This is a good article. Each game in Miami has been dramatically changed by the officiating.

Weird. It was posted as general NBA News, I looked over his blog and didn't see it as a Chicago blog. Looked to be a normal NBA blog to me. Ooops.

Stern wants the star power in the Finals for the ratings...Derrick Rose isn't enough.

The refs have been thoroughly instructed...

What are you talking about?

The refs have been COMPLETELY fair in this series. They haven't made any calls that would make it seem like they are favoring Miami. You fans need to stop whining and blaming the refs. Bad calls happen and the Bulls have to overcome that.

Just posting that before some of our "objective" posters have the opportunity to.

You can say the officiating has been bad, which I acknowledge, but Miami didn't win 3 games by accident. Blaming the refs gets old after 3 games.

Man, you are so right. They had nothing to do with the Bulls losing games.

Game 4 was on the Bulls, but the two before that I can't say it was all the Bulls' fault. But since you said it, then I guess it's true.

About time you recognized my policy...the Eagle Scout is always right.

Well clearly this fool has no idea what he's talking about. Surely he was deliberately picking clips where the Bulls got screwed.

Because there were so many plays where Miami got screwed that he missed.

The video does come off as sour grapes and some of the things he showed are arguable at best.

Actually for the most part he is right. The only thing is I think that moving screen on Noah was actually a moving screen. But as he shows, Chris Bosh did the exact same thing, in fact, his feet never stopped moving, and no call. Tiny things like that could make the difference in the fourth.

I agree with you, but you know they aren't going to call that on Miami.

I call out so many moving screens that it's not even funny.

I would love the games to be called like Game 1. Let these teams battle it out and see who comes out on top.

Well they should at least be consistent then. Call it the same both ways.

From your mouth to God's ears. I wish it was that simple.

If it's a violation on one end, it should be the same on the other, superstar or not.

That's why I say they are getting screwed. I go back to Game 1, when they didn't go whistle happy, the Bulls blew them out the building. After that, they started calling a ton of fouls and other things and more often than not, they went against the Bulls.

For people to deny this is just completely bewildering to me. Like, are we watching the same game?

I know some of these wannabe ESPN, NBA TV analysts wanna deny it, but you can't help but see it when it's happening.

I know we have had to sit players for foul trouble, which is what has often killed momentum we had at the time. Have the Heat had to sit anyone for foul trouble in this series at all?

I think Wade was in foul trouble in Game 4.

They've had players in relative foul trouble, but no one that was vital to their offense.
