Seems as if the Bulls are a little cranky about the non-flagrant, and correct, call made last night. From Yahoo! Sports: (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AgeIrdIydrAXNoLvIUR1VFa8vLYF?slug=aw-millerbulls042809&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)The Bulls aren’t done. Not even close. They’ve sent film to the league office on the Celtics’ physicality, Miller said, but those never go anywhere. That’s all right. This is good for the Bulls, good for the game. Another night, another epic. Pity poor Brad Miller. He had two free throws, two rims and two seconds left on Tuesday night when little Rajon Rondo had a free shot and pounded him upside that woozy head.And Brad Miller has his own take, with a few quotes of his own:- “It was just another one of the many shots to the head that haven’t been called this whole series,” Miller grumbled.- “I don’t even know if they cleaned up all the blood around the basket,” Miller said.- Maybe it was a flagrant foul, Miller mused, but how could he tell. “I missed it,” he said. “I was getting a forearm shiver to the face.”- “There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball,” Miller said. “I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ ”Look, people can defend the officiating all they want to, and how dificult it is, and how often they are "correct". But it has been inconsistent (at best) throughout the series, on both sides of the court. And if Brad Miller wants to whine to the media about this non-call, that's his right. But why not then talk about how he gooned Ray Allen to draw Allen's 6th foul? Or the constant moving screens (I'm talking to you Miller and Noah) that have not been called. Or the non-call with Heinrich landing on Pierce's back after an upfake? Bottom-line, both teams have gotten away with a lot this series. Calls have been missed on both sides of the floor. And that's fine - if it's called the same both ways. But it seemingly has not been, one way or the other, in this series. Which is why I have a feeling that we'll all be complaining again on Friday morning. Because, ladies and gentlemen, this thing is going seven.
