Would love to see an automatic "T" for questioning foul calls rule .. it's way overdue.

I think the refs would do a better job if they were less annoyed.

I don't think so. Battier and Chalmers are going off..when they usually don't.

I just don't know this season. It's as clear as Obama's birth certificate that the officials for Game 1 of the Finals are calling ticky tacky fouls. I can see why the players are complaining.

I thought they did a great job in the first half of letting both teams play. This half has been an absolute abomination.

First half seemed like everyone was feeling themselves out Kontra, players and officials. The second half, as you rightly point out has been poorly officiated.

Especially the LeBron 3 steps to the basket all game.

Durant got away with a good amount of that too, Icy. Need to do a better job of trapping Westbrook in Game 2 and keeping him out of the lane. Durant will get his and I say let him. Contain Westbrook and do to him what you did in the first half and you maximize your chances of winning.

Also, nice to see the return of Lebron ****ting his pants in the 4th. For a man playing like he'll have no regrets, he certainly has a lot to regret about the final quarter.

C'mon Icy, you know that's legal.

Interesting that game 1 went the way I thought it would. The Thunder has too much offense for the Heat to defend. Westbrook looks like he's going to destroy Miami. His dribble penetration was first class. Once Miami's role player scoring dried up, their offense became anaemic.

June 28, 2007 must be a dark, dark day for Portland execs.
