I haven't watched but 5 min of playoff basketball this year but last night's score, which I just saw, surprises the hell out of me. This Spurs team, the few times I caught them during the regular season, were a bit more fun to watch than in previous years.

OKC is really good and it wouldn't surprise in the least to see them beat SAS. They arguably have the two best players in the series, despite the fact that Aldridge has been the best player for two games and Leonard is right there.I'm like LeBron James.

No idea how the official doesn't call that forearm shiver on the out of bounds play. A lot of fans whine about officiating, the Spurs are the only team that has consistently been screwed by the NBA. I wish that play would've happened in the Mvd series just to hear Cuban responding to it.Get confident, stupid

Cuban responded last night. He was going off on twitter. Said he would already have the protest written and if the NBA ever upholds a protest it should be for that and the last 7 seconds replayed. Also said they should request an interview with the ref.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View Post
It was ridiculous not to call. But at the end of the day the Spurs ended up with a 3 on 1 break with Green, Mills and Ginobili against Steven Adams and couldn't even get a shot off. It was such a weird sequence.*Banned*Comment

Yep. Even though a timeout would have probably killed the momentum, it would have prepared a better play than Ginobili passing to Mills (?!?) for a three.Originally posted by cougjunkie View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Dan Patrick and Reggie Miller were saying this morning on DP's show that Ginobili stepped on the out of bounds line before the forearm.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View Post

Lots of weird things on that play. Ginobili stepping on the line, the forearm shiver, Adams getting raped by a fan after contesting Mills' 3. And nobody is talking about it, but Patty Mills effing mugged Steven Adams on the inbound play. Like literally had his arms wrapped entirely around Adams' waist to keep him from running to set a screen.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Spurs still win this in 5 or 6 games.
Yeah the Spurs would have more of a legitimate complaint about the no-call of they didn't steal the ball anyway and I agree that Ginobili was way too close to the sideline -- should have been told by refs to back off.Comment

So there was a delay of game and two fouls on the Spurs and two fouls on OKC on that last sequence. No mention of the Spurs fan holding Adams on the sideline.
Bottom line is the refs swallowed their whistles and both teams were fouling/cheating about equally.Comment

It must be frustrating as hell to be a OKC fan. Arguably 2 of the best 5 players are on your team, you have height, and great defense. Yet it just seems that most of the time Westbrook and Durant give only flashes of brilliance. During the last game I kept thinking if only they could just dial down a bit their 'explosion plays' and play with a more sustained energy, they would be the team to beat. Although I thought SA played very good defense, it wasn't like OKC didn't score relatively easy."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Malone and Stockton Jazz. 10 years at the top of their games, stayed healthy, HOF coach, etc, yet couldn't get there. Really hard to win in the NBA.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostI'm like LeBron James.

Westbrook is an athletic freak and probably the quickest/most explosive guy in the league, but his bball IQ seems to be about on par with Trent Plaisted. I watched half the game last night and he got caught numerous times in the air looking to pass only to throw it away. His shot selection can be bad as well. All that being said, I'd love to have him on the Lakers because he is that good....although we all know Durrant will be a Laker next yearOriginally posted by Northwestcoug View Post

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

True, but only the Bulls were better when the Jazz were at their best. There's a handful of teams right now that are better than OKC. It just seems like they should be better.Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Guys with Plaistaid's IQ don't get triple doubles like he does.

I can't believe the way Scott Foster T'd up and ejected Livingston like that.
Livingston gets hit in the head and it doesn't get called. You would think they would cut him a little slack.
Really a sign of a poor ref IMO to follow up an obvious mistake by issuing a bunch of technical fouls. Let the team yell at you a little after you miss a call, especially if you just let the guy get hit in the head.Comment
