If the Heat win tomorrow, no matter what happens in round 2 I will consider this a successful season. If Bosh was here, I would have only been happy with making the ECF


Yep.
Anything after tomorrow is gravy.
I think we stand a decent chance vs either Toronto or Indy, but I'd say whoever has HC would be favored for that reason.

This is exactly why Richardson/Winslow play even when they struggle on offense.

Typical whining Miami Heat.

I don't blame them at all. It's the only way to have refs officiate series differently. Lin was getting calls like he's Lebron James. Kemba is a flopper. He does not that stupid head snap back which the refs always falls for.

Kemba disappoints me because he doesn't need to earn that reputation.
He's an amazing talent.

Yeah I always liked him since UCONN but his flopping is annoying. Last night the refs fell for it less but still called more than they should have IMO. The flopping move I hate the most is that damn head snap back like you just got hit so hard.

There should be an punishment for refs who miss obvious flops

The refs should just assume everything is a flop and not give him or the other obvious floppers the benefit of any call unless they physically have their eyes glued to the play.

I heard a suggestion on flopping that could work. Instead of fining the flopper a few days later and a lot of times after they benefited from the foul call... make it a technical foul. That way the flopper and his team are punished in game. I think it would help stop it.

Since it worked last game, I'm picking the Bee's again.

Outside of the Spurs and Cavs, I have picked Damn near every game, in every series wrong.

Let's hope the streak continues.

The game would be 6 hours long if they had to review every foul/charge to verify the flop.

losing a gm happens but getting completely outworked in a gm 7 is flat out unacceptable
