Yes I do. I think that was 2003 playoffs if I recall correctly. Game 2?

I guess when your name is Jizzdale you are expected to blow your load on national television.
memphis got screwed tonight. Cmon guys, we hate it when they screw us, we should at least admit it when we get the benefit of whistles.
Grizz only arrived at the half time interval. Home cooking was all eaten.
Those of you that are saying Memphis got screwed, how badly in your opinion did they get screwed? You think it cost them the game?
You've got one poster saying that it's a top 20 screw job of all time.
I just don't see it like some of you guys are seeing it. To me, it's maybe top 500, as I don't think it (a few bad calls with 95% of them being legit) even came close to costing them the game.
Having said all that, it should have went even further in our favour as they should have had more fouls called against them. So those few bad calls should have been more than irrelevant as they should have had more fouls called on them. They didn't play defense without fouling, and that's on them. They consequence of all their fouling is that they got the Spurs in the bonus, again, that was all on them.
I don't really want to hear anymore of this shit about them getting screwed. There were a couple of egregious calls, but the Spurs should have had even more fouls called for them. Play defense without fouling. If you can't, then shut the fuck up about it. It's not even like most of the fouls were touch fouls or phantom fouls, most of them were actual fouls. I just do not understand where some people are coming from on this subject.
He should be fired, in my very humble opinion.
He is the one who is unprofessional.
Spurs never complain.
That's a foul committed by miami on Manu in the 2013 NBA finals, tbh
ginobli had just gotten away with taking 4 steps hahaha. Besides, that Miami series was fairly officiated. If anything, we got more whistles than them. Hey, I'm glad to get the win, but but some of the calls on Memphis' comeback were crazy. You know like I know had we been on the end of those whistles, we'd all be pissed. I don't know what the league is trying to do but I don't like it in the long run. I don't trust Powder
And in what universe would the nba wanna help the Spurs? Maybe all the high rated finals the Spurs played in? Or because they were so much more exciting then those steve nash suns teams?
Flat out BS. Post video proving your point. On PTR, you can see in the posted videos at least 3 plays by ZR where he fouled Pau or someone else, and there was no call. So let's give the Grizz their 3 missed calls, and give the Spurs their 3.
And when ZBo's headband came off? That is what happens when you pound your head against someone. Not a foul by the defender.
The people arguing "but stats" have Texas Instruments computers for brains. Not only do they pick stats that in no way entail that the Spurs "should" have had more foul calls against them, but in any single game, those long-term aggregated stats are by and large meaningless in the decision making process of an individual game. The Grizz play physical and foul because they are undisciplined. They are undisciplined because they are playing some D-League level players, and a 40 year old VC.
This whole narrative by Fitz and the Twitterazi (as JVG calls them) is disgusting and insulting to the Spurs. Spurs have haters again it seems. I mean, do all these viewers really feel that if the calls they wanted were made, the Grizz have a chance in this series? They aren't a typical 7 seed? How many 2's upset 7's? Honestly? It's ridiculous.
Anyway, this all just takes away from the pleasure of watching what a monster MVP Kawhi has been. He was great in the RS, but these last two games he has shown something I personally hadn't seen before - Duncan-like efficiency and taking over a game. He couldn't be stopped (without fouling anyway).
I could understand all this complaining if Memphis where playing against James Harden or The Golden State Warriors...
But the spurs?
A difference of 18 FTA in one game is not that unusual.
