Was this by far the worst officiated game I've seen. How does Shaq get away with the wrap-around EVERYTIME HE IS IN THE PAINT! and how does Chauncy get his lip split no real foul is called in his favor. i love my team, and i know we did suck it up, but part of me feels like we were just frustrated... worst game ever.

    I'm not a huge fan, but dude was hitting his FT's in the 4th. Maybe Miami can start to get a little respect now. Wade had a quiet 2nd half and the pistons still got run on! Everyone acts like they don't even deserve to play in the ECF.....On to Game 4.

    I thought Billups hit his mouth on the floor and thats why he started bleeding... Shaq's been doing that for too long, they let him do it... on the other hand people be beating him up too, if you can imagine that so...

    I HATE blaming games on officiating, but after seeing this shit first hand...



    it's really hard not to do.



    dwayne wade didn't even get touched at the end of the first half when they called the last foul...shaq wrap arounds and countless other touch fouls. it seems like the officials wanted to make this a western conference game last night (i.e. run and gun type ball, less d)...i really can't believe what i saw at the game. very dissappointing.



    a major turning point was after detroit reclaimed the lead then rasoul butler made the 4 pt play, which was preceeded by another 3. 7 pts in 30 seconds after detroit shut them down nearly the whole quarter is demoralizing.



    the bottom line was that detroit put more than enough points on the board to win the game, they just couldn't play their d (mainly b/c of the officiating imo). either way, miami just reclaimed home court advantage, which probably assures that this will turn into a 7 game series in which I still believe detroit will pull through.



    btw...dwayne wade is something for chicago to be proud of...that dude is nuts.

    As much as I support and love the Heat...I think this is true. either way, it's going to be a good series.

    Granted, the officiating wasn't great, but the Pistons got twice as many shots in the fourth quarter and hit like a quarter of them. Ben Wallace was shooting threes when they were only down 10 with like three or four minutes left. It just looked like they gave up.

    just saw these... those officials should be shot.

    damn! if those aren't fouls, i don't know what is...

    yeah you're right actually, that's bullshit. League wants the heat in the finals I guess.

    Exactly...All the officiating in the world ain't gonna help Detroit score. It's painful to watch Chauncey and Rip shoot the Rock.

    this is the last time im going to whine... but those two techs that we got was a direct result of frustration due to bad officiating. if you feel like the officials are not being fair, its hard to get your game straight... i dunno, maybe thats a sign of a great player--someone who can own their skills regardless of an onslaught of bad calls.

    SO EFFIN NERVOUS FOR TONIGHT!!!

    From what I've heard though, nobody in the organization is bothered by the Larry to Cleveland thing. Everyone is like "who cares? we know Larry is going to make a decision but we know we have a job to do!" I think it's just bad timing, cause it's all anybody (else) wants to talk about right now.

    Brown was contacted yesterday by The Associated Press as he watched a Star Wars movie with his daughter, Brown refused to comment other than to say: "If I'm healthy, my goal is to be the coach of the Detroit Pistons. That's the only thing that's really real."

    im really pissed off at the cavs ops. such unneccs press ish to deal with.

    GAME 4 - yeah buddy. Rip is a beast.

    Man, the NBA is ready to make Dwayne Wade out to be Michael Jordan. The boy is good, but the only way to prove dude's greatness can only be if he didn't have Shaq.

    I think the Pistons have the Heat where they need them. It's obvious... just get the physical centers in foul trouble, more room to focus on Wade. Pistons have enough big men to take it to them.

    What?

    Dwyane took an average Marquette team to the Final Fucking Four and was averaging 16 ppg as a rookie, before Shaq joined the Heat. He will only become greater as time progresses.

    Yo, I don't ever remember Michael Jordan winning a championship by himself either. Ever heard of Scottie Pippen? Mike had help too, so that's a really lame-duck argument.

    Not necessarily my point... Kobe was considered to be the next Jordan too, but it was obvious who was the glue of the winning Lakers. I think Wade is only going to get better. In fact, I think he's frighteningly good. He's young though, so he's still makes dunderhead mistakes. All I'm saying is that Wade is doing well primarily due to the Shaq factor and that should always be a factor when people talk about how great he's doing.

    Oh... and the Mike and Scottie dynamic is different that Shaq and an awesome guard.

    Anyway... go Pistons.

    Shaq hasn't won anything without Kobe, so until he does, you can kill that argument.

    There's a younger player out there who I'd take over Wade if I were starting a team (not to say that I don't think he's absolutely sick).
