Well, it appears there were numerous blown calls. Some went our way, too, but couldn't hit in FT.
We got one call the whole night,that game was some serious in bull , Leonard, Green, Manu, all got bogus fouls in the 2nd and had to sit.... AND GUESS WHAT IN HAPPENS... We play like offensively in the 2nd quarter and shock of all shocks, LeBron goes off in the 3rd cuz Leonard is out after getting called for grazing a thread on LeBrons jersey with his fignertip, ITS ING BULL AND IT WAS OBVIOUS AS , ING WWE LEVEL TONIGHT, RI- ING-DICULOUS
THE ING MAVERICKS SHOULD BE IN THE FINALS RIGHT NOW IF THE ING REFS DIDN'T RIGGED THE WEST SO THAT THE FAKE HUMBLE GUYS CAN WIN
Games like tonight just shows that the game has moved beyond the their ability to do their jobs without influencing the game. It's not a conspiracy. It's just human error in the NBA can have such a profound affect.
Na man. These human "errors" have cost the Spurs too many damn series... When was the last time Spurs got the better end of a ed up controversial call?
Typically the NBA is guided to get a high quality series, they wont blatantly rig a series for the most part, although it has happened, they usually just amke sure its 2-2 after 4 and let the teams duke it out with more fair reffing in the final 3.
Makes sense from a business standpoint and at the end of the day, this is a dream matchup for the NBA with the revenge and 3 peat storylines and they are already getting tons of drama with the AC and cramping thing, this is going 7, and i predict MONSTER ratings
What the living are you babbling about?????????????
You could be right... MIA was up 3-1 on Indy and Game 5 was the game Lebron was in foul trouble all game
but would the league risk a Heat 3peat for ratings? Adam Silver knows if LBJ loses one more finals he'll never be in the GOAT discussion.
Spurs ain't getting ref help these next 2 games. Why? Bill Kennedy, Ed Malloy, and Tony Brothers have yet to make an appearance
Worst officiated game all playoffs that I've seen.
Flopping by Wade and Chalmers was sickening. some of the awful momentum swinging foul calls on Manu, Kwahi and Green. I see 1 or 2 calls, but every call went Miami's way.
ing bull .
Reffing has killed this league period. It works out in the end for all teams getting the royal treatment at some point but that is what ruins it. Seems scripted...
Worst officiating of playoffs thus far.
Wait till they get in Miami. If you are angry now, you will see major homecooking.
Nobody is allowed to Defend LeBron. If you do, they will call fouls on you. Both games Leonard has been in foul trouble defending LeBron.
I dunno how the Spurs are going to deal with it. But, that's the reality.
Talking to a few die hard Laker fans myself, they also saw the atrocious inconsistent officiating. What's bad about it is the timing of these calls/no-calls, these bad calls always end up fueling a team's run or disrupting the opposing team's rhythm. These calls also go against our perimeter defenders who are our only shot in slowing down the Heat's perimeter game.
And this was in San Antonio! rofl the Spurs are gonna get ed by the officiating once again.
Refs didn't cause the missed free throws, the lack of offensive rebounding down the stretch, and a few key turnovers.
But they put us in position for those mistakes to matter (and allowed Miami to over the back us on every play), thats what people like you dont get, you can point to us doing somthing wrong cuz nobody is ever going to be perfect down the stretch but the fact of the matter is, we shouldve been up by 10 if the reffing was fair and your point would be moot
The three early fouls on Leonard and Green put Spurs defense on their heels early.
Exactly. The term isn't fixed, or rigged, but more controlled. The officials don't hand Miami a win, but they do control the conditions and the way the game is played. Putting the Spurs best 3 perimeter defenders in Leonard, Green and Manu in early foul trouble is an optimum environment for Miami to have an opportunity to win. The fact that the Spurs could have and probably should have been able to overcome that is irrelevant. That it requires them overcoming said conditions is ridiculous. Unfortunately it's not only happened countless times before and will again, but is completely obvious and predictable. If the Spurs are going to win this series, they will need to win the games decisively. Or bull will happen.
They put us in position for those mistakes to matter. Ok dude.
So Miami isn't allowed to game plan to take out Green and Leonard quickly by attacking the basket to start the game off? No one is forcing anyone to foul anyone else (unless you're Supernintendo Chalmers).
Lol, you didn't watch the game or you would know that those fouls were soft as , Leonard doesn't have foul trouble all year and has it two straight games, uh huh, yup reffing shouldn't be questioned, nothing fishy at all
Tim actually stopped himself from saying the officiating on Leonard was pure trash in his post game interview, it was that bad, he clearly was not pleased with the calls on him or Leonard
But that's why you need the nasty player who fouls and fouls hard. Lebron and wade want no part of contact, none of the heat players do. You need an enforcer. Blair would have done it. Tiago wont. Green wont. Kawhi wont. That's why none of these guys are ELITE. defensively you have to have an at ude or an edge that intimidates others. No one is intimidated by the weak 3 listed above. In-fact you see more AND ONES from those three than you do HARD FOULS.
Time for Baynes
I'll do it for 500k a year. Splitter wont for 9mil a year. That is why he sucks.
What was the best way to make the Miami/Indiana series go six games...perhaps 5 fouls on LeBron and 24 minutes played in GM 5? Nah...the refs have no control. Its totally legit.
You do know that if you constantly drive at someone, you'll get the call more often than not right? Doesn't matter if it's a soft as foul. Does anyone not remember Montae a few series ago? Same exact problem and hole in the Spurs defense!
Only P&A's blame the officiating
