NBA fever..........Catch it!

...wow the game is fixed for sureRegarding that backcourt non-violation, you are allowed to throw it into the backcourt, but the replay I saw looked like he jumped from the forecourt and caught the pass before he landed in the backcourt. That means he effectively caught it in the front court, then went into the backcourt. I only saw the replay once, so maybe I missed something, but it sounded like Legler thought it was a violation. Whatever. Ref's miss things all the time.
As for the alleged push-offs, Dallas was doing a lot of grabbing that was not being called. these are the finals and that kind of stuff doesn't get called. That's why finesse teams have trouble in the playoffs. Wade was clearly fouled at the rim and you can't let that slide, any more than they let it slide when Nowitzki went to the rim against the Spurs at the end of the game.
The NBA clearly has a credibility problem with the officiating. When you combine "home court advantage" calls and "star treatment", you do resemble the WWE more than a professional league.

I saw that Cuban got fined $250k. Personally, I am getting tired of his act. He is beginning to remind me of that VW commercial where the guy is shouting with a megaphone "Because I make more money than you do." Grow up and show a little class.
Congrats to the Heat, the better team won.
Kobe, aren't you glad you drove Shaq away?
Don't you just love it that Wade is now the darling of the NBA, the finals MVP...and you are not?

shaq is still fat.
that wade guy is a lebron-wannabe.
mcdyess is better then 3 of your starting 5.
this will be a repeat of last year. like usual, miami doesn't have the tools to deal with us big-boys from detroit.
One can tell that you are as bad at gambling as you are in trading calls. You are a great, great fade.

The Heat boys did it! They were the better team and persevered through adversities. Congrats Cubano, your prediction was right all along, and faith in your team admirable. So what's the market gonna do tomorrow? 
Miami doesn't need more celebrations and parties, but this one will be different.

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
I don't know if I underestimated the Heat or overestimated the Mavs, but coming back from 0-2 and to win 4 in a row is simply amazing.
Congratulations to the Heat!
p.s. Avery Johnson is a class act, as his postgame interviews revealed, and I thought it was classy for Cuban to applaud the Heat afterwards (or was he applauding his departing employees as they walked off the court?).
