Gibson Fined for Abusing Ref
 
Taj Gibson fined for abusing ref in Bulls-Heat Game 2

51 Fouls and 9 T's! What were they thinking? (sarc) :rolleyes:

So they should not have called 51 fouls or the 9 Ts?

Peace

Best quote of the year:

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra isn't concerned about the officiating.

"Who cares," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It has no impact on the game."

I wish people would get that through their think azz skull.

Peace

And? (Just seeing if there was more to your statement or just stating the fact)

And Joey was probably going to be on Game 3 tonight regardless how Game 2 was played. :D

Well considering other guys like Danny Crawford worked in San Antonio on Wednesday I would suspect Joey was due to work. ;)

What a fun series......(sarc)
 
Tom Thibodeau suggests Bulls not getting calls Heat get

I took the rare opportunity to watch some of the game Friday night. Mohammed, Noah, Gibson...the Birdman dude...are ALL reasons I don't bother with the NBA any more. These guys are barely anything more than thugs with talent. The physical confrontations, T's, intentionals, ejections, whining and everything else that has gone on makes it truly unwatchable. We joke around and call it the NBE...but that is pretty much what it has become...pro wrestling with a basketball. And I wouldn't downplay the media's role in the downward spiral of this series. You can hear the announcers voices litteraly crackle with excitement when the s**t starts up on the court.

As far as the rest of the season...my philosopy is now: WHO CARES? It's not even basketball any more.

Interestingly, though, this play from nearly 30 years ago didn't even result in an ejection. There was a heck of a lot of thug stuff back in the day that was just considered "part of the game."
