dknight Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Just a warning: I NEVER liked Walker in Boston.Is it just me, or when Antoine did that little "dance" on the baseline with his shoulder while he was down, did you want to shove your arm through the TV and knock him one right in the face?

rmackman Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I loved when Zo got so psyched he was writhing on the floor. I thought "wow now that's passion." However, I'm sure in Dallas they thought "I hope he's having a seizure right now." I can't believe with all the Canadians on this board nobody guessed who it was in the back of my photo. Come on guys you're better than this. THINK! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaks4 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 am I the only one who's picked up on how Dwayne Wade's shoe commercial slogan makes no sense? Fall down 7 times get up 8. You can't get up more times than you fall down. If you fall down 7 times the most times you could possibly get up is 7. It's the same principle as giving 110%, considering the fact that it's mathematically impossible for anybody to give more than 100% effort in any given task (thank you, Mr. Burns's softball ringers)... Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't "Fall down 7 get up 8" actually make perfect sense? I believe the extra one is actually there because when you are a baby, you eventually "get up" for the first time. Thus, you would be "up" more then you go down. Am I right or just looking way too far into it?Anyways, congrats to Miami and Dallas blah blah blah...I apologize, I am still just a little bitter about the end of the Suns run.

pflava Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'll admit the Heat got a few calls here and there, but they didn't win the series due to bad officiating...They won game 3 and 5 with the help of some of the worst officiating I've ever seen (should the end of an NBA Finals game ever come down to a guy hitting free throws with a second left on the clock?). So much so that they would have lost both games without the benefit of those bad calls. Anyone who even casually follows basketball could see that game 5 was as lopsided as it gets as far as the calls. And the officiating has been generally terrible for a while now in the NBA, but the spotlight of the Finals really exposed it. So yes, the Heat did get a few calls here and there, and they happened to be when the game's outcome depended on it. They were certainly the better team last night, and in game 4, without a doubt. I don't think the Mavericks ever recovered from the shock of game 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflava Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'll also add that if they started a 7 game series tonight that was as fairly called as you can get, the Heat would probably win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Amazing to think that they could've been swept if they didn't get all the calls in the last six minutes of game 3, ain't it? This series was NBA officiating at its worst. Dwyane Wade is an amazing player, but right now, not even LeBron gets some of the calls that he gets.

WSU151 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (should the end of an NBA Finals game ever come down to a guy hitting free throws with a second left on the clock?). I don't have a problem with your argument, except this sentence...If you're going for a layup with 2 seconds on the clock and I straight up tackle you (not to say that happened) or give you a wicked punch in the face, then yes, I would expect you to get free throws In all seriousness, if you get fouled, you get fouled. The picture clearly shows Devin Harris fouled him - grabbed his right forearm/elbow. I'm sure you've seen it. Though Nowitzki got the foul, it's not the first time an official called the foul on the wrong guy. Anyone who casually watches basketball knows that.And just think, if Dirk had made that second free throw with three seconds left in game 3, the game would have gone into OT. But I guess it's the refs fault that he missed it...he shouldn't have even been there in the first place, especially not in an NBA Finals game with seconds to go.

D-Wade was given gifts by the officials all series. That game he had as many free throws as the entire Mavericks team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Wade was given gifts by the officials all series. That game he had as many free throws as the entire Mavericks team. Could it have been an off-balance flop?? Oh say it ain't so!! Good thing I didn't see any Mavericks get away with pushes. Nowitzki pushed Haslem right into Jason Terry at the end of game 6...obvious as daylight...no call. Nowitzki pushes off on nearly all of his drives...no calls. You know I respect you, ITE, but you need to watch the game a bit more closely and quit looking for conspiracies... Unless you completely wrap your arm around the guy and push, the ref is not going to call it. Watch any game in the conference finals and The Finals and you'll see what I mean.And the reason that Wade had as many FT's as the Mavericks in game 5 was because the Mavs rely on open jump shots...Dwyane Wade relies on driving to the rim. Who do you think is going to get more FT's...Open jump shooters, or contact-seeking cutters and slashers? Add to the fact that the Mavericks sent the Heat into the bonus early in every quarter, and overtime, by fouling Shaq more than they had, and thus, Wade gets more FTs. It's not rocket science, fellas. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
