4/8 - 4/16 Games Discussion Thread

Re: 4/8 - 4/16 Games Discussion Thread

LOL at "people who know the game of basketball". Man your 'cause' would be a lot more believable if you were actually in here complaining about other teams and players and not just the Heat.

If you dislike them, fine, but spare us the act that it's genuine concern about NBA officiating. I mean, the last game the Heat & Bulls had, where LeBron shot 0 free throws, and the Bulls won, you were in here acting like a it was a '02 Kings screw job.

I completely agree with one thing though, people see what they want to see...

I wonder why I only complain about the Heat.....

That should be your answer right there.

If people think I have a vendetta about the Heat, I rooted for them in the '06 Finals. That was before Wade went mega-douche on everyone.

I just want the playoffs to be officiated the same way they do during the regular season. If that makes me whatever.....then cool.

For the record, I ain't mad at anyone and I'm just having some fun with BringTheHeat. But I had to point out his blatant hypocrisy. I mean, I couldn't not say something.

Alright Spurs, you've beaten the Grizzlies and the Mavs here in the last few weeks, go ahead and beat the Suns tonight.

Seriously, if they don't beat the Suns I'm gonna be sick.

Wade out tonight against Indy, I wonder if it's really just rest or if his hamstring is bothering him that much.

Re: 4/8 - 4/16 Games Discussion Thread

Probably not incredibly serious, but I wouldn't mess with a hammy injury unless its dire....(or playoffs)

Steelersfreak, no thanks, the 'underdog' always seems to win our playoff math ups...cant have that...

Me and 23 bring this up all the time, but the 2011 playoff atmosphere around here was the best

Re: 4/8 - 4/16 Games Discussion Thread

Reading that article on Wade and how he and Tim Grover are in Miami most of the season managing his body leads me to believe Wade is being saved for the playoffs and resting.

Miami is going to need some changes next year though because they aren't looking too hot like before.

Re: 4/8 - 4/16 Games Discussion Thread

lol you're damn right people only see what they want to see.. One questionable call for the Heat and you're in here bitching that the refs are in their pocket, and every single game is called in their favor.. Yet if a questionable call goes the other way do you say anything? If there is a questionable call in a different game do you say anything??

Where are the Indy fans complaining about how the refs screwed them in the playoffs? The spurs fans? The OKC fans from two years ago?

Better yet, it was only a five game span, and you really know and follow the game, and all other sports, unlike anyone who doesn't who doesn't think the refs screwed Chicago, why don't you just save us the argument and tell us specifically when and how the Bulls were screwed so badly in that series.

Man yall tripping, we all know the refs only work for Lakers deep pockets.

In all seriousness I don't see anything different from the way refs call a heat game to a raptors game. Outside of the Lance technical it's the same inconsistent ref bs in just about every game for insert any team.

Sure superstars get the bulk of the calls but if I'm going to complain about any calls, it would be all the failing bs James Harden gets. Dude literally does nothing but run to the rim an pretend to get hacked 90% of the time.

In terms of playoff things that can happen tonight:
EAST:
Raptors can clinch Atlantic with a win OR a Nets loss
Bulls can be locked into 1st round home court advantage with a win OR Nets loss
Hawks can clinch playoff spot with a win AND Knicks loss
Nets can be locked into a top 5 spot with a win

West:
OKC can be locked into 2nd with a win
LAC can be locked into top 3 spot with a Rockets loss
Rockets can be locked into 1st round home court advantage with a win AND Blazers loss
Blazers can be locked into top 5 spot with Warriors losing
Warriors can clinch playoff spot with a win AND Grizzlies loss

I'm not the type of person to have the rug yanked from under my feet, and then not say or do something. If you're looking for 'that guy', I'm not him. Therefore, I can't speak as to why others haven't spoke up about it.

Just because I'm the only one calling out bull****, doesn't automatically mean I'm wrong.

Thanks Maginjir, I was looking for a break down like that.

So there is no way the Raptors can lose the 3rd seed right?

Thats definitely another problem with the refs and something the NBA refuses to fix which is another reason I despise this T shirt junk.

Harden goes to the rim and has mastered the art of jerking his head backwards if anybody is in the vicinity and always gets the calls. Its the equivalent of players breathing on a guy and getting a touch foul.

Its sickening that they wouldn't try to cut down on this mess. I think he and Durant both get a ton of their points from unwarranted FTs when theyre capable of getting them without all of that.

There is a way...I said they could clinch Atlantic and Bulls clinch home advantage in 1st round(both hoping for Nets loss,or both teams just win). Bulls can still finish 3rd. But the Bulls need to finish 1 game better than Raptors to get 3rd seed(Raptors win tiebreaker).

I'm undecided now if I want Raptors to finish 3rd or 4th though lol. If Wizards aren't gonna be 6th, then maybe it'd be best for Raptors to finish 4th and face Nets.Raptors suck against Bobcats for some real strange reason so it might translate to playoffs too...but Nets have been playing real good in past few months.

Ugh.

Miami Heat vs. The World. I never disliked being a sports fan so much then during that time. The Mav's became America' s team. Painful memories.
