A

The refs called more fouls on the heat and the pacers shot more free throws but y'all still arguing about heat getting the calls. What games are y'all watching?

You are obviously a die hard stan if you didnt see the bias techs and the dirty play history from D Wade, lebron drawing contact has nothing to do with ghost techs

How old are you? Just curious?

agreed those techs were freaking stupid, and yes i think d wade is dirty. and with all that the pacers still got more free throws and the heat had more fouls called on them in game 2. so yeah if you want you can isolate incidents in the game where you think they were biased towards the heat, but in the end it didn't change that the pacers shot more free throws than the heat, correct?

and im 23, btw.

Mybad i meant to quote the lebron thing you mentioned up there forget it tho

Besides those techs i have no problem with the refa this series

 

[hypebeast5]

So miami fans gon jus ignore the elbow? Srs even fanhood aside, u guys really think lbj n wade get the treatment? Wade gets away wit so many dirty plays its scary.

What elbow?

D Wade elbowed Lance Stephenson

D Wade recent dirty history

-Kicking ramon sessions in the midsection
-Dislocating rondos elbow
-shoulder charge on darren collison
-dropped rip hamilton with a forearm
- broke kobes nose in a allstar game

Did some cat really just say you don't put your "alleged" best defender on the other teams best player because you're worried about foul trouble? 

George Karl?

ima tell you like project pat told me, "dont save her, she dont wanna be saved".

if someones response to hard facts is, 'ur obviously a diehard stan' then that person obviously is gonna be biased no matter what happens...aint no arguing the pacers got more free throws, numbers dont lie...but the refs work for the heat?!?!?!? f o h. 

common sense aint so common do work....emotions >> real life/facts when making points evidently..

 

[do work son]

lol VA you know me. i always try to actual use numbers/stats/PROOF but somehow i'm a biased stan

 

[the natural mystic]

PG is becoming one of my favorite players. I hope he can work out with Kobe and Hakeem to step his footwork game up. Dude is an animal on both sides of the ball.

My apartment building erupted when he dunked on birdman.

 

[do work son]

sidenote: why is it mandatory to workout with hakeem? just go play with luis scola, he has moves for days too, and he probably won't charge you like hakeem will

Is Louis Scola a MFN champ?

Why would u go seek out SCOLA over THE DREAM for ANYTHING???

 

[mez 0ne]

It was only a 6 free throw difference and Miami still got a lot of phantom calls, but that's how it is and the Pacers just have to play through it. The free throw discrepancy should've been larger imo.

I've had no issues with the refs this series though, but you can't miss the blatant calls. :x

It's funny do work asked this, cause earlier I was thinking about that game when Scola put Griffin in a blender and left him laying face down on the court. It wouldn't be a bad thing actually. The only reason it may sound silly is cause you're comparing Hakeem to Scola. Scola is fantastic in the paint though if nothing else, is still currently active, and still has much better post moves than a lot of guys in the NBA. It's not like somebody is asking Eric Dampier to teach them something

This is so true also 20 of 32 free throws came from hibbert and west, those are free throws that should come all series cause they cant be guarded by Miami

 

[k3stacks]

Man this dude is trying to tell me Paul George is avg offensively & a good defender thats it...

He says

"He's not particularly good at anything

Volume shooter, avg finisher, he's a pretty good passer

Shooting 42 isn't good"

I say if you can create your own shot, finish at the rim, have a decent jumpshot you are good offensively.

What do you guys feel about this?

Shooting 42 isnt good but hes above average offensively and improving fast, one of his biggest knocks was his perimeter shot and handle

Both have improved drastically and that bad percentage will improve, honestly he is good offensively

 

[clyde the glide]

for his size skillset and potential he is still avg offensively

Not hatin on your comments at all my dude..

But me, being as competitive as I know I am, if i want to maximize my game to that elite level to the fullest in the NBA

Aint no way in H3LL Im calling SCOLA for ANYTHING over THE DREAM

Yea but you know NT and the extremes

This is gonna turn into a Scola vs The Dream Argument

It shouldnt turn into that

It'd definitely be a pointless argument

 

[finallyfamous]

PG has stepped up when his team has needed him. Star in the making

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Do any of yall see some poor man, Scottie Pippen in Paul George? 

 

[tommyicerocking]

Paul George is just a average shooter, but a great offensive player

 

[drewsone]

PG is not average. In a few years dont be surprised if be attains superstar status.

Just needs to become a little more consistent and efficient. He is already very poised and fearless.

 

[do work son]

I'm not saying go to scola over dream, but scola does a lot on the block that dream did. I'm convinced people just haven't watched him play enough to know how many post moves scola uses

 

[smangalang]

Do any of yall see some poor man, Scottie Pippen in Paul George? 

Billionaire's Rudy Gay

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Aside from Duncan, KG, maybe Z-Bo, I would take Scola's post moves over any other big's

Fact that he can score with little to no athleticism tells you everything you need to know how shifty and effective he is in the paint

Superstar? NAHHHHH

hes gonna be good as hell though.
