A lot of whistles tonight.

12 free throws in the third quarter for the hornets. 0 for the spurs.
But if the spurs hit their open three pointers, the spurs are still in it. If the spurs are going to win this series, they need to hit their threes b/c the refs are not going to give us any breaks.
There's no one single factor that accounts for a loss. West and Paul played well tonight. The Spurs were generally passive. And officiating was definitely a factor tonight - the game was not called the same way on both ends.
Oh well. Gotta play better on Thursday and hope the officiating evens out the rest of the way.
Right now, the ONL good thing about the Spurs is the Megan Fox sig!
The refs cannot dictate the game when you make your jump shots
when they see an opening they will take the opening to dictate the game as they wish
double Tech early on, lopsided FT , then make it up at the end, so the stat sheet shows close FT shots of both teams
always 1 Ref follows some sort of agenda, either personal or pre-arranged by league down.
the NBA is very corrupt through the refs, it has too much to lose.
i dont blame the loss on the refs but Joey made sure to dictate the flow with his double Technicals and bench T and all that that was very biased vs the spurs.
he was on an agenda for sure from the start.
its not just the spurs, it happens to every team in a series.
Magic got raped by the refs in games 2 and 3.
the non suspension of garnett vs hawks.
like that.
NO was (and still is) on the verge of failing in NO hence the ASG this season, its the golden child like Cleveland was last year .
sad when the refs lineup needs to be seen before you can see if you have a fair shot at winning.
the nba attendence was down league wide this season, it doesnt want the TV ratings to crumble as well.
The reason spurs won games 3 and 4 is because they hit their jumpers and did not allow the refs to blow whistles as much as they would of , if it was close by 3-5 pts.

The difference is, Mavericks fans are still ing about that, despite it being 2 years ago (case in point).
Banned for what? What was said that is so offensive?
The Spurs don't award free throws just based on time you spend on the floor. The Spurs didn't go aggressively to the hoop. Duncan had everyone set up for a free throw parade in the second half and never closed the deal. That's on him. Manu and Parker had open lanes to the rim and opportunities to run, and they didn't take them. That's on them. The role players had wide open shots and failed to make them, and in many cases, failed to even attempt them. That's on them.
Yeah, smells like '06 again. Spurs can't win against 8 on the floor.
I haven't seen many comments about how physical the Hornets are but I (while admitting my knowledge of the game is limited) thought them to be very physical. Their timing is extremely good, catching the Spurs shooter just on release. The way some of those hips are being thrown around the music over the PA may as well be "The Bump." I know it is play-off basketball but if the refs won't make calls the Spurs get bounced around the floor. Outside of Bowen we don't have anyone that hands it back. I thought Thomas would, he has the look, but I haven't seen it.

I had better see a VERY physical Spurs team come Game 6.
I want to see Hornets hitting the deck on every play.
you, NO, you can't beat us the right way, so let's play the bully game.
lol, come on guys, you're kidding right? You can't seriously be blaming the refs for getting beat again.
I guess everyone failed to see Tyson Chandler sitting out the first half because of two fouls called on picks that were perfectly legal?? No one saw Manu flop to the floor and make three free throws in the first quarter without even being touched. Tony Parker had two OBVIOUS traveling calls where they called nothing, or Parker spinning and falling to the floor without being touched and the Hornets get a foul. These were just top of my head.
It was a 22 point game. The Spurs lost to a very good team. It happens, let's see how they respond now.
+ 1,000,000!
Every third quarter in New Orleans when the Spurs were "aggressive" they got called for fouls. When the Hornets were "aggresive" they were "rewarded" with the calls in their favor, or no-calls against them. The result being that the Spurs had to become less aggressive, the hornets were encouraged to become more aggressive, and they paraded to the line for half of the third quarter. Game over. Again.
I wouldn't say anything (and I haven't) if it hadn't been EVERY third quarter in New Orleans. But three times in a row is a little obvious, Stu. Guess you want the Lakers next opponent to be plenty beat.

Just throwing this out there. The last time it happened was in San Antonio. Remeber Byron being upset that we didn't attack more after that.
No calls, no excuses. Take it strong to the rack, and no gay sideways telegraphed oafish finger rolls by Duncan begging to get slammed through the hardwood by even a New Orleans guard.
The Spurs change their at ude in by Game 6 and get aggressive on offense, they'll get calls.
I'm pretty sure they don't care who wins this series as long as it goes to seven games.
And game seven will be a blood-bath. The refs will swallow their whistles that night, except as needed to keep the game close so the mutual beatings continue.
Seems familiar...
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
pop should have been thrown out of the game for slapping a refs hand
And a ref should be fined for touching a coach or a player.
Vaguely yes.Seems familiar...
The Spurs can always play physical if the refs allow it.
A bully game wont happen from the Spurs. Pop won't allow it
I swear Pop told Joe Crawford "get your in hands off me".
The reffing was . its obvious. No, bad officiating should not decide a game, but it definitely doesnt help.
the Hornets didnt commit their first team foul in the third quarter until there was about 2 minutes left. In a playoff game? Thats unheard of.
The spurs on the other hand were in the penalty with 9 or so minutes left.
even Reggie Miller used the word conspiracy last night.
Chandler is just a hacker. When you set a pick, you can't throw your elbows into the back of the guys head. Yeah, Parker travels but Paul carries the ball nearly all the time. I noticed that every time Paul fell down, there was a whistle shortly thereafter. Don't tell me that the Hornets didn't get the upside of the calls. Oh yeah----Manu did flop. Trying to tell me that Paul has never done that?
He used the word acting in regards to the Spurs too.
