Haslem looked pretty set to me.

Horseshit.

Out of the restricted area- Check
Beat Lowry to the spot- Check
Perfectly- Check

No way in hell that's a blocking foul

 

[bksballer89]

The refs made their decision as we saw throughout the first half that they will not allow Toronto to lose this game.

Toronto need to have a pretty big choke job to lose a game when they have a 3 man advantage

He gets that call if the game is in Miami. It's in Toronto....so yeah.

Have faith in the latter.

Some serious home cooking for Toronto referees

If you breathe on a Raptor player they are going to the line

Only on pace to shoot 42 free throws...most of them very weaksauce fake ones

MIAMI has a very legitimate beef.

I would be pissed.

Refs are calling a typical game favoring the home team.

How many wide open 3s have we missed?
That's why we're trailing.

21 free throw attempts to 9.

Miami is being called for breathing on Toronto. That's why we're losing. Miami is shooting 48%. Toronto is shooting 41%. The only reason they're winning is because of the ridiculous number of fts they're getting on shitty calls

I'm very pissed. Shooting 48% and down 6 because of one sided refs awarding bitch calls and flops by Lowry.

 

[Krispy Treat]

Raptors would be an easier match-up for LeBron. Typical NBA.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I felt bad for Wade.

He was in perfect defensive position over and over again...but he could not challenge shots even in the right spot.

You saw that there was no way he was getting any calls and would have picked up foul #3 or foul #4 even.

So, he had to bite his lip and waste good defensive position at least 4 times I counted.

This is really bad and completely one-sided officiating.

I am a neutral Spurs fan.

That one of McRoberts was beyond infuriating. Can't believe I'm saying this, but if Toronto advances, I'm hoping for Cleveland to pull that beat down. Fuck Toronto.

I agree the refs aren't helping, but I wasn't expecting them too.
This is the NBA.

Miami might be shooting 48%, but they've still missed a TON of wide open shots.
Its not what they are shooting, its if they made just 48% more of the easy, wide open shots they've missed, they'd be in front.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Not a good foul to make there.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Lowry taking over.

 

[Demonjoe93]

This is getting ugly.

 

[Demonjoe93]

I wonder what we would have to give the Raptors to get Biyombo. I like Humphries, but if we were to acquire Biyombo, I'd be okay with letting him walk.

 

[Malibu]

Heat fans complaining about the officials is just priceless. Were any of you Heat fans complaining when the Big 3 were together. Officials suck in every sport. Deal with it. Plus the game isn't over and maybe the Heat should get back on defense.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Heat grinding their way back in this.

 

[Demonjoe93]

LOL. What a terrible call. It's the fucking Playoffs, for God's sake.
