duncan gets absolutely manhandled, ginobili gets a black eye, parker molested everytime to the basket, and the spurs got the majority of the calls
you people are too much
I thought there were a couple of calls Nash didn't get that were a little harsh, otherwise it was pretty even.
How many times did Manu get killed with no call? Tony?
Even if you say we got the calls tonight, that evens it up from game 2 then, when we were the ones who were ED OVER.

The Spurs are at home. I expect the home team to get some calls. The officiating doesn't really affect the outcome of the game as much as a lot of folks on here wish it did. Anybody that wants to see a player taken out by biased officials needs to watch the olympics.
There is this play that I thought Duncan was wearing a tight little shorts.. Thomas raped Duncan the whole time!
O yeah Bowen did that on purpose!![]()

Have to agree with ALVAREZ's big post on page 2 of this thread too.
The call that pisses me off the most these days is the charge/block call. They now call it so that the defender can virtually step under the offensive player and get the call, and that's BULL . Like today, referring to the block that was called on Nash but the commentators were saying "that's close to a charge", bull it was - he was still moving and got there about 0.000000001s before Duncan did, which means it's a block. WTF, seriously.
how are the kings doing on their series... oh ... never mind.
I'm really surprised that they called that Nash block correctly. If a guy is falling as he sets his feet, he's going down whether anyone hits him or not. They usually are too busy looking to see if he was outside the circle to notice anything else. Mike Breen is exactly right that a guy doesn't have to have his feet set in order to establish position. Taking a charge isn't really a high percentage play because you are forcing the officials to make a decision, and it's usually a coin-flip as to what they will decide. Duncan tried that against Dirk last year at the end of the game and paid the price for it.
i like seeing the kings fans out tonight...how's brad miller doing?
Shouldn't you be concentrating on the lottery? We're still playing, you're not, go away.
Who cares, you know, if the refs have their own agenda, then you have to play through it. I love how teams call out other teams when they suspect bad reffing, as if the teams would actually pay off the refs. And we all know Stern hates small market San Antonio, so I see no reason why it would be rigged in that way either.
I learned a long time ago that you just have to play through it. When the Spurs are on the road, I expect them to step up big time to overcome the usual favorable calls to the home team.
Where was all the talk of grave injustice when Stoudemire had 20 fouls in the 5-game first round series with the Lakers?![]()
Eh, the Spurs got some calls tonight. Probably had a 60-40 advantage in calls going their way.
But that's part of playoff basketball. You just hope that it all evens out in the end.
And yeah, the Spurs still deserve some evening out from the basketball gods after the travesty we saw in Game 3 of the second round last year. This was nothing compared to that. If Stoudemire where to pick up fouls for Duncan stepping on his foot, then we can talk.
This is getting old. Put in something new on the table.![]()
We win. Suns lose. Kobe's Lakers is out of the playoffs. You are pwned.
I can't believe how all these Spurs fans say Amare and D'Antoni are babies. Duncan is the biggest baby in the league! Every time he commits a foul he glares at the refs as if he is trying to melt them with his eyes. This game was so poorly officiated. Bowen is in the same class with Tonya Harding and Johnny (from the Karate Kid "sweep the leg"). Just a dirty, dirty, player that has no business being in the NBA. Spurs fans that don't admit that he is trash are trash themselves.
If the Suns were such a great team they'd figure a way to beat the Spurs at their own game instead of crying about "dirty play".
Apparently Bowen is the only "dirty" player that ever existed. Because it's so obvious that the Suns play with such class and dignity.

I think that Bowen needs to get his reflexes fixed. His legs seem to randomly fly out in a kicking motion whenever there's a chance to cheapshot a Suns player. I'd get that checked out if I were him.

..........says the guy that has been here for a less amount of time than me.
Most of the "knowledgeable" Spurs fans here can see how they had calls in their favor tonight. I'm not saying anything was rigged, at all. But having Amare only play 19 minutes because of some questionable calls is definitely in your favor. All I'm saying is let everyone play, these are the playoffs, and ticky tac fouls are lame.
Total Personal fouls game 3:
Suns 24
Spurs 22
Yep, really one sided
The Suns wanted the refs to watch the Spurs closer, but failed to recognize that they would also be watching the Suns closer too. Careful what you wish for.
You are full of . Manu has quite a lump under his eye ..... that did not get a foul called on it.
Stop crying .

Again, the number of fouls called does not make a damn bit of difference. If one team commits twice as many fouls as the other, but the officials call the same number of fouls on both teams, is that a fairly officiated game? The Spurs are somewhere near the bottom of the league in fouls committed per game.
It's amazing how many Suns fans are here just to blame the officials when their team gets owned.
Here's the difference between Duncan and Amare and D'Antoni.
Few people would be willing to say Duncan doesn't complain to officials. Something Shaq does/did a lot too. Given how frequently they are manhandled in the post with no calls, I don't blame either of them. Timmy's gotten better this year about it. He still does it. But when the game is over, he's done. He doesn't continue to whine about fouls from three possessions ago, he doesn't pull the refs over or glare at them all night and he never mentions it in the press. His post conferences never talk about how they got screwed or how unfair X call was.
Meanwhile, Amare complains to the media and can still be found ing minutes after a call he didn't like.
D'Antoni flails more than Ginobili when the officiating doesn't go his way. Charming. In fact, D'Antoni was so concerned about the officials that after the knee to Nash, he left his player lying on the court to yell at the refs. That's Klassy.
