    This is just bad officiating.

    Also Wade took 3 steps on the travel but you just never ever see that called.

    Unusual position, I agree.

    More often than not, it's usually the other way around.

    I dont get you. Your admitting its rigged, then you say its not. Obviously they are rigging it for indiana this game.

    The goal is to make the heat look weak by struggling against the pacers, and the spurs look strong by sweeping the grizzlies. That way people bet on the spurs thinking they are gonna win a bunch of money. The heat will win in the finals.

    LBJ played 43:19. The Heat are pretty without him.

    Wouldn't it be funny if the Pacers beat the Heat?

    He picked up his dribble after the step back. YOU CAN'T MOVE AGAIN!! That is way too easy of a call.

    He stopped dribbling.

    Took a step forward. Took a step back. Took a second step back. It wasn't a hop step. It was a 1-2 step back that were his 2-3 steps.

    It was a travel.

    You are blind. All he could do after that was pivot on one foot, anything else is a travel.

    Celtics had a 3-2 lead last year and couldn't close out.
    Pacers had a 2-1 lead last year and couldn't close out.
    Bulls and OKC won game 1 and got swept after every game thereafter.

    I don't see it happening unless the refs keep pulling for Indiana like they did tonight.

    Strange, strange game...Indy out rebounded Miami by +19 and FG% was 50% compared to miami's 40% and Indy still only won by 7 pts.

    Heats fangirls are funny. Have they forgotten that the Pacers beat the Heats 2/3 in the regular season?

    Spurs v Miami would be such a hard series for me to watch. I dislike both teams do much.

    Go pacers!

    That was the most obvious travel ever, I was screaming at my TV as he did it.

    Wade gets away with those a lot, not tonight surprisingly.

    Anyways, terrible officiating both ways. Shotclock violation when the ball hit the rim ruined the Pacers momentum. That call on LeBron was awful as well as he set a screen on Stephenson.
