QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) I just don't know if I can enjoy a league where the refs decide games las often as nba refs do. NCAA refs do a worse job, but it is much more related to them being incompetent and so it can go both ways at random at times.

This has been a nice finish. Pretty much everything has gone wrong tonight and we still made it worth watching by the end. Having four quarters of Jimmy/Luol, any quarters of Joakim, and a Derrick Rose sighting could easily change the outcome here. s***, if we could trade for Mario Chalmers just to get him off their team we'd probably be much better off

There we go - a bad foul call against Wade

It is clear that the league does not intend the Bulls to win this game

I just want to juxtapose Jimmy's take to the rim with the reach-in called on Taj

8 point game! Give them a finish!

Is that Derrick Rose or CJ Watson?

Butler getting an and-one there would have made things super interesting. I guess it is still getting interesting

I'm happy to have Conger, though I'm not sure what price I'm willing to pay. Sign me up for Bourjos+Conger for Santiago though

The last couple seasons have reminded me more and more of the Laker era of not-so-long ago

WOW Hinrich got absolutely cheapshotted by two Heat players and gets a foul called on him Cole drives a shoulder into Hinrich, knocking him into LeBron setting a moving screen. Foul on Hinrich as LeBron begs that it be called a T

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Worst part of this is Deng no showing. Expected others could be rusty but expected more from him tonight. Oh well. He's had a weird night with all of the fouls. Definitely hasn't been able to buy a shot while he's been on the floor though

Welcome to Dunleavy

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:10 PM) Not saying hurt him, but Butler could've sent a nice message on that Norris lay in. I'd save everything for Andersen or LeBron if I have to send messages

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) They have Peralta's replacement for next year covered. Yeah, they're going to be really sick of him really quickly. That team may wind up not having a great offense in the near future

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) Another reason why Parra is a better fit, although he also does not post great OBP numbers either. I imagine he's a significantly more difficult get and isn't going to be the kind of CF that Bourjos is - which would be fine if we weren't chock full of corner OF. Doesn't hit real well either

lol Andersen's dunk was precipitated by him throwing Taj to the ground on the other end

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) What did the call him for right there? I'm trying not to blame the refs Christ. Looked like Lebron slipped. The "being near LeBron when something goes wrong for him" rule

Taj Gibson is dumb as hell

Derrick is starting to get frustrated with this horses*** officiating He doesn't like it, but it's clear these guys will do whatever you ask them to if you b**** about every call

Next time I apply for a job, I'm going to tell my superiors that my performance will be horrible compared to my peers, but that is all part of the plan. Please wait 3 years to re-evaluate. As I approach that three year mark, I'll let them know that my inferiors are really f***ing things up and I might need an extra 2-3 years. As they start to catch on, I'll spend all of my boss's money so that the results improve a little bit. It may or may not get me some short term success, but it will certainly lead to my firing. That's okay though, because I'll have made plenty of money by then.

the Chicago Butlers

What did they do with Mitchell in the AFL that they couldn't have tried the other 6 months of the year? I'm totally bewildered

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) cant win 8 on 5, especially when you miss dunks Of course, the Noah missed dunk is a foul if he's in a Miami jersey. We have enough problems that we don't need Mario f***ing Chalmers getting more gift calls than I can count on one hand.

There's no way the refs are actually this inept, right? I might feel better if I knew it was intentional
