The fact that Heat fans have commented on how poor the officiating is (in their favor) would suggest this is more than sour grapes. The theme for the Heat in both the Boston and OKC series has been "yeah they're getting all the calls but that's not the reason they're winning." The whole thing just leaves me with a bad taste - sort of like the LA/Sacramento series in '02 that led to me boycotting the NBA for a few years.Eh, it's easy to just pin blame on refs. Any person thats ever pulled for a sports team (myself included) has done it, and it will never go away. Miami is playing better than OKC. Miami's small ball and defense is killing the Thunder.

Yup! In fact, I got so sick of the flopping from Dwade and bronbron that I just stopped watching. I have friends on the facebook who coach basketball and don't have any vested interest in either team and even they say it's atrocious.
I can't stand watching Wade. He's awful with all of his whining and complaining about calls. It kills me when he doesn't run back on defense after not getting a call he wants. And OKC doesn't do it? Harden just puts his head down and drives to the basket and throws his hands up expecting a foul call. Durant is the reason why it's no longer shooting foul when a player sweeps the ball up and through a defenders hands while he's acting like he's trying to shoot.
I'm not sure if this link is going to work, but google 'James Harden flops' and go to youtube to see the true definition of flopping and acting.

Wade makes and pulls off some amazing shots, there is no doubt about it. And he is one of the best players in the NBA. I remember last year in the Finals, Dallas scoring on a fast break multiple times because Wade was on the other end of the court arguing with the referee. I actually think he is worse than the other stars--or it's at least more noticeable to me.
Great move for the Hornets. Terrible move for the Wizards, again.
Yeah.. Dont know where to start with the Wizards.
At least this trade helps free up a lot of the salary cap and an additional young player in the draft.

It's a great trade for the Hornets. They offload Okafor and Ariza's ridiculous contracts. They get Lewis', which is probably the worst contract ever second to Arenas, but they'll wave him and next year he's outta there. IF they want to amnesty somebody they can and potentially offer DWill a max contract. Doubtful he takes it, but still. They will have lots of money the next 2 years to go after big names, and build around Gordon/Davis/whoever they take with the other top 15 pick this year. Good move.
James speaks well, doesn't get into trouble with the law, no baby momma drama, does charity work, and is a great player. Sure he made a mistake in "The Decision" but is that really enough for all the venom towards Miami?
By the way, your logic is quite funny considering your hatred towards another guy that does the same thing and does not have the "Decision".
I don't care if it was a pep rally - it came on the heels of The Decision, which was the most self-serving and arrogant public relations disaster I've ever seen. So at a time when he should have been doing damage control, he gets in front of the world and spouts off "Not two....not three...not four..." presumably so we could all be impressed that he can count past five (as long as you spot him the one), then goes onto say that they'll work so hard in practice that beating every other team in the league will be "easy."
Ignoring the fact that these are premeditated and deliberate acts of self-indulgence, let's not pretend that these BIG mistakes aren't complemented by constant instances of him acting like a baby on the court, taking off his jersey, calling Ibaka 'stupid', etc... In a league full of uneducated bad guys, LeBron isn't the dumbest or worst - he is, IMO, the most self-centered and immature.
high talent + low character = hateworthy
You are completely discounting the hundreds of good/decent things he's done because of 2 questionable decisions.
Lol, did anyone see the "Jon Barry Sucks" sign?
To quote the great Chris Rock..."You dont deserve credit for doing what you are supposed to do".
