I do feel like that should have been a technical foul - he is clearly capable of distracting the player. I just don't think I've ever seen a coach get on the court so far when the play is in his own zone? I'm not complaining about the refs, I just think that's absurd, especially when I was watching it live and he was waving his arm (obviously wanting someone to cover Westbrook) and got WAY TOO CLOSE and could have easily disrupted the play. Wow, how is that not a technical foul?

Reading these last couple of pages I've learned a couple of things...I have no idea what the hell the Bulls need to do to get to the next level and I really do f***ing miss Micheal Jordan/Scottie Pippen. PS, I'm drunk, a bit nostalgic, so f***ing sue me...

MJ's block is pretty ridiculous, and he did it as an old man.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) My lord. He's just some random dude somewhere on a computer. I'm sure you can stalk him down and chat with him if you want to, most people here were happy to talk about Rubio and KEVIN.LOVE. with the guy, but he knew what he was doing everytime he brought up D-Rose. He's over it, so I'm sure you can live without the great Felix - or find him posting in a WNBA thread somewhere. lol J4L talking about how horrible this thread is really funny, I didn't know you had to spit Jerry West type of knowledge to post here...the problem is we can't get Larry Brown, Greg Popovich or Phil Jackson to post here...therefore this thread sucks!!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) Please. You and everybody here owes me for bringing some variety and a different perspective to this abomination of a thread. You and the rest of the crybabies in here chased off one of the best posters (felix) this board has ever seen. Why? Because he chose not to suck Rose's cock and recognize this is the NBA thread and not the Bulls thread aka Rose is so amazing because he's humble aka the refs are the reason the bulls ever lose aka LeBron should never see the ft line and if he does its a conspiracy garbage.

I don't know if this was posted here before but Brad Daugherty chimes in on the percieved help from the refs the Heat get. http://m.deadspin.com/5915178/espns-brad-d...--the-officials It's not only Bulls fans who think Miami gets special treatment from the officials, go to any NBA forum and people from every NBA team fanbase are complaining. Last night wasn't so bad but I would love to see OKC get the same calls Miami did last night.

lol at the obvious no call on LeBron.

People shouldn't be so hard on LBJ if the Heat don't win it all this year, last year he was the reason the Heat failed, this year he might have to score 40 plus every game for the Heat to win, OKC is simply the better and more balanced team. If he goes 0-3 in the Finals, you could give him a break for his first Finals, a 22 year old leading his team vs a dynasty Spurs team isn't a fair fight, this year the Heat aren't better than OKC...last year he stunk up the joint and got clobbered in the media, rightfully so. This year, if he plays well, I'll give him a pass if he loses.

I think LBJ is gonna show up in these Finals, I don't expect him to disapear like like he did a year ago...still OKC is deeper and they win in 7.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 02:26 AM) As a basketball fan, this is something that I should know. But reading this shocked the s*** out of me. Only three f***ing teams from the west have seen the finals since 23 shoved Byron Russell out of the way for #6. That is f***ing mind-boggling. He did no such thing, how dare you

Obviously the Western Conference was better this year as in recent years but the Eastern Conference was destroyed by injuries, Horford, Howard, Rose, Bosh, Knicks and half of the Celtics. For some damn reason, the West really hasn't been hit hard other than Billups. OKC has made a believer out of me, I thought there youth would be a weakness vs SAS but that hasn't been the case.

Maybe LeBron doesn't want to get fouled and have to make late game FTs?

RIP Orlando Woolridge http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7996539/...olridge-dead-52

SA was due for a bad game...still think they win in 5 or 6 max.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2012 -> 09:22 AM) Personally I'd go with Miami getting screwed and losing to Boston and then Boston getting swept in the finals, but your way works too. just makes me more nervous to have them get NBA-finals close again. I think it would be funnier if the Heat get to the Finals back to back and have nothing to show for it. I have no doubt in my mind that SA is gonna win the NBA title this year, they are absolutly locked on and a flawed team like Miami isn't beating them (with or without Bosh)...unless the refs help them out.

Is this what rebuilding looks like? lol

Sweep

Is it just me or has Carlos Peña lost weight?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 24, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) The Pacers totally took Roy Hibbert out of this series after game 3. That was the only advantage they (Pacers) had. Heat have 4 days off now. Fixed Indy didn't even look to go inside during huge stretches these last few games, instead they were chucking up horrible shots. They could've beaten Miami if they played smarter. Unfortunatly for Miami, San Antonio won't make that same mistake, now that's a smart team led by easily the best basketball head coach in the NBA.

You know the Eastern Conference sucks when the 76ers are a game away from the EC Finals. I thought Boston might give Miami trouble but they can't even put away a garbage Philly team...then again, it comes down to match ups and Bosh won't be anywhere near 100%.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2012 -> 01:01 PM) Ugh. Don't even say things like that. it couldn't get worse than Phil putting those mental midgets on the road to multiple titles. This x infinity

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 23, 2012 -> 10:11 AM) You need someone talking when the team is going bad? Do you need Vin Scully telling you Alexei Ramirez was Batman for Halloween when he was 8 years old? Hawk is a television announcer., not a radio guy. Everytime the Sox are on network TV, people are complaining about the announcers. There really isn't anyone everyone would be happy with. I know Vin Scully is revered but personally, I can't stand the constant yapping.

I don't mind Hawk, he can be annoying sometimes but I see him as that old cranky White Sox fan uncle I wish I had...good for a laugh or two during games. We can do better but we could also do much worse. How about making a poll on this question?

The Spurs have really had OKC's number over the last couple of seasons, granted it's regular season games but I think the Spurs advance to the Finals. If both Miami and San Antonio meet in the Finals, it'll be athleticism vs fundamentals basketball, it'll be fun to watch. Pop>>>>Spo/Riley

Can't wait for SAS/OKC, those are the real NBA Finals.
