Fact the Miami Heat was overall number #1 in FTM +65 the opponent most close to this number was Memphis Grizzlies FTM +34.

Fact the Miami Heat was overall number #1 in FTA +102 the opponent most close to this number was Philadelphia Sixers FTA +53

Fact the Miami Heat had a total of 12 technical fouls in the playoffs, their opponents Knicks had 12 techs, boston 22 techs, OKC 18 techs. How could the most complaining team in the league have less techs compared to 2 of the best discipline teams?

Horrible officiating in every series verses the Miami Heat, starting with the Knicks (notable call- Game 1 Tyson Chandler Flagrant 2 call) (after Mike Bibby lost his shoe from grabbing an rebound Dwayne Wade toss his shoe on the sideline, no technical unsportsmanship), Pacer Series (Dwayne Wade out of frustration leveled Collinson to stop a fast break lap up, this was called Flagrant 1, but should of been called Flagrant 2 resulting in ejection. It look pretty excessive to the world);

Haslem flagrant foul against hansbrough. How was that not an flagrant 2 during game time and not an 3 game suspension? Haslem was obvious trying to hurt him. If that was World Peace multiple game suspension automatically, Boston series (The obvious missed foul on Rondo going for the layup that would put him to the line to tie or take the lead instead Miami comes down increase their lead to 3 points and go on a run to win the game) (Paul Peirce fouling out after Dwayne Wade goes up in mid air turning his back into Peirce to create the foul, At very least should of been a non call, note Wade gets away with this move alot) (Wade goes up for a lay up against Kevin Garnett, but kicks his leg out to avoid the block. Wade made the shot and got fouled 3 point play. No offensive foul on Wade?

Offensive foul on Kevin Garnett setting the screen at the top of the 3 point line "Are You Kidding me" Note Boston had 13 technical fouls in that series. The Referees seemed to favor Heat even more in the Finals too against the Thunder (Lebron James obviously fouled Kevin Durant and then fouled Westbrook trying to get the rebound) How can the Miami coach come out on the middle of the floor while the game is being played to distract Westbrook jump shot? No technical foul for his unsportmanship tatics? (Head coach Scott Brooks who rarely shows frustration when he really should and instructs his team during press conference to not bad mouth the officiating even though it was poor, gets an technical foul for arguing a call. That is then over tuned, so he was right and still gets a technical) Game 3 finals Haslem goes clearly over the back of Ibaka with aggression knocks him down on his back, no call just out of bounds on Heat).

And how about that Fisher foul running over Lebron? This has to stop!! You can make a strong argument that there were so many bad and missed called that favored the Heat and played an huge part on their advancement in each series, that they should of not had made it to the finals at all.

You can ask many and some would say elimination for the Heat should of came in the Pacers series and most definitely in the Boston series.

We demand that the "National Basketball Association" change the officiating rules, so the game is not ruined for the fans moving forward.

It's better to get the call right then the undeserving team walking away with the prize every team works so hard for. Us as fan look forward to playoffs and don't want to be robbed of awful officiating.

How could the league fine players and coaches for criticizing the referees when most of the time they are right? To avoid this for happening again.

The solution is for the NBA to adopt the "NFL Challenge Rule." Each coach gets 5 challenges to overturn a call and keeps the challenge if rule in their favor. Also, there should be instant replay for the last 3 minutes of each quarter so calls aren't missed.

IF rules aren't changed to prevent this from happening and to save the integrity of the game then us fans will boycott from watching on television and arena's the entire 2012-2013 season.
