That wasn't a travel. That was a step back jumper. You are allowed to jump and land with both feet to shoot or make a pass. That was not a travel.
Another day another poorly officiated game. I only wish something could be done about it. The 6th foul on Lebron is NOT a call you make in that situation, the shot clock mess?? I can go on and on. The league should apologize to both teams and all the fans for that kind of effort from the crew.
Sad is the day when Knick fans are telling Heat fans they got jobbed because of terrible officiating. Never thought Id see the day
I'm not even sure what this means in context to the game. We somehow fouled an abnormal amount late because they had an early 11-0 lead even though it was tied/close the entire fourth?
I'm usually pissed after a loss like this but It saddens me that I'm not. The refs took the game over and never looked back. I'm not saying the outcome would have changed either. It's all the stoppages that dissrupt the flow of the game on ticky tac stuff. It's not any fun to watch.
If it makes you feel better I wanted the Knicks to smack the taste out of the Pacers mouth then shove a boot down their throats out their bums. I hate the Pacers WAY more than the Knicks. Knicks arent dirty, Pacers dont belong in the NBA.
We had a 6 point lead in the 3rd and had leads late in the 4th. Bosh simply has not been allowed to play defense in this series while Hibbert can do whatever he wants. It's ridiculous. Tonight the officiating was atrocious. It wasn't just the number of fouls called but who got them. LBJ is only in position to foul out because of a laughable offensive foul with 2 seconds left in the first half.
In order to raise the funds required we are gonna have to bone a whole lot of obese women. And I need to see how strong your throwing arm and your fisting arm is. Because fat chicks.
You realize calling fouls like that naturally slows down the game which favors a low scoring team like the Pacers whose best offense is a rebound.
Even sadder, is Heat fans did the same thing to Knicks fans who were sent packing by the refs against this same team
It doesnt make me feel better but it did get a laugh which works as well. Eh the Pacers benefitted far more when lebron and bosh are in serious foul trouble all game imo.
Crawfords career should have been officially over after he asked Tim Duncan if he wanted to fight. Tim Duncan is like a giant friendly brontosaurus by NBA standards. Ejecting Timmy is proof hes a hot headed windbag.
Bosh is going to have a very hard time playing defense because he's significantly smaller than Roy Hibbert. Certainly there are bad calls against the Heat, but there were plenty against the Pacers too. The 24 second violation and the David West out of bounds play being two obvious ones.
Must know how Crawford hasnt been ambushed and beaten to death at this point. Yep, No reason why he should have kept his job after that. God what an ***.
I'm 99% sure the ball grazed Wests pants. Not the hand everyone was looking at. I'm also 99% sure you didn't even watch the game because you apparently saw none of the fouls on Bosh. Well no-one saw about 3 of them except the refs.
Be vewy vewy quiet, Im wooking for a bull**** weason to cawal a fawl. hehehhehheheehehehehheheheheheheheheh.
Some of these posts made me laugh. About Crawford. http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1dnvzp/true_or_false_joey_crawford_ruins_games/ Watch this clip. Im seriously laughing my *** off. I forgot about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wugrOmbsV3U
This one about Crawford is actually somewhat true...his father and brother were both baseball umpires. So in reality the crappy officiating of the Crawford family really does know no bounds.
When the Heat spotted Indiana 11 PTS they pretty much ceded any chance of playing with a lead in the first half. A close game is a slow game, and that means the ball is going to Hibbert or West, which means fouls for Miami.
Most of the fouls in this game were ticky tac touch fouls on Miami. Bosh got two phantom calls and Hibbert has hardly been called for the same reasons. That 11 point lead was erased very quickly and had nothing to do with Miami fouling them.
By the way, there was no travel on Wade. Watch the video. Chalmers bounce pass, pick up ball, dribble inside the 3 point line, pick up dribble, step back, pass. No travel whatsoever. [video=youtube;7nrFRnP_vcs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nrFRnP_vcs[/video]
Two years in a row.... The Miami Heat have a 2-1 lead ready to deliver a death blow to their opponent for a 3-1 lead in the EC Finals..... Two years in a row, they had leads going down the stretch.. Two Years in a row, Lebron James FOULS OUT in this very game.... Two years in a row, the officiating crew that did it was Joey Crawford's. The NBA put a hit out you guys...simple as that. Let's see if the NBA gives us Heat friendly referee Dan Crawford on this series.
I just don't understand a possible motive for why the NBA would put a hit out on Miami. Is the argument that the NBA is just dying for a San Antonio vs Pacers Finals? That they don't want the largest market and biggest stars in the Finals? Even if you argue that they want the series to go more games, if you believe the NBA would rig something for more TV ratings, wouldn't that also lead you to believe there is NO CHANCE they would let the Pacers win the series?
