Fumbleweed 465 Posted June 21, 2006 Just some general thoughts on the game: Miami played great. Haslem and Walker in particular gave them something they had to have with O'Neal no longer the player that he once was. They were aggressive on the boards....aggressive on defense. They really forced Dallas out of rhythm. I disagree with those that say Dirk let the Mavs down. They ran two, sometimes three people at him constantly. It was up to the other players to step up. Sometimes they did....sometimes not. Dwyane Wade is a great basketball player.....however, the fouls he gets are reminiscent of Jordan. The foul called on Dirk at the end of the game was an awful call....but that's what Wade is getting these days. He creates the contact and then the other guy gets called for the foul. It's ridiculous. That being said, the Heat were clearly the hungrier, more emotional basketball team tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeMiniMe 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Once again I don't know why Dallas went away from attacking the basket. They had so much momentum to start the game and then decided to jack up jumpers. Avery Johnson deserved Coach of the Year, but he was outcoached in the Finals. Growing pains indeed and this really sucks, but if they're able to keep everyone I think they'll be fine next year. They defintely let a series slip through their fingers. This loss sucks worse than Carolina losing to Indiana in the 1981 finals. Fock. Well, I guess it's time to focus on the Buckeye/Tarheel clash in the Big Ten/ACC challenge!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swamp dog 0 Posted June 21, 2006 I know we can't blame the refs, but two phantom calls at the end of game 5 and game 6 against the new NBA poster child really got me pissed!! Ask any non Heat/Maverick fan and I'm sure the majority of them would agree this is done in consultation with corporate america. it's all about marketing and the benjamins. again, it's been decided by those controlling it all that wade is a better poster child than the big, ugly german guy who plays for the mavs. the latest example was the complete bs call on him at the end of the game when wade clearly charged--to go along with the phantom foul on wade at the end of game 5. they should be an asterisk next to this title.

TerrySilver 0 Posted June 21, 2006 kudos to the heat. i honestly didnt care who won this series, i dont hate either team and like shaq wade dirk and terry, but i just wish the refs werent as involved as they where. some of the calls in the last 2 games just shouldnt have been made, and they all happened to go against the mavs. the funny thing is that they didnt need the help from the refs; the way they where playing, they probaly would have won the championship anyway. if there's another silver lining in all this, i bet kobe feels like a pretty big retard right now while watching the finals from his couch at home. put shaq, even an older shaq, with any stud shooting guard and you have a great chance of winning. too bad kobe didnt realize this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeMiniMe 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Just remember, you create your own luck! Wade just happens to move quicker than the officials eyes do. How many of those calls in question were not in question until a slow-motion replay was shown??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the best I could do at 12:30 at night. I was watching the game with the sound off so I didn't hear if they were commenting on officiating during the game. There were a couple of times when I thought the Heat were on the bad end of a call but I figure it evens out. Miami fans are getting used to this since both Marlins World Series victories were considered to be "lucky" also. Like they say, I'd rather be lucky than good, anyday!

I think it's something to consider....the foul did appear to be on Dirk until the replay was shown. Once that happened, however, it was obvious that Wade created contact...pushed off actually.

Bad calls aren't the reason Dallas lost..settling for jump shots are, but as some have said bad calls in the NBA playoffs aren't something new this year... its been happening for a while. I remember the Lakers getting all the calls against the Kings a few years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
