I could just be blanking on that.

Or maybe I lost track of the conversation and used it as an opportunity to go off on a rant about the officials continuously screwing up block/charge calls and showing even they don't really understand those rules ;)

but yeah you're right about the blocking/charging calls - i'm convinced that, unless they're blatantly in the restricted area, the refs just make sure half the calls go one way and half the calls go the other.

I'm not blaming anyone but the players, and I'm more disappointed at the specifics of that rule than anything else. Is it fair? No. But it is correct, and that other guy was bring up that FT disparity to show how "fair" it was for the Spurs in Game 4. Again, you're attacking me for making that guy recognize what happened in Game 3.

I bring up the FT's because I have heard nothing but complaining from Suns fans on how the Suns are getting jobbed and unfair treatment at the hands of the league office and the refs.

My point is that the officiating was terrible in Game 4. I'm not saying that it was the reason we lost but it sure helped you to win. You guys have gotten the better end of shitty officiating in this series.. So, for Amare and Diaw to be suspended is just shit coming back around.

The Spurs don't make the rules and don't think that us losing Horry for 2 games isn't a big deal. He has 6 rings for a reason. He comes up big in big games.

Well, if you're going to not call it correctly, at least call it equally incorrectly ;)

I just wish they'd quit calling the block every time in the restricted area. I've seen someone run headlong into someone who was standing in the same spot since the ball crossed half court and it was a block. According to the rules, that should be a no-call (though more likely than not it would fit under defensive 3 seconds as well).

Why was Bell so close to Robert Horry's elbow ? He charged at him as if he was actually going to do something. Horry didn't run at Bell with his Elbow. Fuck Bell. He's just a little shit-talker anyways. Of course, I'd take him on my team any day but that's besides the point.
