Eastern Conference Finals Thread. (1) Miami vs (3) Indiana

[4Corners]

The constant flopping from Miami tunes me completely out of these games.  Its absurd.  The Italians of the NBA

 

Constantly petitioning with the refs...just play the game.

Yeah, Battier in particular.

The constant whining, bullying, & dialogue between them and the officials is annoying and unprofessional. It's a problem that I have with college ball big time.

Ever since that wrongly called shot clock violation, it's been all Heat. It's funny how simple missed calls can have an effect on a game.

Yup. They control the tempo and flow of the game.

NBA playoffs are usually incredible, but there's no doubt in my mind that no pro league in America has a bigger agenda behind it and wants to control the product as much as it can than the nba. It's different than football because unless its the Heat or your home team, people are not watching. Can u imagine a Grizz/Indy finals? Stern and the NBA would have had hated for that to happen.

Pacers need more ball movement.

That flop by Lebron at the 4:00 minute mark was incredible. The NBA is unwatchable when the best players do that.

[HeatCheck]

Damn, what a play by Hibbert. Missed the jump hook, gets his rebound and gets the And-1

[HeatCheck]

LBJ is gone. It was pretty iffy call though.

[4Corners]

I can promise u Stern is absolutely LIVID with Joe Crawford for punching out LBJ.

Nah, with the other series ending early he needs this one to go 7.

This was a terribly officiated game. Terrible calls both ways. Why is Joey Crawford a ref, is beyond me.

The game was officiated very poorly, but I'll still maintain the fact that the Pacers deserved this win. The Heat wouldn't have gotten close again if it wasn't for that blown 24 second shot clock violation.

Not even sure that was a 3 that Allen took right there.

Yep that was a momentum shifter. There was even a foul on the next possession that they called on Stephenson that was very questionable.

 

Well, it's on to a very crucial Game 5. I don't know the odds but I would have to bet the winner of game 5 in a series tied 2-2 usually wins. (Unless you are the Hornets playing the Bucks)

Not really sure you could say that... game had many different runs and swings. It did help with Miami's momentum but there was still a ton of time left.
