I'm not one to believe conspiracy theories, but this game is starting to sway me in that direction. Pop needs to send a letter to the NBA over this one. Yes, the Spurs should have won this one easily, and they would have if they had hit a couple more shots, but that ending was, in a word, inexcusable...the refs deliberately ignored, and thus violated, the rules to ensure a Hornets victory. BTW, I believe the Spurs lost because there was $$$ on the line...someone would have won ONE MILLION DOLLARS tonight from ESPN if the Spurs had won. The call came down from on high, and the fix was in.
