Refs are human they will make mistakes that go both ways. I play at a pretty high level down here and we have some shocking refs.
They don't cheat , there just not very good lol although there is nothing worse when refs get personal and hold a grudge.
The pacers , heat and bulls are gonna have some great battles in the future. The key for the pacers will be getting granger healthy and keeping west. They also need a legit PG to have a 3 way rotation with hill and George.
I think they try and trade Granger. He'll have good trade value and they can get a legit #1 and push Hill to #2 and play George at #3. This will also alleviate some of their cap headaches in the future.
The heat need to find a legit big man, bosh is a 4 not a centre, it also looks like wade is slowing down, still great but not as good as he was. Hope he proves me wrong one of my favorite players.
Dalembert is a good call. I wonder if they could trade for Demarcus Cousins? Maybe Bosh for Cousins? I realize that would totally break up the big 3, but the Bulls and the Pacers aren't going anywhere and the Heat only survived because LeBron carried them. They need a banger down low, and I think Cousins could flourish in their system. He also could benefit from having a real leader in the locker room.
I've heard rumor of the Kings potentially trading Cousins for the first pick (i.e. Noel). This obviously is only speculation, but if the Heat want Lebron long term, they're going to have to bring in someone to fill Wade and Bosh's place. And Bosh still has good trade value.
