The refs don't want to see the series over quickly. They get paid by the game. And getting the Spurs eliminated would get them more games than they would have gotten, tbh; yes, the NBA has a you rub my back, I'll rub your back system. But these refs know Memphis is a lost cause. They're not bothering to try to cheat in the hopes that they can lose by only single digits.Quote:

This is nothing new, once we started playing Splitter more (and now replaced with Aldridge), Z-bow could not do a damn thing against the Spurs. Did you really expect him to keep making those BS fadeway 3 PT and other long jumpers like he did in 2011?!?!
ROFL

I thought we had a lot of calls on our side. I think they may be doing that during a series we'd win regardless, so they can screw us over against GSW and say it just evened out.
The griz want to play rough and physical on defense, but want calls for the Spurs playing the same way back???

So much ref help tbh, being at the bottom of the league in FTAs every season for over half a decade.
