It's james' arm to durrant's chest pushing him backwards that I thought was a foul. But then westbrook gets an offensive foul for what looked to me like just chasing the ball.

But it's basketball and fouls can go either way and are often miscalled/subjective. That's why I like football with instant replay, it slows things down but things are usually called right. But the end of the game showed that even down by what 17 points the Thunder came back and had a good chance of winning. Should be a good rest of the series.

That kind of contact coming from someone that is 6'8" and a sandbag 250lbs is not so "minimal".

Slow the video down to 25% speed. James reaches across Durant's chest, doesn't body him at all. It's not that apparent on TV, but from talking to pro ball players (Hazzard, Wickes, Johnson, Vandeweghe) you rarely get a shot near the basket without being hit, shoved or poked in some fashion.

Durant was shooting a fadeaway jumper. He won the 12/29/2011 game with a very similar 3-point fader.

On every play, of every game, some one is getting fouled

when, and on who the whistle is blown can be very subjective (biased)

the team (almost always the home team) that shoots the most free throws

almost always wins.

the last seconds of game 2 in the finals is not a good time to call a foul on the MVP!

That's the NBA

Sorry.

Both teams are too placid imo. There should be more fouls/ fights if this is the finals.

ol guy is right.

in that situation no way do the zebra's make the call against the MVP up against the shooting champ. It's gotta be blatant and it simply isn't.

Ever see 'em call it on Jordan in that situation?

It's special treatment - it comes around and it goes around.

Durant's comments, "I missed the shot".

The Heat wire-to-wire tomorrow night as well.

Thunder were robbed. If that foul was correctly called they probably would have won.

Reminds me of a certain Bulls/Jazz finals game I'm still bitter about.

A couple more made shots down the final seconds and the thunder would be up 2-0...Maybe the heat are adjusting to the thunder...Durant is one bad-ass mother...

He who controls the "boards", both offensive and defensive, usually gets the win. All the rest is just grandstanding to get lucrative sponsorships.(not that there's anything wrong with that)

Durant is very, very good but he is no Lebron....nobody is, now or ever.

Dont ask LeBron for change from a dollar

He'll only give you three quarters.

Of all the heroes in legend and song
There’s none so brave as El Kabong.
He appears when most needed,
He rights the wrongs,
Then he’s gone like a flash.
That’s El Kabong!

Durant's 4th foul was the same circumstance as the James no-call last game.
Boo.

Durant did not have a good game. I don't count Miami mistakes cuz I'm for OKC, but OKC made way too many.

I'm pulling for Miami but a couple of those fouls on Durant were pretty lousy calls....I think Durant is better than LEBRON...Durant can drill the 3 pointers with conistancy and is quicker to the hoop than Lebron....
