Despite the bad ref calls, the calls didnt hurt the Bulls at all compared to the many bad calls made to other teams during this year's playoff games. What hurt the Bulls? Bulls couldnt get their offense clicking, couldnt hit free throws, Boozer not playing when they needed offense and someone to draw the defense from double and triple teaming Rose, lack of a solid SG who can create their own shot, Lebron growing a pair of a balls all of a sudden.

[josh mullen]

I disagree that the bad calls didn't hurt the Bulls. You're absolutely correct in saying that the poor officiating wasn't the most glaring cause of their defeat, but it certainly made things more difficult. They were in the penalty for almost the entire first fucking half because the half-wits refs couldn't help themselves from making terrible, ticky-tack calls every time the Heat had the ball. With so many piss-poor calls going against them, you could see the Bulls playing a bit weaker down low.

Their poor shooting was the biggest problem. Derrick didn't have a good game, nor did any of his teammates. Deng had a nice first half before disappearing in the second. And fuck all, Korver needs to hit when provided with an open look. If he isn't shooting well, he's a complete liability on both ends. But, you can't pull him after 2-3 misses and expect him to find a rhythm in the series.

Oh, and it would have helped if the Bulls could have made a fucking free throw. Christ.

a 3 day break before game 3 Chi-Mia? absurd.

[alimenator]

Let's go thunder! Thunder bench was the difference maker this game

[i wear shooes]

James Harden is becoming one of my favorite players for sure..

Love his game

[amardeep]

i like him cause he's one of the few dudes that smile a lot ||

his game face sucks doe

[atrak]

haha, westbrook was mad. props to brooks for sitting out a star player the entire 4th. westbrook acting like a child. he's still young, but shit - pass the fucking ball.

[youkinorn2]

We play bad + thunder play good =

Surprised we were still in it at the end.

And yeah when Harden does that thing where he never misses he's pretty fun to watch...unless he's playing your team.

I want a poster of that picture now.

My Thunder in 7 prediction doesn't sound that far fetched now ehh youkinorn2?

Yes, it does. If the Thunder win, they do it in 6.

They won't, though.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

That was the highest KD has ever jumped in his sweet, backpack-wearing life. bless his heart.

Retract any good things I've said about harden.

That was some soccer-dive-status flop action. Embarrassing.

[kidaradio]

even with the refs on their side okc could pull this game out....

the calls and FT disparity in this game was absolutely disgusting. c'mon refs just call the game fair/same on both ends...

calls did definitely suck. Wouldn't have blamed the refs if the Thunder had managed to finish the come back, but it's "interesting" that we shot half as many FT while clearly being the more aggressive team all game.

[Guest Methimphibian]

could of sworn dirk got fouled around 6 times all no calls....

Gotta love refsbrook trying to do too much as usual, after cutting the lead in the 4th basically by himself he tried to hit a big 3 and air balled haha, cook did the same exact thing, all with something like 1:30 left on the clock. thunder have to get quality possessions no matter what.

[soap]

They tend to do that a lot, mount a comeback and get it to one or two possessions...then get so stagnant and throw up bad shots, ultimately losing. I don't think Scott Brooks really has any clue what he's doing...he just has a bunch of young guys with talent. It is pretty impressive what they have done considering...

Also, I'm feeling like Deng will have have a pretty big night tonight. Let's hope Derrick will get to the free throw line.

[jackers]

bosh doing mad work right now

[atrak]

end of the 3rd quarter and dallas is down by 4. they haven't played well at all and are still in it. let's see if the thunder can close out this game or dallas will pull through. i'm hoping for the latter but i think the thunder are gonna win this game. dallas keeps closing the gap, but the thunder have answered back everytime.

[youkinorn2]

when jeff van gundy and marc jackson comment on how well a game has been officiated

you know it's been some wack officiating.

[atrak]

can't believe dallas got this game into ot. dirk is solid. lol at the thunder ball boys tryin to ice dirk on his last free throw. dicks.

i like van gundy. his voice reminds me of any of the 3 main characters on it's always sunny in philadelphia. very high pitched, always almost screaming. mark jackson can die. wish they replaced him w/ kenny smith.

[i wear shooes]

Thunder

[youkinorn2]

I can't stand kenny smith.

I can, however, stand that come back. Everyone was filthy when it mattered. Kidd and Marion defensive double team is a terrifying thing. Dirk just decided he didn't want to go back to Oklahoma (don't blame him).

Gotta go puke now.

[youonlyliveonce]

only God can stop dirk nowitzki.

rick carlisle reminds me of jim carey in me myself and irene. upon further investigation, there's a fb page? shit, i'm late on this. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jim-Carrey-and-Rick-Carlisle-are-Twins/184971034865858

In the future, please remember not to make statements like this after 1 win.
