    stop blaming the missed call on rondo. there was a minute and a half left and only down 2. the game was far from over. one call or no call does not determine a game. the call wasnt that obvious in fast motion anyway because it came after rondo had already released the ball and it grazed his face. cry about it. they had their chances and they lost, simple as that.

    WONT MATTER, AFTER TONIGHT. THE HEAT WOULD HAVE TO CHOKE OR HAVE MORE INJURIES

    THE REFS WILL GUIDE THE HEAT TO THE FINALS

    Yes. Boston did mess up several times.

    But so did Miami.

    That missed call is huge. You can not dispute that fact. That was a 4 point swing. You can honestly not say that the missed call did not help Miami at all.

    Could Miami still have won? Of course. Especially with the way Boston didn't rebound.

    Rondo makes the free throws, Celtics set up the defense and Miami doesn't get the wide open dunk with Rondo on the floor from being smacked in the head.

    I really dislike the way the league is, at the moment.

    Instead of going, "What if the ref had called this? What if they hadn't called that?"...

    We should be saying "Oh man, what if that jumper had gone in!" or "Can't believe he made that shot!"

    Games seem to be decided by who gets all the foul calls now, instead of simply who steps up and makes the shot. At least the close ones anyway.

    Celtics vs Lebron, Wade + 3 NBA Refs

    Its hard to speculate what would have happened. But if they call that, Haslem probably doesn't get the fast break dunk seconds after.

    Oh well.....on the game 3

    no calls ? maybe because they shot jumpers all night. maybe because they said after game 1 miami players needed to be put on the ground. they played more aggressively and fouled more. they are too slow to rotate quick enough to get in position to defend without fouling.

    i cant believe you people are whining about one call in a game that was 53 minutes long. boston had their chance. they got a career high from rondo, poor shooting from bron, 16 missed FTs, 15 pt lead in the first half, 11 pt lead in the 3rd, 5 pt lead with a chance to go up 8 on a wide open allen 3 with a few minutes left, and they gave it away. if you cant win this game with all that idk what to tell you other than miami is clearly the better team.

    We understand that you are a Miami fan and that Miami is the better team. Because Miami has so much talent....that makes the missed call all the more damaging.

    look fellas, its obvious they missed a big call on rondo, but yall actin like they never miss a call on lebron and wade who do nothin but drive to da rim, thats why they be gettin alotta foul calls. it go both ways. i can count too many times in this series when lbj or wade got hacked drivin and NO CALL. thats just truth. calls get missed. it aint like this is lakers vs kings 2002. an i aint trollin, it just truth

    Anyways, at least Boston proved that they can go toe to toe with Miami, even at least in this game. As long as there is a go to guy for them, like Rondo did tonight there is a chance.

    Series can still go 2-2 back in Boston, hopefully :grin:
