2011 Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread (5/26 7:30pm CST - TNT)

[Magnetic Curses]

can't believe they are calling anything against the super fantastic mega dynasty golden children sprite brigade

[Billy_Buck]

I think the Heat are making a mistake defensively. LeBron on Rose on the perim takes him out of help D at the rim.

[Derwood]

lol at Haslem trying to take the ball up the floor

[cubbyvirus00]

This officiating is enough to make somebody quit watching the NBA.

[Derwood]

James is really defending Rose well

[bcl412]

LOL Miami bench asking for a travel. Your team has LeBron James on it.

[Careless]

Miller is +29 Edited May 25, 2011 by Careless

[E.J.]

Mike [expletive] Miller. Come on guys.

you already should have quit after the heat-mavs and lakers-kings series several years ago.

[Magnetic Curses]

anything and everything they can call against us, anything and everything.

[USSoccer]

This isn't quite Sacramento/LA Game 6, but it's getting there.

[Flames24Rulz]

Mike Miller just beat Rose off the dribble. That's horrible.

[Derwood]

so you don't have to have position to draw charges in the NBA?

[EhDubya]

FT discrepancies are the lamest way to complain about basketball. Is there a rule that free throw attempts are supposed to be equal for both teams or something?

You really think so? I know the free throw differential is bad, but outside of that last charge on Noah, I don't it's been all that bad. They just go into the lane much more than we do.

 

It's a whole different discussion about why the NBA would be pushing for the team that 90% of the country wants to lose.

That was outrageous.

 

I can't buy into any "fix is in" theory -- makes more sense for the league for this series to go longer -- but this is some incompetence.

I think it's little things and not so much a completely out of whack FT discrepancy. It's more than Crawford and Salvatore are pretty easily swayed by a home crowd.

30-14 is pretty blatant and anybody that watches basketball would know that this series has been in favor of Miami all the way.

 

It's to the point where the officials are affecting the outcome of the game directly.

 

EDIT- It's not just the point totals that are affected but the momentum and the offensive rhythm are swayed as well.

I don't buy the conspiracy thing either. NBA refs just suck at their jobs.

[TruffleShuffle]

A 2-1 deficit going into game 4 in one of the highest rated televised NBA playoff series. Let's just say Miami fans will be unhappy with the refs after next game.

[USSoccer]

3 STEPS

[kujay]

Come on Boozer. [expletive] lame.

[Magnetic Curses]

and yet rose gets no free throws on the other end

[E.J.]

[expletive] Boozer.

[Derwood]

Boozer with the "girl slap while I get the [expletive] out of your way" foul
