Around the 'Shoe

First 2 games of the series the Thunder shot more free throws than the Heat. The next 3 games the Heat shot more free throws than the Thunder. The home team always plays more aggressive therefore gets more calls. Every offensive player driving to the hole initiate the contact so does that mean every single championship is fixed? For every bad call you say went against the Thunder I can show one where the Heat got the short end of the stick, does that mean its fixed? No of course it doesn't. If its fixed why not 7 games? Why wasn't last year fixed or is it only fixed when the Heat win?

fix is in all yer

Seriously Derek Fisher has never committed a foul in his whole career if you go by his reactions ( seriously this is the worse guy you could have picked for your argument) so just stop it. Did you not watch the first half last night? The Thunder got every single call so again stop it. So he shot jumpers in traffic, does that mean he got fouled? no its a freaking jump shot. I don't recall any Thunder playing getting clubbed in the head so please remind when this happened ( your making it up to fit your hatred). How many times did Perkins put his arm in LeBrons gut last night on layups with no foul calls? Wade first to the floor and Harden flops on him ( he is known for this) and its his 3rd foul? seriously the calls went both ways like it or not it happens in every game, every series, every championship won so just let it go.

I am not a Heat fan I am a Lebron supporter but my life is not affected by him winning or losing like but hurt Cav fans but anyway Fisher got fouled on a layup ok what about the elbows to Lebrons midsection from Perkins last night? Those are fouls correct? So its 1-1 on missed calls right now. Oh and BTW kicking your leg out to draw contact is not a defensive foul Steve Javie talked about this on ESPN after the game but of course you know more about fouls than professionally trained officials right?

Anything Harden did is irrelevant. He was either in on the fix, or first in line for the WORST 6th man in HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim Donaghy was a professionally trained official so i guess all those calls made in the Lakers/Kings series were all correct right? Nevermind the +18 differential to the Lakers, those were 100% correct cause he's a professionally trained official. Duncan's technical for laughing was as accurate and necessary as could be when Joey Crawford T'd him up for laughing with his teammates WHILE sitting on the bench. Yeah you're right, professionally trained officials all know the most, hell they don't even make wrong calls on occasion. Next time i see a foul not called maybe i'll go to the thinking of "the ref didn't call it so it's not a foul, no ifs ands or buts. They are always correct"

I understand what your saying but if you watch all the times Lebron gets held trying to cut to the ball but that is never called unless it excessive or the arm gets extended. One thing I think should be changed the out of bounds play where guys can literally shove the guy to get the ball everyone does it and I honestly think those are fouls.

But to your credit its hard to officiate Lebrons post up because there is contact from both ends

So what your basically saying is the NBA is fixed because Lebron got a ring? Why didn't Stern let Lebron get one last year? Oh that's right its only fixed when Lebron and the Heat win but if they lose they suck and Lebron choked. I guess this is how Cavs fan rationalize things these days.

Cavs fan rationalization "it's only fixed when Lebron and the heat win"...yeah ok, i just posted that the Lakers/Kings series(not the NBA as a whole) was fixed a few posts down. Guess that rationalization is a little bit off isn't it cause i'm a Cavs fan and i said a completely different series was fixed isn't it?

Hey if you want to believe that then go right ahead, i've heard plenty of different point of views who aren't cavs fans and have no affiliation to the cavs or Cleveland whatsoever who say the same exact thing that most of us were saying that it wasn't officiated evenly. We're not gonna agree on this and that's perfectly fine, you stand in your position cause i'm definitely standing in mine. "But hurt" Cavs fan huh? I dislike Lebron and do root for him to fail but don't mistake dislike for being "butt hurt." Last year was a joy watching him fail and America loved it as well. I talked shit to my Miami friend last year about it. He was surprised not to hear from me all year about the Heat anymore even through the hard times they went through because it doesn't do a thing to affect my life one bit. The Heat won last nite and i didn't lose not even a second of sleep over it and i even called my friend and congratulated him. This is a message board so i debate on a numerous range of topics here. So if disliking someone or something means you're butthurt then your ass better not dislike anyone or anything. You better think Michigan, Wisconsin, and SEC teams are a great thing and not root against them one bit. After all, sports hatred should be a myth right?

That's true but i've heard analysts on tv insinuate the same thing but not fully come out and say it. Don't have to have a comparison because it's sports hatred as a whole regardless of how you got there. Lebron is without a doubt the best player in the league and i as a Cavs fan can say that but that's not gonna mean i'm going to like him or have to like him one bit. And yes i'm more than ready to see one of the greatest coaches of all-times take field with the Buckeyes cause it's gonna be great

Wanna know how I know the NBA is a joke?? Steve Nash has two MVPs so LBJ having three means nothing. LBJ may be hated but he's not nearly as hated as Kobe in the states while overseas Kobe is without question the largest sports figure in the world. Lebron is mentioned in rap songs and popular amongst a lot of youth who know very little about loyalty in sports. I feel Cleveland fans. As a Buckeye fan we all should. Hell I see people go stupid if we lose a recruit to scum. Imagine if Jim Tressel left tOSU to go coach up north.

Im pretty sure Shaq has 0 MVP's. Thats a JOKE!
