Re: The 11/12 NBA season threadBosh is back? really thats great news i think, whats annoying Heat have looked so bloody complacent lately and its costing them. If we play ball like that i don't want to get to the finals we will just get annihilated by Spurs or Thunder.(Original post by youngzwavey)
ahh who cares about lebron fouling out and wade missing, we got ourselves a real series in both conferences now, the east is looking interesting, o wait Bosh is back for game 5; no it's not mwahaahaaa heat in 6 -
Re: The 11/12 NBA season threadThe calls were bogus Garnett travelling, i Dont think the foul on Garnett at the end when LB and him were wrapped together was a foul either. They need to buck up these referees cause their being really poor.(Original post by I Kant Spall)
It was terrible officiating. I agree, but on both sides. The refs were atrocious and some of those fouls on James were stupid calls, but on both sides they were just calling fouls that made one say out loud "really?"--that travel call on Garnett for one. You just don't call that.
It will/would be an entertaining, competitive series without constant meddling from the referees anyway. -
Re: The 11/12 NBA season thread
Wow, Lebron got screwed over today. No way he should have been fouled out. I'm not complaining though since the C's have been screwed by officiating too (Rondo and Wade...). Still, this is being ruined for both sides by terrible refs.
Anyway, I actually credit Lebron for hitting a 3 with around 30 seconds left to tie the game and passing when it looked like he was triple teamed (although great work by Garnett to get back on defense). Wade choked last second and passed up the ball at end of regulation but no one will say anything of course (**** storm if it was Lebron).
Great series. As a neutral, I still think the Heat will take this, but both series are damn interesting.Last edited by Xotol; 04-06-2012 at 11:37. -

Re: The 11/12 NBA season thread
For anyone who didn't watch, Heat played terribly. It was like the Bobcats in the house; they couldn't pass straight, no help defense, no boxing out on rebounds (Pietrus once had 2/3 offensive rebounds in one play in OVERTIME), Bron bricking his FT's as usual, no perimeter OR paint defense (at least in the first half). It's a good thing Heat lost, I would've felt like an anti-basketball Heat fan for being happy if Heat won.

Re: The 11/12 NBA season thread
The key to Lebron performing better in the clutch is improving his FT's. At the moment, he's reaching DHoward-level futility from the line (shot 4/8 today and 1/5 last time rofl). If he improves on them, he can score more points obviously, and he can attack the rim more in the clutch to get higher percentage shots. Even if he can't handle the pressure of going to the line, working on them MORE will probably lead to better FT percentages.

Re: The 11/12 NBA season threadMaybe but games 2 and 4 were really tight and I could see the Heat taking game 6 especially if Bosh is back(Original post by TheLouisVuittonDon)
Celtics - Heat is going to be decided based on homecourt advantage.

Re: The 11/12 NBA season threadIf that's true, then Miami have it in the bag... If it ends up going to 3-3, it goes back to Miami and then they win the Eastern Conference(Original post by TheLouisVuittonDon)
