With the NBA Finals already completed four games... the officiating has been horrendous to say the least. The first game was officiated well spliting the calls and actually letting the players play. Even with all of the whining and complaining by the Heat "Big 3" LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh.
The last 3 games however, all won by the Heat, have been officiated horribly except for the first quarter of game 4. The refs have given James, Bosh, and Wade the significant calls and the big stars for the Thunder, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have been completely shunned.
The first quarter of game 4 when the referees let them play... the Thunder completely manhandled the Heat with a score of 33-19 and a lead as big as 17 points. The Thunder ultimately lost the game by 6 and Russell Westbrook had 43 points. Even with those points he was being tossed like a ragdoll and shoved everywhere in front of the officials and nothing was being called.
Durant was fouled numerous times throughout every game and even EVERY member of ESPN's show "First Take" said he was not getting the respect he deserves.
In my opinion the series is The NBA Officials 3 The Thunder 1 and the Heat 0.
Tonight is game 5 let's hope the NBA Officials let them play OR the Heat actually EARN a victory.
