Nobody cried or looked for anybody to blame. We accepted the fact that our team played poorly and lost because of it. Why can't other fans behave that way?

Ok, I'm a Jazz fan and I'll put the blame where it lies, on the jazz players; they did suck it up. They didn't get the ball to boozer, and kirilenko, okur, harpring, fisher, just plain sucked it up. The worst I have seen out of them. And guess what? THEY WERE STILL IN IT! And then (and this is where my second choice for blame lies) the refs starting calling every stupid flop for the spurs. And I consider myself a pretty fair guy, I mean I saw fouls against the spurs that shouldn't have been called, or plays that went the jazz's way but were called and shouldn't have been (like kirilenko flailing like a moron when he lost the ball TWICE and was barely touched - no hands on that fool, get rid of him). BUT that was without a doubt one of those most one sided games I have seen in a long time, and being a jazz fan, I have seen quite a few.
They were calling every little flop the spurs attempted. I mean, the only guy who didn't get calls but deserved them was DUNCAN!
Parker - drives in the lane - spins - then his patented "fall" / flop at the end (ALWAYS) -> Call. Every time. No matter if no one touches him when he falls, he always gets that call. Ginobili - flailing after Fisher barely touches him as if a 400 pound guy crashed into him -> Call. And then the T's were retarded. Anyone who can say they are a fan of regular basketball has to see that they were worse than some of the famous Rasheed Wallace technicals. I mean, that technical when Wallace just stared down the official? All Fisher did was look at Ginobili as if to say " you know you flopped on that" and got T'd up?! Insane. And I hate fisher, always have, but that's not fair.
The jazz lost the game, but they didn't do it on their own.
And just for the people who are saying that the jazz fans were way out of line (some of them were, and I don't think more than a handful threw stuff), think about it. When's the last time you saw the jazz fans EVER throw stuff? After one game: a couple of years ago, against the SPURS, the ref's ripped them off yet again, at the end when the jazz were up, when Amieche was there, and basically handed the game to the spurs. So, 2 times the ref's screwed up, the fan's let them and the league know it. And don't make it out to be something it's not, they're not like those few fans of detroit.

What do you suggest the Spurs fans would have complained about after Game 3? Their team got completely dominated. There was nothing unfair about it.
Even Spurs fans have to admit that there was some terrible refereeing in Game 4. I mean come on, I could write out a list of all the bad calls that benefitted the Spurs, but we all saw them.
It's entirely possible that the Spurs would have won Game 4 had it been officiated fairly. They played very well in the 4th quarter. However, Jazz fans have every reason to be angry about the way the game was officiated. It was a total disgrace.

Good point, Spurs fans accepted the fact their team did not do well on Game 3. I didn't blame the Utah Jazz, I blame the Spurs because they didn't do well to win that game. On the other hand, the Spurs did great on Game 4, but the Utah Jazz fans seem to be sore losers, throwing crap, yelling the entire game, and posting crap on these yahoo blogs....give me a break. Just accept the fact your team did not win and that's it, and stop playing the blame game. I'm looking forward to Game 5.

Did you notice the rather BS Technical foul calls. Remember Ginobilli Ran into fisher, and how do you get a tech for doing the electric slide on side line. I agree it is a bad dance but not worthy as a technical. Ginobilli and Parker look more like soccer players than basketball players. Oberto's "basket" eventhough the ball was clearly in the cylinder. The refs got too involved in this game and made too many questionable calls that really should not have been made.

Perhaps because the game was played at Utah and there were no Spurs fans around to "whine". I'm sure all the Spurs fans at home whined after Duncan picked those up.

Did you notice that they still held a commanding lead on the series and were favored to lose that game? Did you notice the officiating was down the middle that game? Did you notice the Spurs were not favored to win that game in the first place? Will it be the same when the Spurs lose game 5 in San Antonio?

Popovich Trys to coach them the best way he can. I think he probably told them to suck it up and play your butt off next game. A reason they have grown into the classy champions we know they can be.

Ms. Clueless: There is a difference in just plain losing, and GETTING SCREWED. When you get screwed you are especially ticked off.
Spurs haven't gotten SCREWED in a long, long time.
