The refs made sure there was at least one more game for Phoenix
Edited on Mon May-30-05 10:12 PM by Gman
The second half of the Spurs-Phoenix game was one of the worst officiated I've seen since game 4 of the Spurs-Knicks league championship series. The refs made damn sure there was another game for the sake of network TV.

Stodemier got away with throwing Ginobilli to the floor and ended up shooting freethrows. Complete horseshit. If you don't think TV dollars have a say in who wins and when you haven't been watching the NBA for very long.

The absolute worst I have ever seen was game 7 of the Spurs-Washington Bullets Eastern Conference championship series when Earl Strom singly handedly made damn sure "that ABA team" didn't play in the NBA championship series because the Spurs were "that ABA team" and wouldn't draw near the advertising dollars that the Bullets would.

But this game 4 of Spurs-Phoenix was a complete officiating sham.

1. Spoken like a true fan looking for the sweep.
Not exactly objective criticism.

No flames, I'm just saying.

3. Lol.
Yeah, and I'm Grace Kelly.

Say hi!

:hi:

I was glad for it not to be over. I'm rooting for
the Pistons, and letting SA have a week off while the
the Pistons and Heat go 7 would be really unfair.

:evilgrin:
