I reiterate the players win the games, not the refs.
I'm not defending the refs, they make some f'd up calls sometimes, (or they don't make calls), but there's a reason why coaches have their players watch gameplay footage:
so they can figure out what they did wrong in that game, and how they can do better next time.
They're not saying, "Oh this ref didn't make that call, that's why we didn't win." What they ARE saying is, "Look, we got to defend LeBron better, (etc.) we got to do this and that, and then we'll be better off.
And I just presented an instance where the refs didn't call a HUGE violation against the Spurs, nullifying the ridiculous notion that LeBron and the heat always get favorable calls.
If you really want to keep talking about this, I can get more detailed...
