well played Stern, well played

[BRHornet45]

sons as I predicted since the conference finals started both the Thunder and Heat ended up in the finals and both series went at least 6 games. Stern and his crew did an incredible job of milking both series for as much money as possible and getting the end result of Thunder vs Heat. I mean for the love of God the NBA's official website was already posting the finals matchup hours ago ...

both from earlier today ...

Particularly in the Eastern Conference these stats were the difference maker in a 7 game series ...

Personal Fouls

Miami - 147

Boston - 170


Free Throws

Miami - 188

Boston - 158

:lol Wait..

Miami only had 30 free throws more than Boston, for the entire series??..

The Celtics, the 27th ranked team in the NBA at reaching the FT line?:lol:lol..

:lol BR doesn't even know how to use his own stats, tbh..

Sons, you need a new gimmick, take a break for a few months like Harlem did, tbh..we all go stale at one point..

[DeadlyDynasty]

30 more FTA and 23 more fouls over 7 games?! Say it ain't so!:wow

[BRHornet45]

LMAO at anyone who thinks the free throw and personal foul differential had nothing to do with this series! sons at least half of the Heat's free throws tonight were nothing more than phantom/superstar calls that would never be called for anyone other then LeBron and Wade. those 30 extra free throws that were handed on a silver platter to the Heat is what won them the series. of Miami's 188 total free throws I can guarantee you that at least 25% of them were phantom calls.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I can guarantee you that at least 25% of them were phantom calls.

Let's see it.

[russellgoat]

son, do you think bradley will get screwed tonight?

[BRHornet45]

Let's see it.

son all you have to do is look at anytime either LeBron or Wade drove to the lane and either pushed off or charged (like they do every single time) and at least half of those were awarded freebies.

[BRHornet45]

regardless sons I won $1,500 on the game tonight. it was easy money because the NBA is extremely predictable in situations like this. however as ridiculous as it may sound I would have rather lost that money and had to eat my words just to see the legit and better team actually win for a change.

[AussieFanKurt]

No one wants to believe the truth, back in 2002 they made it too obvious but they have learned and now its subtle

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol can't provide any proof..
:lol Boston only 30 less FTAs than Miami, despite being 27th in the NBA, this season..

:lol Heat fans should be angry about the officiating in this series, tbh..

when the truth benefits you obviously you'll be oblivious to it, it's okay I understand

[BRHornet45]

lol Harlem you're being cute tonight

only 30 less FTA's

lolzzz

[HarlemHeat37]

My nigga..

Your Pastor Manning shtick was nice..your WNBA shtick was weak..your original NBA rigged/Stern/refs shtick was solid, but has become weak, since Stern has GM'd the Hornets to potential greatness, and gave us an evenly officiated Boston-Miami game 7..your Kobe/Duncan are overrated shtick is still nice, tbh..

Everybody has their ups and downs, regarding shticks..it's not easy to maintain a solid shtick when you're on top, tbh, as Harlem would know, he's gone bland at times, too, tbh..

It's time to re-load, tbh..

[pass1st]

lol Harlem you're being cute tonight

Son, pay no heed to a frontrunner

[TampaDude]

Heat didn't need the refs tonight, but make no mistake, they are always lurking.

MIAMI HEAT = 2012 NBA CHAMPIONS

[BRHornet45]

sons as I stated a few days ago for the OKC vs Miami finals I believe that Stern will have his crews control games 1-5 to ensure that the series goes to at least 6 games to milk it for as much money as possible and then they will allow the players to decide the winner.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol If BR says that games 1-5 will be altered by refs, expect an evenly officiated stretch, tbh..his predictions have been awful..

[ducks]

sons boston kepted fouling james
james was off tonight on jame shops
without those calls james chokes out

:lmao never gets old, tbh..

[dunkman]

LeBron particularly and Wade drive a lot. The only way to prevent a dunk is fouling. On the other side Pierce also drives but not as much as LeBron and the Heat defense often block the Celtics players without fouling.

The refs didn't influenced the result of the game 7, as was the case with the WCF. Besides LeBron and Wade, Bosh also played excellent, and Batier and Chalmers too. The Celtics gave good fight though, they deserved to advance too.
