What series are you watching????

I have stayed out of this as long as I possibly could.

I usually can't stand people who complain after a lost bet.

What drives me more crazy is people who actually refuse to admit what is going on.

I will start by saying, I have bet the Heat for the series and Heat in every game.

The Heat backers who are saying the refs have been fair are just plain not watching the game.

These have been the most biased refs I have seen in 10 years of basketball.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy making money off it, bbut atleast I can admit I am only winning cause the refs.

Those of you thinking Miami is the better team are worse than those calling out the refs.

Miami is lucky to not be down 3-0 right now. They should be atleast down 2-1.

I see all this talk about Miami playing better. Ha ha. Ok City led every category last night except free throws attempted and made.

Game 2 had the worse no-call I have ever seen at the end of the game. Lebron hit him atleast 3 times.

The ONLY bad call i can remember against Miami was the charge against durant. But, charges are 50/50 everytime.

Miami has been benefited by atleast 4 charge calls in the series, 3 of which they made an and-1.

Wade last night gets a layup in which Harden doesn't touch him and gets an and-1. Then, Wade is able to try to block a dunk and body Thabo the entire time with no call??? Ha ha

Brooks is given a T for a call the refs got wrong and reversed???? Ha ha

James throws the ball off the backside of the backboard and no call??? Ha ha

Durant drives ball off heat, and Heat get the ball. Ha ha

I can think of ATLEAST 10 bad calls against ok City, and just 1 against the Heat.

It just amazes me that people can argue that the refs have been equal. This is the most blatant one-sided refs i have seen in a long time.

The refs have taken durant out of game 2 and 3....both Miami wins....hmmm

People say its cause Miami drives. Half the foul on ok City are on the perimeter. Have you seen Miami play d??? They body up.and make more contact than any team in the league. Yet they don't get called for it?;; ha ha

Lebron van cover durant for the game and get 1 foul??? Ha ha

Wake up people and open your eyes.

Miami is not the better team. They would have no chance in this series if it wasn't for the refs.

If ok city can somehow beat Miami/refs in game 4, I am buying out of my series bet.

Miami would not be leading this series without the refs. It will.be interesting to see if the refs can get them 2 more wins.

Just amazing people are actually claiming the refs are fair and Miami is the better team.

I'm winning on Miami, and even I can see how lucky I am and how much better ok City is.

How do you think Miami would do if James had to sit the 2nd half.of game 4 and 5???;

Ok.city almost won game 2 and 3 without their best player missing half the 2nd half.

Miami the better team??? Ha ha. Miami needs the refs to win

im watching the REFEREES winning games for one team

Agree completely....Miami has not outplayed OKC and is definitely NOT the better team.  OKC should just have harden or Thabo guard Lebron so that KD can stay out of foul trouble.  I also think that OKC coaching has really cost them in this series.  I think the rotation has not been good at all..Brooks has stuck with guys for too long in games and leaves guys on the bench for too long.  Why would he leave westbrook out for the last 5 mins of the 3rd qtr when KD had to be out also with foul trouble?  Made absolutely no sense at all, he let the heat climb back into it.  OKC also could not make a damn free throw for their lives. 

The refs are definitely favoring the heat, wade and lebron are untouchable.  OKC is not getting the same calls that Miami is getting, it's just a fact. 

Take all of these things into consideration.....and realize OKC has STILL had the chance to win every game in this series.  They are the better team, they were down 2-0 to the Spurs and look what happened.  I think when these guys get down or feel like they are being tested, that is when they play their best.  I still think OKC will win this series....BUT only if they can win the next game.  If they can even the series up next game and have a chance to go home 3-2 if they get another win....then I think they got this.

Why dont you buy out before game 4...

Makes no sense to buy out after IMO

This is my first year Basketball in general..i thought football was bad at fix games.  But nba is the worst of em all.

You do not know what your talking about asshole punk the heat are the better team the refs Have nothing to do with it jerkoff

There's been some questionable calls, as there always are in every game involving stars in the NBA, but I can't agree with you that the refs are the only reason Miami is winning. 

Probably the best posts in regard to reffing I've seen....and coming from a heat backer...takes a lot of pride.

It is mind-boggling how stubborn Miami fans are...

Ok City has led every.offensive catagory besides game 2 barely. And even then they should have had a chance to tie.

The ONLY reason Miami won yesterday was free throws. Yes better shooting but also a ton more attempts.

It's a joke, and ill take it.

Its amazing how much denial Miami fans have.

I'm not a Miami fan, I just realize how bad the NBA wants Miami to win.

Miami can't win on their own.

There is nothing I.have seen in the first 3 games that shows they are better.

Ok City is the better team, but they are playing 5 on 8.

Miami is lucky to not be down atleast 2-1 and even 3-0.

Imagine if the refs took James out.of 2 games, ha ha. This site would be going nuts.

Even against the refs, the Thunder have had chances to win games 2 and 3.

They are far superior than Miami.

Too bad they can't beat the guys in stripes.

I lost all respect for any Heat backer when I saw them claiming the end of game 2 was not a foul....or even better it should never have happened anyways cause Durants charge....

What land of non-reality do these people live in???

Nice tit shot....

Refs arent winning the series...

Miami is the better team and playing better

While there may have been a couple of questionable calls in Game 3 to say that Miami has not been the better team and should be down 3-0 is just being a poor loser.

The Heat controlled the 1st half of Game 1 before their legs gave out in a spot where teams' legs almost always give out in the 2nd half of a road game off a 7 game series. In Game 2 they dominated from start to finish. Yes, leading from start to finish on the road in that building is domination. That is 3 of 4 halves on the road they were largely in control of and the other one being questionable with tired legs. In Game 3 they won both halves as well. After 3 games if anyone still thinks OKC is the better team and are blaming the refs you need your head examined.

One of the reasons Miami got the calls in Game 3 was because they were penetrating and attacking the rim. OKC is a jumpshooting team and they fell back into those habits in Game 3. Another thing is Miami is making their free throws while OKC is not. In Game 3 OKC also looked discombobulated at times on the offensive end and a few times trotted back after committing turnovers resulting in guys being out of position and committing fouls.

Let's stop the whining and crying. Miami has been the better team through 3 games and deserve the 2-1 lead.

 

How did Miami outplay them in game 3 when they led 1 statistic???  Free throws attempted and made

Hmmm.....

Ok City had just as big as a lead in game 3, as the heat did in 1 and 2....all on the road...then 13 free throws in the 3rd got Miami back in....

Imagine how good Miami would do if Lebron had to sit half the 2nd half with fouls....

Amazing Ok City has had a chance to win all 3 games with Durant sitting the 2nd halves

Miami took a lot of free throws in the 2nd half largely because they were the more aggressive team. During that run in the 3rd quarter OKC jacked up jumper after jumper.

While I will concede that the 4th foul on Durant was a phantom call you have to remember two things #1. He shouldn't have been in that position with 3 prior fouls to begin with and #2 There is absolutely no guarantee OKC wins the game if he doesn't sit (he played almost 40 minutes anyway) as he was a minus player in Game 3.

When you get this deep in the playoffs there are no differences in talent between teams. These games come down to who keeps it together mentally and executes on both ends. Miami is more aggressive and are making clutch plays and executing. OKC look overwhelmed, passive, they are committing costly turnovers, missing free throws, skating back on defense after those mistakes and even the coaching staff is committing blunders.

Miami has been the better team and deserve the 2-1 lead. Miami really played like shit in Game 3 and OKC should have won but they lost not because of the refs entirely but because of their mistakes.

There isn't one objective person in the world who has watched these 3 games that will say OKC has been the better team, because they simply haven't been.

Watch the game assholes you will see the heat is much better team you no good motherfucker

Isn't it great when the kids are off school, they bring such intelligence to this forum.

OP, AGREE 100%, if you don't, you are in serious denial.
BTW, I am winning and I have Heat for series, so what would be my objective...just being honest and living in a place I like to cal reality.

Miami had more turnovers in game 3, and more turnovers in the 4th qtr as well...

In the 3rd qtr, Miami took more "jump shots" than Ok City...

To claim that Ok City was hurt by Durant sitting 6 minutes, well I dont even know how to comment on that...

Sure, Miami had 2 big leads in game 1 and 2...but if they are the better team they wouldnt have allowed them to come back liek they did...

Durant has had to sit in the 2nd half of game 2 and 3...imagine if Lebron had to sit for 6+ min at a time

Miami came back because of free throws...Ok City came back in game 1 and 2 without the help of refs...

This guy who created the thread is betting Miami...and even he realized they arent the better team

 

 

fascinating!  apparently you didn't read the first part of this thread... where the OP pointed out that he has "bet the Heat for the series and Heat in every game."


Andarmac is a legend on this site... for all of the wrong reasons... if he says something, the opposing argument is solidified!

Oh dear. Please watch the game instead of the box scores/stats. I've seen all three games and OKC showed that they are a dangerous team who can easily start runs but never did i see them the better team (maybe except for the second half of Game 1).

Lebron is leading his team to the title...pretty simple so far...series is faf from over tho....OKC ML on tuesday....GL fellas
