Got to say, this is 100% true, except for Green's 6th foul (no call) that caused WB to dribble off his foot (initially called OKC ball, changed to GSW ball). Like, what kind of review is that? Gahh the NBA just upsets you with their half measures. There was another, nearly the same situation, but under the basket, at ~ the 3:30 mark (which also would have fouled out Green I think) but the Refs called it OKC ball (it wasn't) because the swat by Green clearly caused the out of bounds. | ||

Seeing a foul in a replay and not being able to call it is dumb. | ||

Adams should get called way more than he does when crashing the O boards. Thats not my complaint. My complaint is that refs (at least seem) to me to not call fouls on iffy plays, if they can legit give the other team the ball on an out of bounds. So they do that A LOT late in games. Then they review it, and the reason the ball goes out is obviously a foul but the fouler gets the ball on review because only one of two (both obvious on review) things is review-able. But, yes OKC deserve to lose, these things just make me discombobulated. | ||

Dudes will be flailing every play and it'll take an hour to finish. | ||

But idk how it changes things to call a foul if refs see it during a review they are already doing. In fact, the super slow motion out of bounds views are more iffy that the random fouls I see. | ||

I'll be fine either way, the Finals will be great. Edit: Durant was chucking hard too. Westbrook is generally a huge chucker but I really thought KD was more level-headed. I think he was trying to take over and... couldn't. You ain't Kobe babyyyy. | ||

The only efficient stuff I see from him is when he gets to catch&shoot, he's still deadly doing that. Oh and don't get me started on the random transition threes he takes. It works like 1 out of 5 times | ||

But for all the Kobe lovers in this thread don't act like he's never done the EXACT same thing. Durant has a better fg% and PPG than Kobe in the postseason. It's easy to remember all Bryant's makes but his ball-hogging late in games reminds me of what the OKC stars are doing in the last two. If you combine Kobe's 4th quarters from the '09 and '10 finals he's actually under 30% shooting (22-74). He did take over games, just usually not in a good way. | ||

I'm not Kobe lover, that's for sure.I am just surprised how Durant has been playing last two games. I just really hoped that OKC can get to finals. But now I doubt this will happen. And I am really sore from game 6. The way OKC (i.e., Durant and Westbrook) was playing, especially the 4th quarter was really frustrating... | ||

Durant was outstanding the first time they made the finals, while Westbrook and Harden both shat the bed. We've seen Kobe have worse series/playoffs than Durant has this year. By every measure, Kobe's 03-04 campaign was worse than Durant's 15-16 and his finals were notoriously bad. Sure, Kobe was great the years prior but again Durant was great in the finals too. If the Thunder had faced teams as bad as the Nets/76ers/Pacers, I'm sure they would've won. People have a lot of recency bias because of what Kobe did 07-10, but keep in mind Durant's 07-10 hasn't happened yet. I don't know why it's in his head and if he knows he off, I agree that he should scale back the shots. But I watched all his attempts and I think of the ridiculous 19 first half shots, only 4 of them were bad shots. The rest are ones you probably want him taking. The second half is when he really hit the chucker mode. | ||
