Not comparable however. The subjective opinion of the officials is part of every sport. If the case here had been that Shaq had actually committed six fouls, but the team felt that the officials made a mistake on the sixth, they would not have granted the appeal.

No, bets are graded the night of the event and all basketball games are official after 44 minutes of play in Las Vegas, offshore, and sports select.

What a long article. It had all the essential information in the first few paragraphs.

Then they had commentary from players and coaches.

Then it went back and redressed everything in greater detail with more commentary from both sides.

First one side would give their opinion. Then they reiterated what happened.

Then they had opinions from the other side. Did you forget what we said at the start of the article? Oh, here it is again, but here's some more detail, Oh here's some commentary.

Did you know we have commentary from both sides? First from one side, then the other.

Wait what's the commentary for? Well let me tell you... Yeesh.

for the Heat:

All their guys got crappy at the same time and Wade has been hurt all year. They also made some questionable trades. Not so much that they gave up great talent but the guys they brought in aren't exactly the best team guys or the kind of guys you necessarily want on the team when things aren't going well.

Also, Shaq, physically has basically totally broken down. He has played a ton of games with all the play-off success he has had and also taken a huge beating with many guys only defense for him being to hack him. I think his vertical leap is about three inches and he can lift his arms over his head for about .000001 seconds.

For the Hawks:

Al those picks have finally started to pay off. Even though they have made some bad choices and should have Chris Paul right now guys like Josh Smith, Horford, Sheldon Williams are starting to give them results. Joe Johnson also is playing well. They still have a problem of their best 6 players all playing the same three spots but in the new ,and especially the East, it seems easier to get by with a 4 playing center or three 3's on the court at the same time. Playing in the East doesn't hurt

Just a quick correction as the Hawks are my team. Sheldon isn't very good but Marvin Williams is...

Okay. I thought Sheldon was pretty good for them last year and Marvin was not so that it was the same again this year. Surprised that Marvin Williams is finally playing well, must be nice for Hawks fans considering his first year in the league and the whole Paul issue.
