~O~ 565 Report post Posted May 29, 2012 Ok. This is what I'm witnessing from games. Any opponent that the Heat plays has a lack of security of what is and isn't a foul because of how the game is officiated in such a favorable manner to the Miami Heat. This, in turn, causes the opponent to have no type of defense that is physical enough or affective enough against the Heat offense. This later causes the opponent of Miami to be demoralized and lose their confidence on offense and defense. This benefits the Heat because they won't face the adversity of the opponent because of how the game is officiated in their favor. They have feeling comfort and less distress when they are up on an opponent and could receive any type of cheap touch foul and commit a Flagrant 2 foul that would be called as a Flagrant 1. The Heat face no real hardships or challenges. The Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Indian Pacers all eventually stop driving to rim because of the lack of calls they would receive after taking the brutality that the officials allow the Miami Heat to give. They then start to shoot uncharacteristic shots and stop running plays since no plays are rewarded or prove ineffective. The three/four technicals that the Celtics received absolutely magnified what the leagues intentions are. Hell, the two Flagrant 2 calls in the previous round said enough for me. The leagues intentions are completely clear and I don't think any team will not stop them from reaching their goal. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan the Magic Fan 253 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 The Spurs are a freaking machine. I seriously have not seen an offense work with such precision probably since the Suns during the Nash MVP years. This is just insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, LeBron and Wade might be individually better, but with the depth and the big 3 in their second to last run, they are too tough to overcome. Only possiblity for the Heat is if the Spurs peaked now, in the WCF, and go tired to the Finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NameLess Scrub 6 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 While not a big fan of Rondo, I feel bad for him this time. It must be awful to have the game of your life, play 50+ minutes and lose knowing the refs helped out the other team with that no-call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VCplusD12 91 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 Well, the Boston Celtics can't complain when KG should have been ejected on multiple occasions in the ECF 2 years ago (Remember him trying to break Dwight's arm?) I hope they lose again and again, Miami clean sweep I love Rondo though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
