Not really. If there was a foul it was well before the shot when George was coming off the screen. When he went up for the shot the contact was minimal and not even close to changing the shot or being a foul. And I think his foot was on the line anyway, but either way that's not a call that should be made.

The officiating was pretty rough in both directions. The 4th foul on Hibbert (when Cole fell down) was brutal, but there were some bad ones on Miami, too. I swear Joey Crawford is the only ref the NBA has for marquee games.

Yes, but Indiana is going to have a very difficult time beating this Heat team in a seven game series.

Last night's game was another confirmation that these two teams need to play in the ECF again. It could be epic.

doesn't matter if the shot wasn't altered because of contact. you can't be doing this:

Hey I'm a Heat fan so I'm not claiming that I'm not biased, but I really and truly don't think that was a foul. That still photograph doesn't tell anything. Only the video could show whether that was a foul or not. That hand did no more than graze his jersey. It didn't redirect him, didn't push him, nothing. If they call that then we would literally have a foul called on every single possession of every game.

It was a good game and the refs made some tough calls against both teams. Maybe that was one against the Pacers. I don't think it was, but hey.

Didn't Jordan once push a guy down (no call) to win a playoff game against the jazz?

That "push" is so over rated. His hand slide across Russell. What do people think Russell knew exactly when Jordan was going to stop and the fact he went on another step was because he was pushed? Ya right.
