Official 2011-2012 Playoff thread

Really don't want to take away from OKC's game, but man..... those refs were on the Thunder's payroll in the 4th!
Absolutely ridiculous!
I'll save comment till i watch the game this arvo. OKC were getting to the line a fair bit though going off the play by play. Saying that Harden and Fisher's 3's were timely and im sure removed any hope SAS had of taking this one.
 
I hope Boston don't get through it'll be the biggest lopsided finals series ever imo

Oh and Congrats OKC, i could have sworn SAS had them after the first 2 games


worse than 4-0?? :lol: it has happened but I think it would be a WOW WOW series :D

Momentum stoppers. Refs.

A huge factor in this game.
 
Great series, great turn around from okc, big credit to them. Anyone but Lebro for the title please!!! Back to the drawing board for sa because their pick and roll game is dead... K rant best player in the league easily. And the bearded one has also become the game changer.. Well done okc.

Ps. Nick I think I lost my collection to you....

I feel pretty confident that I am not being biased!
Jax getting a teck for looking AT THE BENCH!! After the whole bench stood up a yelled at him to miss???wtf

At 2:46 left, Westbrook makes a nice cut and catches TP off guard for an off balance layup! Good play! BUT WHERE WAS THE FOUL??

I'm sure you will see it too! lol

The refs were not great but it wouldn't have mattered, San Antonio were completely outplayed.
Couldn't agree less! There were a LOT of decisive calls that change the game. Making Manu sit in the 4th! Tech FT's! Westbrook's 'and1'!

Not sure how you think it wouldn't have mattered!

OKC out played SA in the second half, sure! But no more than SA outplayed OKC in the first! Should have been decided by a buzzer beater (no doubt from OKC) not the refs!

lol i should have worded it better, i believe the score line in the 4-0 series win that OKC would put on Boston should they get in the finals would be the largest ever :lol:
 
it's easy to blame the refs when your team loses
but it's pretty hard on them when dudes flop. they did good not to call about handful of harden heroballwadethrowyourhandsintheairaftershot plays during the game.

this is by far the best series this playoffs. OKC lost their first two games and then modelled themselves on SAS and eventually beat them at their own game because OKC are younger and can sustain

parker went out too hard and got tired at the end

if we can be half as good as this spurs team, i'll be very happy fan cos KD will have at least 2 rings
 
Fisher with 2 huge shots.

Kendrick Perkins 2 terrible ones almost let the lead go. Had the punch dunk though so yeah.

My buddy wants to go up there to OKC for the Finals ... I said For sure man (I'm down like a clown charlie brown ;) ) , but If Boston makes It, do you really want to go with me rootin for KG the entire time ? :rofl: ... I'd piss off alotta Oklahoma people. :thumbsup: (I love OKC though ... Boston Is what OKC WANTS to be ... or IS becoming right now.)

Disagree! I think it is harder to blame the refs! I know, without doubt, that the Thunder were the better team in 4 1/2 games out of 6. Personally, I think I wrote the series off after Game 5 even though I knew they still had a chance.
But to have such bad reffing even partially contribute to the ending makes it so much worse for me!
I have never been a sore loser, even when I play, but I just find it hard to swallow when a game is controlled so much by the refs!

Harden didn't get anywhere near the amount of calls he had been getting through the season, because the refs were too aware of the way he drives PURELY to get a foul. And I mean only the foul. Half the time he doesn't try to put the ball up! :lol:
But Parker and Manu do their fair share of exaggerating, so no one can complain about that!




BTW, Minh! Do you reckon you could shove over a little so I can be an OKC bandwagoner for a couple of weeks?

EVERYONE is becoming what Boston is!! It's called 'aging'! :rofl:
