That series was the worst officiated NBA Finals in league history. Games 3, 5, and 6 were the three most crucial games of that series, as well as three games that Miami either won with fourth quarter comebacks or in overtime, Wade shot a total of 64 FT's. Dallas, as a team, in those 3 games, shot a total of 74. In game 5, Wade shot as many FT's as the entire Mavs team.

Crazy finish in the Uconn-L'Ville game, came down to the closing seconds, but Uconn wins.

CP3 just dominated that fourth quarter, amazing game by him.

Terrible performance late in the third, we had a chance to really win this game, but we just fell apart. Wall had a great game, but it wasn't enough.

Amazing shot.

Going to lose an hour of sleep... -_-

HAPPY BDAY OLLIE YOU OLD PERV!

Of course I'd want to keep my money, but I'd also realize the situation the league is in. And I've countered every argument you've made. “But if our players are unhappy with it, we have to analyze to the nth degree the cause of their unhappiness. Everything is on the table. I’m not pleased, but I’m realistic. We’ve got to do the right thing here. And, of course, the right thing is to listen to our players. Whether it’s a day late or not, we’re dealing with this. I won’t make a spirited defense with respect to the ball, Stern told the Times. With respect to the ball, I take responsibility for that.” He was profiting off of the old ball as well. It doesn't matter...he apologized, took full responsibility for how everything went down, he attempted to fulfill the players' complaints, so tell me, how is he self centered? No he doesn't, it's obvious now that you don't watch enough basketball. And I've yet to understand how this doesn't better the league from a professionalism standpoint. The refs for the most part let many arguments slide, and you rarely see them T up a player after an initial reaction. It's only till they start to go overboard that they get T'd up. All of what you're saying are legitimate solutions to these problems that will be discussed before the CBA expires.

Kobe has a great work ethic, no doubt, but let's not act like he's the only one that works hard on his game. LeBron didn't get to where he is now by dancing on the sidelines.... The man has put a ton of work into his game since his rookie year.

You obviously still don't get it. If you are apart of the NBA, you understand the fact that there are rules in the league, and you're expected to follow it. It's as simple as that. There's nothing I particularly hate, everything he has implemented is justified. I don't hate on him like you do for no apparent reason. Is he the one playing basketball? No, so why would he be looking out for himself? It's obvious he thought the ball was a positive change, and that it had more grip than the previous one. And once again you're proving to everyone that you're pulling things out of your ass. What you didn't know is that he did test out the ball in the Dleague and it was used during all star weekend. And he even made a few NBA legends to test out the ball to see if they thought it would be appropriate. You were once a Heat fan, you of all people should know the refs still allow players the opportunity to argue calls and show emotion. LeBron does it almost every time he doesn't get a foul call with his drive to the basket. He's doing it because the league is losing money. Is that his fault? Isn't it his job to resolve these issues? Do you have a better idea?

16th tech for Amare.

He's taking money from these players in order to penalize them, it's not like he's taking it and going on a shopping spree at the mall.. The age limit was a great idea, the dress code makes the league more professional and respectable, and arguing fouls is useless, because it gets you no where. If you're going to attempt to criticize every move he has made, then at least know what you're talking about. He admitted his mistake regarding the game ball, and apologized, so don't act as if he was selfish and was only looking out for himself. How many times have you seen players argue a call, and in turn, the refs agree and overturn the initial call? Very rarely. The fact that Stern is attempting to make the league more respectable is a great thing for the NBA moving forward. And way to single out Stern and point out that he's the only one in favor of rollbacks. You really are pulling things out of your ass. Stern is arrogant and self centered? He's the one who cleared up the drug issues that were prevalent in the league before he became commissioner, the league's revenue has skyrocketed, and he had a hand in creating the WNBA. Yeah, he's definitely self centered...

Chalmers is shooting with a lot of confidence now, already 3 three's for him this quarter.

So many empty seats.

It's limited, kids aren't allowed to just say whatever they please in classrooms, that's what I'm getting at. I seriously don't understand all the hate surrounding him. He has done a lot for this league, and really has made basketball very popular around the world. He has globalized the game, and instituted new rules that have, for the most part, made the game more exciting/better. He is not a bad commissioner at all, and he has done great things for basketball in the last 22+ years.

The Exorcist.

I think Miami takes this, they gotta bounce back soon..

Fab Melo has a great game, St. John's just fell apart at the end.

St Johns and Syracuse playing right now, so far an exciting game, and it looks like it could go down to the final seconds.

These players, coaches, executives are apart of the league and must abide by the rules. The same thing applies to schools. Stop acting as if our freedom allows us to do whatever we please. I don't see why not.
