Hahahahahahahaha. Really? So the heat have to continuously get many less fouls for the game to be fair? Wow, you really are a delusional idiot. Obviously you dont watch the games and only catch the highlights on SC.

Thanks, that’s very helpful. Now go watch game 3 and help David Stern with the ratings.

Actually, you said something idiotic. The Heat are the dirtier team, and are more likely to foul. I’m sure there is plenty of historical precedent for this too. Game 2 was 25 FTA to 26 FTA–almost even, meaning that the the foul calling was still leaning in favor of the Heat. If you want to use your brain and discuss a topic like a rational human being great, but if you’re looking for knee jerk reactions and ‘idiotic’ posts I would just suggest re-reading your own stuff.

How you derived “trash-living translates into champions” is beyond me. Maybe you should read it. Except this time, have a thesaurus handy.

Shock dude….read your linked-in piece….you’re an idiot. Only gangsta mind set’s can rule? Do you honestly believe that only trash-living translates into champions?

OKC took more trips to the foul line in both games. You might want to actually watch the game or atleast do some research before posting idiotic comments

There’s only one stat you need to look at in Heat games–trips to the foul line. FTA in the box score. If the game is called fairly the other team has more, if the game is slanted in the direction of the Heat the free throws are either even or the Heat have more. And that’s exactly how the first two games played out.

The reffing was terrbl. Granted Westbrook and Durant have great quickness to the cup, as do James and Wade (at least for part of the game). OKC is grabbing, sliding and pushing all of the time, as good professionals should. So is Miami, but not to the same degree. Miami was not getting the calls last night. Sure maybe one or two, but for the most part Perkins, Ibaka and Westbrook were grabbing and pushing constantly. It was never called. When you see Wade or LeBron drive, watch them get derailed. THATS A FOUL! You can’t grab. Perkins moves his screens 2, 3, 4 or more times on a single encounter. YOU CANT DO THAT!

I agree you gotta let em play, and the reffing is better now because of it, but you gotta keep the game fair and even.

I actually see it as the opposite. In both games the Heat thoroughly outplayed OKC in the first half. Yet their first half leads did not reflect how badly they outplayed OKC. Miami coasted somewhat and took plays off when they should have been driving a stake through OKC’s heart. They left the door open for an OKC second half comeback, which happened twice.

Come on Kurt, Westbrook and Durant aren’t to blame. Its the Miami defense they should be blaming. OKC hasn’t faced a defense of this caliber during the playoffs. The Heat are applying the pressure and giving them different looks. I saw Battier guarding Perkins at one point and Shane held his ground. Ill give it up to OKC they always fight back. 18 to 2 start is just too tough to make up. Now the series heads back down to Miami. Big opportunity for Miami. LETS GO HEAT!

Comebacks are great. The fans get into it. It adds something special to the “experience” of attending an NBA game for your favorite team. But if you’re relying on the other team’s inability to seal-the-deal, instead of your own ability to go out and take the game from the onset, you’re not going to win a 7-game series.

I admit I’m rooting for OKC in part because I’m not a LeBron fan, but if they keep getting off to slow starts, they won’t prevail.

What would happen to Russell Westbrook if he played with Magic, Bird or Jordan and “was not facilitating his teammates” http://clicky.me/793y
