sometimes things are unbalanced without a consipirarcy....however in this case the techs were pretty crappy.
the foul on rondo when he and james were both going for a loose ball was a joke. that's a no call or a foul on james.
I hear you, but considering the past (most notably the 2002 WCF) it's hard to think that this is just simply unbalanced.
I'm still pissed about Wade shovign Collison and getting nothing but a foul for it. Are you kidding me? Let's drop the whole "NBA's darling" tag for just one minute and make a call like it should be done. That clearly fits the description of a flagrant 1. Yet Thabo got a flagrant last night for hitting Manu in the chin in what appeared to be inadvertent contact.
I sent an email to the league (not expecting anything to come of it) via their website that was pretty blunt and I got the most cookie-cutter, piece of shit response back. :x
Either the majority of these refs are in on something, or too many of them need evaluations.

i caught that chin music foul too....that was not a flagrent.
Definitely not in my eyes. Thabo just brought his arm up in bad timing and connected with Manu, it's just what can happen when playing basketball. But shoving a player? What the fuck kind of play is that?

What an ugly game for the Spurs. Oh well - a loss is not too suprising after their run but still disappointing.
As I said before OKC is the one team that makes me a more than a little nervous.
Hope they adjust for tomorrows game, otherwise it will be a looong series.
Go Spurs!
Typically, SA comes back to redeem themselves from a poor loss like that. But like you have implied, OKC isn't the type of team to just get outplayed, especially on their own floor.
I swear they're a completely different team with that home court advantage. Well, not completely, but they're much scarier at home.

This game is so fixed. The refs had our back the whole night. I loved the result, but it's still so fixed.

Wade had zero free throw attempts in 43 minutes in game 3. Look for that to change tonight, if David Stern has anything to say about it.

A little of both. That, and the C's are hitting everything on the court right now.

Finally we're starting to have a game on our hands but will Wade and Lebron play the whole 4th quarter?

nba refs are a joke.

A win on the road would be ideal.
A Sox fan and Cub fan walk into AmericanAirlines Arena. We both hate the Heat.
More mature than I thought. Spurs just couldn't get the stops, offensively not terrible.
Ibaka was unreal, and Durant is impossible to guard
Game 5 should determine the winner. Great series so far
