 I love when the referees do not step in and let the players decide the outcome of the game! Ginobili stepped on the line, fine! Waiters pushed him off.. fair no call there! Durant got fouled on the pass but flopped instead of fighting for the ball? Don’t call that either! 

I wish the refs would do that more often and force the players to play instead of looking for bail out calls at the end of games. In the end, the Spurs still had a chance to win and the Thunder still had to defend. 

Chris Webber needed some kleenex after the game to wipe his tears. What was he crying about? Looooool

 Great ending to a great game. Look at the BleacherReport comments. So many whiners. But those games are the best, when the officials just let them play. There were no "clear" fouls I would say, just tough plays. I loved it. Those are the best kinds of games.

Also, that fan that grabbed Steven Adams arm should be banned from NBA games for at least next season. Fans are getting worse and worse. It’s kinda ridiculous and she’s lucky Adams didn’t go full Artest on her.

 Yah that is completely unacceptable! What was he thinking? He should be banned for life and I’d even go as far as putting his dumb ass in jail for a few days assault or harassment!

 I have to say yes a clear foul was missed and a foul (or violation in that case) should have been called. On the other hand Manu stepped on the line and when the crowd is grabbing the inbound passer from behind and he has no room at all to make the play it’s hard to argue about that, especially when Manu reacts the way he always does. 

The Spurs had multiple chances to win this thing after they got the ball and failed to do so. Auf was very lucky and not often Duncan, Parker and Green had bad nights like this. Even Kawhi missed some layups and they paid the price for this. 

Many hate the Thunder offense and rightfully so since it’s not pretty to watch and having a guy like Roberson out there doesn’t help them at all since he always is like -10 or worse the way he can he used but the real key needs to he their defense. Their outrebounded the Spurs and had more turnovers like always but if they can hold any team below 100 they have a chance. 

I’m really really excited how game 3 will turn out now!

 A foul is a foul. And when a player steps on the line, he’s out of bounds. I don’t understand what ‘let the players decide the outcome of the game’ even means.

 Screw the Spurs. You remember how they jacked the heat up for the finals vs lebron

[ChoppyParticipant]

 I remember how the Spurs beat the heat playing really good team basketball. You must’ve been watching something else…

 Yeah the "let the players decide the outcome" thing is real stupid logic. If a guy hacks the living hell out of someone, how aren’t they deciding the outcome there? 

that final scramble was unbelievably exciting. Would’ve liked to see Manu either probe the lane another second and hit a trailing guy in the lane for a layup or throw up a lil floater of his own rather than kick it back to the corner but whatever. 

There were 5 missed calls in the final 13 seconds. That’s absurd to me. How are NBA refs this bad? I get that the game is tough to officiate, things happen fast and guys are under the microscope more than ever, but it’s not like these guys are doing this for free. They are well-compensated…do a better job.

Horrendous officiating but ultimately fair. Look at the photos right before dion shoves manu and you will see kawhi Leonard arm fully extended with a fistful of Westbrook jersey who is trying to break to the ball. To me that was even more of a missed call then Manu stepping on the line. Then Durant gets hacked and the Spurs end up with the ball anyways, throw in a fan grabbing Steven Adams arm and yeah I think the Spurs don’t have anything to cry about.

They don’t. Which is why they aren’t. Fans are.
