Game 4 was terribly reffed. Spurs take ball to hoop, hard contact, no foul. Clippers take ball to hoop, light contact, immediate whistle. Normally it changes as the game moves along but the Clips got every reffing advantage yesterday.
Refs were bad all around. But I can't stand watching the Clippers throw their legs and arms out and get ing foul calls. I really wish someone would show CP3 what a true hard foul is.
And on the other end, Spurs going to the basket can't buy a call.
And all those calls on the defense when the offensive player jumps into him.
Plus, can you believe how bad Parker is!?!?!?!?!

SA shot 35 FTA to the Clippers 26. The teams were called for the same number of fouls. The difference is that the Clippers were extremely aggressive and got a lot of And-1 opportunities for their effort. The Spurs weren't as aggressive and mostly got 2 shot opportunities, and then didn't convert them. Nobody was in particular foul trouble while the game was truly in dispute, other than Chris Paul and maybe Matt Barnes, but the Spurs didn't do anything to take advantage of those things. And the officials didn't allow the Clippers to shoot 54%.
The Spurs lost because they didn't play with the same urgency that the Clippers did and were poor in a variety of ways, mostly on the defensive end -- though some of the offensive decision making was puzzling at times, too.
The officials -- and Tom Washington in particular -- didn't have a banner day. But blaming the officiating is weak.
^clips got and-1 a lot because the calls were soft. generally when someone is actually fouled they don't make the shot to boot.
Where did I blame the officiating? Just sick of watching Paul hop around and about calls that he doesn't get when in fact he gets plenty. I thought the blocking call on Patty was incorrect as well as the one on DG guarding Paul at halfcourt.
And IMO, the Spurs don't get rewarded when going to the basket as much as the Clippers do. And that still doesn't excuse the no-calls when Parker drives. He takes the exact same amount of contact to the body or legs that Paul does but doesn't get nearly the calls. Duncan seems to get hacked quite a bit also.
But last night, I think the Clippers could about calls going against them as well.
It's the inconsistency of the calls that bugs me. They let them play physical here and there but then all of a sudden, it's a ticky tack foul or a foul that was ignored on the play before.
Espeically when the defensive player jumps and the offensive player drives into him. It was 50/50 which way they called it.
The refs were calling some lame crap on the Spurs and letting the Spurs get hammered on the other end. However, when the Spurs did get to the line, they missed several FTs. Parker missed 4, Duncan missed 2 or 3, Manu missed half of his. You have to make your FTs.
Also, they couldn't make open shots, kept missing layups, kept passing up open looks (only to settle for very difficult shots or even turn it over), and they couldn't secure defensive rebounds when they needed to. Also, they left that scrub as , Austin Rivers, rip them a new asshole.
That is why they lost.
Green needs to get his head out of his ass already on the offensive end. Splitter needs to let his nuts hang instead of constantly vagging out. Baynes needs more playing time, as he will definitely deliver hard fouls and go hard to the hoop.
Even Tim was soft yesterday. He got the ball low several times and should have just gone up strong with it. But he pulled it back down and passed out. Was at least 3 or 4 times where I thought he had an easy lay-in.
Spurs suck and this series is over. The refs are the last to blame..
Spurs will still win but if they don't, here is the Official Order of Blame
Parker
Green
Splitter
Refs
Clippers shooting
chris paul playing like an offensive tackle and earning fouls for it, was annoying. the rest was good enough.
Never blame Tim Duncan.. Dude played the worst pick n roll defense I've ever seen, missed 2 bunnies, "bUT HeSz Da FoUNDAtiOn bEcAuSe PoP is nOT A XeNopHobE and always gives our foreigners the credit"
The only thing I can complain about is CP3s little run and stop and get fouled from behind bull . Someone needs to push that got to the floor hard when he does that.
I think it needs to be Parker. Parker takes him down hard and then fake humps him while swinging an imaginary lasso over his head. Paul is humiliated and we lose Parker for a couple of games. Win Win.
not a bad idea
But I would hate for CP3 one up Parker.
Suppose Paul then starts grinding his butt into Parker's junk and acting like he likes it. So then Parker would have to pull Paul's face to his crotch and feign ejaculation.
Umm Spurs have been getting most of the calls. You guys I swear... Spurs just got beat by a good team is all it is. Nut up!
The way that the Spurs have been shooting free throws I almost would rather them not get calls
It's obvious that the refs are giving Spurs calls when it doesn't matter but they wait until pivotal moments and make sure the Clippers get them.Umm Spurs have been getting most of the calls. You guys I swear... Spurs just got beat by a good team is all it is. Nut up!

Hopefully, that would draw in Blake Griffin to watching and fake masturbating. So all three would be thrown out for the series.
the Spurs have to man up and quit being soft. they need to foul the clips in the same manner that the clips are fouling them.
Spurs got away with plenty of extracurricular pushing and shoving, and they were flopping all over the place as well. Just because the casual fan narrative is that we somehow "get all the calls" doesn't make it true.
You're wrong. Several analysts have already called it "one of the most biased" officiating jobs in recent playoff history.
refs give the Clips the calls so they don't have to hear them wailing like a baby that lost it's pacifier. Harden and the Thunderrefs expect and get the calls, the Clips get the calls too but if they don't they go ballistic, like they paid for the fix and it ain't working the way they expected it.
Which "analysts"? Sean Elliott and Bill Land?
Even more respected than them.Which "analysts"? Sean Elliott and Bill Land?
