Saying the refs gave OKC the series is just a joke.

You beat me too it. This series exposed RC's inability to make in game adjustments. I think people were fooled by last year. He is only good if he has an entire season to work out his line up adjustments and if the opposing teams present no brainer options like the Lakers and Heats did last year because of their lack of defensive speed at the guard positions. He really has no concept or feel for game flow or syncronicy. What kind of in-game stragity is it to not make adjustments or call time outs but rather to let the on court line-up play their way out off their own difficultys. I am not disappointed in the playoff outcome because I never expected any better.
Ps. There also would really be nothing wrong with Terry on the team as long as the coach had the ability to recognize his (at the moment) level of play and sit him when he is out of sync or has that " I am getting ready to have a brain fart" look on his face.
