Wow. Spurs are just playing ridiculous.

Heat have no shot against them if Bosh cant make it back in time. And even so, I could see the Spurs winning in 6.
 
I don't think Bosh will help. OKC had a better chance when they went with a small line up. If they want to win this they need to take Perkins out and even Ibaka might have to go.. the Spurs are basing their entire strategy off of those two guys right now.
 
DAMN. and you can always count on D.Wade to give the head of an opposing player a good SMACK... in the 4th. just like the one he just pulled against Rondo on his lay-up drive

And then on the very next play lead with his knee straight into KG. Only one of those plays got the foul call though. Fucking disgusting. The officiating in this game was disgusting. LeBron's receding hairline and inability to be remotely clutch is disgusting. Can't wait for the Spurs to beat dat ass.
 
Rondo was unconscious in that game. If he hadnt stopped shooting in the 3rd qtr and 1st part of the 4th the C's might have actually won. But when Pierce fouled out.....they were done. Awesome effort by Rondo though.
 
I only saw 1 missed call and 1 maybe call -
1. Wade hit Rondo in the head
2. Lebron might have stepped out of bounds

What else did I miss? Obviously there's a 20 point FT discrepancy but what accounted for this?

edit - 2 more
Ball was clearly out on Garnett on a turn over
I think you could call a foul on Rondo when they did the jump ball

funny, all I think about when watching Heat games is how the refs are screwing Miami. All the Celtics had to do was drive to the basket and a foul was certain to follow.

It depends on the observer's allegiance. Since the Heat are only slightly more popular than the Assad regime, it's gonna seem to most people like the games are fixed.

I miss refcalls.com
 
Really not sure how fans can try to call a bad foul for wade "kicking KG" when KG is full on grabbing him in the air.. there is no way any player would ever get a kicking foul for that play ever.
 
Lebron gets away with fouls all the time. Like when he blocked J Rich going for the 360 dunk, clearly got like all forearm. Not to mention it seems like he travels on a lot of plays.
 
The refs are very subjective, and the Heat know how to work them over before, during, and after the game in order to make calls go our way. They aren't the first team to do this and won't be the last. And when the Celtics (and Pacers before them) make comments about how the want to knock us the fuck out before the game, you can guess what is going to happen.

All things would be equal if more of these playoff teams actually applied their acknowledgement that the refs are biased towards who treats them better. You can win without them, but it isn't recommended against a team like the Heat who are so good at working them over they might as well have them in their pocket, and that goes along with having Wade and James, who due to superstar status are allowed to take an extra step before a travel is called.
 
I am a long time Celtics fan and my observation is obvious as to why the FT discrepancy exists between the Celtics and Heat in this series so far. The Celtics are primarily a jumpshooting team while the Heat are more of a mix. They tend to drive to the basket and get more called fouls, it is that plain and simple. The Heat post up more than the C's too. Although, its obvious KG cannot be stopped because of his all around game and the proof is not only in his post season numbers but also the C's winning % after the All Star break. But.....he is worn down and even though he still put up 18 pts and 11 rebounds last night, he was gassed in the 4th (no surprise since Stiemsa had 4 fouls in about 30 secs in the 1st quarter and KG had to come back in).

The other reason the Celtics get called for more fouls......like KG, they are a tired group playing heavy minutes and they are not young! When you are tired, you tend to foul more. Those reasons notwithstanding, there were and have been some questionable foul calls but other than Wade's smack on Rondo's face missed late in game 2, none could be argued that they have affected the outcome. With no legit center and Bradley gone, the Heat have the talent to exploit the C's weaknesses more so than Philly did.
 
I watched every second of SA's defeat last night, even though ot was a blowout with no drama. It's encouraging to see that they are mortal because they are so boring when they win. Watching SA win is like watching a surgical procedure.
 
im stickin with the thunder

so many people are on the spurs bandwagon now

I don't see how people are saying they don't think Bosh will be of much help once he comes back. His game fits in perfectly well with either D Wade or Lebron, but those two are a little awkward in the half-court game because of how similar their playing styles are. I do think this time away from Bosh has been helpful though with the over-all gelling of the Heat team.

Now they they figure it out it's gonna suck...

That'd be funny if Bosh really was doped up at that game. Why not? People get doped up and hang out in dumber places than the Eastern Conference Finals.

I think the only people saying the Heat are better off without Bosh work for ESPN. Shit is retarded, Bosh is still one of the best players in the league, no way a team is better off without one of the top 20 players in the game.
 
I love the idea of the game of basketball, but it just seems like the implementation is so.... unentertaining.

I cannot stand how in close games it almost always comes down to both teams standing around while someone takes free shots at the basket. High level sports should be decided by team play not who can make free throws.

I realize that the NBA will probably never change, but I would love to see a different spin on the game of basketball. Maybe not having the rim 85 feet in the air so only freakishly tall people can play would make it more intersting. Maybe making the court bigger so guys arent constantly standing shoulder to shoulder would create a more dynamic game. Maybe not stopping the game every time someone breaths on another player wrong would make me want to watch it.

As it is, I can hardly stand to watch this shit.

Can they just put these guys in pads and have 2 football seasons already?
