Damn, this is good coffee.

lol okay. There have been bad calls (especially that Ginobli one, but that was just hilarious), but Miami is going to the rim and getting contact a ton, especially LeBron, and it very often has not been called. This was especially true early when they fell way behind.

None of the bad foul calls against the Spurs have involved contact on a shot, so unless you think aggression should earn teams the benefit of the doubt after the fact I don't know what to say.

Also whining about officiating is the single most boring conversation in all of sports. If you genuinely think it's fixed then turn the loving TV off and go do something else.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Lebron complains after every drive to the basket, it doesn't necessarily mean he was fouled. I mean there was even one drive they replayed several times where the only contact was when he pushed his left arm over to screen away Kawhi's hands.

What were you guys just saying about these refs letting them get away with contact and being consistent?

Get hosed

if you watch that again look at the position of the ref who calls it, he's directly behind wade--like having the perfect angle on a stage-slap, it would have been a reasonable thing to call

to be fair, hacking the poo poo of lebron and hoping for the no-call is pretty much the only way to defend him in the paint

Flops are usually pretty obvious. If a player's head snaps back, it's a flop. That's not a natural reaction.

I feel like we're talking about different things. I was talking specifically about a bunch of no calls on LeBron. I don't think that makes the foul Wade drew on Ginobli good.

it's tough to read because it's usually less a complaint about the refs and more a half-hidden complaint that they aren't reffing poorly in favor of the right team
