Cry me a river. Giving up on your team before the Finals start! Pathetic!
No surprise at all given that they took the Heat to 6 games last year with almost the same squad and Paul George not being as good as he is now.Quote:

Taking all this on board, it is still a surprise that the Pacers are just behind 1 game after 5 games in the ECF.
Imagine if OP was an NBA player? Dude would average more ejections/suspensions/fines than points/rebounds/assists, tbh.
Some can make the Rudy Gay comparison with Granger in that the Pacers win percentage improved without him and that Paul George wouldn't have developed nearly as quickly had Granger still been healthy.Quote:

Lebron can do all his damage, the Spurs just need to make sure the other players (Bosh, Allen, Battier....oh, and Wade) are not big contributors.
Spurs in 6!!!
It is bullshit he didn't get ejected, imo.
Funny how everybody thinks offcials control games by the number of fouls when actually its more about timely fouls or missed calls, which kills a teams momentum. Basketball in the NBA is a streaky game.
Foul calls can be even at the end of the game, but the true art of favoritism occurs by calling a play for a particular team at a crucial point in the game or just when the other team is getting ready to make a run. Indiana gets as many or more calls than Miami, but Miami gets the better calls.
If David Stern would have pushed someone over next to Joey Crawford he would have been ejected...
Danny Crawford touches the game with lighter fingers.
Officiating will be among the last of reason why the Spurs lose or even win. It'll come down to whether Wade is coasting or not. If the Heat come into the Finals with Wade playing at the level he is now the Spurs become the favorites. Unfortunately I'm fairly confident he's going to play loads better.
He`ll get his penalty after video review. He shouldnt play in g6. Knowing the league, there wont be Psycho T also.

Birdman cheap-shotted Hansbrough. Then he turned back and got in his face. Then he gave that two-handed full-force shove, out in the open. And THEN he physically wrestled with a ref who was trying to separate them - that alone should have been an ejection and suspension of 1 game. And then, after the ref got him all the way back to the bench, he STILL kept the barking up, which normally would be more than enough by itself to get a second T called.
Forget everything else that happened. Just that wrestling match with the ref, and the continued barking afterwards, would have gotten any player on most teams booted from the game. My complaint has nothing to do with the Spurs - it's about the ridiculous inconsistency in the league. You want to defend something indefensible? Go right ahead and prove what a dumb shit you are. Every sports outlet in the country is going to agree with me tomorrow. And many, if not most, will be asking why Nazr got booted and Andersen didn't.
if hansbrough pulled a Lebron and fell like a bitch, he could have gotten Birdman tossed. but since he stayed on his feet it became a double technical :lol

The final straw for me last year, that made me say "enough"? It was the Pacers - Heat series in the second round. Nothing to do with the Spurs, or the Pacers, really. Just the fact that the refs absolutely fucked Indy out of two games with some unforgivable whistles. After that, Miami got Bosh back, and they were unstoppable in the Finals. But they never got that far on their own.Quote:

That doesn't mean they have to be intentionally throwing games to Miami. But they see things a certain way too often. Maybe it's just expectations, and they think the Pacers don't measure up, just like a lot of the people posting here. But that's why they play the game.
When I was in college, I worked for a couple of guys who owned an auto parts store. They used to wager on professional wrestling. I'm talking about hundreds of dollars on a single match, and multiple matches per night, on the fucking WWF. They were ignorant cocksuckers, sort of like you. (Why the fuck are you even here, instead of some Knicks forum?) There were too many calls in last year's series that I just couldn't pass off as bad luck for the Pacers (sort of like the missed shot clock call last game). There were a few other reasons that I finally had enough, and when the boring offseason comes around, I'll discuss some of them. But tonight, that ref wrestling Andersen back to his bench, and then letting him continue the barking like he did - he was way, way the fuck outside the norm for NBA officiating. And he wouldn't have handled it the same way if it wasn't Miami at home. He just wouldn't.
So you will stop posting on Spurstalk?Quote:
