Bottom line, MIA will more than likely receive some unwanted/unneeded aid from the refs. I would be shocked if they didn't.....it is a shame really because MIA doesn't need it. LBJ/Wade/Bosh can take out the C's on their own. However the NBA isn't going to take that risk. It is what it is I suppose.
The reality is that people should be surprised the free-throws disparity isn't as big as it is. The Heat are much more aggressive than the Celtics, and are expected to be at the line more often. During the regular season, the Heat took 28 and the Celtics 22. People are simply making excuses. If the Heat win, it's the refs. If they lose, they choked. The only way they can win justly is if LBJ and Wade and Bosh all struggle with foul trouble and the Celtics take more ft's than the Heat -- contradicting logical because they are superstars for a reason. Also, 6 Miami free throws from game 2 are the result of intentional fouls in the last 20 seconds. If you cry foul, make a video showing where the refs went wrong to convince the world.

Show me the part where I said that. Pluto, show me where I stated that rings mean everything... You people here jump on posters when they don't even say anything wrong and put words in their mouths to change the complete argument. If you deny that he has a tarnished reputation it's ridiculous. I'm not saying he's not one of the best of all-time, but you can't dismiss the fact that people will never consider him GOAT level unless he starts to come big in 4th quarters and elimination games, especially in the Finals. Saying he has nothing left to prove is a horrible statement and 100% wrong.
I didn't catch the game, but I heard that LerBon went to his old Cleveland mode on the Celtics. I don't see Boston coming close to winning if he does so again.
Ok, well that's one call. To convince people, you would need a compilation of all the said unfair whistles. The refs also fouled LBJ out in game 4.
I didn't think we'd have a game 7, but props to Lebron. And as much as I've disliked how he has handled the spotlight post-The Decision, I hope the young man will drop 50 on the Celtics, especially for the idiot fan who doused him. Don't care who wins, but I'll be glued to the tv.
Yea I didn't like that either.......I understand things get heated (no pun intended) but you don't have the right dump things on LeBron. I like the way he handled the situation. I wonder if the person who did it has been found out?
I also like how Wade didn't react when a fan threw the ball at his head. Some things are bigger than basketball and I commend both Wade and LeBron for their self control. I know what would have happened if they had reacted negatively.
Boston was so terrible in game 6, I can't see them winning tonight. They are spent. If the Celtics win, it will be because both terms were pathetic. If Miami plays average, they have it in the bag. Would be better for the NBA if Miami won. The general public will be let down and pay less attention to the Finals otherwise. The more I think about it, the more I see tonight as the Heat's chance to make a statement.
They already did. They made a statement that they are vastly overrated by having this series goes 7 games. If Wade doesn't get it going tonight, he's hopeless.
I hope Boston wins, but I think LBJ will be too much. I dislike him, but it's the truth. And then, I see them losing to the Thunder is 5 or 6.
I wish I could be as sure as some of you gents, but I have no effing clue which versions of these teams will show up. So damn inconsistent.
