There is going to be a fight here soon, the refs need to try and take control of this game before someone throws a punch.

I miss the days when there were fights but no suspensions.
 
I just noticed Joey Crawford is one of the refs. Probably a good move by Thibs to try and get James to lose his cool, but that wasn't a T. Crawford looked more emotional than James did.
 
Watching it again, Muhammed was in there to try and goad James into punching him.

Im watching it on a crappy feed online, can't rewind anything so I definitely was wrong.

James wasn't on a fast break, Belinelli points at Muhammed, and Muhammed runs up and basically tries to tackle James. James shrugged him off, Muhammed flails to the floor, Crawford calls a T on James, then Muhammed shoves James with two hands, and hard, for no reason.

There was no reason for that foul, so clearly Nazr was in there to try to stir up shit and get James out of the game.

Damn, you can't blame Thibs for this strategy. It seems unsportsmanlike for this day and age but in the 90's that shit was common place. Bad T on james though, he is going to lose it and get tossed this game.
 
If the refs keep letting them play this physically Chicago might go up 2-1, they are a tough team when the refs are letting them play.

I don't blame Thibs. It's dirty and a bit weak, but sound strategy in terms of trying to get your team an advantage when you know you're outgunned.

Absolutely. And if Miami rises above it and wins, Chicago looks silly. BUT if Chicago wins, they're in Miami's heads.
 
Nothing would be more awesome than if Chicago with all the injuries knock Miami out. Not gonna happen, but it would be so fucking awesome.

Yes it would. This could go 7. And then Derrick Rose makes his triumphant return....?
 
Noah with another dumb play fouling Bosh unnecessarily on a rebound. Bosh shooting FTs...
 
This is an epic game. This second round has not dissapointed in any way.
 
What a bad call to send Battier out of the game but not like Maimi hasn't gotten away with a lot this game.
 
Horrible call against Battier but LeBron and the Heat rose above it. LeBron is the greatest in the game.
 
Thibs should have been COY, IMO.

Karl battled injuries as well and led Denver to their most wins in franchise history. And he's coached over 20 years. And he's never won.

There were 3 coach's who really deserved it and you could have picked any of them for the award this year.(Karl/Thibs/Spolestra)
 
They are calling some really really stupid T's in the second round.
 
IMO, this 2nd half will be a telling sign for the entire series. I think if the W's come back to win this game, they'll go on to win the series. Conversely, if the Spurs hold on, they'll take it.
