Manu was fouled twice

[bugmenot]

i'm sick of the NBA being racist against white people f;ing lame

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL..Duncan got fouled a minute earlier my man..

[timvp]

Didn't look like either one was a foul. The first one I'll have to watch again but that second one was Manu flopping trying to get an and-1.

[SequSpur]

and they left noah wide open for a put back and left derrick rose unguarded for a 9 footer...wtf?

[DPG21920]

No foul. Extremely weak take though.

[SequSpur]

duncan was fouled...not sure about ginobili..i thought that was a good no call.

[Shastafarian]

I'd be interested to know what PF/C average the fewest FTs per game in the league. Gonna go search basketball reference...

[alchemist]

ehh.... he could've tried to jump and get the rebound that pretty much won the game for the Bulls (Noah rebound/score)

The Spurs keep shooting themselves in the foot, from the players to the coaches.

Flop or not he got nailed in the upper body with at least a small amount of force - which is a foul IMO.

[DPG21920]

Tim just shot 21 FT's last game, no?

[easy7]

Is this team that bad that is has to depend on refs to bail it out? Just saying..

[HarlemHeat37]

I understand not calling the foul on Manu, but he did get bumped..

Duncan clearly got fouled though, I don't know how you guys can say he wasn't..I saw at least 2 arms hit his arm..

Yeah, the second one was not a foul which pisses me off that some of the players on our team think they can go weak or just throw up anything and they'll get the call. They rely on that too much.

I looks that way.

I don't agree... I'm watching Spurs Live right now and there was a lot of body contact from Rose on that last drive. They didn't really deserve to win anyway though since they couldn't get a stop to save their lives. I'm even more sick after hearing that the Bulls came in at 27th in offense or something like that. Spurs make poor shooting teams find their groove again!

[timvp]

On that last drive Manu's neck was pulled back by Rose's body.

That was Manu flopping backwards to draw the and-1. Smart play since the Spurs were down three but the outcome was obviously less than ideal.

[Shastafarian]

How about adding 5 seconds to the shot clock when it was clearly not above 2

Earnin those paychecks!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

There was more contact on Ginobili than on Hedo last night!

That's the shot clock rule for jump balls- Bill Land is stupid.

[Kori Ellis]

Regarding last minute calls:

When there's a no call in favor of the Spurs, Spurs fans say, "Good job by the refs, gotta let them play this late in the game." When it doesn't favor the Spurs, then the complaining begins.

Bottomline is the Spurs got off to scorching start and they need to play some D and start putting teams away early. It shouldn't come down to calls that could go either way late in the game. The team shouldn't be letting opponents shoot 70% in a half, and they shouldn't be playing Timmy and four guards when they need stops late in games.

[ploto]

I don't think that was a Manu flop, but I am just confused as to how the Raps get a questionable call against the Lakers of all teams and the Spurs get nothing.

The call for Hedo was not questioned by anyone but a Lakers fan.

[Shastafarian]

That's a new one to me.

[ElNono]

Not the reason we lost. Out of curiosity, I would still like to know if Pop really drew that play at the end...

I guess when you start winning games of your own accord, you earn the respect of the refs. Until then, we'll continue to be treated like we deserve.
