having ESPN tell refs to review a shot
the worst i saw was when Shane Battier set a ridiculously obvious moving screen (and they even showed the replay a few times) and instead Manu got called for the foul for "running through the screen" when Ray Allen hit a jumper. Instead of the moving pick they let the jumper count and the foul. pathetic
Plz no more yankee Spur fan pompousness, just, plz.
Yeah ESPN telling the refs to review a shot was hilarious.
How much do you want to bet Stern has some nasty tricks up his sleeves for game 6?
THE NBA! EXCEPT THE SPURS!
Splitter charge on made basket
Battier holding Manu for the and 1
Parker travel
Diaw's face fouling Chalmers forearm
Diaw moving screen 94 feet away from the basket
Lebron tripping himself on Ginobili for 2 free throws
just off the top of my head
What about Chalmer's forearm/elbow to the side of Boris's face? Chalmers even called it on himself, and they still rewarded him with freebies.
D-Wade driving in for a layup and grabs Duncan with his left hand.
Joey Crawford, Scott Foster, and Bill Kennedy will be the refs in Game 6, to further give the Heat the best chance to push this to 7...but we shall still overcome all that BS.
Yeah some of the calls were surprising not because they weren't fouls but b/c they were so ticky tack (where does this phrase come from?). The series has been mostly called "no blood no foul" style, but there were some seriously cheap fouls being called in the second half.
Spurs are ed pretty much
truth bombs from ElNono. the officiating has been really bad. Not for the entire game, but they're stretches where it is flat out horrid, like several bad calls in a row, and in those stretches the Heat go on runs, every single time.
Fortunately Green and Neal have been amazing, whether it's a higher power, luck, talent, we certainly need whatever we can to overcome Stern's .
Funny, on the heat board they are the ones saying stern is fixing it in our favor and that the refs last night were terrible and we got all the calls.
I was listening to a sports radio show right after the game on Ticket 760. Some heat fan called in and said the refs screwed the heat with bad calls. unbelievable.
Go an Heat message board and they feel like the game was rigged in spurs favor.
- Leonard charge on Battier.
- Ginobili "euro-stepped" (aka traveled) a couple of times.
- James got hit on a couple of layup attempts that weren't called.
I still think it was slightly in favour of the Heat, but it wasn't all one way traffic.
There were ty calls on both ends but that parker travel was extra infuriating cause it was a move Wade does all the time

tbh both of the 4-point plays allen got were a result of the spurs not giving the shooter any room to land...that's gonna get called even if you are the home team. manu would have got one on way less contact if only he had made the shot, instead he just got 3 ft's and nailed them all.
Both true. My initial reaction to both was "Allen must have kicked his leg out", but both were fair fouls.
it. We won. Can't complain about a win in the Finals.
there was one where diaw got called an offensive foul for eating an elbow..
Thing is, while Miami fans may be right that refs ignored some calls on Spurs (these no calls were really the refs allowing both teams to play hard), Miami benefitted from the most weak/made up calls and got these calls at suspect times of the game. It was clear at times that the refs were keeping Miami in the game because their calls came in stretches....which as mentioned coincided with runs. Miami fans complaining just don't realize while refs allow teams to play at times (this is where Heat fans think Spurs get away with fouls), Spurs never benefit from a string of wtf calls home or away, so they need to keep their mouths closed.
