[ClingingMars]

pretty much taking over this game

[urunobili]

this is SO frustrating... i just can't believe what they are doing.. and TW.. Hubie Brown... My god just go ahead and give CP3 a BJ in the lockeroom... they'll let u in dont worry... :pctoss

[Spurs Brazil]

Give one of those to Pop, so maybe he'll see how much Mason sucks at PG

[FromWayDowntown]

I came to Spurs Talk wondering how far down the front page I'd have to scan before finding a thread whining about officiating.

My answer: the first thread.

[urunobili]

spurs fans after a bad game tipical thread.

why don't you STFU already?

[ClingingMars]

another fucking embarrassing excuse of officiating.

3 FTs.

[anonoftheinternets]

why dont you stop crying like a litle girl already??
We suck tonite,it is what it is.
Stop looking for someone else to blame.

LOL you moron, the whole game they were calling fouls for hornets, and then when they actually foul PAUL in the backcourt, they dont call it :bang

[GatorKid117]

They rigged it so ESPN wouldn't have to pay the 1 million dollars. Bunch of haters....

[Josh810]

Yeah, cause Chris Paul really was planning on just pulling up with 7 seconds and shooting a 3. Ridiculous call.

[ClingingMars]

cost us the game. horrendous.

[ILoveOranges]

Wow.

[urunobili]

dude... you're a lifeless douche bag... fuck you and all your people since they seem unable to put you in the right place or teach you some normal decency conduct :flipoff:

[braeden0613]

The 3 call was correct...however a foul should have been called in the backcourt when manu clearly hacked him

[Spurs Brazil]

We sucks but the refs were pathetic in the last play. TP fouled Paul at the beggining of the play

[lefty]

Fuck them

But Spurs should have been more vocal; lame reaction

[dav4463]

LOL you moron, the whole game they were calling fouls for hornets, and then when they actually foul PAUL in the backcourt, they dont call it :bang


The referee had to know the Spurs would foul if they didn't get the steal. How can you pass on that foul on Paul in the backcourt? Any high school official would make that call. I am one, so I know. We are taught to get the foul quickly in that situation if we know a team has to foul if they don't get the steal. It's frustrating.

[DynastyBuilder]

we didn't deserve to win with the way we played, but that no call in the backcourt at the end was BS.

[thOOdee]

Ginobili didn't even foul him!!!!!! If tony didn't foul him then gino def didn't foul him. He didn't even touch him

[Thomas82]

the 3 call was correct...however a foul should have been called in the backcourt when manu clearly hacked him

+1

[Spurtacus]

Refs fucked us over good in the second half. Not just at the end of the game.

Hornets 33 FT
Spurs 21 FT

Spurs are the better defensive team.

[Donnie Hathaway]

If spurs wouldve knocked down three's like they did with 7 seconds left -the entire game, we could have beat them. Hornets still cant take us in 7 so lets not trip

[45 bank shot]

cant totally blame the ref tho.
if we couldve hit those open shots, we'd be up by like 10+ n dun need to worry bout em

[TDMVPDPOY]

they shouldve called the foul on TP on that last play, not the continuation down past the half court line where GINO fouled him when he didnt have any intention of shooting a 3, he was lucky the he was fouled in mid-air and threw the ball towards the ring....FKN BS.

[SpursFan0728]

I don't usually complain about refs but what they call at the end of the game was just bs.

[Thompson]

let's not blame on the refs. we're playing like shit. Period.

It's the refs and the Spurs both, actually. They both suck, and neither one excuses the other.

[LakerHater]

The 3 call was correct...however a foul should have been called in the backcourt when manu clearly hacked him

It was Tony!
Manu shoulda NEVER have attempted to foul Paul, Paul had clearly left the ground @ half court n Manu bailed'em out!:bang

Look @ the fouls Spurs- 25 Hornets- 17!!!

[Stand]

It was very frustrating to watch us get back into the game at the end and then watch the refs give it away.

[CP3forMVP]

Come on people. CP said it after the game, you know the team is going to foul you so why not get 3 FT'S instead of 2 FT'S. We won fair and square, get over it. The refs didn't cost yall the game.

Good game, we will probably see each other again in the playoffs.

[jbspurs]

????

[romsho]

No matter what the opinion of the officiating tonight, what happened at the end was just wrong. They blew it. The intentional foul by Tony Parker in the backcourt was obvious. The refs know it's coming...not calling it is inexcuseable.

[Brazil]

Fuck them

But Spurs should have been more vocal; lame reaction


for doing what??

[SpursFan0728]

Who cares what Chris Paul said? His ears and head are still fucked up after nate knock the wind outta him.

The 3 call was correct. Ref should not have passed on the clear foul in the backcourt. Paul was smart enough to draw contact and shoot the ball. It's not his fault that the call wasn't made in the backcourt. I still like the Spurs in a 7 game series.

[Spurminator]

Tim Duncan got a ton of bailout calls in the first half. NBA refereeing is just not very good, and watching the NCAA tournament has only solidified this for me.

[jbspurs]

It was Tony!
Manu shoulda NEVER have attempted to foul Paul, Paul had clearly left the ground @ half court n Manu bailed'em out!:bang

Look @ the fouls Spurs- 25 Hornets- 17!!!

Manu did the right thing it just happened to quick. I bet, even if threw the ball to the crowd, the refs would still give him 3 ft's. However, they made a big mistake on not fouling West and let him waste few seconds.

[onarollbaby]

I just hate it when a game is decided by a ref's call.

[The Franchise]

The 3 call was correct...however a foul should have been called in the backcourt when manu clearly hacked him

The foul in the backcourt is a weak excuse. Not getting that foul in the backcourt is Tony and Finleys' fault for not grabbing that little bastard. Wrap him up and you don't have to worry about it.

[benefactor]

The whole exchange at the end was horseshit.

That being said, we deserved to lose this game.

[Spursmania]

Did you not see the last play along with the refs?

No he's blind and stupid.

Exactly.:toast

[braeden0613]

????
Wasn't that manu that fouled him in the backcourt before the three call? if not whoever it was after he was trapped by tony and finley

Ummmm yeah if your team was the one who had gotten screwed over then you would understand. Who in the right mind, down 1 point would want to foul the opposing team on a 3 pt attempt? NONE. The foul shouldve been called on the opposite side of the floor when TP fouled him but of course the refs didnt call it. Way to go New Orleans Ref...I mean Hornets.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is a pussy thread, this loss was entirely on us.

[The Franchise]

I will say this much. Consistency of calls being made was way off.

[crc21209]

Spurs in 5 or 6. I think the Hornets are somewhat not the same from last yrs team and we're better last year.

If we foul him like that he's gonna flop like crazy and it's going to be a flagrant foul.

This is like Barry last year, people said he should've "sold" the foul which means he should've flopped, which people bitch about 24/7 and is now a fine in the NBA. What do you want us to do?

on this play, if ginoboli was going to foul him, shouldve fouled him hard like horry on nash...fuck this shit i dont tolerate this flopping prick.

Exactly.

[spurstd4]

pops sux. while he's figuring out his so called rotations, he's costing the team wins cause he want our guys to play certain minutes. he needs to play g. hill or manu at point, hell give j. vaughn some time. this crap with roger mason at back-up point sucks. refs sucked ass tonight, but so did some of our rotations. seemed like nobody wanted to shoot the ball. manu needs to drive more instead of taking the 3. we need to penetrate more and work off of that. granted we had a bad shooting night but we need to run the offense thru tony we get to stagnant with pushing the ball to timmy. pop needs to get his shit together and make sure we have a creator when the offense stalls.
