he took like 6 steps lol, good no callComment -
Refs cheated 3 times to make Labrown winComment -
Because ref's never decide playoff clinching games. Kobe wouldn't have gotten that foul. it was a reckless stupid drive by ginobli. This is coming from a die hard Spurs fan who didn't have any money on the game and i feel like absolute shit.Comment -
He traveled so it could go either way. People should be talking about how Ginobili and mainly Parker Sabotaged their chance to win this game. That's on the real!Comment -
lebron would have got that call if the heat were losing and there were 2 seconds left.
no?Comment -
Parker hit a huge 3 to tie the game and hit the 2 point bucket to go up 2 with 50 seconds left. Ginobli was the one who turned the ball over every time spurs were making a run. Parker shot horrible but still had a very good game. One rebound or ginboli free throw made and its a different story.Comment -
You don't discuss fouls or lack of fouls as a player or coach. Stern put a stop to that a few years ago by dishing out back breaking fines and suspensions. They all know not to question the refs led by master pimp Stern.
Stern also told the media not to ask the questions and for ESPN/ABC/TNT not to show questionable calls over and over again as it taints the public's perception. Stern has his bitches trained and his pimp hand is strong.

So many things had to go wrong for the Spurs to blow that 5 point lead with 28 seconds and all of them happened. Then the turnovers in OT was just plain obvious. I had my money on the Heat tonight but FYI I truly believe the Spurs made sure this series had a game 7Comment -
I've never beleived in conspiracy's so i'll agree to disagree with you. Spurs wouldn't have gone up 5 with 28 seconds left if they were trying to lose. Hollywood couldn't stage that comeback if they tried. The exact circumstance that happened was the only circumstance in which heat could send it to overtime.Comment -
damn i don't know how the spurs are gonna comeback on thursday from this devastating loss. all they had to do was make some fts or even get the rebound from lebron's missed 3s. heck they could've even fouled bosh when he got the offensive rebound.
as a basketball fan, it would've been nice to see duncan go out on top but now there is no way they win game 7...Comment -
Yea i feel the same way. I didn't bet on any game in this series but i said the spurs would win game 1,3,5, and 6. Just thought it had to be destiny i called it all right. When the 4th quarter started i said, "Score 20 points and you got it". They started the quarter off horrid but they came back. They were up 95-92 and they scored exactly 20 points which is what i said they needed to win. It just seemed like the stars were aligning. Until Ray Allen made that 3-pointer. Crushing.Comment -
Clear no callComment -
Absolutely not. I think it is clear to this point that LeBron does NOT get the benefit of the doubt from any of the referees, after considering the amount of no-calls per drives into the lane.... He does not get the 'Star' treatment like one would expect he does... He just has difficulty finishing most of the time.
The Spurs best chance was to close it out tonight but the Heat came through... Game 7 is all Heat now.. Spurs put up a good fight........Comment -
I didn't see any foul. Looked like all ball.Comment -
Didn't get a shot off but he got the first down.Comment -
I'll go with Van Gundy's position that he was clearly fouled.Comment -
Ginobli took three steps at least on that drive....should have been called for traveling easily.Comment -
I'll go with the real evidence and conclude that Van Gundy is clearly an idiot.

Why didn't popovich foul when they were up 3 with few seconds left in the 4th? Why don't coaches do this?
Comment -
He was actually asked about this in the press conf after the game. The reporter was from Italy and asked why didn't you foul in that situation. Popovich asks "Is that the European question", reporter says "Yes well we tend to do that in Italy at least and the pop replies "Well we don't do that here". Not sure if he actually means that or if he just wanted to move on but its certainly interesting.
Also....
AwesomeComment -
unwritten rule that the team that's winning by a point or a bucket gets to beat the shit out of whomever is driving to the rim on the final play and there will be no call. since everyone knows that, including popovich, i never understand why the trailing team doesn't just launch a jump shot instead. spurs blew it on the freethrows before OT. was sad but what can you do.Comment -
I'm sure it's already been said but that one play did not decide the game. I could point out 10 times last night that the Heat got fouled and did not get the call and probably 10 times the Spurs got fouled and go no call. As a partial party without any money riding on the game, the Spurs cannot blame the refs. They can however blame their coach who had their best rebounder on the bench at the end of the game when Chris Bosh comes up with the game saving offensive rebound, passes to Allen who knocks down a three. Why aren't you talking about that? Or how Ginobli was -25 with TO's yet was out there?
Refs can't see evertyhing. Sure it was clear on replay but I've seen a lot worse fouls not called and lot less called.
The spurs can only blame themselves.Comment -
Looked like a running back running between the tackles .
Can't expect a call there, especially when it was a foul and a travel.
Good play on IMO.Comment -
Spurs Sold the championship accept it is a complete joke that last 50 secs of the last night game
Comment -
Tony Parker Throwing the ball and not looking the foul, Tim Duncan Out of the Court no playing the last fews seconds the game have a lot of things for suspects of stern and miamiLebron 3 points, last layup easy like nobody cover him NBA is a JOKE
Comment -
bosh put his cok in danny green's behind on the last play but that will never be called in that situationComment -
Travel clear as day he picked up his dribble too early thinking he had something and just kept walking with defender on hip guarding tight. Foul occurred after at least 3 or 4 steps were taken clear as day. NEITHER team went to the line much they were not calling fouls either way. Refs swallowed their whistles and let them play it out so quit your b*tching already!Comment -
Diaw guarding James most of the game, holding him to very little points until Popovich takes him out in the 4th and allow James to go off in that 1 quarter.
I can't believe what I just watched. It looked like Popovich tanked this game on purpose. Ginobli with 8 turnovers and you keep him on the court. Last play down 1 you have Ginobli drive 1 on 5 while Tony Parker is sitting on the bench? You leave Duncan out of the lineup twice. You keep poor FT shooters on the floor when you know the Heat have to foul you. You don't call for a foul while up 3? You then put Duncan and Splitter on the court on the last play when you need a 3 to tie. The Heat knew neither of them are going to shoot a 3 so Bosh could layoff his man and block Greens shot.
This looked like a fix.
Now, one play I don't hear about today is the Lebron foul on Parker to end regulation in a tie. Parker tries to get to the basket and Lebron pushes him with his left arm. It was just as bad as the Ginobli no call. I know refs don't like to call the foul end of games but a foul is a foul.

Spurs playing volleyball with the basketball near the end of the game. Its all good. One more game. Both teams are tired for the most part.Comment -
Mac I do tend to agree with you on Pop's curious coaching moves. That seemed very odd the line-ups he was going to and having Parker/Duncan sit to start the 4th giving Miami a good shot outta the gate to make a run. I realize he does this a lot and I cannot comment on how tired the old guys were but seriously this is a gm 6 to win a title and you have to dig a little deeper.Comment -
worst was the lineup he used to start the 4th up 10 and on a big run. The guys were in their rhythm, let them build that lead up a little more! Instead he puts in the bench-warmers and they lose their 10 pt lead in a matter of 1 minute. Literally I think it took them 1 minute to catch up. Back to back 3-s and then LeBron made two in a row. I think Splitter got one in the middle of it all but it was pathetic and odd. When I saw their lineup starting the fourth I thought to myself "looks like the Spurs want the Heat to catch up".Comment -
lol
this guy
you must have went crazy on the bs ref calls for kobe in gm7 vs boston.. o thats right you only hate lebron..
