dude if u want to vent about something that actually matters post it. not this crap
The only thing I will attest to is the Spurs came into the game on a high that ended abruptly. They came in y and proud and they got beat. Their at ude and game prep was garbage.
Normally, down 2-3 I would be pissed off. Normally after an ass whipping I am pissed off and complacent with what is going on in their heads to be this good and play that bad. Because they did, they played like .
But I have read through threads the day after, read through what some trolls and regs have to say about the game and I was shocked.
A lot of you wouldn't post this because you have no balls, worry about what people think about you, or frankly are stupid enough to believe referee's do not change the outcome of the game.
Well you would be right, the outcome of this game was going to be ugly for the Spurs regardless. Hornets played like they were about to send us fishing and the Spurs once again just coasted along and didn't catch any fire.
Crawford hates Tim, Pop, and the Spurs. He hates us. Flat out dislike of our players and franchise. That is clear. As a fan of the Spurs you need to realize and accept that.
Crawford instigates fights and problems with the Spurs. Obviously I don't need to comment if you are a fan you know this.
The games officiating was cheap, unfair, and completely lopsided. San Antonio didn't have a chance to come back at any point in the 2nd half even if we did happen to actually hit shots for a change.
It became clear early on when Oberto was called for a double tech along with Ely when Oberto was the one just pushed to the ground. How much crap is that seriously? I could not believe it. That's stuff that is just in your face wrong, how can you make a call like that?
Chris Paul got in the lane and light contact yet still gets these calls? Parker has more contact at the rim, gets laid out how many times? And only gets the foul when he forcefully takes it to the rack on purpose when he was upset.
I am sick and tired of Chandler's moving little push screens. Almost every ing one he pushes Parker or the defender before he rolls away. It is so obvious why can't it be called?
Parker drew a perfect charge in the 3rd I believe... nope... blocking foul on Parker.
If you saw all of this you think you would be smart enough to realize whatever pride you think you have as a fan and just admit to what your eyes see.
Spurs didn't show up to play. Again. It's not 3rd quarter curses or anything special, Hornets just come out to play and we come out to settle on jumpers and turnovers. But it's really ing sick, disgraceful and sad when not only are you getting owned on the court, the officials are owning you just as bad. But in a loss like this I understand nobody wants to talk about that though. Nobody wants to talk about the flat out truth.
Hornets were allowed to play rough, hard and aggressive. And the Spurs were not. If we had made this a game, we would have lost anyways folks. Crawford was not going to allow it. And if you are so upset over getting beat by 20, then realize and be happy it wasn't by 2 and over a bad call, because then, everyone here would have some ing balls for a change to admit the shame of what the NBA calls officiating. And it would have hurt 20x worse losing a close game like that rather than being blown out.
So please, do not waste your time replying with your typical "Blame it on the refs" or "Making excuses" or "Morale victory alert" bull . Frankly my point is clear, we weren't in the game regardless so that's pretty void.
And I don't need to see you lame comments about "Spurs always get the calls and when they don't they " because, we in the last decade have had the best defenses around. We earn respect, and with good defense comes its benefit of the doubt on calls on the court. That's how the game is, momentum.
I wanna see how many of you "fans", new here and some vets can admit to the bull just once.
You really think when Duncan was thrown out for laughing that was the last time we got screwed?
You really think Crawford did not have it in for us and that could have been a set up game?
Crawford even reffing Spurs game is bull and that should not even be allowed. I am so sick and tired of this forum and a lot of you people in general.
Spurs need a reality check. Go home kiss your wife, your baby, your whatever you hold close to your heart. And try not to let them realize you guys are playing like the biggest underachievers to ever play in this league to go out and lose like you are doing. Get it in your ing head you are not special, everybody hates you and has for a while now, and you have to kill to win. The killer mentality. Heard of it? Because if you can live with losing to this Hornets team like you are, and get sent home from these playoffs then fine. Thanks for the rings, they were great times. But the day you realize this team is better then 2-3 and losing by 20 three times in one series, will be the day Crawford dies being thrown through his windshield on the way to the game in a horrible freak accident.
I believe. Always have and always will. But if we go out like this I hope the franchise realizes this would be the new biggest let down. They year the champion veteran Spurs got whipped by a bunch of kids, with no bench, and a team that cries more than we do for a change.
Right. Screw my pride. I admit the truth and bite down no matter the taste. Wish some of you would do the same for once.
dude if u want to vent about something that actually matters post it. not this crap
Sorry, I thought calling out the Spurs players mattered.
You aren't calling out the Spurs players. You're using that as an excuse to act like the refs are discriminating against the Spurs. There was nothing wrong with the officiating last night. You're in denial about your team, so you have to blame it on the refs.
Fool. So easy it is to give typical rebuttals from your side of this. I called them out, try reading. (lmao wow)
They were last night discriminating against the Spurs. And there was everything wrong. Crawford has an agenda and it's obvious. This is why Pop is going to the league office. He just mentioned the politically correct reason why, but he is going to splurge everything not.
I have no denial. Once again if you read, I said we got beat, we didn't show up, we didn't do a ing thing but suck. And I'm glad it was not a close game because to lose over bull in a close game would have this forum, going nuts and half of us jumping by now.
BLAH BLAH BLAH...lets just break some legs!
I do agree that Crawford reffing a Spurs playoff game this early after being reinstated is sketchy. No way that should happen. He freakin threw Duncan out of a game for laughing... on the bench. And now he's reffing Duncan in a playoff game?
I saw quite a few calls go against us. A lot of fans in yellow were calling for Crawford's head in the first half. Why? We were losing. As soon as we took the lead the calls didn't matter as much. Blame the refs all you want, but bad officiating didn't cost you twenty points.
I mean I could go back (looking at your avatar) and say that refs caused LSU to lose the game against Arkansas last year, that was some of the worst officiating ever. But all in all we lost to you then won the championship, so t5he refs didn't matter as much.
Now with your season in the brink of collapse you need a scapegoat. Teams lose games, not fans and not the refs, maybe if you lost by just a few points.
Also if Tony Parker grabs his head one more time in a game I am going to puke, he falls on his but and grabs his head. Always something with his head.
Really you wrote a long ass post just to say the "refs cost us the game". Its better to be more direct.
On a side note I will admit my aggression and anger on this matter. (as if it's not obvious)
I am furious. At the weak Spurs play. And at our balls as fans.
I am not going anywhere, and I careless what people think of me personally. I will be here in another 3 years as well.
I played ball this morning at the gym with a couple Hornets fans. I had my TD USA jersey on. We discussed the game, I admitted how we just play flat and sucked. They admitted Crawford or in his words "the little bald ref" has something against ya'll. And when I told him about Duncan last year being thrown out for laughing he didn't even know anything about that.
So it's clear. And I'm not going to sit quietly and not say something when there is a place to.
Stop playing like a pussy to the Spurs. And to the fans accept last night was a miserable to watch and the calls were the same, getting whipped or not.
I'm not reading the rest of your post you ing re . Try reading the topic, its point. I said in the post, the reffing is not why we lost. We sucked! I know this! So the calls were bull regardless. What difference does that make to a Hornets fan?
stupid stupid stupid ing stupid READ
I read your post, however long winded, you basically blame the refs.
You don't have to say you read mine but you did.
Here is a list of games that Joey Crawfod has worked in the playoffs since '01 involving San Antonio. Our record with him is 11-4. Either he fell out of love with us after '05 or things are just evening out a bit.

there ya go..
Then if you read the post, you have no excuse for being re ed in your reply. San Antonio played like , and to top it off, the calls all game were . So I am blaming the refs?
Seriously, go climb a tree during the next thunderstorm. Ignorant fella.
*and no I did not read the rest of your post kid. Damn. If I did I would not have said I didn't? The is wrong with you?
Then piss off dude.
That is so odd man. What the happened there? He literally must have got tired of us or something? Wowwww
We're at 50%....where's the conspiracy? (since our first loss of 2005)
I don't have to waste time with you, your fellow fans seem to agree with you.
I wanted to say that Arkansas had a lot of calls go there way last year, but you don't hear about it because we went on to win it all, only loser complain about the refs costing them the game.
thats it......re .
I suppose it would be "whining" if I pointed out that in the last 4 playoff games with Crawford as the ref, we have shot 35 fewer free throws than our opponents have. And that's with one game being relatively equal.
Sounds a lot like game 4 except teams were flip floppedHornets were allowed to play rough, hard and aggressive. And the Spurs were not.
+1
Ticky tacks on the visitors to please the home crowd, "contact is just good defense" for the team in white.
i don't... i don't think it was the refs bailing the nets out at all. i think it was the spurs bailing the nets out. why? who the knows why cause i surely don't. sure crawford is a y little bas with a chip on his shoulders when he is officiating the spurs but he didn't bring the spurs down to a double digit loss. we gotta make shots, we gotta play hard, we gotta make stops, and we gotta get the job done or else we're ed! that's it.your fellow fans seem to agree with you.
stop whining, stop ing, stop the bs already all you "fans". get your heads out of your asses and just root your spurs on!
If you want to about a ref, Eddie F. Rush is a good place to start. Our record since '01 in the playoffs when he works is 7-13. Think about that for a second.
And even though we won 3 out of 4 last year with him, if you recall, TD was very upset about the non-calls he was getting in the Denver game.

Did you actually WATCH the game last night? And he is right, Crawford should not be allowed within ten miles of a Spurs game (much less a playoff game). They beat Tony up so badly, he stopped driving the lane. Can you blame him? It seems like hurting out point guard on every drive is the only way to stop him, huh? But the NBA got what it wanted... the cinderella team on it's way to the finals. Makes for good TV doesn't it? (read revenue) I'm also sick of the press talking about Chris Paul.They have their tongue so far up his ass they could tell you what he had for lunch yesterday. He's good, but not the second comming of the Almighty.http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...8&sportCat=nba Again, he's good. But a miracle? Please. I realize the league needs heros but that's laughable. Laughable. As in "HA HA".
Games 6 and 7 will be interesting to say the least but expect another exercise in frustration from the officiating crew.
