the most pathetic thing about this suns fan is that he did this for a game where the suns actually won
he must really be the dumbest person to waste all that time on something so meaningless
I'm looking forward to the Spurs - Pistons series where the players and fans aren't a bunch of pussies.

Jesus Christ suns fans, I think the majority of us DO realize that nash was at the short end of a couple of calls, but how can you say that they also were heavily biased towards the spurs? Parker and Ginobili get hacked EVERY TIME they penetrate (see manu's black eye for further proof) and do not get all the calls. Kurt Thomas was freakn holdin Tim's jersey the entire game and yet no call. What more proof do you want? It's a physical game.
Your team is losing. Sorry we're not the Lakers or any of the other teams in the league that will let your MVP waltz his way through the lane.
After scanning through the articles again, I'm absolutely convinced that this is some sort of elaborate satire. There is no other way to explain it.
wrong series bro...piston fans and players are the worst. especially the players.
The fact that this pathetic piece of didn't once see this completely negates any hope of impartiality in every other word he wrote.

Granted I was at the at&t in the peasant seats, but it seemed to me that the questionable calls evened out.
I don't really care what Suns fans think about the refs. We won.
exactly.
The Spurs got away with some bumps on Nash, and the Suns got away with manhandling Duncan, knocking Parker to the floor everytime he went to the hole, Ginobili too, and they didn't get alot of shots out of it.
I mean think about it.
The amount of times Parker, Ginobili, Duncan, all of em, went to the hole, only 24 FTs?
Come on......
I'll admit that I'm in the same position and that I haven't watched the broadcast. But, from where I stood, it sure seemed like things were pretty even all night long. Nash couldn't get a call, but neither could Parker, despite ending up on the floor after multiple drives. Until Manu came up with a shiner, he couldn't get a call, either.
There might have been some iffiness on Amare's 4th (the offensive foul against Oberto) but I happened to watch Amare run the floor on that possession, saw Oberto get back and saw Amare body him up for position. If Oberto flopped, it was no different than Bell flopping early in the game to create a turnover. In any event, it was (again, from where I stood) the only questionable call on Amare all night. There was a touch foul on a Duncan layup/dunk, but (remarkably, I guess) Duncan got pegged with almost exactly the same call later in the game.
Officials are human -- they'll make some mistakes. I tend to think that, for the most part, NBA officials do care about their craft and want to get things right. Fortunately, for those who are willing to blame the outcome of games on officiating, there are mistakes made and things seem uneven from time-to-time. I'd argue that if you took a completely objective look, the perception of favoritism would erode because, in the end, about the same number of calls are missed both ways as a game progresses.
And, in the end, anyone who goes looking at officiating hoping to find some proof that the three officials are the cause of a team's loss (or a cause of a loss) are weak-minded fans. Make more baskets. Get more stops. Don't allow the officials to make a difference. It's what champions do.
I stopped reading when I noticed you didn't have any notations about Thomas hanging onto Duncan's jersey like he was in love with him.
Never, ever refer to like that as an article. Ever.
Wow...everyone on here that's pointing out the obvious bias in this guy's "analysis" portion is 100% correct...
I tried to see what he was saying, but after actually seeing the game film and verifying the first 2 plays on his "analysis" I said enough was enough...then proceeded to leave a huge comment that was much longer than I intended on his blog...haha
What surprises me even more are all the people in there saying "wow, hey man, great analysis...can you do this for all the games" or "DUDE! I saw the same thing 99% of the time! Wow, we now must be butt-buddies for life!"
Pretty pathetic, and not at all impartial. The authors a suns fans scratching for answers.
Manu Ginobili is called for a foul at the end of Game 7 on the Spurs' home court when the other team needs three to get to OT.
Where's "systematic desensitization" when you really need it?
Judging by the sample size of games (1), and then making a broad judgement by stating "it only proves how massive the edge is on a normal night" is hilarious.
I will assume that the author has never had the pleasure of doing any type of scientific research or statistics.
It's a wonder the author has enough synapses to be able to exhale after each breath.
Foul calls are about positioning. When you are in the correct defensive position (the spurs) you are less likely to get called for fouls than if you are out-of-position more often (the suns).
You want to know why Amare spends so much time in foul trouble? Because he is out of position the whole damn game.
Yeah, Suns fans think they would like the series called closer for guys like Bowen, but would they really? If the refs called every perceived foul that Suns fans think they see, then Tim Duncan would also foul out the entire Suns front line in the first quarter as well.
It's about the percentage and average!Manu Ginobili is called for a foul at the end of Game 7 on the Spurs' home court when the other team needs three to get to OT.

DUMB ASSES... all of you... the game where Kurt Thomas was holding Duncan's jersey was a complete different game than the one the author broke down. Now is it that you guys didn't read the entire post because you think it is "untrue" or is it that YOU CAN'T READ!

I read the whole post...and specifically verified (comparing his actual words with game film) a couple (literally a couple...and even that seemed like a waste of time) of his "foul call analysis."DUMB ASSES... all of you... the game where Kurt Thomas was holding Duncan's jersey was a complete different game than the one the author broke down. Now is it that you guys didn't read the entire post because you think it is "untrue" or is it that YOU CAN'T READ!

Thomas has been hanging onto Duncan all series (including game 2). Now, some of the people here are indeed talking about game 3, but a lot of what they're saying can easily be said about game 2 (or game 1).
He also found a couple of non calls in the pregame shoot around
I agree with this article. The Spurs have always gotten the best of it with the refs.
Oh, so you are saying he never grabbed Duncans jersey at all in the game the guy is talking about?DUMB ASSES... all of you... the game where Kurt Thomas was holding Duncan's jersey was a complete different game than the one the author broke down.
