The Bulls dont have Derrick Rose.

The Celtics couldnt beat the Hawks and will lose Rondo for a game.

The Pacers lost to a Howard-less Magic team.

The Knicks dont have Iman Shumpert or Jeremy Lin. They got completely destroyed by Lebron.



Lebron James and the Miami Heat will skip to the Finals with his eyes closed.

the heat suck and they will only do well because other teams have issues

lets just ignore the heat being #2 in the east ahead of all those teams you named minus chicago, who they beat last year in 5 anyways

lame

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Too many people are expecting the Heat to have this unmatched run to the Finals.

 

[Mexi]

i've always thought the heat are flat out better than everyone in the east anyways
proved it last year, will prove it again this year

Who's going to beat us? The favored team lost in the first round in every series other than the Bulls and the Heat and the Bulls are now without their best player. Cakewalk.

This is the problem.

I'm not saying they won't make it, because they likely will, but you would have to be a fucking idiot if you think getting to the finals is ever a cakewalk.

This is why Amar'e needs to play off the bench. It's all Melo right now. Stat doesn't even know what color the ball is yet.

Tyson dunk = Technical Foul

Wade tosses Bibby’s shoe into the crowd = No Foul

 

[MR.ballin]

Tyson Chandler does stare down tech.
Blake Griffin does stare down no tech.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

idk if there's any truth to it but i've seen a stat around on Twitter the last few minutes that when Joey Crawford T's somebody up, that team ends up 1-19 this season. So yeah, Knicks are going to lose.

Can we ban referee talk? Please? It's got to be the most annoying thing on this site.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

nope

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Referee talk is a must when they do such a shitty job at it.

 

[MR.ballin]

It's annoying when you can clearly tell the refs are favoring a team over another.

 

[elcheato]

There will always be bad calls with a human referee, it's unavoidable. They can't be perfect. Complaining about it, is pointless, everyone goes through it.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

to be honest though, they haven't called some of LeBron's flops tonight so obviously they have improved. So i'll give 'em that.

PS. Is it only annoying when we say negative things about them?

Nobody is asking them to be perfect.

People just want them to do a better job, at their JOB. That call on Tony Allen last night was pathetic. But I guess we shouldn't talk about it?

It was a strict call, I even pointed it out, but constantly complaining about it is stupid.

A bad call in the last minute is no different than a bad call in the first minute.

 

[Hurricane Season]

This Pacers team isn't a threat to anybody.

only if we say something positive - because the world is all rainbows and lollipops.
