Re: Refs giving
The whole lottery thing is B.S. any way you slice it. Just like the NFL, the NBA wants offense. No more playing defense like the Knicks of the '90s or the Bad Boys of Detroit. Like it or not, that's today's NBA. But to say the refs are costing the Thunder the series is crazy. Durant is getting his and Westbrook went off but they are not getting much help elsewhere. The Heat have out played OKC down the stretch in the last 3 games, plain and simple.
The refs blow calls both ways, the home team will shoot more free throws. Westbrook made 2 bad plays at the end to cost them the game. The refs are bad, but not that bad.
