I just watched you analysis on the officiating in the Thunder/Spurs series. You clearly watched a different series than I did. The referees allowed the Spurs to bang and use hands on all the Thunder repeatedly with no calls. If the games had been refereed fairly, the Thunder would have been at the line much more ofter.
