Bulls Get Hosed by Refs During Game 3 (With Video)

Old news. Doesn't stop what happened last night.

I agree with what you showed and I was screaming at the TV about it. But according to this forum and certain posters, pointing this out is whining.

yeah i agree with you there's nothing we can change, but just the fact that they are getting away with calls like this is ridiculous. turnovers lost us this game but the refs kept them in it.

It is whining when the team loses by 10 or more. If the Bulls lost by 5 or less, maybe you could blame the officials, but Miami has played better the last 3 games unfortunately. The Bulls have to overcome that.

They do have to overcome it and last night was a great game with nothing controversial and they had a chance to win it and blew it.

No excuses for that one.

You're blaming the refs?

I wouldn't even blame the refs on that call where Brewer (?) wasn't close to being set (every centrist analyst agrees) and James got called for an offensive foul the last few seconds of the game before OT.

Calls go both ways. Some players know how to draw fouls better than others.

I get that it's easy and convenient to blame refs after hard losses, but if Thibs sat around and said they didn't need to change anything with their play because it's good enough to win and that they just need a few calls to go their way he'd be a horrible coach. Thankfully, he's smarter than that.

Lebron didnt get called for a charge he got called for a push off with his arm.. Miami has 3 superstars so they will get 3 times the superstar calls. We could have won it at the end and didn't we lost it and now its over with the end

None of it matters at this point. Miami proved their mettle in the end and are one win away from going to the Finals.

I say congrats and move on.

Refs didn't **** us last night...we fucked us.

But it is fair to say they provided the lube, what happened after that was on us

Thibs didn't exactly help us. This one was NOT on the refs. Did you see the charge call on LeBron late in the game? Easily a block on Luol.

Eh...that was a pretty damn good call. A bit of a flop by Deng but James dipped his shoulder. When the refs see that typically it's going to go on the offense.

you don't think things go the other way for chicago..especially at UC?

The charge was the right call. lebron extended his arm into Deng. That's an offensive foul by the letter.

The Bulls are going to get calls in Chicago, the Heat are going to get calls in Miami. It's that simple. We fucked our selves over in our 3 losses.


I can't understand a Bulls fan blaming the refs. We had multiple years where Jordan got a lot of ticky tac calls.
