Might as well not even watch the game if this is how the refs are going to call the game.

The Spurs are true to form for game 3, suck it hard. I guess we have to wait until game 5 folks for them to show up.

[Infamous]

obviously the home team gets all the love..just deal with it.

James gets away with an elbow and they call Duncan for a weak hook in the lane.

Duncan broke a rule that's a point of emphasis. He knows he did it.

Spurs small ball is le kryptonite

[milkyway21]

put Parker back in Pop

Duncan broke a rule that's a point of emphasis. He knows he did it.

So elbows to the face aren't a point of emphasis?

[phxspurfan]

They called that type of on TD

thats coz td is much taller than other players or get his hands higher. hes also not a 'global icon'

Refs aren't killing the Spurs. Stupid shots, lack of rebounding, poor defense and energy are what are killing the Spurs. Most of those fouls have been legit.

I just checked in late in the first quarter and I've seen a handful of ref blunders already.

But it's true that that's is not what is costing the spurs. They are a lot slower than they were in game 1-2. That's leading to the poor defense, rebouding like you mentioned

Manu looks out of it.

Spurs are sleepwalking through this game, and it better change or they could get blown out in this one.

2nd.

Amazing the Spurs aren't down by 10+ right now.

umm their kinds close.

Your ignorant ass must have missed the second foul called on Duncan.

Duncan hooked him from the post. That's a clear foul. If they were in a hurry to ring Timmy up they'd have gotten him for swatting at Verejao on the other end just before it.

Spurs are killing themselves with missed FT's and lack of rebounding:

[duncanchick21]

2 fouls on James

findoggggggggggg

Stop ing about the refs. It hasn't been that bad. What's been bad here is the Spurs play.

[CubanMustGo]

Yea Fin!

2 PFs on Bron now, too.

[hitmanyr2k]

The refs called Duncan for a hook....so what? That little shot Bowen took wasn't enough to knock him down let alone put him on the ground for 5 seconds It was obviously a flop.

So elbows to the face aren't a point of emphasis?

Um, since it's the second hardest elbow Lebron has thrown in the last two games, what do you think?

[baseline bum]

I don't care if he hit it, Finley should never turn his back to the basket. That was a horrible shot.

[phxspurfan]

james has 2 fouls? WTF why hasnt manu been attacking all quarter?

[Spurs Brazil]

Wtf????

[peskypesky]

Methinks some Spurs want to win the le at home in game 6.

[Obstructed_View]

Elson fouls with 1 second on the shot clock. Way to go.

[Spurs Brazil]
