    How good would Miami without the double standard??

    I was just wondering what opinions there are about Miami? Without having the officials allowing Wade and Lebron to get away with murder, would they really have the best record in the East or even win the title last year? They really don't impress me and without the extra help from the officials, I don't think they would be all that successful. Thoughts?

    How would MJ's Bulls have done? Or Kobe and Shaq's Lakers? Superstars get calls, always have, always will.

    If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

    Yes. They would fail to make the finals without help form the officials. And Jordan and Kobe would each have less titles without help from the officials. I think we all know that.
    I came here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$. And I'm all out of bubble gum.
    Everything is a self-portrait.

    That doesn't make it right. Even making it exclusive to my team, I'm DAMN sick of seeing Sullinger get called for ticky tack fouls while guys like Pierce and Garnett get away with travels and illegal screens all game.

    Watch another sport. not to be harsh, but that is the way the NBA is dude. And it won't change. Besides, people act like LeBron doesn't get fouled, and just gets phantom whistles left and right. Please.

    Like Hawk said people act like they're a bunch of phantom calls. Take the celtics game tonight it was extremely physical so your arguments hold no ground superstars usually play a physical game. Granted some calls can be BS but hey refs are only human

    We can play that game too.

    Players attempting more free throws per game than either LeBron or Wade (in order):

    James Harden
    Dwight Howard
    Kevin Durant
    Kevin Love
    Carmelo Anthony
    Kobe Bryant
    Russell Westbrook

    So, how good would the Thunder or Lakers be without the double standard?
