That block was all ball. LBJ got shut down. I'm still saying Magic in 6

The block was all ball, but the ref was behind Howard, so its not hard to see why he called it a foul. The amount of crying about the reffing favoring the Cavs is kinda funny, seeing as the Magic shot 16 more free throws on 10 less fouls.

there's FTA and foul disparity because they went to essentially "hack-a-howard". Unless it was just so wide open they try to make Howard earn it. What don't get is why they didn't do it on Gortat instead with off the ball fouls. He played 24 minutes. the game was still close through out and howard was hitting a good %.

Add in that towards the end they started to foul people to try and trade baskets.

You probably should consider than in the 1st round. Lebron took more free throws than the Pistons combined. So people likely took that into account also. The Hawks series he got plenty of free throws also probably about 40 to 50% of what the Hawks did as a team.

I just saw a video clip where SVG calls the BCS system "ridiculous" and implied college football is not a "real sport" (presumably because of BCS rankings).

Way to go Stan! Get 'em!

After 3 connecting flights, two bus rides, and finally checking in at the hotel (since 8am PST on sunday), I arrive at hotel (totaling 28 hours of travel time). I took a 3-4 hour nap just so i can watch the game.. I left the TV on espn since it showed cavs highlights yesterday. I'm hoping it changes back in time. brb, going to grab some breakfast, and hope to death this taiwanese espn channel changes back to the NBA... unless someone tells me where. hahaha

Yep, the refs got the "stern" memo.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

lol jump ball, although fish clearly had possession and not a jumpball... Ref's have been pretty bad thus far in both conference finals

 

[dbk]

JR Smith had 4 assists in the 1st half?? I don't believe it. He'll probably finish with 4 assists.

I hope Melo's ankle is alright...

They called a blocking foul on Fisher when he clearly had position also.
