Here is one of those Lebron Blocks/No calls ... you be the judge

[StanleySharp]

Finally a Chicago fan comes out and reports on the officiating objectivity

[thezbar]

Look for Rose to continue to drive into the lane in the second half. As for the refs {and I'm on the Bulls in this Game** is about an average home court advantage as I see it.

[thezbar]

Anybody know the second half lines?

[Pivotpoint]

Chicago weathered the storm. Haven't played great. Whether valid or not, heat lead is basically from the line. Play aggressive offense at home and you can't count on getting the calls. Smart basketball. Rose not getting much respect as mvp? Was assulted more than once, driving to the rim. 2nd half is a new game. 1st half helter skelter and Heat benefited from the pace, in addition to drawing fouls. Coach T will make the right adjustments.

He will have too!

You guys are unreal. There are only like 2 posts in this entire thread not talking about the officiating. It's been absolutely fine so far. Any who cites FT disparity doesn't understand that the Bulls just don't create contact well.

This season, Chicago averaged just over 24 FT attempts on the road and the Heat averaged just under 30 FT attempts at home. The NBA averages are 23.8 on the road and 25 at home. So I would expect a FT edge for the Heat. However there are limits to how large that gap can be before I start to question it. We'll see how the game ends up.

Hopefully the calls even out a bit...

Bulls heating up...

Hard to argue against this one.

[SportsPedagogy]

Carlos Boozer gets fouled no call .. great shot by Bibby ... giant flop by james who even nods his head acknowledging his flop .... I had respect for indiana and atlanta , but it really hard to have respect for the heat

[thezbar]

It seems as if the refs are letting them play in the second half.

[geist]

Who doesn't flop?

[Love The Action]

Wow...the different in ft attempts is now 18-9 in favor of Miami. It's not like there haven't been calls to make against Miami either. That's an embarrassment by the NBA. I would think they have to even out at some point as the league does want such a huge disparity.

[josh1307]

That was one hell of a flop though

[thezbar]

Heat 10 / 2 run !!

[StanleySharp]

The 4th quarter should be interesting

[Speedy88]

Tried to get a live bet on the Bulls while they are down by 7, but BetJam isn't offering one.

[Speedy88]

nvm, it's at +7. Already on it.

[Love The Action]

The refs just called multiple offensive fouls on the Bulls during this Miami run. Have they even called one offensive foul on Miami?

[StanleySharp]

The Heat are going to play nothing but 1on1 in the 4th. A lot of isolation plays from Lebron up top...

Hoping this isn't another late game collapse for them and they can finish down the stretch

[SportsPedagogy]

That reply just showed them go over Asiks back when he got injured and there was no foul .. how many of those over the back have the Bulls been called for? This games hasnt been as bad as game 2, but if dont think the refs have a preference then IDK

[Love The Action]

Rose will need to dominate the 4th for the Bulls to have any chance. It's clear the rest of the team is not going to hit their shots consistently.

[Pivotpoint]

Deng

[Love The Action]

Oh man, if that stolen inbounds pass went in, the bulls would have only been down one...and the over wouldn't be looking that bad.

[thezbar]

Deng it's a game heading into the fourth!

[geist]

Rose will pull a Favre... He's too volatile...

[StanleySharp]

LEBRON

[FindTheLock]

james is feeling it from outside. that makes him impossible to guard.

[geist]

Isn't time to lay to rest "LeBrick" moniker? Did he pass the litmus test yet?

Bosh is a best. You gotta love this guy.

I hate him, but he is playing out of his mind.
