Just came across this video and wanted to share it here. It appears that Miami's title was preordained, whether by the league or by the refs. So many of those bad calls were made with the ref standing right there and watching it. They couldn't have missed them so they must have made them on purpose.
It is always so frustrating playing the Heat because you know the game is going to be called one sided. It may not have changed the outcome had the game been called fairly. But we won't ever know. But we do know that the outcome was influenced by the refs and so their championship will always have an asterisk in my mind.
agree...its pre-arranged...nba is biz..need more market share by promoting & sell young names like Lebron
ReplyDeleteu better believe me,,,once lebron goes to another team, that team will be the "next protected heat"

After seeing this video
ReplyDeleteI call the winner Miami C. Heat /
next year change it to Miami F Lop
or Miami Hinting Hoax Hits
You can add the 2006 Miami Heat and the 2010 Lakers to the Asterisk list too. The Heat were all but given the finals against the Mavs that year and the 4th quarter of game 7 of the 2010 Finals was as fixed as a quarter could possibly be.
