I was thinking the same thing, I don't think i've ever seen such horrible referring. I think the NBA wants Miami to win, a lot of Miami merchandise would be soldthe refs are HORRIBLE. Every foul is on the Celtics and LaFraud is aloud to just bowl people over with no repercussions. WTF

Well, TNT must be counting down - they only had 864 cutaways to Riley last nite.
I agree with the brutality of the officiating last night. It truly is a joke what Lebron gets away with. He's playing under different rules than anyone else. This guy lacks a single basketball move that does not incorporate a violation in it, and that's probably why I have - and did so long before it was in fashion - ZERO respect for his game.
That said, the C's overcame. They are really clicking right now. I don't expect all of the big 4 to continue playing at such a high level throughout the season, but it has to make you feel good to see KG and Pierce play far better than they did last season.
And Rondo. Well, obviously, I think this guy is the man. In past years, some people might have thought I was a homer when I'd say there is literally not another PG I'd rather have on this team, but now I mean it more than ever. CP3, Deron, I don't care who you throw out there - nobody in the league is able to create shots for his team the way Rondo is, and its not even close right now. And what he does on defense is dynamic. Legitimate MVP candidate right now.

Can Riley make them tougher or get them to play defense. :nono:
Seriously ... can MeBron learn to play without the ball?
Reminds me in some ways of Pierce and Walker ... neither one could play without the ball back then. the Celtics were good but not great because the point forward idea does not work, it makes the floor stagnant of movement.
Can mebron play off of Wade for an entire season?
Can Bosh learn to bang?
The Heat can go all the way if:
Wade is the PG ... oh he thinks he's a shooting guard.
LeBron is a PF ... a real PF ... like Karl Malone was ... leBron is a sissy ... prefers SF.
Bosh becomes the SF ... he sucks as a PF and he has no clue how to play with 2 ball hogs.
that's it for now ... 3 very good players and all three playing out of position.
As for Rondo, if he had a consistent jumpshot, he would EASILY be the best PG in the league.
The thing is LeBron only looks like a ballhog when he plays the C's, for some reason. He leads the team in assists by quite a comfortable margin. When Wade stalled and had a poor shooting night Thursday, it was apparent that LeBron needed to take over.
And yeah, I think Riley taking over would be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to mental and physical toughness.
