Somehow I have a feeling the heart the Thunder showed after getting their butts kicked for a large part of the game is going to get ignored.

Kevin Durant was disgusting in this game, by the way.

Nah, it actually looks like Durant pushes off on Lebron first. Good no call.

That could have gone either way actually.
If that was a foul, then almost every time James drives to the basket, he gets fouled.
Except it wasn't a foul.
No, that was clearly a block. Battier was clearly still moving under Durant after Durant had gathered himself to go up. I thought it was a charge at first too, but after watching the replay, it was a block.
Thunder fans are just going to have to accept Durant is not a clutch player.
Durant tried to draw the foul instead of making the shot. It was his own fault. I'm glad the refs didn't call that shit.
Also, the Heat are VERY fortunate to be walking out of the building with a W tonight. They played that entire forth quarter not to win, but to not lose. They were way too protective of their lead rather than just playing the game.

Damn sounded like a good game towards the end. Fuck I just had to go to red lobster tonight.
LeBron was making constant contact on Durant throughout the sequence. I don't mind letting a little contact go but that was excessive. It's a moot point anyways. Even if a foul had been called it likely would have been before the shot and Westbrook should have had the offensive board anyways but he couldn't bring it down.

Lebron was all over Durant on that play like Delonte West was on his mom.
I kid, I kid.
I kid, I kid.

Not a good night for the cyan crustacean.
Except when Durant rose to shoot.
As I said, if that's a foul, then every time James drives to the bucket, he's getting fouled.
Just like Russel Westbrook, Derrick Rose, etc..
Thunder can't blame the refs when they fall behind by double digits in the first half every game. Huge win by the Heat, though. Wade and Bosh both played much better and Lebron was Lebron. They were a little bit too safe in the 4th but now they got 3 straight at home and I wouldn't be surprised seeing them take 2 of 3.
Meh..after watching the replay I still think it was a charge. 'Clutch' is only used by Kobe fans to rile up fans of other superstars when comparing who is heir to MJ's throne as the next best player. 
I doubt OKC/Durant fans care too much about that unlike fans of Lebron.

I'm not sure if you understood what I meant. I never said Durant deserved two shots, or if that was a blocking foul
What I am essentially saying is that the heat had a foul to give. I'm sure you already know the mindset of a defender when the team has that option. You foul before they get the shot off, force them to reset the ball in. LeBron NEVER plays defense like he did on that last possession, he is an incredible defender. The way he played Durant there obviously tells you he had the intention to exercise the heat's last foul and the refs let it go.

That so called charge by Durant was a judgement call, it could have gone either way. Funny, I pointed that out to a heat fan and he pretty much accused me of hating on the Heat and giving them no credit. 
People need to man up, it was a judgement call that in the end had no effect on the outcome of the game. Just let it go.

So you agree it's not a foul? That's kind of my point.
You said it was a foul. I'm saying it's not. What's to misunderstand?
But they don't always take the foul.
If you watch, he was confused on rotation. He has to scramble to get back in front of Durant, because he was not ready for Durant to catch the ball then and there.
No, it clearly shows LeBron was not expecting the play to develop the way it did. Watch it again, you can clearly see James is out of position, not to foul, but because of some miscommunication.

I don't even think it was a judgment call, I think it was pretty clearly a block.

Doesn't matter, it in the end had no effect on the outcome. But some Heat fans cry whenever something doesn't go their way. Expect them to cry about it until Game 3.
