The Spurs are never gonna get it easy.
They're easily the most hated team in the NBA today. Both by fans and those moron refs. We just gotta play tough and show them their BS calls wont matter.
I hate how Timmy is having to virtually back off and let CP have his way in the paint. Is iether that or get call on a bogus foul. <_<
Considering the way the Suns fans, Nuggets fans, Jazz fans, Sonics fans, and Mavericks fans get carried away with booing every single whistle, or that big collective "AWWWWWW" when something doesn't go their way, I'd submit that a chant of "Refs you suck" in that particular third quarter was simply calling it as it was.you must have missed the "refs you suck" chants that filled the AT&T in the 3rd.
The one that sickened me was in the 2nd half when Chrissiey sensed someone near him and started to flop and was about half down before he realized it was Kennedy and managed to catch himself

What a ing disgrace the officiating was. I NEVER talk about the refs but this was abominable. TD took what, 18 shots? and NO ONE EVER FOULED HIM?!?!
ing disgraceful.
All but about three of those were jumpers. He went Dirk on us tonight.
i dont think this series has been terribly called.
spurs fans are notorious for "calling out the refs" and the the crazy part is, many times your right.
nba refs are a joke, and have in fact stolen championships away from teams who clearly should have won them.
if its not the refs gambling tendencies its the leagues agenda.
mavs in 06 for instance in the finals. that was a joke.
as well as the suns last year.
however, tonight the team that played the best won.
anything else is a pathetic excuse.
i would have liked to see Duncan and West officiated the same way. Oberto/Thomas weren't allowed to get anywhere near as physical with DW as Chandler has with Tim.
but ultimately, i thought the refs were fairly decent tonight. yes, the spurs were -15 at the line, but overall the Hornets were just more aggressive. Tony & Manu did not attack the rim like they should have. Tim should have gotten to the line more, but nowhere near enough to account for that disparity.
everybody is notorious for calling out the refs after a loss. fans who think their fan base is any different after a loss are kidding themselves.
I'm just going to ask you to tone it down a little bit or you may find yourself banned tonight. The hornets won but it wasn't pretty, it wasn't dominant despite the score.
I would use caution if I was you.
Yes he ing did
That was Dirkesque BS he pulled out there....
Good god.
The big three were passive and played very soft.
If pop had a pair he'd drop the GD soft card.
no argument there. all 3 of them were allergic to the rim tonight.
nothing i said was out of line so your "threat" dont really scare me. besides, im not posting "spurs suck" or anything childish or foul, so if i get banned i will just crack up that this series is under the skin of many. so ban me.
and yes, the game was good in the 1st half.
and yes in the 3rd and 4th it was domination.
just like games 3 and 4 were spur domination (well one of them anyway)
Every third quarter the spurs are in the penalty at the 7 minute mark at the latest! Every ing game in NO. If this series goes 7 games, Does any spurs fan on this board think that it will be any different in the third quarter of game 7? I don't think so... The ref's are letting the hornets play as physical as they can play and not letting the spurs play physical at all... I love the spurs but it kills me when i watch the game and halftime comes and i ask myself, You know whats about to happen don't you? I hate to be the guy to say that it's the ref's that are screwing the spurs and I know the spurs played like garbage tonight but you guys that have followed this team for a long time know that this happens way to often! The reffing takes us out of the game and it always puts the spurs in a hole that they can't dig themselves out of all the time!
One more question. What the is joey crawford doing ever reffing a spurs game? I mean come on! Any spurs fan that does not agree with what i'm saying please correct me cause i wanna hear what you guys think! GO SPURS GO!
the refs...they don't make that much of a difference...if the Spurs actually bothered to show up in the second half, this series would be over already.
I'm sorry, but I'm tired of hearing that particular bit of dogma. Fab had done a pretty good job of frustrating West in the last 2 games - they even gave him credit for it in the national media. In this game, Fab played 15:33, and had 5 fouls at the end. One of his fouls came on that ridiculous double-technical, double-personal call with Ely.
When you handcuff a player, his defense tends to suffer. Period, end of story. Don't tell me that refs don't or can't make a big difference. That's a popular thing to say, but it simply isn't true.
West played well, and knocked down a bunch of shots. But it's much harder to take a guy out of his rhythm when you aren't allowed to defend him. When you're trying hard not to pick up your third foul of the half, you tend to have to concede some shots you might otherwise challenge.
You can say that Fab just didn't defend, or that he didn't want it that badly. But I'd like to see you tell him that in person. I bet he saw it a little differently.
I dont know why but that was funny as .
Cry me a river !Yo this series needs a REF thread, I know we won
but man o man, the first three quarters, that black ref was on an agenda.
If we didnt hit our shots, we were done . Were lucky we made shots.
Those refs brought back memories of the 2000-2002 Lakers blatant calls against the Spurs.
I mean WTF was that?
Paul travels nothing, the other end Hornets get the call.
Tony cannot buy a foul, the Finals MVP.
I mean call a ing game like you see it.
I thought the league learned from that crooked ref.
For the first 3 quarters, the fix was in until the Spurs made too many shots for them to make an appearance.
Whats the black ref's name BTW?
Thank you. Spur fans fail to see how badly those 06 finals were officiated, and call you an ignorant homer for thinking we got screwed. But then they and moan every time another team gets a couple more calls than they do, you guys. If playing the ref card is weak, then it's weak all the time there are no double standards.
and btw you are DONE! stick a form in those old mothas
For the record, the Mavs-Heat Finals was utter bull . Nobody would like to see Cuban remain ringless more than me. But I have to admit that he would have one, if not for some astoundingly bad calls.
Sorry but the Suns fans have full rights to blaming the refs when their team stinks it up. I hate the shiny headed man but in the end the refs don't decide games so why talk about them.
Crawford was not the reason they lost tonight.
