That is almost never called on LeBron. Only in this situation.

Oh God Please let this shot go in

[cubbyvirus00]

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?

 

 

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.

 

Look, I think refs suck too. I just think the argument is weak, and it's a pet peeve of mine. High school coaches complain about it. I mean, if team A travels 15 times a game, that doesn't mean team B should be called for some to "even it out".

 

Travels and fouls are completely different. I mean I understand the Heat have 3 skilled position players....but we have a MVP player and he still struggles to get favorable calls on a contact drive.

[Mike Aller]

Surprised they called that.

[Derwood]

I have no faith in this possession being anything but a wild 25 foot jumper at the buzzer

[USSoccer]

Two straight horrible plays by Rose

[Careless]

why did that just happen? Why?

[kujay]

Wow that's insanely stupid. Just ridiculously stupid.

[Magnetic Curses]

what was that?

[Flames24Rulz]

Horrible.

[E.J.]

That was sweet. Nice play.

[squally1313]

I'd give my next paycheck to hear a recording of what went on in that last huddle before Rose did that.

[bcl412]

Last second isolation and chuck a shot. Every coach calls this every freaking time. I really hope we can win but I really don't like our chances in OT.

[Mark Priors Calves]

c'mon thibs! that was awful. at least set-up one screen and some back side motion.

[NonProfitCow]

That call was, well, generous.

[Sammy Sofa]

Rose is [expletive] sucking so unbelievably hard these last 3 games.

[E.J.]

I'd give my next paycheck to hear a recording of what went on in that last huddle before Rose did that.

 

"I want to see lots of crossover dribbles and then a wild shot."

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah, when everyone in the building thinks that the star player is going to shoot it. i really wish they'd use him as a decoy and get the ball to a shooter who nobody is guarding.

 

anyway, bulls should go at bosh and try to get his 6th foul. with wade playing like crap that would put miami in a big hole.

[cubbyvirus00]

I hope I'm wrong but I believe that'll be game over. We get a break on the offensive foul only to have the MIA MVP airball another fallaway jumper.

 

:banghead: :banghead: :-k #-o

Thibs: "Play tougher defense, move your foot against your man, rotate to pick-up the open man. Oh yeah, and Derrick go just a one-one 22 footer against a guy 5 inches taller than you."

[Billy_Buck]

Well, we had at least one shot at this one. Here's hoping we get another in OT.

And if the shooter misses, then we get to hear every commentator/journalist/stupid fan complain about how your star player didn't take the last shot. Not saying you are wrong, just that basketball, and a lot of people around it aren't very smart.

[squally1313]

Noah looks completely gassed.

 

We need to go after Bosh and his 5 fouls.
