***NBA FINALS***

man, if dallas isn't up by 13 at one point this doesn't seem like a punch in the stomach. I never thought miami would win until the last minute.

once again, congrats to Dwyane for single handedly taking over.

nba referees are disgusting

When DHoward scores 20 or more...guess that stat can be retired.

Charlie, all Heat fans--great game and good win. Wade was the sickness tonight!

[Ryan Beal]

Very nice comeback for the Heat.


So close...

moving screens are my biggest peeve in the nba. it's fine when they don't call them at all, but whenever one guy manhandles another and it doesn't get called when other stupid ones do, it's really weird.

I convinced my buddy to take 4:1 on the Mavs winning with another guy after Haslem put the Heat up by 1. During Nowitzki's second free throw I kept chanting "choke. Clank. Brick. Choke. Brick city in here." I take full responsibility for the loss and I'm lovin' it.

looks like the refs don't want this series 3-0. What a [censored] joke.

Agreed. That was one of the worst 6 minute stretches of reffing I've ever seen.

-2nd to last Wade foul (made layup + FT)- WTF? star-favoritism at its worst, I'm not sure there was even any physical contact
-missed an easy blocking foul around half court by Wade around 2:20 left that should have fouled him out
-missed an AWFUL series of 2 moving screens by Shaq, one on the fanside low block when Wade had the ball in the corner, i can't remember the details of the other
-missed an easy off the ball foul on Haslem when Dirk was trying to post him up with Terry at the fanside 45 degree spot
-missed a blatant pushoff to get a rebound by Shaq that lead to an offensive board and those 2 crucial free throws

The refs gave that game away about as hard as is possible. The more NBA playoffs I watch, the more I'm convinced Stern is rigging it

You were not the only one

I've seen a lot worse officiating but the refs definetly won the game for the Heat. No doubt about that. The big one was the pushoff on Shaq that wasn't called then Dampier fouls him and he makes both ft's.
