The real injustice is that Wade didn't get suspended for his act on Collison. Maybe Pittman deserved a little more. Other than that, all the other suspensions and non-suspension are reasonable.
This all started with fake tough guy Danny Granger. David west tried to tackle LeBron, but west just ended up falling down. The heat would have the best shot against spurs/okc. Philly and Celtics just don't look very good. I couldn't even watch the 1st half.
Oh boy, the NBA assigns 3 refs for this game known for having "a quick hook." http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/201...ips-indiana-pacers-targeting-miami-heat-stars
Link? I am not aware of Granger or anyone else talking trash in game 1 or in game 2 prior to Wade's flagrant foul on Collison.
I don't know when it all started either, but to me I think it was the very first game when Granger started all this. Never understood this tough guy act, lets get in peoples faces like hes going to do something.
Granger's Sprained Ankle the Size of a “Small Softball” http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.c...-sprained-ankle-the-size-of-a-small-softball/
It's pretty laughable that so many referees have reputations and temperaments that directly affect how games go.
The entire Indiana Pacers should put up the choke symbol when Lebron goes to shoot his first free throws. That would show that they don't give a ****.
miami critically short on the front line, and refs call a foul on turiaf on the first hibbert post up. the refs are going to rig it for the heat!!! edit: and hibbert fouls wade on his first drive with no call. we might as well just fast forward to game 7.

i guess we also might as well fast forward to game 7 because miami didn't bother to show up. night and day intensity compared to game 4.

Not sure if this has been brought up yet but with West having a field day out there, wouldn't it make more sense to put LBJ on West and move Bat to Granger?
