Yeah, I do this a lot. I think the last time I complained about a foul was when Duncan fouled out for having his foot stepped on by Dirk.
I'll be waiting for examples of all the calls the Spurs got.
[QUOTE=Obstructed_View;2411374]You must have missed when Duncan was called for a charge on Nash, when he was called for a foul on either Shaq or Amare when he didn't actually touch anyone, when Amare changed his pivot foot twice and jumped into Timmy's chest, Parker's sixth foul, Shaq's sixth, seventh and eighth fouls, Amare throwing himself into Oberto's armpit to draw a foul.
That's just off the top of my head. I've never watched a Spurs game before where I felt grateful that the Spurs got a whistle on an obvious call.
What an absolute joke that last statement is, exactly what I meant by my last post. Spurs always get screwed and finds ways to win, blah blah blah. Shut up with that junk, you know damn well the Spurs get their share of calls.

You're a complete homer, so no matter what anyone brings up, you will never agree with it. The Spurs, along with every other team gets cheap calls, it's the way the NBA works, not some crap that 29 get calls against them, and the Spurs have never had a cheap whistle go their way. Quit sounding like a fool man.
Yeah, I didn't think you were going to be able to come up with any.
Someone else said it also... I thought the officiating was HORRIBLE, but that was from my perspective inside the arena, so maybe it was just skewed by the angle if so many people were saying it was fair. I did get the impression that the refs did what they could late to keep Shaq in the game. I have a very hard time believing all of the drives to the basket right at Shaq... and not a single foul when he swings his arms in a downward motion every single time.
One minor thing that I thought was horrible was right at the end of the 1st half, I don't remember which Spur took the shot - Grant Hill got the rebound and stood on the baseline waiting to find someone to outlet to. My ass is in the upper level and it was clear as day to me, but the refs are all jogging down the court for the next possession. I know, it's super minor, just got me even more pissed off at the time.
Every game has missed calls. Officials are not favoring one team.
This complaining about officiating would even be worse than this had the spurs lost.
You should have been jumping for joy when you saw this guy on the court. Bennet Salvatore hates Pop and he hates the Spurs. There were ty calls in that game, but there were an equal number of ty calls for both teams.
I still say the best ref in the game is Dan Crawford.
If the Spurs had lost, it would have been on them for playing so poorly in the first quarter. You don't give a good team a big lead and ever expect to win.
That said, Suns fans are known for going crazy after "evenly officiated" games. Even they know they can't blame the zebras for this one.

Dan Crawford? r u kidding me? steve Javie is the bestYou should have been jumping for joy when you saw this guy on the court. Bennet Salvatore hates Pop and he hates the Spurs. There were ty calls in that game, but there were an equal number of ty calls for both teams.

I'll just name one. Tim cleanly blocked one of Amare's shots and put Amare on the line for 2.
What about Joey Crawford. He's a bigtime Tim Duncan fan.
I don't remember that one, but that would mean that all three of Duncan's fouls were on BS calls.
it is fun to talk about what a horrible job brothers did yesterday, just to see what phx troll would come out a call me a homer...Yes I love my spurs, yes i am a homer, yes brothers sucked.
I thought the refs let the players decide the game from the 4thQ and both overtimes. The first three Q's it seemed like the ref's went whistle happy. However, I am sure they are aware of the intensity of this matchup and the drama between these two teams and do not want a fight to get started, so they will be very whistle happy.

I still think the best official in the NBA at the moment is Mike Callahan, who called yesterday's game. He's not the big name with fans that Javie or the Crawfords are, but he's almost never out of position and almost always makes the correct call without fear of being unpopular.
dude what planet do you live on
it must not have salt lake city utah on it
Unless Drob was playing in the game. Those two for some reason didn't get along. I think it went back to the #5 playoff game in Utah in '98 or maybe '97. I think Drob either pushed him/ ran into him or something to that effect and got T'd. Can't remember exactly - may someone could refreh my memory. It ain't memorex anymore.
After that every time his name came up as a ref for our games I'd just cringe and hope for the best.
I thought the complaining by the players on both teams was more annoying than the officiating itself. Only a few blown calls, as can be expected in any game.
Nash was set outside of the charge circle. That was a decent enough call. Judgment call but nowadays the defensive player gets the benefit of the doubt as long as they are outside the circle.
Did you not read the post you quoted?
How many thousands of times has Tim got the same call in his career?
Easy call. Parker hit his elbow. Parker even said after the game that he fouled him.
On the Ginobili one, Shaq got all ball first and any contact was created by Ginobili. That was a good no call. Playoff games shouldn't be won at the line, especially on a questionable call.
Yes because Duncan never does that.
This was about as fair a game as could be expected ... especially with BS calling the game. There were a few bad calls but both teams got 'em.
I saw nothing that warranted a call to 911 for a waaaaaaaaambulance.
So, you believe that Manu should have gotten a lot of and-1s on his scored drives late in the game with Shaq with 5 fouls? The block was maybe questionable, but given that Shaq got the ball first and some Manu's body as a follow through, plus Manu's reputation of flopping, the non-call is justifiable by any standard. It's not like the missed call on Parker for hitting Nash's shooting hand for a layup late in the game. Or when Kurt pushed Diaw away to clear path for Manu drive and score in OT. (Refs were attentive enough to call the 6th on KT the next trip he did the same thing again.)
Now, for a game, the total amount of bad calls is surprisingly low. And Spurs benefitted most due to the resulting foul troubles on the Suns bigs that made Manu and Parker drives possible.
Probably a slowpoke.jpeg here, but what's the story with Salvatore and the Spurs?
I thought the Refs had some bad calls, more on the spurs than the suns.
I thought the calls favored the Suns, especially in the first half. There were 2 or 3 ball going out of bounds calls that I thought went the Suns way that hurt the Spurs trying to get momentum. In the 2nd half, I thought it got a little more balanced and I think Pop's T may have helped turn the tide...
