Maybe not all of them have a bias? Most of the media and anlysists predicted a Spurs win in the series.
What surprised me more was the bias of most of ESPN's and NBATV's analysists. They were saying that the refs screwed the Suns over and that they should have won. Two of them were even yelling like to angry fans. Also, they said that the Suns definitely would have won if Nash hadn't had to go out. I might be wrong, but aren't TV analysists supposed to be unbiased?

I was on the Sporting News blog today, comments like these are a plenty:
"Horrible Officiating. Plain and simple. Like D'antoni said it changed the complexion of the game. Nash is one of the toughest guys in the league. Takes a shot to the nose and doesn't flinch while Tony Parker drops like a sack of potatoes. Bloody tough game to lose. "
"The collision between Nash and Parker summed up what I think of the Spurs. Nash seriously gashes his nose (may have broken it) and takes it like a man, meanwhile, little Frenchie gets a bump on his head and rolls around on the court like he got shot! Could you have imagined if it was Ginobli instead of Parker? NBA is worsened by babies and they all seem to play on the Spurs. I hope the Suns come back and win this so that I can enjoy an NBA game and not have to worry about one-sided officiating (which the Spurs always seem to be the benefactor of) and little girls crying every ten seconds. Nash is the man! "
"the only reason the Spurs won was because of CRAPPY officiating, like usual, and Nash having to sit out the last minute or so. If those things hadn't happened, the Suns would have won. "
"Last year Miami benifited from the "breathe on Wade" fouls and won the championship. Now Duncan is getting them. Since when is throwing down a defender a foul on the defender? It is when you are Tim Duncan. Amare's 2nd and 3rd fouls were absolute jokes. The technical on the Suns' assistant was a phantom call, and the foul on Barbossa at the end was laughable. Parker shoved him and tripped yet that is apparently a foul on Barbossa."
theres plenty more but I don't want anyone to lose their dindin.
See that is one of the reasons why I was surprised-most picked the Spurs, yet when they won, they acted like it wasn't because they were good. Just didn't make sense to me.
I don't know who posted that, but I'm farely certain Bell would have milked such for all it was worth as well. Whether or not it hurt as bad as he made it seem, I saw the knot. Their heads hit hard, so I don't fault him for taking a minute or two to regain his bearings.I was on the Sporting News blog today, comments like these are a plenty:

I'll clue you in on a little secret. Sometimes, and it is only sometimes, fans speaking on a message board speak out of their *ignorance*...
I thought the calls were incredibly inconsistent in the game. The Suns benefitted from many of the calls at the beginning part of the 4th, and the Spurs benefitted from the many calls at the end of the game, it pretty much balances out.
Oh, and anyone who questions Barbosa's foul on Parker at the end of the game, or the requirement of Nash on the bench with blood all over the place simply does not know the rules of the game.
Now you know why Laker fans far and wide are rooting for your fine squad to dispatch those whiny bee-yatches.
D'Antoni and Bell are particularly annoying to this observer.
Thanks for the insight, but I already know that. Its a no-brainer. Lots of "Frenchie" bashing though. As if Steve Nash is a tough "American". He's a Canadian dumb asses.
You knowing it was the point of the thread. Whomever posted what you quoted not knowing was as well...Thanks for the insight, but I already know that. Its a no-brainer. Lots of "Frenchie" bashing though. As if Steve Nash is a tough "American". He's a Canadian dumb asses.
It shows some fans are smart, most are ignorant, others dumb.
Sometimes we all have are bouts with the three, but every team has it's "ignore listers" ... if that guys other posts are as bad as that one, then I'm sure he's one of the Suns' ...
Yeah... we're not really moaning. It's pretty much just one call (Amare's 3rd at the end of the half) that we've all complained about. But yeah, Parker wasn't getting too many whistles when he drove to the hoop, and like Nash didn't get a call on that layup at the end before the blood became too much (I couldn't really tell - but Nash was adamant that he got pushed).
Both teams were getting mugged at points... it's the playoffs, so that happens... and it's no surprise that one side thinks it was getting the short end of the stick more than the other. Suns did have more PFs... but they also were fouling more late in the game. Personally, I'm more angry at Barbosa for jacking up that dumb 3, then fouling Parker, and finally at Amare not going strong enough at the end and just looking for a call.
They ran around with their heads cut off without Nash on the court and it cost them the game... or at least a chance to send it to OT.
