Sorry boobs. The refs were awful but chris Paul blew this one
I like to live a life of abundance and blame both. There is a reason why I tweeted to Paul directions to walk fucking home!
Also Bill Simmons called this shit over an hour ago.
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons 1h You can't assign these 3 guys to THIS game. You just can't. I am so disappointed.
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons 1h The lousy refs are about to ruin one team's season. Lock it down. I am assigning @Jpdabrams the Game 5 oral history right now to save time.
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons 2h Bennett Salvatore, Tom Washington and Tony Brothers reffing a genuinely important NBA playoff game - what could possibly go wrong?

Durant was worse than Paul.
Check the facts.
Durant came up big at the end, including a couple of huge 3's. The one with the Thunder down 7 was why they won excluding the refs. Refs or not, Paul fucked up three straight possessions at the end, although I thought calling a foul on him on the Westbrook 3 was bullshit.
APAG @TheKobeStopper 32m @reedstrong7 I like that you it's rigged idiots ignore the 5 minutes where Clippers got every call to build double digit lead.
You guys are being silly. It was poorly officiated, not rigged.
When fixing a game you don't let the team you want to lose build an 11 point lead late in the game. The officials could have stopped that run multiple times.
If LAC makes a couple more shots there would have been nothing the the refs could have done. That's not how you fix a game.
I've heard complaints like this before. After the Seahawks lost to the Steelers in the Super Bowl. That's the territory you pussies have entered. Congratulations.
Also, you guys realize if Chris Paul just makes a shot on the last possession the Clippers win right? That's fixing a game? The team you want to lose can just make a jump shot to win? Seriously you're embarrassing yourselves.
Even Tim Donaghy knew you're not supposed to be obvious; only need to push the scoring a few points in one direction. Fixed, shitty officiating, not sure there was a difference there tonight.

The NFL actually works on improving its officiating.
The NBA keeps bad/crooked officials around forever.

Also, this:
That was probably just a bad call, the officials knew they'd missed the foul call and decided to make up for it by awarding possession to OKC. Still bullshit, and you're kidding yourself if you don't think the officials are aware of what outcome the League prefers.

I agree with this. I don't think it is rigged, but was very poorly officiated. The problem is, the NBA keeps trotting out these refs who are fucking horrible year after year.
I do agree that crying about the refs is lame. Paul shouldn't have turned it over with 11 seconds left. It's easy to be pissed at the refs, but the Clippers could have won this game if they handled their business.

And one of the guys on a network NBA studio show called out what would happen an hour before it did.

It's so sad how predictably corrupt the NBA always is. Like NBA homers(APAG) mock us for saying that but it's always true.
I still remember in 1993 the NBA wanted a Barkley-Jordan finals so in game 7 against Seattle they shot 63 fucking free throws. 63!!!
Zach Randolph suspension and the phantom 3-pt foul. We're running out of wrapping paper.
I love this comment just comes out and says it like it is.

@TheKobeStopper @reedstrong7 If you don't think the NBA is rigged then you are naive or trolling.

@TheKobeStopper Fouls: LAC 28, OKC 21.
I hope he's just trolling and doesn't actually doesn't believe that.
36-20 in FT's, terrible call to give OKC the ball with 11 seconds left, terrible call on Westbrook dumb three point attempt.

Credibility problem.
