Miami’s still getting obvious ref favoritism, but (outside of Wade) they’re letting them play more than normal, and it’s completely fucking with James’ game. He’s so used to getting bailed out EVERY SINGLE TIME, that now that they’re actually not just granting him ft’s every time he bulls his way to the bucket, he doesn’t know how to play. He’s being exposed as the overrated “golden child” that he is. Every generation the league manufactures a new “chosen one”. James is this generations “it”. He just plain doesn’t have the game or the will of his predecessors, and without CONSTANT ref bailouts, it shows.[/quote]
This is why ive been saying FOREVER that James can and never will be Jordan’s match. If he played back in the early 90’s in an NBA where you had to get hit HARD to get to the line, it would completely expose the holes in his game. He builds so much of his attack around the fact that in today’s watered-down league, he will get the call if there is ANY contact, or guys will be to scared of the foul to really contest.
Also, if you dropped both Durant and James back into the 80’s/90’s NBA, Durant would far outshine James.
That makes two of us. He’ll never be Bryant’s either. I’ve never liked James game. He’s obviously phenomenally talented, but the amount of shit he’s given and is allowed to get away with is ridiculous. He epitomizes everything wrong with this generations basketball. It’s not about the game anymore, it’s about the show.

Its not just that the NBA caters to him and gives him so much, its the fact that he knows it, LOVES it, and 100% RELIES on it. Yet people will come on here and act like im a douche for not liking Lebron as both a person and a player. Jordan and Bryant are the true embodiment of championship mentality and competitive spirit, Lebron is a baby who likes it handed to him.

Anyone else think this series is fixed to go 7 games? Watch lebron score 30+ points and the heat win by double digits tonight.[/quote]
Oh definitely. I dont think its by mistake that no one has won two games in a row. I also find it curious that one game the heat are so heavily favored by the refs, and then the next its pretty much fair.
I fully expect the refs to enable the heat to win tonight.
Fucking Leonard, making that free throw would have ended the game. The dude was clutch at SDSU from the line, but he sure seems to be shaky in the playoffs. That plus the Spurs inability to get a defensive rebound. Heat are going into overtime with momentum and will probably force a game 7.
What a frustrating game…Spurs fucked it up, regardless of poor reffing. Manu needed to play better, Parker took some real fuckin selfish shots that just made no sense. Leonard missing that FT…God fucking dammit.
How the fuck did they leave Lebron open for 2 threes in a row? WTF
Refs again handing the Miami Heat a win. Two big fouls late by the Miami Heat and no calls. Ginobli was hacked, and Greene was body checked by Bosh. What a load of crap.

None of that should even matter. Fucking Spurs couldn’t finish it. Pisses me off so bad. One rebound or made free throw!!!

I agree with you, but in close games refs should not be the deciding factor, which they missed a couple of calls under 40 secs left in the game of which benefited one team.
With that loss the Spurs have to be feeling dejected and will lose game 7. After that shit, how the hell do you even play again this year. I couldn’t get past that loss. I know they are veterans but who will step up. Duncan isn’t going to play any better than he did tonight. Green was shut down and Ginobli was -21 when he was in. Parker’s shooting was God awful…

As an LAL fan, I can’t exactly complain.
But damn they make this shit too obvious.

Yeah. In a game that close, (missed) calls like that are inexcusable.
Im more angry at Popo and the Spurs though. Running the same fucking play the entire 4th when it clearly wasnt working? Parker trying to force his selfish ass hero shots and miserably failing…Manu being a huge liability…No fucking ball movement…Hard to believe the NBA’s (possibly) best coach was behind that one.
They handed Miami the fucking game. Yes im bitter cause i hate Miami but you cant deny that Spurs had that game and gave it away.

Bro, right there with you. I cannot stand the Heat. The whole team has that I am the shit attitude and it’s fucking annoying. This is just like the Eastern Conference Finals last year with Miami and Boston. Boston was up 3-2 and had the game in their control near the end of the 4th and lost it. Then lost game 7. I don’t even want to watch game 7…
