Is there a site that posts up-to-date rosters with salary?

Did David West Officially Sign?
What is Spurs current roster?

Here's the most important stat of the night, and for the rest of the Spurs' playoffs. As I write this, the Spurs have committed 17 personal fouls, and the Mavs have committed 18 personal fouls. But the Spurs have only shot 9 free throws, compared to 23 for the Mavs. And it has nothing to do with the refs not calling the game evenly. The game plan for Dallas has been to hack the Spurs at every opportunity, to throw them out of their offensive rhythm. They aren't fouling guys when they are shooting - they are fouling them out on the floor before they even think about shooting. And it's taken away everything the Spurs do to create offense. They know that they can get away with a level of contact that would never work during the regular season. And they would be stupid not to take advantage of it. Count on every team doing the same thing, if the Spurs do get past the first round. And it will work for them, too.

It's not a matter of the foul calls being uneven. They aren't uneven. It's the league's philosophy to call the post-season differently, and it affects the Spurs' style of play more than pretty much any other team in the playoffs. All that famous "ball movement" is no longer possible, because guys are being held up and bumped off their routes. And the Spurs are totally dependent on the motion and timing. Bottom line, the playoffs are built for hero ball, and the Spurs aren't worth a at that.

Another way of looking at it is that the Mavs are playing playoff style basketball, and the Spurs aren't. And the Mavs have a number of players that are just much better at playing hero ball.

I told you exactly what was going to happen and why, and the usual cast of dumb commenters came on to do anything to keep from discussing basketball. If you're ing about the officiating - quit. It's not a conspiracy against the Spurs, and it's not going to change. Just know that you wasted those first 82 games, and lost a lot of sleep for nothing. Because that sport is over for the year. And you're watching a team that isn't built for this sport. All the ignorant comments in the world aren't going to change that.

The Spurs survived this game (but only because Ellis just plain bricked a lay-up.) They may even survive the first round. But their motion offense doesn't work in this (post-season) sport. And there is no doubt that every team knows how to take advantage. Pay close attention. It isn't the contact while the Spurs are shooting that are kiling them. It's the contact off the ball that destroys their offensive flow. And that's the way this sport is played. To me, it's not basketball anymore. I'm a shameless addict, I guess, because I'm watching some of the post-season. But it all looks like a ing rugby scrum.

It's also the reason why we'll be playing the Heat in the Finals, and why we have very little chance of winning it all this time. Anybody who says that the league isn't biased is deluding themselves.

If you're not watching Game 5 of the ECF, watch the Youtube video below. Birdman took a cheap shot on Hansbrough, then turned around and escalated things by getting in Hansbrough's face, and then shoved the out of him. Just a few days ago, Nazr Mohammed shoved LeBron EXACTLY the same way, and he got ejected for it. And Nazr didn't commit the cheap shot first, either. Instead of ejecting Birdman, this play wound up with a double technical call on Birdman AND Hansbrough. We can argue about blocks/charges, or any other judgment calls, forever. But there's no debate about this call. When someone does it to Miami, it's an ejection. When Miami does it to someone else, it's just a tech, and the other team gets one too.

The Pacers were still up by 4 at the half, but the refs have taken over the third quarter, and the Heat players have that look on their faces, like they know the fix is in. Get ready to face the Heat, and the zebras, in the Finals. I'm going to follow the Spurs through the Finals, just because I have so much history. But after that, the NBA.
