tonights OKC vs HEAT

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Well, okc is making themselves just an outside shooting, no follow the shot, no rebounding team.....so, you see the results....anyone else watching...? and lebron traveled already..!!!

[Meadowlark_Scal]

whdo i know it,...but no defenderplayers know it that battier always goes baseline...same thing everytime....who would give baseline anyway...?

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Look at how this is going..maybe WE could have beat okc..if we had Bradley....we could have beaten the heat too....dern....

[Meadowlark_Scal]

jvg said "you gotta hit these guys coming into the paint...."  I like it...!

[Meadowlark_Scal]

man.ebron takes that "pickup your dribble, jump, land jump to an EXTREME...that is travelling to the MAX...man........

that was the worst officiating in a half of a basketball game i've seen since the 2002 western conferance finals.

Actually forcing the player baseline is the new thing to do. Definitely goes against the traditional don't give up baseline, force to the middle where the help awaits mentality.

Yup.  They really don't know when to blow when the whistle and when to play on.....so they blow it whenever in doubt, which is constantly.

Miami just won a Finals game when hitting only 5 shots outside the paint. 

They were 5-31 outside the lane and 23-41 inside the lane.  With the help of the zebras, the Heat were 31-35 from the line.

Ha, seriously, wow, five shots! Wow.

There was the LeBron jumper. Two Battier threes. A James Jones three. I wonder what the fifth one was.

[TripleOT]

A LeBron 19 footer was the only mid-range shot made by the Heat. They were 4-18 from three and 1 for 13 mid-range.  OKC should be ashamed with their performance in Game 3.  You're got to win a game when your opponent can't make shots at all.

Calls that were blatantly WRONG that of course went Miami's way:

1. Reverse by Wade where Harden did NOT even touch him that became a three point play in the first half.

2. James hop step mentioned earlier that was a CLEAR travel.

3. Haslem's block on Fisher layup was a CLEAR four that was NOT called.

4. James CLEARLY knocked the ball of the back and bottom of the backboard that was NOT called.

5. James Jones foul on Durant's layup attempt should have been a Flagrant I as he hit him on the back of the head and made NO play on the ball.


Those are my top five.

agree

Hard to beat the refs.  Most fans like myself will have an asterisk by this HEAT title and not for the shortened season but for the ref's.

I expect OKC to get a lot of calls in G4.
