time will tell...time will tell..

Wade with 14 so far...fact is the Mavs have no answer for him...I strongly believe if he was 100% for game 1 and 2 things may have been a little different.

 

[jcuadrado]

bah....

 

[chuckywang]

Uh...oh. C'mon Mavs!

 

[jcuadrado]

Yeah, Payton did actually travel before the shot, but they never call that in the nba anymore. Basically, Dallas choked. They had the game and let Miami back in it. Not sure how many open shots they missed, but they sure didn't make many in the last 5 minutes. Dirk clanking the FT was nice too.

From what i saw, the Heat got a small edge in the officiating, but not a game changing amount. The Mavs should have played better in the 4th Q.

I will admit that I'm close to making a tin foil hat every year in the NBA playoffs. Everytime a team gets down 2-0 in the finals they seem to get every borderline call in game 3. I wouldn't put it past Stern to make "suggestions" to the refs. The fact that Wade somehow coudn't foul out of the game even though he wasn't very careful always makes me wonder. Conspiracy theories will always thrive in the NBA when it is obvious to everyone that certain players get calls that other players don't. Especially when players, coaches and officials admit it. I have been courtside and heard refs tell rookies "you haven't earned that call yet".

i hate they over the court camera! they try to make it like a video game but it sucks! in a game you can always center on the ball, in real life you cant do that!

that was a very close one.......on the replay it looked like wade used his off arm during the spin. but even then, it was a 50/50 call, imo. the shaq one too. it looked like his feet weren't set, but that was with the slow mo replay. another 50/50 call imo. dallas got lucky and they need to capitalize w/ Miami's bigs in foul trouble

 

[jcuadrado]

laf....another foul...

 

[waggy]

sheesh

 

[waggy]

WTF this is insane. refs are calling anything against the heat.

 

[waggy]

ohh about time they call one on dallas.

 

[iamme]

thing is.....most of the calls were the right ones.

the refs shouldn't decide the game, but they can't sit idly while people are getting bowled over.
