You're right -- there shouldn't have been a game 7. There shouldn't even have been a Game 6. But the Kings blew a 20 point lead and failed to rebound with two hands in Game 4.
God ing Dammit!!!1 We're the Spurs we deserved those calls!!!!
^that is telling, but i always hate it whenever people post raw ft count or raw foul totals to say one team got more calls than the other. the nba will many times start evening up the foul tally in the closing minutes with some cheap fouls in order to even up the disparity..even though the game has already been decided. that's why you can't just look at the raw numbers, they do this all the time.
Hey Justin, do you wanna hear my favorite Tommy Nunez story?
So glad you asked!
My favorite Tommy Nunez story is from the 2007 playoffs when the San Antonio Spurs were able to get past the Phoenix Suns in the second round. Of course, what many fans didn't know was that Phoenix had someone working against them behind the scenes. Nunez was the group supervisor for that playoff series, and he definitely had a rooting interest.
Nunez loved the Hispanic community in San Antonio and had a lot of friends there. He had been a referee for 30 years and loved being on the road; in fact, he said that the whole reason he had become a group supervisor was to keep getting out of the house. So Nunez wanted to come back to San Antonio for the conference finals. Plus, he, like many other referees, disliked Suns owner Robert Sarver for the way he treated officials. Both of these things came into play when he prepared the referees for the games in the staff meetings. I remember laughing with him and saying, "You would love to keep coming back here." He was pointing out everything that Phoenix was able to get away with and never once told us to look for anything in regard to San Antonio. Nunez should have a championship ring on his finger.
Wow......really bro?
I just get back from masturbating to my naked Rick Santorum poster and i have to read this ?...........Why should anyone believe a convicted felon anyway?.......Donaghy is an idiot plain and simple
What are your thoughts on bresilhac?
idk but the Lakers les are rigged.
Donaghy said so
lol ambchang's gorilla fetish
isn't ambwang the one who denies hakeem's greatness over big ty?
C'mon man. I've heard people say Duncan got fouled. I've never heard anyone say Dirk didn't.
The three plays that stick out for me in that series....
1. Duncan fouling out when Dirk stepped on his foot and Duncan is backing away. Please explain this to any basketball fan.
2. Bowen getting called for a ticky tack foul on dirk and putting him at the line late in the game when they're supposed to let them play. Just like they let the Duncan foul go at the end of regulation in game 7 which btw I don't have a problem with. But why let that one go and call one on bowen 18 ft from the basket that puts Dirk at the line with seconds to go? Dirk wasn't even shooting, he was just flailing his arms and hair everywhere.
3. Terry jumping sideways and backwards into Manu after he had already drove past him. I forget which game it was but it was late in the 4th in Dallas. Should have been a no call. You can't reward a guy that makes that kind of motion. It was nowhere near a normal basketball play.
Bad calls happen and I can deal with them. But sometimes you get some that just really make you scratch your head.
I think we can all agree that nba PRIFESSIONAL refs are by far the worst refs/umps in pro sports. Is stern to blame?
if you're talking about the play where bowen came all the way across dirk's entire body and got a little ball in the process, it was a foul. you can't do that.

Another angle. Spur fan has always cried about that like it was some kind of a clean block just because he got ball whenever it's just laughable. Came across his body to hip check him in mid air and got him on the off arm in the process.

that wasn't even called a foul. I remember that was the game saving block in game 5 I believe.
Predictably, there was a semen cloud over San Antonio until the series was over. Although it was a nice play by Bowen![]()
Some mavs fan you are if that's the way you remember it. They didn't call a foul on the play in your picture. And you got that one back with the no call on Duncan. And thanks for helping me prove my point. Why let stuff like that go in late games, but call a foul on Bowen late in game 3 or 4 in Dallas that puts Dirk on the line when he's not shooting and is 18 ft from the basket?
Tbh I originally wanted SA to win but after seeing the hurricane upstairs this past week ("spurs in 4!") I may root OKC now just to troll gnsf when they lose
you'll have to excuse me for not having a savant's memory like you do, that was 6 years ago. but if bowen got away with THAT atrocity, then the foul on Duncan was well deserved.
Yes Dallas got a few calls that went their way. However, I can't even count how many times Duncan got bail out/ticky tack calls over the Dallas big men that Spurfans turn a blind eye too
I was much more pissed at the treatment Duncan got in our series win than Wade got later in the Finals. Dallas just happened to win so nobody really remembers
^no trust me i remember, but there is no use complaining about it after we won. that series is when i started hating duncan and realized he was as good as he was because he got a lot of ticky tac bull
For not remembering to well it took you 2 seconds to post that picture.
And Spurs fan felt the same way about Dirk being good cuz he got ticky tack fouls. To each his own.
For me, that series was big punch to the gut as a Spurs fan. But we rang again in '07 so all's well that ends well.
Cool.
but i don't see how any Spurfan can say they got screwed in that series.
