Suns got screwed

[ata]

This rule sucks big time. It is way too subjective to be fair. On any close game anybody can find gesture from player which could be punished with technical faul.
Today there are Suns, tomorrow Spurs...

Rule sucks and should be canceled.

I thank ESPN for agreeing with me:

"With the news that players union president Billy Hunter might challenge the new technical foul guidelines, we haven't heard the last of these issues. At the very least, the league's enforcement must be made consistent. After all, just one T charged to Tim Duncan in the fourth quarter Wednesday night would have given Steve Nash a free throw and the Suns a win. But Whiny Tim was allowed to bicker without penalty, and the Spurs won in OT. "

I'm not gonna read through, so somebody might have mentioned it, BUT...

Glad to know someone is getting the raw end of the refs. Not just the mavs.

pff yes, because the Mavs are 0 for 4 on account of bad reffing

Not anymore

We still got bad calls too (Terry hit the floor hard going in for a layup)
and anyone with common sense should say to themselves..."How did he land like that without being fouled?"...Absolute joke this league...and then Avery es and they shoot for a technical. There were also bad calls that went against the Suns too. This is getting real old fast...at least we finally won.

Note to other Suns fans - let's give it up with the whiny complaining about the refs. It was just another regular season game anyway.

Personally, I don't think the Spurs will stand a chance against the Suns once they're fully up to speed. The Suns played like caca and still almost beat the Spurs. Of course, the Spurs aren't exactly in midseason form. But the point is that they're almost equally good right now, and that the Suns have a LOT more room for improvement.

So they had their best game this season. Doesn't say much - except to say that they've been waaaaay underperforming this season. The tide's already changing, and in another 10 games, the Suns are going to look really good.

Wait until the Suns finish integrating the pick-n-roll into their run-n-gun offense. Wait until the Suns get the lineup they built to beat the Spurs - Nash + Raja + Marion + Amare + KT into the lineup for longer than 30 seconds. Wait until Amare gets the rest of the rust off, and the rest of his confidence back. Wait until D'Antoni gets wise, and decides not to double-team off the opposing center.

Come May, the Spurs won't stand a chance. Not because the Spurs are not a great team, but because this year's Suns is going to be something special.

You maccaca

True.


I wish Phoenix had the letter 'D' so we could crack jokes on their ass.

These rules are BS and inconsistant. That one tech was not the reason the Spurs won though, it was more of Oberto stepping up. I do think the refs have to be more consistant though. They can't be unfair to people with bad reps (Sheed), everyone should be given a fresh start.

Bull . Rasheed made his bed by berating the officials for YEARS every chance he got. He has to do it better, and so far he isn't even making an effort.

Anyone with PVR would rewind and say to themselves, "How could Terry go in leading with his knee and kick the defender to the ground and not be called for a foul?"

Speaking of getting real old...one thing that never seems to change is that the Mavs and Suns always have an excuse for being losers that centers on someone other than themselves.
