Stop trades, fine/suspend certain players while letting others have a free pass to say and do as they please, quietly stifle any criticism of the league (even if it is legitimate), influence refs, fix games.....

That's right, the refs only make mistakes in favor of the Heat.

That's right, the league NEEDS the Heat to win, no one else can be or needs to b e helped to win.

If it were not for the refs, they would never win

Yep, that's it folks, you've got it all figured out.

No they don't always, only when it really counts.

Funny that Joey Crawford was involved in that vid...

Crawford sure learned his lesson (about doing what the NBA says) when he got suspended for trash-talking the league's prize (at the time) Tim Duncan...

Of course. Similar to how fans of Kobe and others are!

On a side note, wtf is Denver thinking letting George Karl go? First, they let their GM walk away and now their coach?

I think he already reached the ceiling with the team, they need a different face, new strategy. That's not a bad team and they for sure have overachieved with him. But it seemed they were not going anywhere else with him.

George Karl fired? Wow, I wouldn't mind seeing him come to Philly.

+1 Karl did good things with that crew...they can't seriously expect a finals appearance with that group of players can they?
