Buh-bye, then...you always were a crybaby , tbh.
This, right here, is why I quit watching the NBA. And it just made me decide that I'm not watching it next year, either. It's also the reason why we'll be playing the Heat in the Finals, and why we have very little chance of winning it all this time. Anybody who says that the league isn't biased is deluding themselves.
If you're not watching Game 5 of the ECF, watch the Youtube video below. Birdman took a cheap shot on Hansbrough, then turned around and escalated things by getting in Hansbrough's face, and then shoved the out of him. Just a few days ago, Nazr Mohammed shoved LeBron EXACTLY the same way, and he got ejected for it. And Nazr didn't commit the cheap shot first, either. Instead of ejecting Birdman, this play wound up with a double technical call on Birdman AND Hansbrough. We can argue about blocks/charges, or any other judgment calls, forever. But there's no debate about this call. When someone does it to Miami, it's an ejection. When Miami does it to someone else, it's just a tech, and the other team gets one too.
The Pacers were still up by 4 at the half, but the refs have taken over the third quarter, and the Heat players have that look on their faces, like they know the fix is in. Get ready to face the Heat, and the zebras, in the Finals. I'm going to follow the Spurs through the Finals, just because I have so much history. But after that, the NBA.
Buh-bye, then...you always were a crybaby , tbh.
the refs, you knock down shots you still win.
to be fair. If BigBird would have been ejected in the 2nd, Haslem would have started tearing Pacers asshole earlier.
I like the Spurs' chances against the Heat..........in a fairly officiated series.
He has a good point though. The calls are all over the place. Can we have some sense?
Miami just doing a "Memphis" on another team with only post scoring. They can't D us up like that.
I'm really losing faith in the officiating of the NBA. For the world's best league there are far too many outright wrong calls being made and favourable treatment of certain teams.
They really ed up this game
Preemptive excuses are my favorite flavor of exscuse
The Pacers really aren't that good. Their best ball handler is Paul George. Their first guys off the bench wouldn't be on our roster (Hansborough / Augustin).
"Kobe didn't play in the Spurs-Lakers series"![]()
Spurs will deal with Birdman I'm certain. He'll be put to bed if he tries a stunt like that against Duncan & co.
That wasn't preemptive, it was after the fact.
Okay.. thats surely an ejection and surely the refs got it wrong.
But to say that this game was rigged against the Pacers aint right at all. Their defense was not upto mark in the 3rd quarter and less said of their offense, the better. George Hill had a bad game.. and his backup DJ Augustin should be actually playing alongside Johnny Flynn in Australia and not in the NBA. Such a pathetic backup!
The Pacers are a top-heavy team and if the Heat's backups get going like Haslem (and to an extent Norris Cole not to mention Ray Allen did), they generally are toast.
It is just a surprise as to how they are just 2-3 in the ECF playoffs so far.
You guys are idiots, ball goes off of Le , refs call it Heat ball, Ray Allen hits a 3 and its all over from there.
of course it's rigged
You decided not to watch NBA yet here you are crying? Makes perfect sense.
After review he could possibly get suspended for that.
Pretty much, the ref was right in front of the play, saw everything clear as day, chose to ignore it and give the ball back to MIA. Indiana was making a comeback up until that point, that one call changed the whole momentum of the game.
This is the same team that got away with a flying elbow to Stephenson's head without any penalty at all, there wasn't even a foul called. No way Anderson gets suspended.
the refs made Lebron go ape
the refs made Haslem go Ibaka on them
Once again, I don't really think this can be attributed to any bias. Pacers get a ton of calls, have all season.
What needs to happen is for the head honchos and officials to get their together: there is no sense of consistency in the officiating. Rough play is ignored, while ticky-tack fouls are called all the time. Lebron fouled out in game 4 on what was indeed a foul, but players get away with that kinda thing constantly.
In short, the refs seem clueless, not in on some conspiracy.
