    As an NBA fan

    I'm really not that interested in watching Dirk and Durant trade free throws every time down the court.

    This is ridiculous.

    17 free throws the first 6 minutes of the 2H?

    It's not quite as boring as a game with Dwight howard, but still pretty boring.

    It's asinine.

    Westbrook, Durant and Dirk have combined to shoot 35 free throws and we're midway through the third quarter.

    Where did these hack refs come from?

    19 points from the free throw line in the third quarter so far. We haven't even played 8 minutes.

    Dallas has that ability though, when Dirk is hot.

    They run the same play over and over, and it ends with a basket, or a basket + foul from dirk

    42 free throw attempts from Dirk, Westbrook and Durant now.

    Good God.

    With how the playoff been so boring with all defense, NBA wants an offense type of game to booot ratings, nobody wants to see defense so refs are a little strict on calls for lighter defense.

    This post makes no sense. People don't want to watch a game with 60 free throws.

    Dirk's good at drawing fouls, but this is insane.

    If he's breathed on wrong, he's shooting 2 tonight.

    Sounds like someone was on the over. I find this game great to watch, seeing two complete mismatches play out and watching how teams try to adjust.

    You like seeing free throws every 5 seconds?

    Dirk has 40 points on 12 shots.

    Dirk, Westbrook and Durant have combined to shoot 49 free throws in 42 minutes.

    There have been 47 fouls and 65 free throw attempts in 42 minutes.

    You don't think those numbers are absurd?

    I didn't bet on this game but I agree the fouls are ridiculous against both sides.

    40 points on 12 shots because you have been to the line over 20 times. That is absurd.

    You are telling me, that EVERY time Dirk shoots the ball he is fouled?? Give me a break, I mean you can call fouls on EVERY play if you want to. This is just too stupid for me, let the players decide it, not these phantom calls.

    There was obviously a lot of ticky tac fouls but there was also a ton of undisciplined fouls by the Thunder. The refs called a tight game both ways. Durant just wasnt able to continue to score with Dirk

    If the fouls are justified, and they come in the context of a classic mis-match then there is nothing boring about seeing a lot of free throws. It just highlights how strategic the playoffs are, how teams have to adjust, when they double team, who they put on the floor when, etc. Will Dirk shoot 24 free throws every game? No, but I hardly saw one occasion where he didn't deserve to be at the line, did you?

    Matchup mismatches aside, I saw a lot of shit that could have easily been no-calls vs. both Dirk and Durant.

    A whole shitload of calls. It was a very poorly officiated game both ways.

    Durant, I saw two fouls that were phantom calls, one early in the game when Terry got called and when Chandler got called with Durant driving and Chandler just jumped straight up in the air. Dirk - can't think of one that wasn't a pretty decent call.

    Fouls are going to be an integral part of this series. Dirk is just a complete mismatch for every team in the league right now, Durant almost as much for the Mavs.

    As a fellow NBA fan I thoroughly enjoyed the game - each to their own.

    That was one of the best games Ive seen this year. Watching Dirk break the NBA record and the over hitting with still 7mins to go. Love it !!!!

    This!

    As an OKC fan, I can agree it was going bad both ways.
