NBA finals thread.

A travel in the NBA could be called every other possession. I would have preferred the refs called a travel then swallowing the whistles. I just don't know how no call is made when you could call more then one thing. The Bosh block was a foul in most instances as well since the player must have a place to land.

I don't think there is a conspiracy. I have never said that. I think refs just sucked in that last minute and that's disappointing after they called the whole series pretty good. On the Lebron fast break where some people think Green fouled him the refs said the ball went out off of Green when it clearly went out of Lebron. Thankfully instant replay got that one right.

If these calls happened to the Heat that game and they lost would you be mad?

Okay, about the manu play. First off, what you see is that there was contact, and that automatically justifies that there should have been a foul. However, what you fail to see is that there was a travel on the play, and what the refs have to do is see which one came first. THIS IS A SUPER TOUGH CALL. Honestly, both the spurs and heat probably committed either a foul or a travel on that play. Let's see what the refs could do in that scenario (assuming they can do all of this in a split second). No call and the spurs fans are pissed off that they didnt get the call. Call a foul and the heat fans are pissed off because there was a travel.

Sure, there were missed calls, I'll give you that. But overall, it was a good officiated game. Are you really calling a conspiracy on this. That's absolutely ridiculous. Saying the NBA is rigged because of this is pathetic. Let's even take a look at Bosh's play. Bosh clearly got all ball, but pushed him down low and probably didnt allow him space to land. That's a foul. However, if you're saying the nba is rigging this for the heat, why didnt the refs bail lebron out? On his two turnovers, lets just look at danny green's fastbreak d on lebron. Why didn't they just call a foul? That would have bailed them out.

Overall, it was a great game by the two best teams.

Well I was 8 when Magic was a rookie and follwed his whole career.He won alot.But since 96 is actually an impressive fan in todays sports.Most have been fans only when they got Shaq

You know....some fans may not know those guys cuz they played in the early to mid 90s.

I myself started watching the heat in 1996 but I was only 9 years old.

Anyways....the Heat are the most successful basketball franchise in the last 8 years, winning 3 World Championships.

I would say that YEAH, that's winning a lot.

How can we do it legally?We are on a sports card trading site you tell me how we can work it and I am game.I said Bosh will be gone read my thread.Trade,retirement whatever my statement is he will be gone more than likely it will be trade.

I'll bet you 100$ that Bosh is not traded.

Put your money where your mouth is bud.

That's exaggerating it a little bit there, but why would you prefer the refs call a travel rather than swallowing the whistle? I don't get your logic behind that. The way I see it, they could have seen both the travel and the foul, and decided not to call either because both violations were present. Calling one, but not the other would have caused some group of fans to go nuts, because the other foul/travel was also present.

If these fouls happened to the heat, and they lost, which is a huge assumption, I would most likely be disappointed but not mad at the refs. I have tremendous respect for them, and what they do on a daily basis. Having to make that call in real time from that angle with everybody putting pressure on you to call everything right all the time is extremely difficult. However, I would be mostly dissappointed because the heat weren't playing at their full talent level/potential the entire game. They had plenty of chances to score, and not be in this situation in the first place.

And, Bosh isn't going to retire in his prime. How does that even make sense?

And, interesting news headline here, Pat Riley himself said that they were willing to cross the luxury tax line if it meant keeping together this dynasty, just like the spurs. Also, if he was going to opt-out, that would be after next year because that's when their contract has the opt-out clause.

Heat fans have posted more on that one play after the finals than the entire playoffs lol. It's ok. Spurs fans could care less about that play. Trust me, I'm one of them. Refs suck at what they do. Have been and that's taken into account. They have a tough job but that's what the "pro" is for. There's another picture floating around @ 41 sec with a ref right by Ray as he is stepping out of bounds. May even be fake idk. Crap happens.....

Let's talk about restoring parity now so that home court won't be so easy to get in weak conferences.

I would rather the refs call something in that situation. When they call nothing it makes it seem as if they were scared to do anything in that situation. These refs are the so called best of the best. On other sites I have seen many heat fans calling out the refs the whole series saying they were biased against the heat because the spurs shot more free throws. I'm not saying all fans think this just a good amount. It is pretty common knowledge that the Heat have a lot of bandwagon fans since the decision.

There is no reasoning with the unreasonable.

Parity is not likely to happen anytime soon in the NBA sadly. Players now join up in free agency to create super teams. How can things like that be stopped?
