"The league does not have a problem with hard fouls on our two main guys," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday before taking on the Pacers in Game 6.

"In nine games now there's been over a dozen hard fouls to the face, some of the tomahawk variety, some have drawn blood. They don't have a problem with it, so we don't have a problem with it. We'll focus on what we can control."


quote:

"I mean, Hansbrough, it's not the first time he's gone after one of our players this year," James said. "We have two guys suspended and basically they have no one suspended."


quote:

Spoelstra said the Heat will accept the decision on Haslem, but don't agree with it.

Whining? Or telling the truth?

Didn't Wade get away with a hard foul? My advice to the Heat is shut the hell up because absolutely no one wants to hear the 'superstar' team complain about shite.

Exactly, so now they sound like whining hypocrites. It is the playoffs everyone gets fouled hard at some point. Just keep your mouth shut and play the game and win. That is how you deal with hard fouls.

Neither team should complain about the calls IMO

lol

If the Heat honestly thought Hansbrough's foul was as bad or worse than Haslem's, they are all delusional.

Wade could have easily been suspended one game as well for his hit on Collison.

The Pacers have been trying to instigate conflict with confrontation all series. And yes, it's pretty stupid.

But the Heat have been straight up dirty in more than one instance.

They're just working the refs like Indy did coming into the series. Not sure why everyone is freaking out.

I don't think anything either team has to say is going to impact the officials in Game 6.

They're not stupid. They know what's been going on in this series.

Because they are a team that already gets all of the calls, so why do they have to 'work' the refs? They already have them in their back pocket.

Spoelstra isn't whining, and he's not telling the truth. He's working the officials, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the product of the advice of Pat Riley. This is smart. From here on out, the Pacers will get away with absolutely nothing.

Exactly, and that's going to end up benefiting the team in black two superstars. Every time Wade or James penetrate, a foul will be called. Heat win.
