Miami Heat + Refs = UNSTOPPABLE!

[paul06901]

The Heat always seem to have a few extra players on the court, wearing striped uniforms.

The calls they get, both ways, in close games is just astonishing.



This game vs. the Wolves ... unreal.

The offensive fouls vs. the Heat not called and the flop fouls on Chalmers ... insanity!


:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

[AP4MVP]

Biased refs

[paul06901]

I'm not even a Wolves fan, I'm actually a Mavs fan and don't really want the Wolves to win due to current Playoff standings lol.


But the Heat have an incredible amount of bias from the refs, every single game they step on the court.

[UltimateDeron]

I can't believe what I am watching right now. Just sad how the refs keep Miami in some games.

[AP4MVP]

Id say clean house of the refs but keep the bald guy

[paul06901]

The Lebron charge on Rubio that was a no call was complete BS.



When's the last time that Kevin Love got a foul called FOR him?!...

[mnvikingstwins]

Touch call for Mario and LeBron throws another shoulder at Ricky, only one foul. Then another LeBron flop. This sport is a joke

[paul06901]

Touch call for Mario and LeBron throws another shoulder at Ricky, only one foul. Then another LeBron flop. This sport is a joke

These commentators are horrible too!


Did you hear them after Lebron hacked Kevin Love on the strip attempt?

Instant slow-mo replay and you can see Love get raked across the forearm and what does the commentator say? "That was all ball!"

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:


:coffee::coffee::coffee:

[mnvikingstwins]

And another charge. That's three in ten minutes.

[AP4MVP]

Touch call for Mario and LeBron throws another shoulder at Ricky, only one foul. Then another LeBron flop. This sport is a joke

This is why i almost dont watch this basketball crap anymore. This miami heat bias is sickening and the refs suck

[muzikandme]

Wait till the playoffs start, then it gets even worse, as if the heat need more help to reach the finals.

[Wolves4Life]

I personally loved the "foul" on Luc called 10 seconds later.

[mnvikingstwins]

Cole with a clear out. Ref didn't know if he actually can call a foul on James

[crimedawg47]

Wooooh a foul called on Lebron

[mnvikingstwins]

This defense is atrocious too. A couple wide open cuts and really late close outs. If you get a ton of contact, use it.

[paul06901]

Do we all see how teams that play the Heat actually make TOUGH IN-GAME SHOTS to try to win basketball games?

They don't just make standstill shots from the line for easy free throws?


UNREAL!

[paul06901]

Wow!!!


Did you all see that travel on lebron before the spin move on love?!

[mnvikingstwins]

LeBron got a couple extra steps. Jump and a drop and another > 2.

[AP4MVP]

Nice miss lebron lol

[mnvikingstwins]

Ref sure wanted a turnover before blowing his whistle

[mnvikingstwins]

LeBron should get a tech for tossing the ball. These magic timeouts are stupid as well.

[paul06901]

Ref sure wanted a turnover before blowing his whistle

Just wait for the And-1 that will be called on a Lebron drive right about now...

[mnvikingstwins]

That's just fine to allow that. No risk last shot to win now.

[mnvikingstwins]

LeBron will get to clear someone out. Timeout probably puts it under heat basket now?

[AP4MVP]

Wooooooooooo

[mnvikingstwins]

Why does the ball move fifty feet just from a timeout? Might as well just take dribbling out. They travel as is and don't need to take it up the court

[oshmeehan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw-R9Zgg5pA

Yep, Heat always has the refs in their pockets.

Just check out this play back from late last season. Go to the 2:50 mark to see one of the most obvious fouls ever not get called with the ref standing right there

[jj2]

It's a shame the Heat lost as it makes the title of this thread look fairly silly.

[CC_123]

It's a shame the Heat lost as it makes the title of this thread look fairly silly.

Just because the Heat lost doesn't mean this thread is silly. The Heat got phantom calls consistently on every offensive possession but they can maul any player on defense like a grizzly bear after a piece of meat on a 3 day binge with no salmon on a 60 degree day in Alaska. The Heat had every call go there way and STILL lost. That's what the funny part is. If it was called down the middle the Wolves would've won in regulation by 10 points. The things the Heat (and every top NBA team) get away with is so ridiculous that you cannot help but to laugh

[slugger22]

The Heat get all of the phantom calls like the Lakers used to back when Kobe actually stepped on to the court.

[justdagoodstuff]

http://i60.tinypic.com/b82493.jpg


lol..

[justdagoodstuff]

but really, all star players get the calls. The Bulls did doing the Jordan Era, the Lakers did during the Kobe winning titles era, Durant gets the calls. Just the way it is

[XARZY]

Heres one that wasnt mentioned. (2nd OT final 30 or so seconds?) Lebron fouling Love (no call) as he passes the ball in while still behind the arch, foul doesnt get called till ball is in possession in the paint and the 2 free throws as opposed to 3 free throws by love put the wolves in a 1pt lead and not a 2pt lead (potentially). Atleast the Wolves still showed them.||wheres rasheed wallace to scream "Ball don't Lie!" when we need him.

[mjw9002]

buuuttt on the plus side it was one hell of an entertaining close game, im a heat fan would of liked to see some better play from the heat but still a good game to watch.

[Rhyster66]

I really hope the Playoffs won't be decided by these kind of games.

[alexcampos]

A facepalm is not enough to properly express my feelings towards this thread.

In the end the Heat lost that game, and BTW.....the game was pretty much decided by the refs....

They called a foul with less then 2 seconds....ON THE HEAT....the Wolves made 1 of 2 free throws and won the game.


Oh b-b-but the refs are on the Heat's side, how dare they call a foul on them with the game on the line?!

Seriously, the people who continue to perpetuate this nonsense are beyond pathetic and sad.

[alexcampos]

Just because the Heat lost doesn't mean this thread is silly.

Yes, yes it does.

The OP and several members on here make a baseless and ridiculous conspiracy theory claiming the refs and the Heat are in cahoots.

The Heat end up losing the game thanks to a foul the REFS called ON them with less than 2 seconds left.

YES, clearly the Heat and the Refs are working together.

And 9/11 is an inside job, man never landed on the roof, and aliens killed JFK.

Never would of been OT without the Miami bias from the refs.... so.... :coffee:

So the refs wanted Miami to win but then called a foul on them with less than two seconds left. Sure.

Like all good conspiracy theories, you need to be able to be completely oblivious to any evidence that clearly invalidates your assertion.

The NBA is rigged for the big market teams! Except they're almost all currently cellar-dwellers or struggling to make the playoffs.

It's a fact they blew MANY calls in that game, or allowed the heat to hack away for much longer than should be allowed. Biggest evidence of this was when they inbounded the ball to Barea. He got hacked 3-4 times (all of which were fouls) before they even decided to blow the whistle.

Please take the Heat blinders off

[CC_123]

If you Heat fans are saying that Brewer wasn't fouled late you are blind...or maybe it's because that's the either a) the first foul you've seen called on the Heat or b) the first foul that has been called on the Heat late in a game.

Brewer was pretty much undercut on the play and got the ball up towards the basket. It was an obvious foul and if you don't think so you need to go back to the definition of what a foul is, you know, the stuff they teach you in 2nd grade ball..or quit being blinded by the refs calling everything in favor of you guys. I know, I was shocked too that the Heat were called for a foul.

[ilovemybonnie1]

The Lebron charge on Rubio that was a no call was complete BS.



When's the last time that Kevin Love got a foul called FOR him?!...

if he was to wear Lebron number he would get one as soon as he put it on , well done the twolves for beating the heat , .

Stop being a naive homer. It was clear as day. 4 people getting knocked over from drives by heat players and all were no-calls? Only reason Brewer foul was called was because they didn't call the foul behind the arc on love during the pass to Brewer

[pingbling23]

Timberwolves shot more freethrows and Miami had more fouls called against them. Troll on....

[Lionsman81]

NBA reffing is trash period.

[minnesotachill]

I think the refs just gave up on Miami.

They handed them the game on a silver platter at the end of regulation and first OT and they couldn't make free throws.

It was a choke job on Miami's part and the refs got tired of trying to bail them out.

[Hegotgame15]

Timberwolves shot more freethrows and Miami had more fouls called against them. Troll on....

Did you watch the entire game?

That usually helps....:)!

There was no contact on that foul call. I've seen guys get pummeled to the ground in the closing seconds with no call.

That's where one goes to see stats. What makes more sense, biased opinions that are trying to pick every play apart to prove a conspiracy, or a basic stat of the game that shows how it was called overall. Wolves shot more freethrows and won the game on a weak foul. To me, the wolves got bailed out by the refs.

What is a Troll in a Basketball forum in your mind?



Someone that goes out of their way regardless of facts or actual context to put down a player/team?

Correct?


Well what do you call a person who blindingly defends a player/team without facts and regardless of context?






There are people that have an issue with how the game was called because they WATCHED IT!!!!!!

They're not the Trolls in this thread.




You are.

[minnesotachill]

The last foul call was obviously a make-up call from the 'ghost' foul on Chalmers.

[Zacy87]

It's the same 8-10 member always saying the same stuff. It gets old with how much you hate Lebron. You're like a jealous little grade schooler. It's time to grow up and move on.

[pingbling23]

Says the person that trolls every heat/lebron thread. Sometimes, it doesn't matter if you watch a game or not. When being biased, you will see what you want to see. You are proof of that. This is a troll thread, made to illicit trolling responses. I probably shouldn't have posted any facts.

No offense but if you go to just look at the shat sheet to see which team had more fouls and say the refs favored that team is just stupid. You have to watch the game and see the situations. I didn't watch the whole game so I'm not commenting on this one game.

None taken. What's more stupid, looking at the stat sheet or listening to several biased members on a card forum? I'm sure I could have pointed out several things that were against the heat or in the wolves favor if I watched the game. It's called being biased.

pingbling23, watch the games before you start in threads like this, because that's all I was pointing out.

FYI, I have not made any comments about Lebron and wont, I feel like I do deserve some people calling me a Troll from recent months and I'm going to try and not do that any more...

[howethegreat]

when playoff time comes the refs will be in full gear, especially against the pacers if/when the heat play them

WOW, dude, I asked if you had seen the game, I thought that was very important to the actually topic being discussed...

Has much as you say I'm a troll(in some cases that's warranted) you mate have a seriously strange need/want to defend your favourite team/player regardless of topic, content/context...

I felt like you making the comments you made in this thread was evidence of that, in turn I'm some how a troll and you guys aren't?

My comments were directed towards the people within this thread that make the same comments. I didn't belittle anyone or make a comment directed towards anyone. I simply said that it's getting very old. If you want to call that trolling, go for it. I'd prefer to make a comment and have a legit discussion, or make a comment so everyone realizes how foolish they're being and leave. You feel the need to turn it into something else and that's what trolling is. Every thread you do the same thing. Take some of your own advice and troll less. People will like you more, it's a fact.

[XARZY]

The last foul call was obviously a make-up call from the 'ghost' foul on Chalmers.

it was to make up for not calling a foul for the foul lebron made against love when he passed the ball from behind the arc to brewer.

these are nothing compared to the calls Heat get in the playoffs and finals

I came into this thread AFTER watching the game and thought nah, i'll leave it alone...I didn't care enough and didn't want to get into it at all mainly because I didn't want to bring up LeBron.

I do in recent months have a rep of being a Troll, this is mainly due with murrke and I going at it...I started to play his games!

I was just so sick of his BS I just went nuts doing the same things he was, so yes, I understand people looking at me with the rep of being a troll....I deserve it.



My intent in this thread however was only to point out how foolish/trolling it is to defend any action by the ref's and call this entire thread a troll when bingpling23 had not actually seen the game, that to me was so insanely wrong it makes no logical sense....


So my rep probably made my intent look much worse than it was...which is understandable....

it doesnt matter, ive watched hundreds of heat games and yet the same people still make up conspiracies.... why is it ok to bring up that stat when the heat shoot more freethrows and people are pointing out bias? but if they point out bias and the facts dont support their argument, we shouldnt use it?

[tennelson55]

can someone explain to why the heat got less ft's and there's a thread on the refs calling the game?
do people know the odds of the home team getting more ft's compared to being on the road? plus this is the timberwolves we're talking about, they don't prosper going to the hoop...

Just because the Heat shot less FTs doesn't mean anything. They got the phantom calls late, LeBron got away with 3 charges by lowering his shoulder into the guy, Bosh got away with going over the back and lower his shoulder. Not to mention the Wolves got called for a none existent over the back by Mbah a Moute. The refs were trying to hand the Heat the game time and time again. If you actually watched the game, you'd understand

You do know the refs have the ability to call a correct foul, right? So don't think calling an actual foul dismisses the multiple charges, phantom fouls, and crazy travels from earlier.

Of course, but then why would they call the foul if they're trying to let Miami win? What's the point of calling all of those other incorrect fouls if you're just going to call a foul on Miami in the last two seconds? What sense does that make?

[alexcampos]

This is pretty much a given nowadays.

Any call that might go the Heat's way is automatically labeled as the Refs helping the Heat and evidence that the NBA is rigged.

Any call that might go against the Heat (even that which costs them the game) is brushed aside or labeled as legit good officiating.

The utter nonsensical and sheer contradictory nature of conspiracy theorists can't be understated and this thread proves it.

[tingyangs6]

Many people are complaining about refs helping Miami. The truth is that the NBA has gone from supporting great teams to supporting superstars. Teams like Bad boys pistons, bird's celtics and magic's lake show were teams that were well supported. But ever since Jordan came in the league, the NBA saw a new way to promote themselves by not the name on the front of the jerseys but rather on the back. Guys like Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, and Durant get a lot of calls their way because they are the face of the NBA. Last night, parsons got some fouls on Durant that were not even fouls. The NBA has to protect their stars. I am a heart broken Kings fan that was disappointed at the kings lakers series because Kobe got whatever he wanted. It's tough and frustrating to be a fan, and refs have so much power in the game of basketball so we just have to live with it. It's just not Miami getting calls but other teams in the past as well.

+1 to this.

[bdoody42]

Everyone knows stars get the calls especially at the end of games. This isn't something new. If you're a team with a superstar like the Heat and have probably the biggest superstar in the league it's not out of the ordinary to think that guy will get away with some things at the end of the game. Same thing goes for other stars like Durant and Kobe. It's not that the refs favor one team just that superstars get calls.
