May 30, 201313 yr I'll give you 13.5. Avatar bet? This could be quite possibly the easiest bet I've ever made in my life.. I'm in!
May 30, 201313 yr Lebron was fined $5k for flopping. Lebron made $4500 PER MINUTE this season. Nice Kicks @nicekicks 19m LeBron's $5,000 fine for flopping is the equivalent of a $10 fine for someone making $40,000 a year.
May 30, 201313 yr We have seen enough of this series to know it comes down to one thing - tempo. If the Pacers can make it a grind it out half court game and limit the turnovers, they have a legit shot at winning. Prediction - LeBron will pound the boards tonight, put together a triple double and lead the way to a Heat win.
May 30, 201313 yr Wait, what? Really? The NBA went against Miami? Oh my good Lord above give me the words to post here and not allow myself to get suspended to reflect the insanity of this statement. All I'll say is I bet LeBron doesn't come close to fouling out tonight. He was called for four fouls in the fourth. The refs brought Miami back to make it interesting and then made sure they didn't win. More people become interested in the series, the NBA wins. I refuse to believe NBA refs are as bad as they were on Tuesday. The offiiating during the game was so one sided at any point it wasn't funny. It went both ways.

To think the league would purposefully jeopordize their best bet at ratings (The Heat) is hilarity in the highest form.
May 30, 201313 yr Your point is beyond insanity. To think the league would purposefully jeopordize their best bet at ratings (The Heat) is hilarity in the highest form. I'm sure some thought the same thing before the Tim Donaghy scandal as well. The Knicks win the lottery to get Patrick Ewing. Cleveland wins the lottery to get hometown superhero Lebron James. The Lakers can't have Chris Paul from the League Owned New Orleans Hornets but David Stern's buddy Donald Sterling, Clippers owner, can have him. Naw, the league would never have any funny business going on. Their track record is spotless.
May 30, 201313 yr Heaven forbid the refs actually call fouls....fouls. The nerve! Too bad it was a Tuesday. If it was Monday they never would call those fouls. That's the beef about the foul calls...for those truly paying attention. They were all fouls and a walk but they don't call them consistently. Call them consistently. Be consistently bad or consistently good. Once you get into calling them every 100 occurrences then of course people will be pissed and holler that funny business is going on. Duh.
May 30, 201313 yr Your point is beyond insanity. To think the league would purposefully jeopordize their best bet at ratings (The Heat) is hilarity in the highest form. I don't think the league will let Miami lose the series if they can help it. But it's great for ratings if it looks like a team can actually beat Miami. This series has been gold for the league.

Naw, the league would never have any funny business going on. Their track record is spotless. I do not in any way believe the league would go against their best chance at ratings, no way. They are probably praying Indy doesn't win setting up Spurs-Pacers which would leave a lot of casual fans not watching.

Never mind the Los Angeles and Sacramento series or the league giving DWade a title over Dallas.

This series has been gold for the league. The Heat may roll through the Pacers tonight, but the fact remains they are in jeopardy. One bad break (rolled ankle or whatever) and the Heat are possibly done. Losing Game 4 set up that possibility. Game 4 Heat win and the series was over. I don't buy it. The biggest call of the game could have easily been the shot clock disaster that was a 4 point swing.
