LOL..Duncan got fouled a minute earlier my man..
Didn't look like either one was a foul. The first one I'll have to watch again but that second one was Manu flopping trying to get an and-1.
and they left noah wide open for a put back and left derrick rose unguarded for a 9 footer...wtf?
No foul. Extremely weak take though.
duncan was fouled...not sure about ginobili..i thought that was a good no call.
I'd be interested to know what PF/C average the fewest FTs per game in the league. Gonna go search basketball reference...
ehh.... he could've tried to jump and get the rebound that pretty much won the game for the Bulls (Noah rebound/score)
The Spurs keep shooting themselves in the foot, from the players to the coaches.
Flop or not he got nailed in the upper body with at least a small amount of force - which is a foul IMO.Quote:

Is this team that bad that is has to depend on refs to bail it out? Just saying..
I understand not calling the foul on Manu, but he did get bumped..
Duncan clearly got fouled though, I don't know how you guys can say he wasn't..I saw at least 2 arms hit his arm..
Yeah, the second one was not a foul which pisses me off that some of the players on our team think they can go weak or just throw up anything and they'll get the call. They rely on that too much.Quote:

Spurs make poor shooting teams find their groove again! :bangQuote:

Earnin those paychecks!
There was more contact on Ginobili than on Hedo last night!
That's the shot clock rule for jump balls- Bill Land is stupid.Quote:

Bottomline is the Spurs got off to scorching start and they need to play some D and start putting teams away early. It shouldn't come down to calls that could go either way late in the game. The team shouldn't be letting opponents shoot 70% in a half, and they shouldn't be playing Timmy and four guards when they need stops late in games.
The call for Hedo was not questioned by anyone but a Lakers fan.Quote:

I guess when you start winning games of your own accord, you earn the respect of the refs. Until then, we'll continue to be treated like we deserve.
If a jump ball is retained by the offense after being caused by the defense tying the ball up-- and there are less than 5 seconds on the shot clock-- the clock is reset to 5. If the defense wins the jump (as happened) then obviously they get 24 seconds.Quote:

The 24-second clock shall remain the same as when play was interrupted or reset to 5 seconds, whichever is greater, any time on jump balls retained by the offensive team as the result of a held ball caused by the defense.
It wasn't really a foul. I don't know why Manu thought the refs were going to bail him out with that weak ass play. I hate it when players try to get the call rather than do their job and try to score the damn basketball.
It annoys the hell out of me.
Shitty Ginobili play down the stretch
Again
if TP had missed those two last shots, there would have been ten threads bashing him.
I get really tired of the whiny Manu or Tony fans complaining about who should get the most blame or credit around here.Quote:

I'll always be OK with manu taking the last shot, as for tim or tony, though. he has earned this right, no doubt. but when he misses, he misses, that's all. no BS excuse.
Tony played well and has been playing well... if I have a beef with Tony in this game, it's his defense. Hinrich took him to school. But he always has been a fairly lousy defender, so there's nothing new there. It's just like I've been disappointed with Manu's shooting. Even though he's making up for it with other stuff, it would be nice to have both.Quote:

Agree, and there's bigger fish to fry as far as finding why we're not performing up to par...Quote:

It could be the same old song this year. i'm not saying i agree with that but if his PF let him improve his defense in PO as usual, i can live with it (unless the Spurs aren't even if PO of course).
how about those mysterious 5 seconds.
I agree, and my point was that normally Tony makes up for that with his scoring. Like I said, this team has bigger problems than Manu or Tony.Quote:

If that were Kobe attempting the same play...???
Oh Well...it's the part of basketball that has been around as long as the sport itself. Too bad the Spurs couldn't make defensive stops earlier that wouldn't have made THAT play THAT important.
if the spurs only play good basketball there would be no excuses for no calls
While I completely agree with this, I think you could replace the name Spurs with just about any other team, and the outcome would be about the same.Quote:
