I have not seen a team play with more heart than the Bulls last night (basketball, playoffs)

That was some 90s style action, and I'm glad the refs let them play a bit. Noah and Gibson were really doing the business inside. I haven't rooted for the Bulls that hard since Jordan left, this is a team that's easy to root for.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Heat win 4 straight from here and move on.

Refs tried to cut down on physical play in Game 2 and lost control. Technical for Robinson yelling in his own huddle?

I don't understand the NBA's agenda. Is it trying to be politically correct and not scare white homes into thinking they are angry blacks? It drains the passion and intensity from games.

I played basketball. I want to see 10 guys on the court bruising, yelling, and clawing at each other for an advantage. I DO NOT want to see guys taking turns dunking, dancing and smiling. Especially not in the Playoffs. I know some NBA fans (Especially young ones) watch only for the athleticism & highlights and this has put the NBA on a path towards the AND1 tour.
