Is This Real Life…? NBA Game 4 Blog

NBA, the new WWE

Thunder 98     Heat 104

Listen, I’m not going to go all broken-record on all of you and complain about the refereeing. We have all seen that this series is not real life.  The Heat will always get the calls and the Thunder never will.  This series should honestly be at least tied 2-2, if not 3-1 in favor of OKC.  But I’ve already said too much about the refereeing; see my game 1, game 2 and game 3 blogs.  The same stuff is happening.

Is the NBA the new WWE?  Honestly. “LeBron overcomes incredible odds and injuries to defeat the Thunder with an unheard of 26 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds.”  I mean… Rajon Rondo practically averaged a triple double during the postseason.  Did anyone hear about that? Of course not.  You want to know why?  Because he’s not worth nearly as much as LeBron James.  

OKC made good adjustments at the start of the game and had the lead going into the second half, but Russell Westbrook couldn’t continue to carry the team on his own.  Despite his 43 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds, there wasn’t much secondary scoring other than Kevin Durant’s 28.  James Harden had another terrible night shooting 2-10 from the field with 8 points.  He was getting wide-open looks all night and could not cash in on ANY of them.  He might’ve been the Heat’s most valuable player on the floor last night (along with the refs, of course).  Wake up Harden! You’re a part of the “Big 3” you need to start playing like it! 4-20 in the last two games is unacceptable.

And how does Russell Westbrook, who assaulted the hoop last night, only draw 3 fouls!? It is actually insane and ludicrous to think about. It seems like whenever LeBron drives to the basket he’s either ‘fouled’ or everyone gets out of the way for fear of drawing a foul.  Jeff Van Gundy was at it again, calling out the referees left and right last night.  Could it be that their ears were clogged with the payoff money from David Stern?  

I'm not the only one who thinks this is a complete joke.

And the whole LeBron injury thing… I’m skeptical he was actually hurt to be honest. He was limping around after he made shots, but when he missed he would sprint back to the defensive side of the court and then fumble around as if he were in pain. It’s just a great story line to increase the ratings and make more money.  I’m sorry people; I honestly think this is the truth behind these crazy playoffs.  I have exposed this madness for what it really is.  Hopefully after all of this is said and done the NBA or someone will investigate these finals, like the Pacqiao and Bradley fight.  The fix is in.  As soon as the game is tied, LeBron fakes an injury and breathes new life into his fellow Heat players.  The NBA is the new WWE.
