Dears Spurs, Pop, coaching staff,
Please guys, ignore those f****** pawns and play the game.
Whenever you guys play a contender team, don't expect the refs to help you. Man up, stay focused and play the damn game. We never get "gifts" from these penguins unless it's against a team like the Kings or the Clippers. It's been this way since 1999 so why should it change now? Box em out of your minds and come together as a team, the "Spurs" way.
George Hill is mentally tough and I'm proud of the kid. He takes the anger and turns it into toughness and tenacity instead of dropping his shoulders and asking the ref to bail him out. The veterans can learn something from GH, even the coaches. Keep ballin young gun.
good better best

The players spent time complaining yesterday during the game. Didn't bother me since the refs were pretty damn bad. Missed calls on both teams and very inconsistent.
This isn't anything new though, our players and Pop have been complainers for a while now, especially Duncan..it didn't affect our le wins..
not once has pop every blamed the refs or pointed the finger at the refs in the postgame.. if you want some of that action go look at phil jackson. so i dont understand what your seeing there.
yes pop might get on the refs during the game but hes just trying to protect his players and maybe get to the line next possession...
same as for duncan.. just trying to get a call. i wish he would do it less also but seeing dirk getting rubbed on a layup has to make him frusturated he cant get a fn call on the block
They don't complain off the court, I admire that..they all complain a lot on the court though, everybody knows that..
Duncan is the king of letting the refs get to him..
I'm not complaining about it, I'm just saying, this isn't something new..it has nothing to do with the struggles..
Duncan whine? Never.
The only time that it ever bugs me is when they are to busy arguing with the ref that they don't go down and play defense. Certain players tend to do this sometimes more then some on this team, not naming names lol
what is the ING DEAL with the refs and Matt Bonner?!?!? there has got to be some kind of vendetta or conspiracy there, I am continually blown away at how whistle happy they are towards Bonner
Spurs can complain about refs even when they have the overall FT advantage (as they usually do, and as they did again last night)
seems to be quite a sense of en lement with this franchise
That's my biggest issue with Duncan and whining. I really don't care that he whines, as long as it doesn't get in his game. Sometimes when he gets pissed it can be a good thing for his game, but other times he lets it distract him.
I also admire that they don't often whine to the media. Keep it on the court and in the locker room.
I thought until OT last night the refs werent too bad. Then every call seemed to go to Dallas aka Dirk
Duncan is going down as the greatest PF of all time... But he may go down as one of the biggest whiners in NBA history.
Most of the great players whine, it does get annoying..Duncan and Kobe are probably the biggest complainers in the NBA, and they're the 2 best of this generation..
No, no. Don't get me wrong.
I agree 100% with the complaints that the players have. I agree 100% that Pop does these things to protect his players and to show support for his players who are playing hard. They just needn't affect their mindset and focus because it's an uphill battle.
What I am trying to say is: We already know the agenda on nights like last night. Dirk is going to get every call, and the guys defending him are going to be whistled. What else is new?
So on nights like that, I wish they would just acknowledge that fact, bite the tongue and use it as fuel to play even harder. No need to be angered and frustrated by things that are pre-destined. However, our guys can look destiny in the face by playing through it and coming together as a team to defy these types of odds, like they've done in the past. It's one of the main reasons I'm a Spurs fan.
if not for the Spurs' customary FT attempt advantage, they wouldnt have made it to OT
The Nuggets got owned by the refs when they faced the Spurs in the playoffs one year. It was horrible, but sometimes you get the whistle and sometimes you don't.
it all depends on who you ask
Dirk shot 1 FT in OT, other than the 2 at the end after the intentional foul with <5 seconds to go.
You mean the series where Kmart and Nene practically jumped and bullied Timmy? I remember that. The Nuggets were so physical that it awoken an otherwise reserved Spurs team. When the Spurs decided to give em some of thier own medicine they couldn't take it.The Nuggets got owned by the refs when they faced the Spurs in the playoffs one year.

I thank the Nuggets for that because it made the rest of the playoffs vs Utah and Cleveland pretty easy.
It depends on who you ask...it can be weird at times.
OVERALL the Refs seem pretty bad this year...IMO.

I remember the Nuggets going gangsta on Manu and they still couldn't stop him.
Matt Bonner is a not-too-coordinated unathletic white guy playing in a league that does not promote or cater to his type, rather the league caters to the athletic black athlete that can dunk a basketball.what is the ING DEAL with the refs and Matt Bonner?!?!? there has got to be some kind of vendetta or conspiracy there, I am continually blown away at how whistle happy they are towards Bonner
This influence starts at the top with David Stern and trickles down to the guys who do his dirty work (the refs).
It didn't used to be this way, but over the course of the last decade it has become a regular occurence to see white players in general (like Matt Bonner) get hosed over and over again.
I still enjoy watching but if the trend continues here will come a point when I will have to stop.
The majority of fans do not want to see not too coordinated unathletic white guys on the basketball court.
