Is anybody else as pissed off about the Stackhouse suspension as me? Its ridiculous. I remember when a hit like that was simply 2 foul shots and the ball. Now they give a 1 game suspension for anything. If this gets a suspension, then Raja Bell deserved 5 games. But getting the same punishment here just shows how screwed up Stu Jackson is.
Yeah, I'm pretty mad and I'm rooting for the Heat. No way that shoulda been a suspension.

Stu Jackson should suspend himself for the rest of the playoffs. He's been the only blemish to an otherwise great playoffs.
That is total bullshit there, no way Stack deserves a suspension for that. Flagrant foul? Sure, but if he wasnt ejected why suspend him after the game? Cuban has obviously pissed Stern off one too many times and this is Sterns chance to get even.
Oh and Myth those Nash and Dirk photos are classic, although seeing a bare chested Nash strutting on the dancefloor was a tad disturbing. 😘
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w00t w00t w00t
Man, what a game. Wade tied it with 2.8, and I would have bet that Dirk or Terry hits the bizzer beater for the win, but thank god they didn't. Overtime was crazy. Dirk hit a great shot. Wade had the biggest free throws of his life. Howard, I don't know what the hell he was thinking. Might have cost the Mavs the game. Payton has hit some huge shots too. Posey has been great also. Those players need more credit.
GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w00t
Wow the trophy has been gift wrapped for the Heat now. Wade had as many free throws as the entire Dallas team and that last second "foul" in OT was bogus. Props to Wade though he made a a couple of very clutch shots after shooting badly early on.
Dallas on the other hand choked away plenty of opportunities, they could and should have taken this one even with the lopsided officiating.

Nah, that was a foul IMO. I didn't see the replay though.
I thought the officating was ok. Both bad calls pretty even, but I don't pay attention to those things so I'm not the person to ask.
Did Wade commit an offensive foul that last play that didn't get called? I saw his arm extend and one of the Mavs fell. The replay never showed it though so I'm not sure. They repeatedly showed about 2 seconds after that part of the play.
Anyway, I'm still hoping Dallas wins, but I'm rooting for them even less now. Dirk has been off and I would not want them to win the title unless Dirk gets MVP. At this rate, it could be Terry if Mavs come back. On the other end, I want to see Wade get a championship but I feel it is lessoned by having Shaq by his side. It would be one of those "Well he couldn't have done it without Shaq" sort of things. But with Shaq not being himself and Wade having multiple 40 pt games, I'm more for Heat winning. Again, I'm still rooting for Dallas mostly.
Avery Johnson is the man.
That interview on ESPN was great. 😆
The guy asked Avery a question about the foul on Wade.
Avery: Well, what was your impression.
Guy: Well, uh, that he got two shots.
Avery: No shit.(J/k he didn't say that.) I know that, but what was your impression?
Silence.
Avery: We're waiting.
Guy: Was it a foul?
Avery: I'm asking you.
Silence for a long period.
Guy: I'll just ask another question.
Avery: Don't stutter.
😆 You really have to see it though to be funny.

*long sigh* What can I say that hasn't already been said.
The bullshit suspension, the bullshit calls, the foul shot discrepancy, the referees bailing out Wade at the end. Whatever happened to referees not deciding games in the last minutes let alone the last seconds of the game. Funny thing is, I think the Mavs could of had a chance to win it if they just would've made their free throws down the stretch. But In the end it was just to much bullshit to overcome.
Like you said the Heat have had their trophy gift wrapped and presented to them by Stu Jackson, David Stern and the referees. Now all they have to do is accept it. There's still 1 game left to be played in Dallas and possibly 2 but I was so disgusted with the way this game was called tonight that at this pt I'm really not lookin forward to it. I hate it when this type of BS ruins what promised to be a very exciting and well played series. If the Heat had won without all this BS, we would've all tipped our hats and said, 'ok the Heat were the better team again today' but to lose like that, it's just...well I've used the word like 5 times already so you fill in the blank _______.
You know I honestly wouldn't put anything past the people who run our major sporting events these days. There's just so much money, corruption and power involved that you can't help but at least wonder if they try to ensure the extension of these series however they can in order to make more money from ticket sales and TV spots...etc. It's a perfect time to do it, there really isn't anything else goin on that they would be competing with right now, so why not rake in as much cash as they can. Can't really blame them for that, I mean in the end it is their business, it's all about dollars and cents and we're just fans, pawns I guess if you wanna think that cynically. I just think if it's true, it's a real dirty game and it would also be a shame.
It will be interesting to see how they call game 6 in Dallas. I bet Dallas will get the majority of the calls now. I'm sure they'll use the same tired excuse, oh it's the home court advantage thing, that's why they get the calls, hmm...how convenient.
Btw, does anyone know what kind of ratings ABC is getting with the finals?

I seen that foul from a couple of angles, that wasnt a foul, but Wade has been gettin calls on playoffs, and espicially at home, He is getting waaaay too much respect from the officials, he's getting more repect than Dirk which is ridiculous, i'm not saying Dirk should have more, but he should have atleast just as much.
Anyways, as bad as the officiating was that game, and it was bad, Dallas still should have won it regardless, Howard and Dampier both missed free throws that would have all but sealed that game...I still think Dallas is gonna pull this out. I'm really hoping so....I ****in hate the Miami players, How anyone can actually root for antwaine walker getting a ring is beyond me.
I missed the Avery interview, hopefully I'll catch it on sportscenter
Myth-the drunk pics are great, in the 3rd one Dirk looks like he is stroking that dudes hair, and I agree with Kool, Nash is VERY disturbing on that dancefloor

I still didn't see the replay, so I wouldn't know.
Also, RZA, while the reffing has been the Heats way, you can't blame them for the whole series. Maybe just this game, with Stackhouse out, and the foul on Wade. But is it the refs fault Howard called a time-out? Is it the refs fault that people missed free-throws when you needed it. Is it the refs fault that you got blown at game 4. Is it the refs fault Dirk missed 2 free throws to tie? IMO the Heat all the Heats victories has been fair except for this one So you can't blame the whole series on the refs, because the Mavs could have changed that if the executed down the stretch of game 3.
Plus, it's not over yet. IMO all Dallas has to do is win this next game and they won the championship because I don't see the Heat winning game 7 on the road.
GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel your pain RZA, the way the Mavs got merked last night was sorry. They did miss some clutch free throws down the stretch but the officiating was horribly inconsistent and seriously biased in the Heats favor.
As for Howards "timeout", it clearly showed on the replay that he was communicating with Avery and not signaling to the official. He said as much in the post game interview.
Cuban must be so pissed right now, he has to call out the officials now so this cant happen in game 6.
