Inconsistency by the Black and White team tonight, they call it tight on one end, and loose as hell on the other end...Hopefully the home court cooking thing continues on to the next game...

Thank you Pistons for playing like the champions you are, so far in this game. Zebras, put the whistles in your damn pockets. On BOTH sides, you went from 24 fouls in game 1, to 49 in game 2, to 62 in game 3. That is just ridiculous.

I've never seen a player in the history of the NBA get more no calls than Shaq. Although, Wade is starting to give him a run. The last two teams of Refs (Game 2 & 3) called the games like they had something other than a whistle in their pockets. Shaq's first step (that's two steps before he travels) ALWAYS includes a clear with his off arm. Shaq and Zo both push rebounders in the back almost every missed shot. And Wade is a world class jersey puller.

How was last night's game called poorly?? The Pistons won because they hit their shots. Both teams shot 39 freethrows... Heat had 30 personals to the Piston's 28... Each team had 1 technical... Bottomline is the Pistons shot 48%, dished the ball well (27 assists), and protected it even better (6 TO's all in the 2nd Half).

Have a little respect for a well played game.

Shaq usually gets a lot of calls, but last night there were a lot of ticky-tack fouls called against him...

Ticky-tack? Tayshaun Prince got two of his fouls without even touching the guy he was checking and this clown (Rosen) bitches because Shaq didn't cripple anyone. A smack on the arm is a foul for whoever. The older Shaq gets, the more apologists he gets.

The refs were calling a lot of bad fouls both ways IMO. I hope they decide to let the teams play in game 5

Lets just agree that the game was called poorly on both sides of the spectrum.

Welcome to the NBA...

They stop calling traveling and carries in 1986...

I don't care if an NBA game is called "poorly" as long as it's called "evenly". If the Refs suck on both ends...works for me!
