Referees had money on this game 

Post#1 » by Grumpy Heat Fan » Thu Mar 28, 2013 3:03 am

Cause all I saw was the referees making the game tough on Miami. The Bulls mugged our guys, pushed...... even Kirk Hinrich mugged Chris Bosh at the end, look at the replay, Hinrich fouled Bosh and dragged him to the ground by his wrists....no foul call made.

But every single ticky tack foul was called against Miami. That Battier loose ball foul was a joke.

Chalmers nailed a 3 pointer and was pushed out of bounds and fell to the floor, no foul called.

LeBron was getting beat down out there, and I saw several Bulls players go for lebrons head.

Refs made sure the Bulls had the advantage in this game. Trash game.

Let it go man. Home team always gets more of the calls in the NBA. Refs are human.

(although the sequence at the end where they didn't call the flagrant when LeBron got hit in the head, then gave him one for hitting Boozer in the chest, was a joke, I can't defend that one)

They make enough...but NBA officials are the worst. They really allow the crowd to dictate how they officiate the game. Either the official has a giant ego and that's how he manages the game or he isn't an EGO guy and allows the crowd to force him to make certain calls. The NBA doesn't ask officials to answer to anyone, they don't get fired and they are protect like the prez. We just have to accept that as along as Stern is around, nothing will change.

They didn't make SPO put LBJ on Hinrich for whatever reason

LBJ always guards Deng, not sure what happened there
Stop being so disrespectful.

Stop the conspiracy theories and take the loss. They beat us fair and square, we got away with some calls too, it happens, move on. We had our shot to win it, but didn't do enough to do so.
