I can't believe I'm saying this but if it's a Heat - Thunder rematch, I am pulling for LeBron and the Heat.

After that ridiculous MVP speech by Durant and Westbrook being so unlikable, it's hard to like those guys.

The refs were horrible the whole game.

It stinks when refs are bad enough where they totally change the result of the game.

My guess is the Clippers get an inordinate amount of foul calls in game six.

Doc going off in post game presser. Awesome.

It's a shame the officials were afraid to get booed by the OKC crowd. Bunch of cowards. What a shame.

Randolph suspended and now this. NBA is more corrupt than boxing. The Thunder have won the last 12 games officiated by Tony Brothers.

I really wish we had went after SVG.

But I'm pretty sure he picked Detroit cause he gets say in personnel.

Wonder who we get stuck with.

I want no part of SVG if they are giving him complete control. I do not think he warrants it.

Not much of a shocker, but there's 2 guys that make Miami damn near impossible to beat and that's ironically the front court when they go small. Lebron and Bosh are deadly and impossible to scheme against when they're in sync. They give Miami a ton of flexibility on offense and defense.

How replay is used in sports can be so flawed that it makes you wonder how well these leagues actually thought through the possibilities.

Example from the game earlier: End of the game with seconds left, Nets with ball down 2, Pierce is clearly fouled by Lebron and the ball clearly goes out on Pierce. No foul is called and, after some confusion, the ball is given to the Nets.

To replay. Since fouls can't be reviewed, the ball should go to the Heat here, unless the refs openly defy what the replay rules say... which they did, by having the Nets keep the ball. It's just an utterly stupid system.

At the very least, amend the rule such that the refs can do such a thing... i.e. have the ability to decline to reverse a call when doing so would clearly result in the 'wrong' call being made.

13-3 run... to win by 2.

Way to go Brooklyn..

Editors Note: I almost called them Boston.. Cause.. Yeah..

You had to know Miami was going to win. They're just like Jordan's bulls of the 90's. Would trail the whole game, and would get you in the final minutes. They would do that to the Cavs every time. So frustrating.

Touche.

Since there's no NHL tonight, I guess I'll have the NBA games on in the bakground.

IND 181 O/U
Wash -4

I'll take Indiana and the under

OKC 212.5 O/U
LA -4.5

I'll take LA giving the points and the under (hope I said that right)

Washington and the Under

Clippers and the Under

I'll take Washington and the over, And OKC and the under.

So on the really big show today, rizzo was saying John Calipari and Dan Hilbert have a had a couple conversations. What's that all about?

So that Andrew Wiggins fella....

He would only come to Cleveland, if he knew Lebron was coming back. I guess George Karl wants the job badly.

Indiana half asses their way through 90% of the season, but finally get what they want.

Yes, but I will have to go with miami in 6. Indy is too up and down for me, and they still have not much of a point guard.

Indiana has no chance against Miami.

Kind of sad we all knew who'd be in the conference finals after last year ended. Should be great games though.

Tough to watch these games and not believe the NBA is rigged. That call on Paul against Collison where he left his feet and jumped into Paul was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

I hope it's Miami - OKC.....I'm pulling for Miami all the way.

Spurs in 4

Ibaka out for the rest of the playoffs. That is a huge blow to the Thunder. Good two way bigs are hard to come by.

Even before this season began I knew Miami would be right there at the end of the playoffs. Basically pencil them in every year until the Big 3 finally disband, which probably won't happen for another 5 years... I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if behind closed doors the NBA will secretly set up the red carpet for the Heat to go on their "glorious" run of 5-10 straight NBA Titles just to please LeBron and the LeBrontourage... I'm just gonna say it.

To those who say the NBA is healthy in every way, I'd say you're full of it. To me only, the NBA has never felt more rigged, predetermined and pointless as it is now.
