huh? They fouled and didn't get the call First Battier fouled Blake but the ref didn't call it immediately, and then Wade fouled Billups. Thats why they were arguing with the refs.

It looked to me that they were trying to go for the steal first and foul if that didn't work, and it ended up biting them in the ass because the refs were looking for a more significant foul attempt than what they did. To be honest, it was a silly thing to get pissed about anyway since the game was pretty much over at that point (3 pts down with either Paul or Billups going to the line with very little time on the clock), and the Heat had no one to blame but themselves with the missed FTs, 12-minute offensive collapse, and stupid fouls by Lebron on jumpshots.

I think they were going to lose either way, but the one where Battier fouled Blake and they didn't immediately call it wasted a ton of time. Either way there were so many missed and delusional referee calls that made the game insane.

Great night to be a fan in Los Angeles.

Two Overtime games, two awesome performances by Kobe and Paul, two clutch blocks that decide overtime.

I'm emotionally drained after today lol.

The one where Battier yanked Blake back and down by his jersey to prevent him from grabbing the rebound and allowing Wade to throw the ball off of DJ at the end sticks out the most in my mind, particularly since the refs decided to review the play to see who the ball went off of. I'm sure they must've been thinking "ohhhhhhh damn... that was pretty bad and we totally missed it..." It was so blatant and ridiculous that I couldn't help but be amused

Seriously. I'm almost tempted to say that a win via block is better than one via made shot. "A field goal here would tie/win the game here... here he comes off a screen, he goes up.... BLOCKED!! Game over!!!"
