One thing I have noticed is the ball. It's taken some weird bounces that would've went in with the old ball.
They're chanting, "Referees suck!!" Technical! Haha, they're getting so schooled right now, Wade and Shaq with 2 fouls apiece and it's still the first quarter, has indeed frozen over!!!

I don't care a lick as long as I never have to be reminded of this one thought:
Antoine Walker, NBA Champion
I haven't been watching, but down 20 on ring night is just so ing good...
I'm loving every bit of it.
Miami getting killed on ring night! priceless! They were a freaking fluke last year, not going to even make a splash this year
No need to worry, all the hot/cold *experts* and fans will be riding the Bulls' balls after tonight. I thought the Bulls would do better this year but DAAAAAAAAAAAANG (as Marv Albert is pronouncing, Luol Deng). Haha, technical on Wade.
hehehe. ing fans are quiet as on ringnite
at that fan in the crowd eating his ice cream quite as !
57-28 Bulls kickin ass. Dwyane Wade and Scott Skiles have T's.
Does that 15-tech rule apply to coaches, too?
This has got to be some kind of record for embarrassment of the defending champs.
By the way, that's a serious question. It just popped in my head when I saw Skiles picked up a tech.
Marv: "...this is embarrasing, championship ring night...."
Heat are has-beens minutes after getting their rings![]()
Hmmm, interesting question and for some coaches, a very important question. I wonder if there's a stat somewhere about how many techs were picked up by coaches last season or in seasons past.
Is it me or is that the old Spurs championship banners in the background?
poor guy...well, at least he matches the other three guys
Any mention on how he's actually doing?
I don't have the volume on.

Ernie Johnson, fighting cancer, returns to TNT studio
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- When Ernie Johnson hosts TNT's season-opening coverage of an NBA doubleheader on Tuesday night, he'll be just as bald as studio mates Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.
Six rounds of chemotherapy have left Johnson without his hair. But he said he feels fine and is ready to get back to work after taking four months off for treatment of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Johnson was diagnosed with the illness in 2003, but remained on the air until he felt his work was being affected because his jaw was noticeably swollen. He worked through TNT's coverage of the Western Conference finals, then skipped his usual summer responsibilities with the blessing of his bosses.
"When the summer began [they] said, 'Don't worry about doing golf, don't worry about doing college football,"' Johnson said. "'Focus on this, get better, if you can come back for basketball, welcome back.' There was never any pressure."
Johnson hadn't told Barkley or Smith about the illness until early last season, when he asked them if his appearance had changed much. He became convinced it had during All-Star weekend -- he said it "got uncomfortable to be on the air" -- and announced on the program the following week that he would get treatment after the season.
Johnson has had six chemo treatments, with another scheduled for Friday, and could have one more after that. Doctors told him he had shown an "excellent response to treatment" and he said he was touched by the amount of calls and e-mails he had received.
"There have been 100 people who have said to me this summer -- at least 100 -- they always want to know how Ernie's doing," Barkley said. "I was calling Ernie pretty much once a week just to check on him. And it's been so many people who wanted me to wish Ernie the best. It's been amazing."
