It would have been better if I didn't hate Cleveland, but I guess It's always nice to see the Magic lose.

I was at the game last night, and believe me there is a palpable fear of Orlando getting ripped off by the refs. Everyone here expects it. Doesn't help when Howard gets touch foul after touch foul. They treat him like he's a stiff from Lithuania or something.

That last foul on him is Exhibit A.

Overall the refereeing in the Conference finals has been a disgrace and a joke. LET THE PLAYERS PLAY!

The refs have been bad all playoffs long, not just the conference finals.

Cleveland's misery as a sports town continues.

I'm surprised the Magic pulled this one off. Yet again the officiating sucks. James trips over his own feet with .5 seconds. Whistles blown everywhere. But then on the other side of the court, Varejao can upend Howard on a lob, no call. It is good to see the Refs make up for it in OT though when James jumped into Howard trying to get a call :loser1:

It's great to see Cleveland going down in flames.
