sons say what you want, but the Spurs ONLY won because of the refs

sons that was one of the most poorly called games that I have ever seen. The lopsided calls in favor of the Spurs was downright embarrassing and pathetic. seriously with it being MLK day, do the Spurs have more blacks on their team than N.O.? I am just trying to understand the blatant favoritism today. Now a win is a win so props to you guys for taking advantage of the favoritism from the refs, but damn ... don't just take my word for it. Take your homer glasses off and go look at the stats ...

The Spurs had 26 more free throws than the Hornets ... 26!!!!!!! (Spurs 38, Hornets 12)

now sons you can say all you want to try and justify it, but no excuse is legit. there is absolutely NO reason for the free throw numbers to be that lopsided. maybe one team having 10 more or something REASONABLE like that, but 26?? really??? .... I'm just proud that the Hornets were actually able to make a game of it and only lose by 7 points. unbelievable.

Actually we won because the Hornets suck.

Good thread, son.

The more agressive team gets the calls. You want to get the calls light a fire under your team's ass.

:depressed :whine :whine
:pimpslap
:nutkick:

Well...okay. I mean if there's no "legit" excuse for anyone to argue...why make the thread?

of course, the refs :)

Oh yeah;

Paul who?

Well... there were some bad calls on the spurs in the 1st half, and the hornets couldn't cash in.

The way the hornets played the 1st 3 quarters, it was as if they expected to win the game without trying. Hard to get to the line when your settling for long jumpers and not getting offensive rebounds. Spurs doubled the hornets offensive rebounds and took it strong to the basket all game long, hence the difference.

Plus Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili know how to get to the line. They combined for 25 of the 38 attempts.

LOL Hornets lost to the "mediocre" Spurs. They must really stink.

I do have to say though, that I am surprised we are not seeing more "Posey is a dirty player" comments. I was waiting for the comments to be unleashed and I am glad they have not been too bad.

You did watch the game, didn't you. Particularly in the first half the Hornets where sleep walking.

36 free throws compared to 12 ... I don't care who you are, you're not going to win a game that lopsided.

To be fair, if the roles were reversed and the Hornets got most of the calls, Spurs fans would be the ones bitching.

Give it up, BR. You didn't even watch the game except the end. The Hornets were passive and craptastic for 3 Qs while the Spurs attacked.

You are not helping yourself with this one.

Look it ain't no different for the Spurs. We've been on the short end of the calls and we have no one to blame but ourselves and our lack of aggression. This game it just so happens the Hornets were the team who had no fire. It happens to every team. So you lost because the calls were lopsided. So what? The root of your problem remains your team's lack of aggression.

oh wow really son? are you watching me or something? I saw the entire game and the Hornets were slow in the first half no doubt ... BUT like I said above. I don't give a damn if the 95 Chicago Bulls were playing ... when one team is given THREE TIMES as many free throws as the other, I don't care who you are you're not going to win.

There were some bad calls on both sides..

I didn't watch the 1st half, so I can't comment..

Duncan's "jump-ball" call was questionable, but I thought it was the right call since I don't remember the ball coming out of the other dude's hands..either way, NO got the ball back..

There was a bad call where Devin Brown lost control of the ball and threw it out of bounds, but they called it off Hill..

I don't remember any other glaring calls..

Generally I think you have some nice comments, but right now you are in denial and you are starting to whine. Let it go and start bitching about your team's lack of aggression. In the end you will feel much better facing reality.

So using words like "Niggaz" doesn't cross the line of decency but if someone merely points out a couple of badly missed calls by a black ref against white players Manu and Matt Bonner they are branded a racist. Nice standards we have here.

The Spurs were the more aggressive team...for once. While the Hornets were jacking up jumpers basically the whole the game, the Spurs....from TP to Manu to Hill to TD to Blair...were all taking it to the rack. Usually the more aggressive team gets the calls...son. :lol

No doubt we won the game because we shot more foul shots. No doubt we shot more foul shots because we were more aggressive and the Hornets were busy laying eggs.

Spurs fans would say that CP3 gets BS calls if the roles were reversed, but Hornets fans should be smart and not try to argue their case on a SPURS fan board.

I didn't watch the game, so I wouldn't know who got the better whistle. But if someone is going to use the argument that the Spurs were more aggressive than they can't turn around the next game and whine about getting enough calls. But we all know that will happen.

LMAO I love the lame "they were more aggressive" excuse. how pathetic. son you simply cannot justify having THREE TIMES as many free throws as just being "more aggressive". if it was more like 20 free throws compared to 12 then yea you could use that excuse, but 38 to 12???

Did you watch the whole game or did you just look at the stat sheet? Legit question there.

Spurs in their Championship seasons would routinely get lots of free throws for being more aggressive.

I recall in 2003 that Pop said one of the things he wanted from the team is to get more free throws on the road than the home team. That's the best way to win on the road by being aggressive and getting to the foul line. It also slows down the game and takes the crowd out of it. I've seen it a lot from the Spurs before and feel we've been getting ripped of a lot from the refs the last few seasons.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...45/6fhaxc6.jpg

We were also minus a 12 PPG average player...but yeah..if you want to go the "blame the refs" route, whatever...it's all BS.

Maybe your just pulling the chain. Maybe you've drank too much bourban. Maybe its the fact that the Hornets are in last place. The fact is no team in the NBA will shoot many foul shots by shooting jump shots and any team in the NBA will get lots of calls by attacking the basket while the other team plays reaching defesne.

I for one bemoan our lack of aggression quite a bit and expect the calls to go the other way.

Sons, it is basketball. Do you really think that every team fouls evenly every single game? Sometimes you get games like this. It is a huge disparity, but it happens.

I will say in BR's defense that the jump ball call was a total screw job call that took away a hornets basket..that call disrupted their comeback....and Paul not getting that call against Hill was rather odd seeing as it was more or less a judgement call which comes down to RESPECT which CP3 has just a tad more of.

I'm not sure why the refs fucked the hornets in the ass in the 4th, they had been doing their best to keep the hornets in the game despite their playing like zombies for 3 quarters. I think after the 3rd quarter they finally just said "fuck it you guys aren't even trying were not gonna do everything for ya"

Sons, let us drink BLL's until the anger goes away. God Bless.

Or should we just leave it at: the Spurs were more aggressive tonight?

NBA Officials lead Spurs past Hornets, 97-90
By Brett Martel

The NBA officials helped push the San Antonio Spurs over the New Orleans Hornets 97-90 on Monday. It was a relatively close game until the officials working the game decided to take control and award the Spurs with 38 free throws compared to the Hornets 12 once they received the go ahead from NBA commissioner David Stern.

Tony Parker scored 25 points and Tim Duncan added 21 points and 14 rebounds, while George Hill scored 16 points and Manu Ginobili had 11 to help the Spurs snap a two-game losing streak.

David West scored 18 points for New Orleans, which lost for only the second time in its last 15 home games. Chris Paul, who fouled out in the final minute, had 18 points and nine assists for the Hornets, while Marcus Thornton scored 16 points.

Hill started in place of Richard Jefferson, who sat out with lower back pain.

San Antonio led by double digits for most of the game, going up by as many as 21 points when Duncan hit one of two free throws to make it 76-55 late in the third quarter.

The Spurs went into the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead, which the Hornets quickly trimmed with a 7-0 run to open the period. Thornton’s fast-break layup made it 78-68 and the Hornets pulled to 80-72 on Darren Collison’s free throws with 7:06 remaining.

New Orleans missed several chances to get closer and still trailed by eight when Parker’s driving scoop made it 84-74 with 4:40 to go. Parker scored seven more points in the final minutes.

San Antonio outrebounded New Orleans 50-38 and was the more forceful team drawing fouls inside. Despite missing 14 free throws, the Spurs still outscored the Hornets 24-10 from the foul line. The Spurs were 7 of 18 from 3-point range with Keith Bogans hitting three. New Orleans went only 4 of 13 from long range.

Ginobili’s 3-pointer made it 24-12 at the end of the first quarter. The lead got as large as 18 in the second quarter on Hill’s reverse layup, which capped a 9-2 run and made it 47-29.

Parker had 16 points by halftime, when the Spurs led 56-41.

Duncan commented after the game, "Anytime you can get the kind of help that we received today its a blessing".

NOTES: Jefferson had not missed any of the Spurs’ previous 39 games. … James Posey and Parker were called for double technical fouls in the fourth quarter. … New Orleans is 15-4 at home. … The Spurs are 8-9 on the road. … This was the second of four meetings this season between San Antonio and New Orleans. The Spurs won the first, 113-96 at home. … Paul’s CP3 foundation announced that the guard had made a $61,616.61 donation to relief efforts in Haiti. The amount was to honor his grandfather, who was slain when he was 61.

You obviously didn't watch the game. The Hornets played like shit in the 1st half, that's why they lost that game.
And the fouls of CP3 with his forearm are never whistled by the refs, so i was very suprised when George Hill get that call... in New Orleans.

And i don't care if the calls were in favor of the Spurs or not, we get the win. Yeah ! :lol

this isn't different for fans of any team. it is the way of the basketball fan, simply because most fans of basketball know close to nothing about the sport and also constantly have homer glasses on. if it goes your way, your team earned it. if it goes against you, you got cheated by the refs.

I am just trying to understand the blatant favoritism today. Now a win is a win so props to you guys for taking advantage of the favoritism from the refs, but damn ... don't just take my word for it. Take your homer glasses off and go look at the stats ...

The Spurs had 26 more free throws than the Hornets ... 26!!!!!!! (Spurs 38, Hornets 12)

now sons you can say all you want to try and justify it, but no excuse is legit. there is absolutely NO reason for the free throw numbers to be that lopsided. maybe one team having 10 more or something REASONABLE like that, but 26?? really??? .... I'm just proud that the Hornets were actually able to make a game of it and only lose by 7 points. unbelievable.

Troll thread????? Bitch Faul didn't have enough barrel rolls to influence the refs, son. Besides, it's a reg season game, so stop treating it like it's the Finals, son.

well things go a bit differently when CP3 is actually called for the fouls he commits.

BTW, what does it matter if the Spurs shot twice as many FTs as any team, since they miss half of them anyway.

What is your excuse for that bush league move by Posey, when he stuck out his leg to trip Duncan as Timmy was going up for the layup? That was cheap and dirty. There is no business for that kind of play.

This thread is borderline Mavs fan whining.

what are you talking about. It was an offensive foul. CP3 lowered his shoulder and ran over Hill.

As for the last set of FTs by Hill....it was a breakaway foul. Hill was ahead of all defenders. When a foul is committed it is called a breakaway foul.....2 FTs and the ball.
