Blazers didn't get into the playoffs, they got let in by a Carmelo injury.
all you have to do is bump the Lakers vs Hornets game in the basketball thread to see how much Faker fans cry about officials when there team loses.

easily the worst officiated game of the season, but we had our chances to win. This was a pretty bad loss.
no more dwight until next season
The officiating was atrocious tonight, definitely had a major factor in this game. Also, that was about the best 3pt shooting I have seen against the Spurs this year. The Magic deserve alot of credit for making so many difficult shots. All this said, I think this game again shows how much we need another big to be able to try and guard bigs (like Howard) straight up. All the double teams and poor rotations are what caused the threes to be available.
lol thaz the funniest I've heard. But have u fuking even looked at the game?
Well I haven't complained about a ref in over a year, and it's been longer than that since I called anyone an ignorant sucker. I guess I have to re-set both clocks tonight, because you're an ignorant sucker.
That was the single worst call of the whole game. It was even harder to excuse because there were no other players in the way to obscure the refs vision. If anybody's reputation was responsible for that call, it was Howard's. That's not Howard's fault, it's the ref's. Even Howard knew he got by with one on that play. You may be the only person who watched the game to think otherwise.
Ignorant for sure... I'm just guessing about the sucker part. If you really had a lot of old friends here, I guess we could ask them.
Worst officiating this season. Haven't been this pissed about refs in a while. But Spurs defense is what lost it. We are no where near our potential, so wasn't too bad of a loss.
LOL Ginobili was set SECONDS before Howard even made a move, that's how ridiculous that call was..there's no possible way somebody could make an argument that it wasn't an offensive foul..
I can't get over this loss, because the refs took away a big win from us..it's ridiculous..
Actually Mexican Junior,
This is the team they are going with. There isn't another quality big they can get unless they trade one of the Big 3 and that ain't happening.
This game showed me a lot more in a loss tonight against a good team.
Spurs shot 50% from the field and Orlando shot 48.6% from the field.
Spurs outrebounded Orlando 38-33 and both teams had 6 offensive rebounds.
Spurs had 11 turnovers and Orlando had 13 turnovers.
The Spurs made 100% (17-17) in free throws and Orlando made 86% in their FTs.
The difference is the game was the three point shooting. Orlando made 14 of 22 three pointers and the Spurs made 3 of 13.
Orlando did a good job closing out on the Spurs 3 pt. shooters and the Spurs played terrible 3 pt. defense.
Also, KT played well and hit open jumpers on the pick-n-pop play. That's a good sign. Also, I believe that Mason and Bonner needed more opportunities for shots.
The Spurs will have to work on their 3 pt. defense and they will be ready for Wednesday night.
Refs were just a little more bad than Pop's coaching tonight.
the refs for this game..that's all
LOL @ Orlando fans popping out of nowhere "defending" the bull officiating tonight.

Wonder what Duncan was thinking there?
If that is true, it is definitely a shame since quality bigs are what this team will face if they are still competing in May/June. I think a decent defensive big could be had without giving up one of the big 3. I'm not asking for guys like Amare, Chandler, Camby...I just think we could use someone that could give us good minutes in the paint like Theo Ratliff, Aaron Gray, Charlie Villanueva, etc...
too bigWonder what Duncan was thinking there?
this kid seems pretty happy for a guy with absolutely no game outside of 2 feet from the rim...Wonder what Duncan was thinking there?
Whoever brought up individual FT shooting for a team is stupid. You guys intentionally fouled for like 6 FT's... which means you guys actually had the FT advantage unti the last two minutes.
Duncan pushed off on it, deal with it.. no matter how small a push it was it still ended up with Duncan getting the rebound. If he didn't, Dwight probably would have got it. Dwight's got called for that before.
The Turk/Bowen foul was bad I admit, and my stream buffered when Shard was fouled but even the smallest fouls on the 3 pointer get called so I wouldnt be surprised if it was just a tap.
And never reached the finals. And never won an mvp. And...
Mexican Junior,
If we can get one of the bigs....I'm all for it. But ST posters keep asking for something...that isn't there. I feel this is the team the Spurs are going with unless something falls into their lap.
But out of those three...I would only take Theo Ratliff because of his shot-blocking ability. Gray is too slow and Villanueva isn't defensive-minded enough.
Also, I saw KT played well tonight and him making those pick-n-pop jumpers were nice to see and he will help the team as the season goes along and into the playoffs.
Yeah, Gray would leave you longing for the footspeed of Kurt Thomas and Villanueva would have to improve his defense to even be as good as Bonner on that end of the court.
this one
The duncan call was very ticky tack. The ref should let them bang. Horrible call. I am fine if calls like that for both ends. Shard (ha ha) yeah Rashard didn't get touched. Bonner hit the ball on the way up, horrible call. Manu's travel was a bad call too. I haven't seen this bad in a long ass time. I haven't Spurs crowd react like that in a while either.
Magic did to Spurs what Spurs usually do to their opponents. Magic shooters made Spurs pay for doubleteaming Howard or were slow in rotating defensively. As for the refs. yeah a number of calls appeared to be very questionnable.. for once I'd like to see what goes on in post-game sessions when refs critique their performances. I wish there was some score that the league would publish on each referee's performance throughout the season. If only for the sake of transparencey specially after the ref scandal last year. Fans would love it.
4 rings.
Mavs choke.
lol, Kings.
Got that out of the way.
Stop crying you ing assholes.
