I rarely complain about the officiating...

CJ was fouled at 97-95 too.
Why can't the Jazz get a call at the end, in a game on their home court, in a game where the other team already shot way more free throws?
Free throw disparity: 34-22.
(Disclosure : I agree that the Jazz could have played better. That does not mean that the officiating is fair.)
 
Durant gets a lot of absurd calls his way. That's just how it is, we need to overcome it. Now, I am not sure because I have horrible memory, but I think there was a baffling technical that was called on Deron Williams I believe, I am not sure if it was last game, hell, it may have never happened, I am just crazy that way. If it did happen, that was my main gripe with the officiating.
 
They let Westbrook get away with carrying the ball a few times though, and then there was the uncalled swinging elbows by DJ White that struck both Price and Fes.
 
I thought the officiating was pretty bad....

I also thought, AK was bad and our defensive rebounding was terrible as usual this season...

^I agree with this... but I dont agree CJ fouled him, and since when has the NBA EVER apologized for a call after the game? I thought that was all a bit strange...
 
The Thunder did play very well. AK shut down Durrant in the 4th, but everybody on the Thunder (Westbrook, Ibaka, etc) else stepped up. I think the Jazz would have won if they weren't on the 5th game in 7 days with all of the energy spent on the comebacks.

That said, I thought the officiating was horrible. The Thunder shot something like 23 free throws to our 8 in the first half and then people were getting knocked to the floor left and right in the second half and nothing was called. The Jazz got in the penalty early in the 1st and 2nd quarters, but the Thunder got their 4th foul with 8 minutes and change left on the clock in the 4th quarter and they didn't get the 5th foul called until around 4 minutes left. And it's not like there were no fouls occurring.

Javie and Bavetta are the two refs that I believe occassionally follow the Donaghy method of officiating.
 
There are tons of variables which help to determine the outcome of an NBA game. A missed shot or a missed box-out, or a missed call during a tight game, and that's all it takes to turn the tide. It's just unfortunate when the officiating isn't consistent and bad calls shift the delicate balance of momentum towards another team. People pay a lot of money to see a game which is supposedly decided by players, not referees.

nobody cares for that game:P. nba did not issue an apolgy for that game. not saying i dont care about that game i do. but the outrside world DOES NOT.
 
oh wait, I can't say that can I? If the jazz had just made all their shots, they would have won anyways, right?

I couldn't agree more. I really hate the argument that "if the Jazz would only have shot 100% on their shots, then they would have won." You have no deductive reasoning ability whatsoever if you use an argument like that. The Jazz have been "Javied" by refs for years when playing the hated lakers in the playoffs. It's ridiculous.
