Heat vs Pacers ECF

[Ragingcroc]

Boy, everytime the Heat lose, yall get on here and start bitching about the refs but dont say a damn thing when the Heat win.

Do you even sports?

Another +20 complete mauling on the rebounds

Another "blame it on the referees" loss

I don't understand.

Its pretty crystal clear.

If Indiana imposes its will on the glass, they dominate.

if Miami keeps it close on the glass, they dominate.

I call bad calls when I see them. But to be honest, the 3 best players for Indy haven't all been a foul away from fouling out in any game this series, unlike the Heat.

To say this series has been called evenly is not intellectually honest. Every game has been suspect on both ends of the floor, as there hasn't been any semblance of consistency in what's being called.

I think it will all come down to how the Pacers can handle the Heat coming at full speed... If they can slow them down and out rebound the Heat by double digits they can pull it out... Miami must play with some fire our they may be out... I just wonder what happens when they play a team that plays like the Pacers but can score... The Spurs are not an easy win if they get by Indiana that is... Great series thus far...

No, I dont even sports.

Actually I looked at it again. Hibbert hit James on the head before any contqct was made. That is a foul on Hibbert!

The ref in back of Lebron made the call, that is why he made the WRONG one.

Might want to clean your glasses and look again!! Lebron created the contact, Hibbert went straight up!! Just because Lebron made contact with Hibberts elbow, doesn't mean he didn't create the contact!!

The defender is entitled to his place on the floor and to go straight up in the air, that's what Hibbert did!!

The refs were bad tonight mainly Tony Brothers but it is not the reason the Pacers won tonight.

I even have Knicks fan texting me about the refs....

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

It was a 50/50 call.

There has been far worse calls this series for both teams.

It was a bang-bang 50/50 call at full speed.

If we have to break it down frame by frame in slow motion, it no longer can be quantified as a bad call.

Nothing was obvious for either Lebron or Hibbert.

You know why they blame the refs, because they all thought this series would not go pass 5 which didnt make sense to me to begin with.

Truth be told, a no-call would probably have been the best call!!

Am I the only one that thought the referees weren't bad today?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I was one of them.

I predicted the HEAT would win in 5 games as well.

I also predicted 3 of the 4 HEAT wins would be blowouts.

So, I am just as surprised as the HEAT fans.

It has more to do with D-Wade and Bosh then anything Indiana did.

they are playing like NBDL players. Wade literally seems afraid to shoot.

If they gave anything at all, the series would be over in 5 games.

What year did the Pacers beat the Lakers in the Finals??

Right JD I was thinking of the Pistons.

My bad

Wade is at 75% at best. I give him a pass. He said since the Milwaukee series that his knee will not better until next season. Bosh is 100% and is playing like shit.

I don't think they were that bad....Tony Brothers was the only bad one IMO as he missed a few obvious calls.

I'd say the Pacers defense has a little to do with the disappearance of Wade and Bosh!!

To me, Miami looks like a tired team!! 3 straight finals appearances is tough to do!!

 

[bksballer89]

One thing I don't get is how LBJ gets called for a T for running down the court if he never said a word to the refs? Is there a rule stating that if you run down the court w/out saying a word to the ref that you're giving a T

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I might actually be rooting for the HEAT now.

The Spurs are insanely rusty now.
They will look like crap in game 1 after 10 days rest.

I would rather them gack away a "rust" game on the road...then lose a home game to "rust".

Home games are too precious.
The Spurs cannot afford to lose one.

They might as well get blown out in game 1 versus Miami to get back in rhythm.
They probably were not winning that game anyways.

I will give them credit for Bosh but not Wade. I f you've been watching the Heat all playoffs long, Wade been playing like this all playoffs long due to his knee.

Same reason a player gets t'd up for throwing his arms in the air after what they feel is a bad call!! You can't "show up" the refs and the NBA announced before the start of the season that those things would be called!!

Personally, I disagree with it. They need to be able to show some emotion, but it's what the league said they'd be doing and they have been pretty consistent about it!!
