Heat better not ruin any intrigue possible for the ECF.

lol ya... no one outside of Miami gives a shit about Cle/Miami in the ECF lol. Miami wants to get swept by Cleveland and watch Lebron crush them? ohhh so exciting!! Not to mention Whitesides hurt and Wade is begging for a foul every-single-fucking-play. Least with the Raps you get a young team that's actually good.

Both teams have an equal very slim shot at beating CLE IMO.

100% agree lol. its 4-1 at worst Cleveland

Dwayne Wade shooting while the Canadian Anthem was playing. Talk about disrespect.

After Cavs beat the Hawks, Lebron's record in each round of the playoffs will be.

1st round - 11-0
2nd round - 8-3
3rd round - 6-1
Finals - 2-4

Cavs will also be 12-0 in playoff games where Lebron, Kyrie, and KLove all actually played together.

No idea what I am looking at. I will admit it.

listen.

K good I didn't miss anything visually then

Handles

Raps and Heat are just injuring one another. There might not be a team to face Cleveland next round

Whiteside/Jonas. now Deng/Carroll out. DeRozan thumb is messed. Wade is old and complains. Cleveland must be loving this

lmao Basketball is the worst sport ever. Bullshit foul after bullshit foul

Golden State has to be one of the best crowd experiences as a fan

btw i hate refs for both sides. watched too many games where its just brutal calls. and if what reign says is true about how hard it is, why does every ref look like he's 60? replace them with younger guys cause some of these situations are unbearable... considering an ex NBA ref went to jail for rigging games too

I have no facts to back this up but I'd imagine people aren't exactly lining up to be referees. My cousin is a top referee in high school basketball here. He's done state finals the last four years and there's plenty of times he's had enough of coaches, parents, and administrators.

It's pretty ridiculous... I actually think from the standpoint of the crowd, doing high level college or NBA might be easier because it all just blends together. Doing the mid-level HS and Jr. High stuff is really annoying because it comes down to that 1 jackass parent that overshadows everyone else and causes a scene. It's an embarrassment for that team/community. I had a coach ask me to have 1 of his own fans removed. I'm not sure how they do it in Indiana, but for us, I just had to find the AD and the problem was always solved. I just hated going that route with idiots when the focus should be on the game/kids. Easily the worst part of reffing HS/Jr. High basketball.

Not sure if we ever had this posted. Not exactly a loophole, but a cool story nonetheless.
