Being a player with great noteriety does seem to have it's perks. However, there's no justification for allowing this player to practically manhandle another and hear claims it never should have presented itself. Regardless if Durant got a second life or not, James was guilty of fouling, period.

keep losing your money betting against the Heat schmuck. its pretty evident you haven't watched this team all year and are listening to guys like Jon Berry too often.

Great clip in post #1. It clearly shows what happened....
- the arm hook is a foul, but was a NON - shooting foul... The heat had a foul to give and if this was called, would have been side out. both players bodies partially shielded the hook and if the refs accidently missed it, its excusable in REAL TIME. If the refs saw it and didnt call it, it was a side out foul anyway - the replay shows clearly that bron did NOT impeade durants shooting stroke. - bron drags his arm down durants body. Light hand to body contact is simply not called in the final minute. Its always been like that and this is not a special bron call. two quick ecamples i can think of off the top of my head: the final minute of the 1984 nba finals, game 4. The laker defender is literally grabbing larry birds jersey. final minute of mavs/lakers last year, game 1. lakers are inbounding the ball and jason kidd puts his hand on kobes back as he is making his cut... Kobe bobbles the ball, lakers turn it over and mavs win the game. kidd could have been called for a foul there....
It was a good no-call by the refs CONSISTENT with what usually is called in play off games in the last minute - light body to body or hand to body contact is overlooked, as long as the shooting motion is not impacted.... often contact on the follow through is overlooked as well....
Coversely, i beleive the blocking call on battier was the right call. it was a 50/50 judgement call in the moment and in these 50/50 calls , the tie goes to the offensive player...
Even more ridiculous that heat had only 3 team fouls the entire quarter with a foul to give in that situation.

HAHAH, first of all, do you ever get off this site like the person earlier said? You answer on him constantly and oftenly... you obv dont have much of a life. second, it was no doubt a foul on LeBron, but what you dont realize is that fouls like that NEVER are called late in the game like Game 2. And to blame a game ON ONE CALL and makes me laugh at you every harder The Thunder EASILY lost the game in the first 7 minutes, not that call. To blame th egame on one call at the end makes you a fucking moron hahahah, but that isnt surprising
Once again....why dont you actually READ what people say before responding!!!
You are trying so hard to call people haters and call people out, that you dont even read what they say before you respond.
All you do is come in here laughing and laughing and not even responding to the comments that they make.
When in this thread did I ever blame the game on this one call??? Please show me!!!
Second, I have seen much worse foul calls in the end of the game. You act like fouls are never called in the last seconds of games.
As for losing the game in the first 7 minutes....so because they were down 15 to start the game, that means they dont deserve to have a chance to tie it with 12 seconds left
Ha ha ha, WOW!!!!
You call me an idiot!!!!
I guess we should just tell teams that for now on huh.
Sorry team, you were down 15 in the 1st quarter. Even though you battled back to have a chance to win the game, we wont be calling fouls or give you a chance because you blew it in the 1st qtr....
WHo is the moron now

From ahistorical standpoint, I believe when these OKC franchise was the then Seattle Supersonics, I believe they either won or lost the NBA championship when a foul was called in the last seconds and free throws were awarded and made to win it all. The opponent was the then Washington Bullets. Off the top of my head I can't remember but I know the controversy was that the ref should have swallowed his whistle too.
