EPTThis is the kind of game that crushes your spirits and gives your opponents heart if you manage to lose it.
Time to step up somebody and put down OKC please.

either of these teams deserve to be in the final they have both been playing rubbish. Game 2 of Miami/Chicago was pretty atrocious basketball. | ||

Modern era NFL officiating has never received the amount of scrutiny that playoff basketball does. Rarely is a game decided by refs in football. Your example is an anomaly. | ||

Your example is an anomaly. Modern era NFL officiating? As opposed to the era before instant replay? Why even say that? And when has the NFL ever gotten less scrutiny in anything, especially officiating? Good God, I hope you're trolling me. But I guess it's an opinion thing...so okay, there we go. | ||

I said modern era to cover the troll bait of "WUT ABOUT BEFORE INSTANT REPLAY." Obviously you aren't a Mavericks fan who witnessed the 2006 finals or a Kings fan who saw the Lakers-Kings WCF 2002 fix. I have always felt that the NBA, who had a referee prosecuted for game fixing and point shaving, has received more scrutiny than the NFL. | ||

It's the same every single season and somehow, through all odds, the NBA has managed to survive. Yeah, where do people get the idea that playoff basketball is a high scoring Suns vs Warriors game? A certain former MVP went 6-24 in a game 7 win last year. When defenses are tough, drawing fouls has greater value. And I'm going to have to go off on this whole officiating whining. Why do fans have to rediscover that officiating every year? It's like people have the short term memory of squirrels. Let's go back to the difficulties of officiating: it's fast there are tons of uncalled fouls each possession in more physical playoff basketball, there are even more fouls Most fans can't tell the criteria discerning blocking fouls from charges (it's not getting the feet set). and finally selection bias. If some of you really think officiating is horrible, make a list of wrong plays as you see them, before instant replay. Then a bunch of people can study them, and see if your success rate is higher than the refs. | ||
