Yeah, DeRozan and Mayo are alright too. But overall we aren’t quite the pro factory that those damn Bruins are.

Not entirely sure, but that looked like a walk by Crawford on that oop.

@miamatt No it doesn’t, because it wasn’t a charge. Dude was in the air! Only the darlings get calls like that in crunch time.

Sour, sour grapes.

I mean, seriously, every team that loses can make this claim. It requires neither effort, intellect, nor guts.

“Falling down” has absolutely nothing to do with the definition of a charge. Being in position does. That charge gets called every time.

The refs have been helping out the refs for a while now but no refs can calm the Storm that is Kobe Bryant. Still ballin’

Loved Vucevic at USC and glad he’s balling in the NBA. There haven’t been a whole lot of Trojans that have been successful in the pros lately.

Reffing seemed fair most of the game but I agree that the Heat got all the calls at the end. The Battier drawn charge was BS. I’m a Heat fan and I know it was BS. Grown 250lb men don’t just fall down. They flop. As if Battier couldn’t have put a foot behind him to stay upright. Every guy you see hitting the ground is a flopper.

Poor choice of words in the title. When you say guys who got their team wins ON A NIGHT WHEN JEFF GREEN, LEBRON JAMES, AND KLAY THOMPSON HIT GAME WINNING SHOTS… well you look foolish when you choose Vucevic and Blake Griffin instead.

magicbucs,

One question. If his feet weren’t set, regardless of the severity of the collision, how can you say that he flopped? A body in motion, off-balance, doesn’t require much opposing force to be tossed about. Not arguing the call, but the flopping claim sounds pretty ridiculous, considering your stated viewpoint of the play.

That darn lebron James and those mangy refs. Wow! for those who didn’t see that game…. it was a gift from the refs and stern. Those foul calls and non calls where so obvious. The poor magic players would get mugged and no call, next play down the other end they have much less contact and get called for a foul. And that flop on Battier under a min to play should of been a no call or foul on Battier. His feet where not set and contact was minor..

3 magic players fouled out. Just so happened to be the 3 players that gave the heat problems.
Still a proud magic fan!!

Kobe is a monster! ballin’ hard…
…Glad to see Blake found his “left ball” after the Ibaka incident…
…and some european guy did as well. i’m kidding, good for Nikola getting the rare 20/20.

The refs save the Heat’s streak. How nice of them.
