I declare shenanigans

I will say directly off the bat that I did not see very much of the Bulls-Heat game on Saturday, mainly because I was busy indulging in massive amounts of microbrewery/international beers. However, I call shenanigans on every person who is bitching about the refs in the game.

First off, Shaq should quit being such a whiny bitch. Contact is contact, and just because he usually (and probably will) gets those calls at home doesn't mean that he's going to get them on the road. I would like to point everyone to the series last year between the Bulls and the Heat. The Bulls couldn't win in Miami because they got fucked over by the referees, and then, surprise, the Bulls could win when they were getting the calls at home. I'm not saying it's right or it's fair, but that's the way it is.

Second, fuck you Heat. It's bullshit to claim an entire loss is due to referees. They can make it harder to overcome in the long-run, and provide some extra tense moments in games, but to say you lost a game ENTIRELY due to the referees is complete bullshit. Why can't you blame it on Luol Deng making a bitch out of everyone? Because that's what he did.

Third, who's to say that the reputation of the Heat don't precede them, especially when they play the Bulls. James Posey doesn't exactly make the cleanest fouls when he plays the Bulls. This can be evidenced by any of the times that he was ejected after a hard foul in previous matchups. Fuck James Posey. It's not our fault that he plays dirty. (Very objective statement, feel free to ignore. But what you cannot ignore is two ejections.)

The Heat got outplayed. Sure Shaq was in foul trouble, but wait until the games are played in Miami and the roles are completely reversed, with Ben Wallace in foul trouble and Shaq only having two fouls. You know it's going to happen to. Then what will it be a product of? Enough bitching by the Heat to get their way? The referees "realizing" that the Bulls are "fouling" numerous players on the Heat? Or the fac that the Heat have the home-court?

It's obviously the last one. Regardless, the Bulls will win, the Heat will complain, and no one will matchup with Luol Deng.
