    I disagree. The refs are far too quick to give techs these days, and it's taken a lot of the passion out of the game.

    I miss the rough n tumble NBA of the early 90s where men were allowed to play like men.
    I wasn't asserting right or wrong in this situation. I was simply stating the way the officials are calling the game today.

    However, real men don't lose control of their emotions. It doesn't take a man to get jacked up and start screaming " you" at someone. If you need to be able to yell and scream and any time you don't get a call, you aren't playing with real passion anyway. Getting pissed and lobbing obscenities is just the sign of someone who hasn't have the intelligence to deal with the situation in a decent way.

    Similarly, if you have to hack someone to "play like a man", it just shows how much skill you lack.

    They haven't really played terrifically the last couple minutes.

    Granted they are up 22, but don't be sloppy. Plenty of time for a comeback.

    full of hate?? I'm thrilled the Spurs are playing well after the last two games. I just think with the way the game is going, the Nuggets could have gotten a break on that tech. Don't you?
    Would the Spurs have gotten a break? the answer is no

    You also said that Manu flops.
    you mean he doesn't? by the by, way to get the joke

    Officials aren't there to give a team a "break". It's simple. Respect the officials or you get a tech.
    Fine, is Najera insulted the dude's mother, maybe he deserved the tech, you happy now? I'm just saying it didn't look like tech worthy.

    We're up by 22, it should be safe to put him in.

    It is weird that he hasn't played - I know he was terrific against GSW, but I didn't think he sucked against the Lakers (but I didn't see the game - only one I've missed).

    he spent all his bullets in that 27pt-16rb game he had. he'll need at least a month to recharge.

    Unqeustionably his best game ever.

    The 11/11 Phoenix game was good, but, well, it was against Phoenix. Not that Denver plays much D, but at leat they have an interior presence.
    also a lot of his shots were more difficult to make, and from the outside and not easy putbacks and cuts

    Just his presence?

    He screwed around (as others did) on the 24 second violation/turnover. But he didn't throw the pass.

    And he just had a rebound and scored, so. . .

    Yeah, I wanted the Rockets to beat the Mavs. But really, is there a losing situation for Spurs fans?

    I hope they keep the lead big enough to let Duncan be done for the night.
    He played enough minutes to start to get his rhythm back.
    Let him ease back and not risk that ankle.

    Yeah, but I expect that of local announcers. At least they are willing to talk about a player playing badly or committing a foul and acknowledge when they've gotten away with stuff.

    They are homers, but way, way better than some.

    Sure, and I'm not saying that ing is a good thing, and I'm glad the NBA cleaned up the whining that went on in the early 2000s, but Najera didn't overly remonstrate and still got teched for it. Unnecessary.

    The man stuff I'm talking about is all the ticky tack fouls that get called today rather than saying no call and playing on. Remember the way the game was called in the early to mid 90s? Remember the Bad Boys and the Knicks and all those great games of the Jordan era? I think the officiating was well balanced back then. Today you breathe on someone and get called and it slows down the game and ruins it as a spectacle.
