You're missing some great basketball then. Overall, the officiating has been pretty good.

Soap07,

As the infamous Johnny McEnroe says, "You can't be serious!"  I really hope that you are joking here.

It is a great series indeed im not questioning it.

The officiating was pretty solid as well, but not tonight. LeBron is getting fouls on the slightest of ball swipes, yet Westbrook does not get calls even if there were obvious body contacts (i've seen a couple of them) and trust me, if those we're and ones and he made those FT's it would have been a much different game. I mean if the officials are gonna call those ticky tacky swipes on OKC, they should do the same for Miami, is all.

You can't tell me the officiating has been fair and balanced
as fair and balanced as fox news  ;)

Opposite of Fair and Balanced is MSNBC.  :o

Officiating tonight was fine. And why would the NBA want Miami to win this game? Their intersts far better served with series going 7. In every sport, for every team, in every chat room and every blog, people think there's a conspiracy against their wishes. The truth is much more benign, though I'm sure that's not what people want, even NEED, to hear in order for their world to make sense. NBA is the toughest because there are so many marginal calls every game. All this conspiracy talk is utter nonsense and completely depressing that people put do much stock into it. I think more highly of people, and don't get how a logical person can actually believe the fix is in. Sad.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Miami won easily tonight.
People whining about the refs in this series really hate the Heat because they beat us out of a shot at banner 18 and we are angry.

If you've watched the series you'll see how pathetically inexperienced and young the Thunder are.
Harden has been Garbage, Westbrook has been average at best. Even when he plays well, he has to take everyone else out of the game and score 40 points and jack up 35 shots when Durant gets 20.
Scott Brooks is a joke of a coach and Spoelstra has destroyed him strategically- he never adjusts, just says 'ride it out and play harder'. Mean while Miami keeps shooting open three after open three.

OKC have played below par and have let Miami's tough defense on Durant and Harden take them outta the series.

The Heat shouldn't be in the Finals. They're there because of Game 2 officiating against us.

OKC is playing like garbage. They're not playing like they did against the Spurs, they're going iso and killing themselves every time.

I'm not watching the games, (just watched game 3's 4th quarter) because I can't stand the HYPE and how this league is trying so hard to give LeBron and the Miami morons a ring. Stern doesn't want a long series, he wants LeBron to win MVP and Finals MVP.

The question is if, once they get him the ring, they'll stop trying so hard. Of course they'll let him walk away with travel, bulldozing opposite players... If this is the way to get a competitive league again, so be it. Give them their rings, avoid BSPN for some months, and everything will be ok. In fact, if we survived 2010 Joey Crawford, we can deal with this.

Trying to not complain about the refs, and not blaming them for losses is nice, but when there's such an unfair treatment by the league and his refs, it's crazy. And of course I'm angry because the refs AND the Cheat beat us. It's part of being a fan.

Next game the refs will take it easier, and they'll probably let OKC beat themselves, or keep the series alive. OKC (hopefully I'm wrong) won't beat Miami three straight times to win the ring. Sorry, Perk.

None of this makes any sense. If course they would want a longer series and I think Lebron NOT winning would be great theatre for the league. If you are going to have a conspiracy theory, at least don't do it on a night where the fouls were 20-18 and the outcome you suggests is exactly what the league does NOT want to happen.

You all sound like sad crazy haters. If I was a Heat fan, I would come on this blog and just laugh at how pathetic it is.

This is exactly why I love the Celtics but hate the league.   I grew to love the C's over the league but the league in general is almost impossible for me to watch at this point.   The one sided referees are ludricous. 

Heat fans can laugh but to me and many others their championship is going to have an asterik due to the refs helping them so much.

As for conspiracy theories you can say they are pathetic but I think the excuses backing up the refs is even more so.  These refs are what is pathetic.   They can't even hide their bias.  They blow a ton of calls and year in and year out they are back despite their ineptitude.

It's sad that I can still be appalled by the refs given their track record but they've hit a new low for me this postseason. At this point I don't care why the games are poorly officiated. I just want to see some improvement. Or at the very least some commitment from the league to improving it. At this point they don't care or really are delusional about the quality of the officiating. That's why I think the league is a joke. Unless the Celtics are playing, I find most games unwatchable.

Hate to agree with u but u are right. Officials are awful b/c of Miami getting all the calls, the draft lottery is fix, and the Chris Paul trade that didnt happen. Though I hate the Lakers, a team should make any trades they want.
