His act with the officials has always been an embarassment, and this was the first in 28 games everything didn't go his way...the refs did end the streak, normally they'd make sure Lebron wins and gets everything his way.
The refs ended the streak?
Here I was thinking Boozer and the Bulls did that.
I guess you don't get what I'm saying. Yes the bulls did...but if the refs called the game like they normally do for Lebron/heat....heat win, period...which is why I agree with Danny it's embarrassing Lebron has the balls to complain...it's laughable
No, I didn't get what you are saying.
I think I do now, and I wholeheartedly agree.
No sirs, I watched most of the game, the refs definitely tried at times to get the cHeat into it but the Bulls played so well that even the refs couldn't do enough without it being BEYOND their usual.
If Nate's floater at the end was to put them up only 2, where was the tech on Lebroid (for hanging on the rim for a LONG time)? Luckily it was to go up 5 b/c the refs weren't calling it!
To those saying it wasn't a flagrant when Broid put his elbow out (high elbow too but Boozer isn't short)... I don't think you know the rules! Even if it wasn't "bad" or hard, you can't do it, plain and simple. Also, it was MUCH harder/forceful than it appears b/c you have to remember it's Boozer, he isn't weak and is strong/sturdy enough to absorb Broid (who is a tank)... so just b/c it didn't look that bad, the flagrant is also for intent! James intended to deliver a shiver to Booze but Boozer took it and said something to let broid know that he wasn't soft like the usual people he runs through!
Also, to the people saying you got to be physical with them to beat them, I have been saying it since Shaq (of course I can't/don't want to find the threads but I said it many times, even in chat)... they didn't know how to handle going through Shaq, he would dang near blow their world up when they drove through! I love teams that don't let them just run through them or don't just get out their way. I thought Indiana was going to do it last season but after Wadena flung his body into ol' dude (can't think of his name right now), the series was over, it seemed like Indiana couldn't get over the fact that the refs jobbed them... they softened b/c they were young and couldn't deal with not getting the calls everyone KNEW they deserved! This is another reason why I wanted Darko to play, all Doc had to say was foul them HARD and he would have gladly done it... Mia can't handle physical play AGAINST them, they are bullies but Chicago is no victim, they have just the mix of guys who like to rough it up!
Dirk was amazing on offense and so was Jet... but they beat Mia b/c they were more physical! OKC can't beat Mia b.c while Perk is a hard hitter no BSer, the entire team besides him are more finesse. Even Ibaka, while an excellent shot blocker, he isn't out there laying wood on anyone on the regular!
We are pretty physical too but as KG and PP have aged, they are more finesse, we just don't have tree shakers anymore... not to say we can't/won't beat them (because we have a good mix of veteran savy and grit), I just know we'd be better served having a couple of club/knuckle dragging guys who's sole purpose was to bang and foul!
