They rank as three of the top 16 homer refs in the league.

My prediction Cavs win and LeBron goes to the line at a minimum, 20 times. Also look for early Orlando foul trouble.

Just as well, I have to work.  But I'll at least start out listening.

Magic have no chance tonight. I'd be stunned if there wasn't a game 7 in this series..

I bet he goes over 20. That's the over/under for tonight's game.

Unfortunately I expect the Cavs to win this game. Hopefully the Magic will end it in 6.
Let's go C's!!!

thanks for the post Nick.... interestingly the refs for yesterdays laker gem were neutral according to covers.com.

I think the King is going for over 20 FTs and Dwight is going to see some extra foul trouble.

Three minutes left to go in the 3rd quarter and LeBron has 13 FTs. I'm definitely on pace for that over 20.

this was pathetic. I believe I have witnessed the worst call in nba history with that clear path. Only if you are on high potent drugs do you blow that.

Gotta admit, I only saw most of the fourth quarter but it appeared to be a well called game during that span.

The officials did a very good job during today's game.

Mmm, I was pulling for the Magic pretty hard and I still thought that the clear path call was the correct one. Overall, this was a well-officiated game.

Magic lost this one on their own I'm afraid.

I'm praying they can close it out in Game 6, or else, guaranteed, the Cavs go to the Finals.

19 FT's, and for the most part, Lebron went hard to the rim a lot during that 4th quarter.

The only iffy call was that body "brush" by Pietrus.

Magic could have won this game if either Rashard or Rafer showed up.

The only reason people think this was well officiated is becuase turk, lefis and howard picked up quick fouls and had to sit. The calls were surgical and they limited the time of orlandos key players.

No way in hell that was a clear path fould, he was on the side of him and there was not behind him. Even if it was called by the letter of the law, it was wrong. If the refs can make exceptions to flagrants, they can do it to this as well. I dont understand why lebron doesnt drive every time down the court, a foul is called for him almost every time.
If they dont put howard, turk and lewis into foul trouble, orlando wins tonight. Poor job in my opinion.
