Used to watch tennis a lot. Sampras played tennis like an English gentleman. Agassi played tennis like it was baseball.

And complaining about physical play in football is just downright silly.
Complaining more about how a tackle might first attempt to rip the ball out of the other guys grip. Looks like a couple of girls in a cat fight. Make the damn tackle and keep playing ball.

That's trying to make a good play by forcing a fumble, not bullying and intimidation.

Bosh's block on Green is debatable. 100% ball up top with maybe a little body contact. It looked like the force of the block is what threw him backwards. Most of the time that isn't getting called a foul. In the paint or on a midrange jumper that's never getting called a foul.



If the players were reversed and they called a foul Spurs fans would be screaming bloody murder.

Wow, thanks for posting that. Now I see how bad it was, that should have been called. All I saw on the tv replay was ball on hand, but it was all body, and push to the floor.

I'm rooting for the Spurs (like both teams, just Spurs much more) but my gosh that block by Bosh was epic. He literally came out of no where in a matter of seconds and prevented double overtime.

Check out Splitter's blatantly illegal moving screen to break Green free from Ray Allen in the first place. He looks like a tight end blocking for a running back.


Chris Bosh saves Game 6 and Blocks Danny Green in Overtime - YouTube

If you want talk about no calls, that play shouldn't have even gotten that far.

Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks - Box Score - June 09, 2011 - ESPN

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics - Box Score - June 03, 2012 - ESPN

Pacers at Heat - May 15, 2012 - Game Preview, Play by Play, Scores and Recap on NBA.com


Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers - Box Score - May 28, 2013 - ESPN

See for yourself. Lebron is 6-5 in the last 11 games Crawford officiated.

It's completely inconceivable to me that people are blaming the refs for the Spurs' loss considering how lopsided the officiating was towards the Spurs in the first 3 quarters, especially the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Go through the game call by call and it's not even close who got the better end of the bad calls and no calls.

I don't really care who wins. I like and respect both teams, and I had money on the Spurs last night. But Spurs fans claiming to be victims of the officiating after the way the last 2 games have been called is absolutely asinine.

POST OF THE DAY!

So much for the attempt to appear unbiased with disclaimers of not being a Heat fan and other hand waving. lol.

My 2 cents is that both teams are full of veterans that know how to hide stuff, work the refs and make it look like they got fouled etc.

It's the nature of the beast.

I'm not a Heat fan. But I am certainly pulling for them against the spurs.

The spurs have gotten on pass on all their flopping and whining for years and I'm tired of it.

Vegas says Miami by 6 tonight. I agree.
