/SAC 2002 game (the infamous "rigged" game)
      Does video exist of the officiating calls of that game?

              Things like this still make me believe the league is still rigging games.

                Okay so I got correct:
                Heat over Nets, Spurs over Blazers, Thunder over Clippers

                Got wrong:
                Wizards over Pacers

                3 out of 4. Not bad. Now, conference finals.....

                Heat over Pacers
                Spurs over Thunder

                Easy choice for the East. West, not so much. If Thunder win the West, wouldn't be surprised. Either way, it's going to be a 2012 Finals Rematch or 2013 Finals Rematch. Pacers don't have a prayer regardless that they have home court.

                  Imma be bold lol

                  OKC in 7: I think this Spurs team is a lot deeper than they were in 2012. Kawhi and Danny Green especially have taken their games to a new plateau (especially Kawhi). However, KD and Westbrook are better players than they were in 2012 as well. No Harden, but Reggie Jackson has statistically played well against the Spurs in the regular season. If the Spurs want to win this series, they need to seal the deal in 4-5 games. No way they'll be able to run with the Thunder in 6 or 7 even with HCA. Biggest factors are gonna be if Ibaka and Tony Parker are healthy.

                  MIA in 7: People aren't giving the Pacers any credit (rightfully so lol) but let's be honest here: They love to play against Miami. Other than their last encounter in the regular season, they've been able to go tick for tack against the Heat. In the playoffs they have had moments where everyone has mentally checked out (e.g. Hibbert), but I think playing against the Heat will awaken that competitive drive they've been missing all post-season. Another interesting stat though: Their record on the road is better than their home record. Perhaps all that effort to get the #1 seed was for nothing haha.

                  Either way I wanna see OKC vs. IND or MIA vs. SAS because, let's face it. Miami would wax the floor with OKC again and San Antonio would do the same to the Pacers.

                  EDIT: looks like my predictions for last round were near perfect lol. Maybe I'll have luck in this round too

                  Heat in 5
                  Pacers in 6
                  Spurs in 5
                  OKC in 7 (won in 6)

                      Now that sucks. Let's see if the MVP can overcome that big of a hit to his team. It's going to take everything the Thunder got, the Spurs aren't fucking around. They want a chance at redemption against the Heat in the finals.

                          lol Spurs are trashing us

                          Series is as good as done in my eyes.

                            Still feel the same way?

                            Bring on 7 games!

                            On the other side, the Pacers are pathetic. Complaining about refs yet they have more free throws overall in the series. Hilarious. Paul George & David West weren't talking that shit when there was a bigger FT discrepancy in Game 1 in their favor. Put all the blame on anything but themselves. That's why they won't get over the hump. They constantly refer to themselves as the Heat's little brother. Well big bro's about to beat that ass for the 3rd year in a row.

                              lol I didn't expect Serge to return so soon.

                              Kinda funny that people felt that he wouldn't be that much of a difference in the series haha. Scott Brooks made a great move too benching Thabo and putting in Reggie/Lamb. If OKC does make the finals, I wonder if Brooks will play Thabo again to guard Lebron (I hope not… Perry Jones did a good job last when they met in January). Series is a lot more interesting now. We'll see if the Spurs can endure.

                              Pacers are imploding. They've been imploding since the second half of the season and it's just jarring to see that they've lost so much focus. I don't even get how Hibbert has had scoreless games lol dude is 7 feet. All this talk about home court advantage and they manage to lose when Miami was playing at their absolute worst lmao.

                              I'm hoping they can push it to 7 games though. I need OKC to get rest if they advance

                                Correction: He's 7 feet, 2 inches. This guy has another 2 inches on top of 7 feet! Lol

                                No excuse for the scoreless games or the very low rebound games. Pathetic. Kwame Brown Jr..
