For everyone complaining about the refs...

rationalize all you want

I'd recommend you quit watching NBA basketball if you truly believe all of this conspiracy crap. I don't see the point in even watching.

I'm seriously considering it. Sad that I'd have to abandon my favorite team in order to do so, though. Very sad if you are unable to acknowledge that the last two games were fixed and officiating affected the outcome. Very sad.

Thunder were the better team in this series

SA was just gassed in the 4Q. They were playing sloppy and opening themselves up to the whistle. Couple of bad calls, but I don't subscribe to the conspiracy BS. SA just flat out didn't have the wind in their sails in the 2nd half.

I agree

The Spurs are not good for ratings. It is the same old core team the fans have seen before to most casual NBA fan. They have also won before with the same core so there is no new champion team underdog interest like OK City will draw.

OK City is the new kid on the block with rising stars. Much more interesting and better for ratings for the casual fan.

I hear ya, and I agree. Refs suck, NBA is rigged, durrant LeBron is finals ratings heaven, etc.

But spurs should have and needed to overcome the refs. They did it 4 times before. NBA didn't want spurs in any of those finals. Spurs were just good enough to overcome the stern cronies. It's sad and unfair but its reality in todays NBA; if you don't have a huge marketable superstar, your team is gonna have to win a few games 5 vs 8 on the court. You gotta be that much better than the other team, and spurs weren't this series. Can't blame them for it. Can't really blame okc for it either.

grow a pair you ing got

The Spurs were just passing the ball around the perimeter looking for open shots or parker taking it to the basket. On the defensive side there was only Duncan underneath battling two or three players.

Duncan had no help on the inside and that is a result of the Spurs fo not addressing the frontline like many of us have said all year. Bonner and Diaw are not a frontline players and Splitter was a bust in this series,Pop lost confidence in playing him.

The better team won and had nothing to do with the refs. Jackson was taunting the OK Bench on more than one occasion.

Like I said in a previous thread, spurs were unimpeded in previous le runs cause there were no superstar teams in each conference to pair in the finals. If sterns did this every year then people would catch on. Don't be blind dude, you know this doesn't happen every year, makes you sound like a homer to say league tried to screw them like this in every championship run of theirs

Fair take

[Spurs da champs]

Spurs choked game away, its as simple that. Again did they give a thunder a 18pt free throw?

[spurs10]

18-24

Try 18-31.....big difference.
18-24 and the Spurs were likely winning.
