Rewatch the Knicks game, Lebron is not getting calls going to the basket that he would have gotten last year. Rewatch the Celtics game when Rondo fouls him on every possession, even Jeff Van Gundy was out of his mind about the officials allowing that kind of play without a single call. Just like Shaq, because of his sheer size, Lebron doesn't get calls other players might get. Wade plays a little Ginobli-esque so I don't care if he doesn't get a call, especially during that 9-8 start where he would drive, get contact but no foul, and then stop to complain while the other team was scoring 5 on 4.
13 of the Heat's losses this year have been close enough that a call one on end or the other would have swung it. I have the league pass and I watch two games a night usually, and I can tell you Lebron is not getting calls late that he gets throughout the game. Calls he got last year, calls they do give on the other end. Did you see the foul Wallace picked up on his way to an and one late in the contest?
All that being said, with all the lucky bounces and/or more consistent officiating (which we won't ever get in the NBA, just seems to be tilted against them) the Heat could be an 8 loss team right now. Even if they only get half of those lucky breaks, they would be a 14 loss team. Looking within, since they can't control the breaks, they would be faring alot better right now if they weren't sliding back off double digit leads. They were killing Orlando, NY and Chicago only to lose. They don't let up off the gas and they blow out those three instead of having a 5 game losing streak. They need to decide they are going to snap the necks of their opponents while they are pasting them, not play down to a lull that is hard to get back out of.
