I'll say, the refs sure did want the Thunder to win on Sunday night...That third quarter was awful... Wade is absolutely going to get fined $5000 for that flop that he had late in the fourth quarter when Stevenson was driving. That would have cut it to 8 points? Seven points? Instead they call the offensive on Stevenson and then turned around and immediately sent Miami to the line on the other end. That was brutal brutal officiating last night. Cmon though...Even when Indiana cut into those leads, even making it 5 at half, did you ever get the feeling they had a serious shot in that game? Just seems Miami was toying with them, and would get a basket or went on a run when they really needed to |

Anyone giving OKC a real shot?
Or was that the typical "lets take the night off" game for the Spurs?

I've always said "No, no way...Maybe it is a little bit, but the refs can't just give the game away"... I was shaking my head after the Thunder went to the line for their 14th FTA of the quarter and the Spurs hadn't shot any... the discrepenacy at the FT line last night was deserved, and legit......Indiana pulls up on fast breaks when they have numbers because they have zero creativity on offense and are more comfortable setting up in the half....Outside of the occasional George penetration, they have no one forcing the action to the hole....David West, who I have so much respect for after watching him this playoffs, is a pure jump shooter......Miami makes a living forcing the action, pressuring a defense with fast breaks........ They lost. For a while there in the 2nd quarter, the fucking refs were really whistle happy and leaning towards Miami. I saw a play where George Hill got gang raped driving to the basket, he lost the ball because he was fouled, the Heat came down the court and someone sneezed on Lebron and Lebron was at the line. Miami had like 2 team fouls before the 2 minute mark of the second. I wouldnt exactly call it a "Screwjob" but Miami had 34 FT attempts to Indiana's 17. Game 5, the refs will lean towards Indiana. |

I think the refs did a good job last night..Didn't really see many bad calls... Lance Stephenson is the bama of the week and it has come to the point that I'm sad for Roy Hibbert... they called ticky tack filed against the Pacers all night. In Miami got away with mugging the Indiana bigs down low the whole game. |

Less Stephenson....If he isnt really bottling up anyone on defense, I think he is an anchor on their offense, especially in the rare times he is running the point........Id continue to roll with this Butler guy and a lot of Hill, at least they present that permiter threat that could open things up for George and West....They were completely doomed last night when I see George walking the ball up the court...Not his game, not enough of a creator |

It's every game with him. That was fucking obvious. But he's "D-Wade" so he won't get any fines. Just the way it is. That's why at Indiana 15K + yelling "HE'S A FLOPPER". James is even worse. The other night Watson lightly ran into Lebron, and Lebron acted like he got hit by a truck. |

Just seems Miami was toying with them, and would get a basket or went on a run when they really needed to yeah Miami sure looked like they were the better team last night. But Indiana also looked like the better team for most of game 3. The referee is manipulated that game last night. Everytime Indiana look like they were going on a run the refs would blow some quick whistles killed Indiana momentum and give Miami some easy free throws. And don't think for a second that getting three files on Stevenson with 8 minutes to go in the first half was not a huge contributor in the Pacers struggling offensively for three quarters. |

He really is their best creator on offense. His biggest problem, he dribbles too much and then decides to give up the ball with only seconds remaining. When he's hitting his shots, no one says anything. He's come a long way. They have to stop putting Watson and Geore Hill on the court together. When Miami goes small, they should be going big. |

Heat just better and hibbert is shitty |

The last few years, that's what... Choked against Miami last year... Choked against the Thunder the year before..Up 2-0 then lost the next 4 games... Choked as the #1 seed aginst the 8th seeded Grizz the year before that... Swept by the Suns the year before that... |
