Bulls/Heat Game 2 In-Game Thread

[LarryF]

It's the NBA, the "Heat Rules" are being enforced by the referees.
The calls against the Bulls suck!

[chantrain]

We lose the half...we would have been up double digits if it wasn't for the dumb ass refs

[Love The Action]

The refs are singlehandedly trying to push the game over...

[postal warrior]

David Stern can't have his golden boy James and the Heat getting blown out by 20 points every game so I'm sure the refs got the memo to get the Heat in the bonus early if they can't score.

[ThaTopMoron]

after MIA takes the lead here going into half plus refs on their side...


f this... i'm blindly gonna take MIA 2h big just cause of the refs + bulls under 40% and korver not hitting. bulls will stay in foul trouble and not get into any rhythm like the first half so it will be hard to ever build up any lead on the heat, be up a couple most of the game = heat can kill you late in the game if you aren't building up the lead plus they are getting calls so they will attack the rim all half. example, celtics games 4 and 5.

f you refs if i follow the fix and you don't come thru for me!!!

[geist]

F*&^ Rose, Noah, and Boozer!

[geist]

LBJ is driving with same frequency as Rose. Keep it up, Rose

[Mthorn]

Hopefully chi will dominate 2h

Dude 14 fouls have been called on BOTH teams. Refs are favouring nobody.

[geist]

Tides are turning. Honeymoon's over for the Bulls and Boozer, that ugly mofo.

bulls fouls are horse shit... MIA actually does foul cause they suckkkkkk

obviously not watching the game. Heat were in the bonus with 9 ******* minutes to go in the 2nd quarter, on ticky tacky BS calls

Dude, you need to see the difference between actual and phantom fouls... so yeah, refs are indeed favoring Heat by giving them calls that aren't there. Unless you think both teams should always get the same amount of calls, no matter how much they actually foul / get fouled

[wilfor1]

Refs are fine. Sick of all these amateur bettors who haven a clue cryin "rigged"

[SportsPedagogy]

Wad has been to the line 3 times.... please justify that last one on Korver where wade had no where to go... Of course its 14-14, but that doesnt tell the story. All those B.S. tacky calls to get Miami in the bonus early ... really ?

Alamo is quickly becoming one of the worst posters on the forum.

"Chicago vs Miami, look for Noah to be hit with some early fouls."

"I hate to say this, but that might be the 3rd or 4th bad call by Jason Phillips"

They probably know a bit more the you or me ...

Really? I didn't see the Bulls in the bonus at the 9 minute mark but I'm actually watching the game so maybe I missed something.

Yeah. Clearly the NBA has never been in question for being rigged.

[thezbar]

I agree with the theme of this thread. It appears as if the refs were trying to create a close contest. Those cheap fouls at the start of the second quarter stopped a big lead for the Bulls from happening. Bulls are usually strong in the third so I will give them the edge at this point. Credit to the Heat for staying close.
The Bull either win or lose this game. I don't see the heat flat out winning it unless its tied in the final minute.

LMAO, obviously you never played basketball on a competitive level, or you would not be making such comments... It's never cool when the refs try to decide the game instead of players. Whether you've hcp'd it or not...

Learn to hcp? If you don't at least consider ref's when handicapping at this stage in the NBA playoffs you should never call anyone else "amateur".

[geist]

first gaming was an abomination, pure talent will override soon.

[politicin]

Worst officiated game I've seen in my life. Bulls were up by 1 point with 7 minutes to go in the 3rd game 1 and ended up winning by 21 points Geist. You're a homer.

[alamo]

Funny thing is - All the posters who think the "RIG" is in are not backing the OVER or MIAMI!

Its like saying - The refs are on Miami. Ok so I think I will back the Bulls at HT

[politicin]

It seems it's just anybody who has eyes.

[SportsPedagogy]

Miami is stepping up the defense and moving the ball better, i still feel the Bulls were slighted in the 2nd ... Chicago may lose this game, but i have faith they will prevail.

I wonder how much of this reffing has to do with all the money on Chicago. .... last play was an example, no foul on Rose, but they gave it on Boozer, then said he wasnt shooting .. glad Noah made up for it

[SportsPedagogy]

Bulls shooting % is killing them, even the wide opened shots.

[politicin]

Meanwhile, to say Boozer wasn't shooting is UNBELIEVABLY stupid.

[SportsPedagogy]

Nice travel by james ... count the basket and 1

[alamo]

Thats the Refs fault too right?

[chantrain]

this is a loss....refs not gonna let us win this game or the series either. Tim Donaghy was right

[politicin]

Pretty tough to get on a rhythm when you're being called for breathing.
