Then again I don't think the Spurs really get to play when Crawford is officiating.Quote:

The Heat blocked the few layup attempts of the Spurs and got most of the defensive rebounds to be had. A couple times, the Heat kept some guards back so they could start a fast break. Hence, the high number of jump shots from the Spurs. Also, Wade's block on Duncan was HUGE. Duncan needs to go strong with that.
Also I want to point out the charge on Ginobili when he did try to get to the rim was a huge momentum killer. On the other end, Ginobili fell over (either by force or acting ability, I don't know) thanks to Bosh, James and others. No-call. That sends a pretty big message right there.
Can anyone think of any other sport where the names of the referees are common knowledge?Quote:

The most interesting thing is that the final box score showed an almost equal number of FTA by both teams. Too bad the Spurs got FTAs when it didn't matter anymore. As people say, it's a shame they "chose to be aggressive" at the very end of the game.
We better hold on to that HCA... it's no guarantee, but to say home cooking doesn't exist in the NBA is simply retarded. Every team gets it.
FWIW Wade went to the line about 4 times during the night off of jump-shot fouls and even fucking Chalmers got "fouled" shooting a jump-shot....Quote:

Can't keep a mental tab, but it seems like he has handed us a 2-15 deficit in that span...
If I were the Spurs FO I would boycott any playoff game where Joey was assigned as ref... :bang
A boycott will result in a forfieted loss.Quote:

How bout wade's block on Duncan they keep showing, he fucking front palm thrusted him in the solar plexus with his left had before blocking it with his right(no call) if I could do that and get away with it I'd lead the league in blocked shots.
It's the Block of the Night.Quote:

If you look at the close-up view from the baseline and pause/unpause in rapid fashion, notice how Wade never touches the ball until well after the initial collision. The collision weakens the shot as it is coming out of Tim's hand, enabling Wade to get to it.Quote:

Even though baseball and football has had their share of black eyes " recent on going nfl lockout " they do not seem to baby their superstars as much as the nba. Over the years the nba has made this to obvious. Last nights game after a while just became unwatchable. The foul calls get to be so outragous; i think some of the players on the court just give up. The game is supposed to be 5 on 5, not 5 on 8. The nba is like our galaxy and david stern is god.
Tuned out middle of the second. Spurs didn't show up, knew it wasn't going to get better, figured I'd save myself the time.
Other than the blowout of the Heat at home, can't remember the last time the Spurs looked like a legit contender. They've either taken their foot off the gas and gone Preserve Mode or they've already played their best ball.
Meh...
