Spurs vs Suns Nov. 8th - Game Blog

[RC's Boss]

Yes, I am a Sun's fan. If I remeber correctly the Spurs did not go to the line much last year either. Nash was being bumped like a pin ball tonight and there were questionable offensive fouls on some of our guy's tonight. Mr. Floppy was out of bounds when he threw in the ball at one time and Duncan was on the out of bounds line one time and the refs did not call him out of bounds. Stuff like that adds up eventually. Yes we made stupid mistake at the end but it was a freethrow parade by the Spurs for the same type of fouls that the Spurs comitted on the Suns. We had quite a few points in the paint so that does not mean we just shot outside tonight. Admit it, you would not have been in the game except for the freethrows. Your team shot horribly tonight.

"Mr. Floppy" was not out of bounds. it was weird, but he somehow pushed back w/ his legs as he was falling backwards and passed it b4 falling out. I would suggest you get a DVR if you don't have one. And PHX drove thru the lane they don't play w/ their back to the baskets like TD. Tony drives the lane like your whole team, but hardly ever gets to the line check his stats. And he was flattened a few times tonight when he drove the lane as well w/ no call! Face, when it comes to SA, PHX is 9-2 since the last few years I believe. Just hope you avoid us this spring if you don't win your division.

To those just responding to my flopping questions, thanks and I'll try and answer tomarrow. I've got parent/teacher conferences tomarrow and must be getting up around 4 a.m. to finish some reviews, so I can't shoot the breeze any longer.

Do appreciate the reponses. Love talkin' hoops.

Also, forgive my double letters or funky type as I'm getting used to a new keyboard. Few things in life are as frustrating as retraining your fingers on how hard to push and how far to be spaced... damn it's annnoying!

Not sure what to say about this game. Just complete and utter bull . I don't know which play I liked more: Ginobili lying out of bounds tapping the ball in, or the 24 second shot clock violation that fouled Stoudemire out, or Nash's "charge" on Bown once the game was over. In my life I have never seen such a horrible charge call. Just horrible. 3 of Stoudemire's fouls were simply assinine. So many bad calls to choose from. It's a shame. Suns earned this game. They were the better team tonight. And anybody on this board who thinks the officials didn't give this game away to San Antonio is just kidding themselves. I'm not saying SA isn't good, I'm just saying the officials gave this to them. Man up and admit it.

I don't recall seeing Nash get bumped like a pinball. He made very nice drives and finished with both hands several times at the basket. He has a really nice game that really developed after he left Dallas and joined the Suns.

Smeagol,

Cry me a ing river yourself. Thats what you guys did last year when you lost to the Mavs for the same type of stuff. I would not exactly call the Spur that tough defensively this year. We still shot a high percentage and your team shot poorly. Free throws won you the game plain and simple!

Free throws have won plenty of NBA games for various teams. It's part of the game. If you look at the Duncan era Spurs track record you would see we don't have foul trouble too often b/c we defnd well.

[bball13]

RC's Boss, try not to be a complete jackass. Ginobili was out. Completely, and utterly out of bounds like nothing I have ever seen. Just admit the play was bull . You're not betraying your team by doing it. And yes I do have DVR. I watched it about 6 times laughing my ass off. It was simply putrid to not call that. Don't be a chump buddy. Admit the facts or get off the board.

People just keep making up screen names. Keep to one.

[bball13]

ahh yes. the people from texas with their conspiracy theories. yes, there is only one NBA fan on the planet who thinks this game wasn't given to SA. jackass.

I guess I'll be gay for the remainder of the evening and not "man up". Tony hit the floor a few times w/ no call. You can't get to the line if you have no post player or a Dirk on your team. Amare played well, but he's still not healthy so why would we expect them to have even ft shooting attempts between the 2 teams.

[bball13]

Amare wasn't allowed to play. The 24 second shot clock violation fouled him out. I want you to tell me that the three plays I mentioned weren't complete bull . Do you have the balls to actually speak the truth and be a fan at the same time? I don't think so.

[RC's Boss]

Admit the facts or get off the board.

I received phone calls from 3 friends that couldn't believe he was able to make that play and they saw he was inbounds so if that makes me one so be it...

[bball13]

...and by the way, Parker DID hit the floor a few times. But they weren't game changing plays. The plays I talked about were.

[bball13]

your friends are idiots. as fans you convince yourselves it was a great play rather than bull . ask any other fan who isn't a spurs fan (quick go start a profile pretending to be a heat fan)

[RC's Boss]

The shot clock play was bull just like the charge that should have been a blocking foul

[bball13]

there were two bull charges. one for each time. they negate each other. the shot clock play sent Amare out. BIG difference

[RC's Boss]

I don't pretend buddy. If I don't agree w/ you, you're not going to O.D. are jump off the roof of a scyscraper or you? Calm down little fella. I'm en led to my opinion.

[The sone]

great friggin game...that is all...

[BeerIsGood!]

Not sure what to say about this game. Just complete and utter bull . I don't know which play I liked more: Ginobili lying out of bounds tapping the ball in (he was inbounds - the only part of him touching the ground were his feet - which were inbounds), or the 24 second shot clock violation that fouled Stoudemire out (was a 24 sec. violation - refs missed that one), or Nash's "charge" on Bown once the game was over (the game was over - whether it was a charge or not had no effect on the game). In my life I have never seen such a horrible charge call. Just horrible. 3 of Stoudemire's fouls were simply assinine. So many bad calls to choose from. It's a shame. Suns earned this game. They were the better team tonight. And anybody on this board who thinks the officials didn't give this game away to San Antonio is just kidding themselves. I'm not saying SA isn't good, I'm just saying the officials gave this to them. Man up and admit it.

At least 3 times Parker was blatantly fouled going to the basket. There were missed calls on both sides. The fact is - if a team is up 9 pts. with 5 mintues left in the 4th and loses - it wasn't the refs that beat them. They ed up and couldn't get it done while the team that beat them rose up and won the game.

[bball13]

i love talking to people like you. i love it. you simply dont have it in you to admit the facts about those three calls. you cant do it. you are physically not capable of doing it. i love it! after a game like this, it actually makes me feel better to realize how much of an idiot some of the spurs fans are, and how little they know about basketball compared to me. im not saying the spurs suck. im not saying the suns are better. im simply saying those three calls were horrible and game changing. and you cant put aside your feelings for your team and admit it. thank you for that. by showing us all how biased you are, you forfeit your credibility.

[bball13]

beerisgood: we were up by 9. the 24 second thing cut it to 6. the 24 second thing took stoudemire (the high scorer at the time) out. at least you can partially admit this. to the others: don't tell me those plays didn't affect a game THAT WENT TO OVERTIME

[RC's Boss]

Uh, okay? On to the next thread.

[bball13]

off so soon? no explanation about how it makes perfect sense the Suns only had 6 free throws? id love to hear a mindless analysis of that from you as opposed to simply admitting the officiating was lopsided. can you grace us with that before you leave?

[bball13]

well, its too bad you left. but let me leave you all a present from long ago:

I least there is one Spur's fan that is not a total homer! Yes, I do have a DVR, Manu was still out of bounds on that play. Too bad most of you are not man or woman enough to admit the game was handed to you by some really bad calls!

[bball13]

Amen Nashfan. Amen.
