Is anyone else worried....
Is anyone else worried that once the playoffs start, the Cavs and C's will get ALL the calls making it impossible for us to beat either of them?
I mean c'mon, think about it. We all can agree that a rematch of the Cavs and C's in the Eastern Finals would bring the NBA much better ratings than either Orlando/Cavs or Orlando/Cs. Is anyone else worried that if/when we play either Cleveland/Boston or both, that they will get ALL the calls?
And I think its pretty sad that fans of a sport have to worry about this. What ever happened to fair officiating?

No, because nobody ever gets all of the calls.
Plus, you get a perceived "advantage" of calls by playing more intelligently aggressive than the other team.

Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Re: Is anyone else worried....
In the playoffs everybody presumably plays intelligently aggressive.
I think that the refs could be cause for concern, but that they don't need to be. If we can open big leads in the first quarter like we've done all season, I think we can earn ref respect early on in the game. We'll have to be careful with touch fouls on the stars, because refs WILL call those every time.

But they don't, and that's why they don't get the calls. You can't play aggressive in spurts, it must be a full time thing.
Officiating can be a factor, but the style of play has a great deal to do with it.

Even so, if Courtney Lee plays intelligently aggressive defense and Dwyane Wade plays intelligently aggressive offense, the star is going to get the call 80% of the time in the playoffs. It is something to worry about---however, lest it be forgotten, we do have stars of our own.

I dunno...maybe we (Dwight) may start getting more calls as the NBA can't be blind as to Howard's popularity (see all-star voting), on court improvements and commercial value.

Very true and, might I add, the NBA is the only professional league in which I worry about this (and I follow pretty much EVERY sport).

I think that it is a big concern for the magic.
It is really sad that this is the only sport that it concerns me in.

this is why we need to win the top seed! Win the top seed and we won't face either of them till the Conference Finals.

we should be concerned but not worried, if we just play our game everything should work itself out.

I'm worried that if we were to play either the Cavs or Celtics in the playoffs and lose, a lot of people here would blame it on the refs no matter what.
