Im starting to think there is a conspiracy theory to get lebron his first title, that foul on harden where james made the contact and then fended off with his arm and then call it on harden, disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Durant got called for the blocking foul on the Lebron drive is the same play that Battier always gets and player gets the offensive foul is it not? Looked the same to me from todays game anyway.
Oh HELLLLLLLLLL YEAAAAAAHHHHHH BOYYYYYY! Good solid win by Miami...If you told me Wade shot 8 for 22 and Bosh shot 3 for 12 and no other Heat scored more than 9 points and that they won the game, I'd have said GTFOH!!! Oh and only shoot 37 percent for the game!!! Let's go Heat!!!!
Great job by MIA to hold on to that one! I am surprised they got back out to 7 after OKC took the lead in the 3rd. By History, that should have been OKC's game once they caught up the initial lead.
I REALLY didn't enjoy watching that game, in fact from the 2nd quarter onwards I was tempted to turn it off. Absolutely terrible reffing, again.
I had a list of dodgy calls in mind that just frustrated the hell out of me, and they weren't all against OKC, although a majority probably were, but I am over complaining about the reffing this year.
I know that it is harder in real time but the problem isn't just with whether they see or don't see, it is consistency! What is considered a foul in one game, is not called in another.
Good win to Miami! LBJ in the first and Bosh in the last 3 were the difference imo. Bosh maybe not on the board, but his positioning and body work were class!
Over officiating the whole payoffs, im still not over some of the bs calls the spurs copped and today well lets not talk about today, cost okc a chance at getting a win.
Haven't watched the game yet but what I hear is that the refs were terrible, don't sound good. So it's do or die for OKC, win game 4 stay alive, lose game 4, game set match Miami.

I agree that durant was a block foul, on battier three quarters of his are blocks, the nba needs to look at this, players can't establish position after the offensive player has left the ground, far too many calls like this in this playoffs. It would be had to see in real time I guess.
Agreed, it was definitely a block, but the play that resulted in that fast break was a little sus. Look at the way Hardens arm is dragged away from the ball! I know he is a real actor, so the refs didn't believe it, but it did look to me like LBJ pulled his hand away from the ball!
Yeah the charge call is one of the toughest. Not sure what they can do there.The problem is alot of refs don't have the balls to make it a no call also. Sometimes that works.
Someone was saying that D.Wade had a bad game today??? Yeah 8/22 is'nt great but with 9/11 FT's and 7rebs and 7 assists I'd say the Heat will take that all series.
He played very well.
This is going to continue to be a great series.
I really hope OKC can get the next one. I'm still thinking 4-2 Miami overall.
Yeah, it is, but why is it more of an issue now than during the regular season? They managed to slow down the amount of charge takes and flops by making it real hard to drawer a charge. They need to make it harder for a 'secondary' or help defender to get a charge. If it is your direct opponent, fine, but the helper coming across at last minute, yet a fraction of a second before the offensive player needs to stop! Otherwise we are going to see the NBA become the NBL and just be 48 minutes of jump shots and straight up defense!
No doubt about it though, the worst call of the day was the LBJ off the backboard.... that was just terrible!
