I seriously hope (we) the bulls beat the heat this season. I cant stand lebron james. I understand getting calls from the refs because you are a superstar, but abusing it to no end is just sad. Case in point, last year during the conference finals rose went to steal the ball while lebron was sitting down trying to get control of it, and rose's hand was at least 3-4 inches from his face, and lebron fakes like he got poked in the eye and the refs called the foul, right after lebron winking at his coach. I understand some acting to a charge, but faking getting hit? thats not playing the game, thats abusing it.
(more ranting coming), if it wasnt for rose, i wouldnt be watching basketball at all. I started paying attention last season after pretty much stopping viewing it after jordan retired, and i was apalled at how soft this league has become. Its a league where players are rewarded for faking anything to get a foul, because the refs are the most foul-happy calling sons of *****es ive ever seen witht he most ticky tack calls on earth. 1990s basketball was where men were on the court and were allowed to play like men. Knicks-Bulls basketbal rivalry, watch the 92 or 93 playoff series between them on youtube and ull see some of the most suffocating defense where every player woulda been fouled out by halftime if that occured today. The no handchecking rule they implemented is garbage.
