Comparing Barea to Derrick Rose? Wow probably the most ridiculous comparison of the playoffs.[/quote]
Haha, Darrel Armstrong calls him “The Puerto Rican Allen Iverson”.
Does anyone else feel like that 1st half went by in like 5min?
White how u gonna say chandlers forarm to wade wasn’t a foul but chalmers hand-off was a foul?

Yeah, very exciting first half. Terry and Dirk offsetting each other…LBJ comes out looking huge then fades into the distance again. Fascinating series.

Y’all are ridiculous. There were SEVERAL blatant Miami-favored calls playing in Dallas. Not saying Dallas didn’t get their share of favorable calls, but Miami has gotten significantly more.[/quote]
There were several bad calls each way. The ones in favor of MIA stick in your head more because that is what you are watching for.[/quote]
No, it’s because there were more of them to see. This is really not that difficult to understand.[/quote]
Read my other post - “simple to understand” has nothing to do with whether your statements are factually correct (they aren’t)[/quote]
I’m not gonna keep arguing with you like a retard, but you’re wrong. As TommyG pointed out Dallas was in the penalty basiclly the entire 3 games ON THEIR HOME FLOOR. Wade gets more phantom calls than anyone, maybe in history and that’s not hyperbole. I can list endless examples. Again, Dallas definitely got their share of calls, but Miami got more.
sick commercial with all the nba guys
The team that wins points in the paint/rebounds almost always shoots more free throws, it’s the nature of the game(means you’re taking less jump shots, getting more offensive boards, more shots involving contact). Miami has ‘won’ both of those stats in every game but 1, oddly enough that 1 game was game 2, the only game they have gotten more FTA’s than Dallas.
Game 3 wouldn’t have been close at all if Dallas didn’t shoot 40 from the line(the game they were 'always in the penalty).
FWIW I think that’s the only game I felt the officiating was really ‘favoring’ a team, and Miami won it anyways.
Alley oop to Mahimi? Ha

Yeah game 3 was called atrociously in Dallas’ favor if that’s the game I’m thinking of where every rebound was a loose ball foul on MIA
Marion just Harlem Globetrottered his way around 3 defenders then doesn’t even hit the rim on an open layup? How many layups has Marion missed these Finals? It’s honestly gotta be close to 10.
I’ve been watching Jason Terry play since his Arizona days with Mike Dickerson, Miles Simon and Mike Bibby and never realized until this series how right handed he is. He does almost nothing going left.
Dallas absolutely can not miss from 3.
Is LeBron suited up tonight or is he sitting?
These missed FT for MIA are absolutely ridiculous.
This looks like it’s going to be Dallas’s night.

He just missed another ft. He did actually do something with his back to the bucket for maybe the first time in his career. Mahini at the buzzer!
Given how Dallas has closed games this series, Miami needs a serious 4th quarter to push this to 7.
Lebron has been invisible since that opening 4 minutes, Wade having a bad shooting night, and Bosh is semi-going off but they’re not getting him the ball often enough to really blow up.

Yeah I saw that…was actually impressed he called for a repost after he passed it out once. I’d be surprised if it happened again
If James has ANY heart at all we’re about to find out.

Can’t believe I’ve never noticed this… I typically watch for this and go off about guys who do it. I’ll pay closer attention.

Think Marion was as shocked as we were.
Wow, did you guys hear that interview with Spo to start the 4th? He sounds like a guy who is exasperated and completely out of coaching answers - like he knows the only thing that matters is if his players decide to care. Interesting.
