intentional fouls + dribble penetrations.![]()
Spurs were the aggressors (and 8 freebee shots were for Bowen or Nash's inane fouling in the last 30 seconds) but it was noted by TNT they get to the line less than any team in basketball - how do you justify that with Parker going to the rim, Duncan playing inside etc. Simply put you do not, Spurs often shafted by NBA refs.
By the way expect Portland to do it usual late season fade about now.
shouldn't you be worrying about the state of your salary cap?
he has been more busy attention whoring with endless Oden thread's instead of feedING the sticky official one he has on the basketball forum...![]()

You are one special kind of stupid.
Are they passing the hat for D. Miles' salary in Portland?
7 off intentional fouls, 3 off techs. do you even watch basketball? minus those, and its only a +9 ft differential.
that has got to hurt![]()
And he also forgets to mention Manu getting in the paint at will. I love it when people act like free throws are a gift from god and if one team has more than the other, it's the ref's fault.
Thank you!!

44 free throws and I still have plenty to about. The Spurs didn't get ENOUGH calls. Until Duncan's technical, they were getting screwed.
Calls missed on both ends. Overall neither team could pull the bad officiating card if they lost, maybe one team got slightly more calls than the other, but nothing significant. Suns just played D that bad.
tlong should start watching games. The Suns spotted the Spurs literally about 20 free throws off intentional fouls and technicals.
You won and you still about officiating.
The officiating was bad for both teams. In the 1st half, it worked to the Suns favor, because not a lot of fouls were being called and the tempo didn't let up. In the 2nd half, it was in the Spurs favor, because a lot of fouls (I mean ones that weren't designated by Porter) were being called and it slowed the game down.
Officiating in general has been laughable this year.
OWNED BY A SUNS FAN ROFLCOPTER
The Spurs are averaging 28.3 free throws in the last six games. Take out the Laker blowout and it's 30.8. Hopefully this trend continues . . .
Not coincidentally, it's only been in the last seven games that Manu has had three games with > 10 FTA (his only such ones of the year).
I will give a thanks to the Sun's defense on Manu though because of it I know my fantasy team is winning free throw % this week.
I didn't win anything, thanks. And whether or not a team wins has little to do with the quality of the calls. You might search for how often I blame losses on officiating before you make an idiotic statement like that.
Officiating hasn't been any worse than it's been before, but Duncan typically doesn't get calls, especially against Shaq (and you can't deny that). He actually started to get some after the technical, but the Suns were getting a lot of stupid touch fouls up to that point. The Suns crowd thinks any decision that doesn't go their way is automatically a bad call, and the refs finally stopped listening.
And if you want to blame someone for ing up the tempo of the game, talk to whoever decided to foul Bowen. The Spurs foul Shaq primarily to disrupt the tempo, and Porter did it for them. Notice the Spurs scored like ten straight points from the time it started.
Yeah, and so does every other crowd.
If it makes you feel better to convince yourself of that...
