A taste of their own medicine. Miami plays terrific, but very aggressive defense and never have players in foul trouble. I hardly think Miami has the right to complain about questionable calls. This is one of less than a handful of playoff games where Miami was maybe given the short end of the stick.

Ha.

Refs tried to help Memphis last night too to get another game or two, but the Spurs ruined that plan. Pop is always ruining things for Stern.

There are more Pacers fans sticking around 10 minutes after the game then there are Heat fans watching the last 2 minutes of a close game.

Yeah I don't feel sorry for them. I saw Pierce foul out twice in last year's EC Finals in close games.

James and Wade get more gift calls than anyone I've ever seen. Its a shock when a call goes the other way.

That said this game was horribly called for both sides.

I think his game is remembered aptly, though. He wasn't even the best offensive center of his era. Hakeem Olajuwan was one of the most incredible talents at the center position the league's ever seen.

(H)akeem was incredible, but so was the Admiral. Robinson had in credible range on his jumper. Of course, Shaq was pretty darn good as well.

Sure and that's what you expect on the road in the playoffs. But when LeBron James fouls out on a call like that, it's pretty bad. A joke really.

And I do suspect Miami will get their calls when they go back home in two days. At least they better...if Indiana is allowed to make the game that physical again on Thursday in Miami, the Heat will be in tough to win this series.

I still don't see how the refs missed the ball hitting the rim. Literally impossible to miss.

I love the blonde bitch who collapsed to her knees after the Stephenson shot. She gets it. Chocolate peni

That and the out of bounds call at the end. WTF.

meh..this game wasn't anymore physical than Games 1 & 2

[dirk digler]

ok after watching that slo-mo of Lebron on his last foul that was a good call. he clearly tried to trip the defender

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Maybe a home call but the LeBron call wasn't that bad either.

That will be the narrative though, "Heat pushed around unfairly by the Pacers". I mean there HAS to be a reason to lose to a vastly inferior team right!?

I'd say tonight was slightly more because of what the Pacers were allowed to get away with, but those games (1 and 2) were called much differently (and far less in the Pacers favor).
