Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with this shit league.

And then I watch the Spurs

I swear, if we get jobbed out of 16-0 cause the refs..

My wrath will shake the earth, move the heavens, and stir the oceans. Stern won't be able to escape me.

 

[Carlbeego]

that's called help defense cuz the other guy fell asleep on the cut. just sayin.

Give up the 2. They had a 3 point lead.

 

[ph33nix]

Is there anyone here (even Heat fans), who think that game was reffed fairly?

Can you fucking read?

From an impartial fan, the game was reffed slightly in favor of the Celtics.

most of the fouls i saw called on boston were legit fouls

however

there were many missed calls against the heat

 

[RedAssedApe]

y not?

makes me giggle every time i see this shit.

Games 3,4,5 are in Miami , so yeah Stern will go all out.






Heh Ray did miss a open 3 within the final 3 minutes of regulation that led to the battier 3 or a random tieing lay up.


Point is........ at least go back to Miami lol

 

[RedAssedApe]

The two consecutive foul calls that favored Wade in OT were the game changers.

 

[Mileena]

Bad officiating is an NBA staple. I've literally never seen a well reffed NBA game.

 

[ph33nix]

lol Justin Timberlake acting like a real cocky bitch already

 

[Talon]

Regardless of the numbers, Dooling and Pietrus really let off with some shitty fouls.

Pietrus had that chance to wrap up Lebron before he had a clear path but hesitated for some reason. Then he went into his body when he had good position on the baseline.

The kick and the missed foul on Rondo stick out more than the numbers. A lot of Boston's fouls came from bad turnovers out of the post leading to breaks - KG had at least three I can recall - and offensive boards.

There was definitely some blatant non-calls on the Heat, that's for sure.

 

[balddemon]

i completely agree, except hasn't ray ray been bricking 3s? didn't he miss a wide open 3 earlier in the game? can't really blame lebron, the celtics did what they were supposed to do and got their shooter open - and he finally made the shot

Yeah ok.

 

[The Frankman]

that shit was amazing, and I had just said this game wasn't really marred by any really horrendous calls too.

He reads BestGAF?

 

[iamblades]

Tim Legler just criticized Rondo for laying on the ground when he was hit on the eye. Smh.

IMO Rondo is immune to criticism of his toughness after playing one armed last year, now he's going 53/53 mins. He is one of the toughest dudes in the game now. There's really no argument to be made there.

 

[Ninjimbo]

The game seemed fair to me. What decided that game were a bunch of botched plays.

Duncan will foul out by halftime going straight up to challenge shots.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I think the Heat did get a lot of garbage calls tonight, but I'm not sure Rondo did really get touched:

[Talon]

This is what I don't get. Everybody here is smart enough to know that Hero Ball doesn't work in the 4th Q with Isos producing just over half a point per possession as opposed to pick and rolls producing over 1.5.

Then we hate on players for passing the ball late.

 

[Dominican Power]

Rondo has been putting the team on his back all fucking year. KG has also been putting in work for the majority of the season. I think if Bradley was still healthy, they could of won this game. At least Rondo will get some help this off season.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Maybe for the regular season, but this is the conference finals. Draw blood, jesus. At one point, Dwyane dove into all 5 Celtics and still managed to stand up and walk away after. That can't happen.

draw blood from Wade or LeBron and you get booted. Stern's orders.

I think the Heat did get a lot of garbage calls tonight, but I'm not sure Rondo did really get touched

yes you are.

Ray was hot this game. Wade was yelling at Lebron on that play. You have to stay on Ray in that spot.

I don't think the same people criticize hero ball and unclutchness.

Even if he was touched, it's obvious from those replays that laying down on the floor was hamming it up. Don't do Wade in Wade's house.

It's clear Rondo got hit. Wade's hand goes over like half of his face.

 

[Talon]

Lebron hero balled like a moron and failed.

He should have drived and dished.

That MJ shot over Ehlo has engrained itself into every player's head.

No, this was a clear foul (from the reverse angle shot, much clearer).

I maintain the "kick" play was fine, though.

ok fair enough i only watched the last 2-3 minutes in the 4th and OT

Wade never gets calls like that so why should Rondo?

[effzee]

Missed the game but heard 4rth quarter on while driving home from work. Come home check GAF for reactions...whine whine whine refs refs refs.

Yup nothing changes.

 

[Talon]

On a side note, KG should have gotten Pierce's last foul. He shoved Wade with his forearms...right into Pierce.

 

[The Frankman]

No, this was a clear foul (from the reverse angle shot, much clearer).

Foul on Duncan, amirite?

 

[Owzers]

It's clear Rondo got hit. Wade's hand goes over like half of his face.

By Skip logic if Wade would have scratched him, it would have been a Flagrant 2.

You didn't even watch the game man. Watch that garbage with your own eyes and tell me it was fair.

 

[iamblades]

^^

It's obvious, you can see wade's wrist bend right as it makes contact, where his arm stops and his hand keeps moving because of the momentum.

Cosign on this shit. Players with no midrange game try to do that.

don't try it.

Yes.

lmfao, watch the game yourself then come back in here.

i'm waiting.

 

[scorcho]

c'mon, that's not even comparable to Wade's 'kick'.

I feel you bro, shit is challenging!

Lebron has to get it drilled into his head that he may be compared to Jordan, but he's not the same type of player as Jordan and shouldn't try to rely on the same tactics as Jordan.

 

[Talon]

Watching that shit hole Tom Benson smile after Stern stole the #1 pick is painful.
