    Tim Donaghy on the officials.

    Tim’s Take

    Starting at tipoff, the tone will be set for the entire series, with Javie, Callahan and Kennedy sending the message tonight. Whistles will be blown early and often, with the hopes of creating a non-physical flow to the game, and by extension the whole series.

    Once the players are beaten into submission by the whistle in the first quarter, the rest of the game should see fewer interruptions. Once adjusted, the focus will be on the players and not the officials.

    Javie will control the game and require (with his whistle) that the players and coaches follow his guidelines so that the fans can enjoy a game without having to witness the players’ childish behavior.

    Callahan will turn away from any controversy but will jump in early with his whistle to put the damper on any overly-physical play. His early calls will focus on hand checks above the foul line and bumps in the paint.

    Kennedy will stay out of the way except for calling obvious fouls. If the game is close late in the fourth he will swallow his whistle and let Javie and Callahan control the outcome. Last year in Boston, Kennedy made several mistakes in the fourth quarter, making his appearance in these finals a bit shocking.

    or a Heat fan who refuses to believe that the refs are giving them the calls in crunch time. Im not sure how you can discredit a guy who knows the refs better then anybody on this site. Hes broken down videos in slow motion and pointed out where the Heat go calls at the end of the games. From what i have seen, the refs have been doing a good job of keeping each team in the game until it gets late. Dallas got some bad calls their way when they were down, then Miami got them when they were down, then , when the game was on the line, the Heat would attack the basket and and casual brush was called a foul, while on the other end, im pretty sure Dirk got hit in the face and there was a no call.
