But Duncan got screwed tonight.
Can't do anything about it.
Duncan will come out on fire in game 5.

You just whined and played the ref card.

People I know... and watched the game with.

Sometimes the refs do alter the outcome of a game. I mean they were horrible tonight. Tim commited 2 fouls, 3 at most; this was makeup for Amare.

We didn't have Tim for most of crunch time. Why do you think we lost the lead? The foul calls against us were just plain awful and against TD in particular.

They called so many more fouls on us; the Suns shot twice as many FT as us!

We shot 7 FT's going into the 4th and the Suns had shot nearly 20. I mean come on.

This was disgraceful, but I knew as soon as I heard who the refs were that the Spurs were going to play against 8!

It was more than the refs for the loss but the "coincidence" is just baffling to me.

You need to find smarter friends. Same can be said of your friends.

Nash running into people (pushing them off balance) before handing off to teammate IS A FOUL.

The Suns got some bs calls down the stretch, but the Spurs lost this game with bad execution. They folded.

The whining paid off. No doubt about it. The only justice is that both Diaw and Amare are suspended for a game. Still we only break even because the refs were awful in this game. The Suns should have been out of it in crunch time. Horrific calls, especially against TD.

Agreed!

Refs Were Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo Horrible

Yep the refs have decided the last 2 games. Stern said to make sure it goes 7.

Yes, but there still Bavetta and Salvatore still out there! Those are the other crooked refs that Spurs need to be wary of! :bang

I'm really tired of seeing the "REF" posts after every game, win or lose. Just play the fucking game, and to the rest of you... quit bitching.

Fuck you asshole! Your bitch team got bailed out! Otherwise this series would be 3-1 so shut the fuck up troll! I wish Nash had got hurt whiny ass bitch! Way to go Horry! I'm so going to enjoy watching Stoudemire and Diaw suspended for being such dumbasses! Horry can take a day off and come back strong for the close out game!

People say when you blame the refs you are whining, but you can see when a string of bad calls change the momentum of the game. They robbed us of our aggression And I'm sure Horry's reaction was direct effect of that. I actually recall Nash on one play pass the ball and then put both arms out sheilding two defenders from closing on the shooter.

Well, some very questionable calls definitely kept the Spurs from burying the Suns in the third quarter. They probably wouldn't have been within reach to make a run at the end if not for their consistent trips to the free throw line from the middle of the third to the early fourth.

But, if the Spurs had played the last 5 minutes like they played the first 43, it wouldn't have mattered one iota.

Curious: When was the last time that a team that has been outshot by 15 free throws AT HOME not once, but twice, in a single playoffs?

wat tickd me off is the first half officiating was okay

and then 2nd half refs came in and fuckd it up

Well...

The Suns shot 6 free throws at the end of the game when the Spurs were trying to foul (two from flagrant and four others) so those are negligible. Then it's a bit closer.

But the fact is, the Suns got screwed by the refs in game 3, and any unbiased observer could see that. So I really don't care what the refs did in game 4.

Yep, Spurs still should've won this game.

Don't tell me the refs didn't change the outcome of the game when the best player in basketball had to sit for at least half of the 4th quarter because of a "charge" during which the replay showed Nash was CLEARLY in the protected area.

Fucking bullshit.

The bad call on TD charging nash to bench=crucial.

So the refs in all likelihood dictated the change of pace of the game in the suns favor with one single call. Not hard to argue that.

Ginobili was manhandled twice by Raja Bell down the stretch. Barbosa got that bs and one. I think one of the travel calls on TD was not traveling. Nash shoves Bowen with a forearm then shoves Ginobili and sets up Raja Bell for a three (He missed).

Spurs didn't help themselves. That Finley desperation three to beat the shot clock was a horrible possession. TD turned the ballover on a couple of travels and offensive fouls. We couldn't hit shit.

Game four is over. Let's all get a good nights sleep and hope the guys fill their cup up one more time. We all know they can.
