Lakers were one of the worst teams in the playoffs because they had no business being there in the first place. LA needed dozens of crooked 40+ FTA nights just to sneak into the post-season. In reality, Utah should have been 8th and Rockets 7th. Playing the Rockets would have better prepared us for a team like Golden State.

Yeah, pretty much. Though I'm not sure if it's the fatigue or injuries that hurt them in those last couple of weeks. Probably a little bit of both.

Completely agree man. I wish we played the Rockets instead of the lakers. It would have gone more games, but at least we wouldn't have been resting on our laurels and thinking we were amazing after a series with them. On the bright side, maybe this kick in the ass will jumpstart the team. If we get Splitter back and Duncan is 100%, hopefully that'll help add enough frontcourt presence to make up for the hot/cold shooting difference between the teams.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
The only thing I agree on is a lot of moving screens. Bogut is great at those, he sets awful screens and doesn't get called. Other than that I have no complaints.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
I disagree. The way a see it is that the Spurs dodged a bullet at home and avoided going to Oakland 0-2. If the Spurs somehow wake up we can still win this one in 5 or 6. Lucky for them, the law od the averages is at their side as GS is playing well avobe their averages and Spurs below.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
Totally agree. The refs made damn sure that every single thing that Klay Thompson threw up went in. Astounding efficiency by those refs.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
I saw Tim Duncan getting away with way too many steps before his shots.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
You picked the wrong game yesterday to blame the refs. Aside from that charge on Manu that should have been a block on Bogut, I thought the refs let both teams play physical without a lot of ticky-tack calls.
If you wanted to see a badly reffed game, you should have watched Heat-Bulls. When even a commentator (Steve Kerr) says he doesn't blame a player for the stream of profanities he delivered towards a ref, it must have been pretty bad.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
Gotta love these Suns.... err I mean Spurs fans.
:rolleyes for this thread.

That game was epicaly bad. Just the WWE effect in full force.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
It would be nice if the refs would call a moving screen every time it is committed. Some teams benefit more than others from being able to hipcheck the screened defender.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
Too many of you overlook the crappy shooting that the Spurs have been guilty of in the first 2 games. In game 2, we shot a whooping 39.3 % from the field and 23.8% frin 3 pt. Translates to about 15 point we missed more than usual. Should have made 3 to 4 more FTs. % was below season average. Let's put 98 % of the blame where it counts. On the shooters, Neal 2/9, Green 4/12, Parker 7/12, with some of these shots coming at POINT BLANK range. LAYUPS. Inside, 10 FEET. How about the ball movement? 14 loosy assists for a Spurs team that average 25. Is there a problem with WHY we the SPURS lost this game. Yeah, I agree moving screens are a problem and physical play is just part of the playoffs but a couple should have been called that weren't.
GSW did not play that great of defense. We missed the shots. This was not a steal game for GSW it was a gift from the Spurs. Make shots we win, miss shots we lose.
:toast
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
I'd be hard-pressed to argue that the Spurs inability to finish at the rim when contested has nothing to do with the Warriors' defense.
Re: Refs rigged the s out of game 2
I keep hearing about the offense and yes a few buckets late last night we could've stole another game but it was the first half D. Pop blames mistakes but I believe it was his shitty plan to sit back and let them shoot. We need to switch on every pick if they end up with a few favorable mismatches to be it. As long as we're trading 3's for 2's we're fucked. They will cool off we need to wakeup.
