last night they foul lebron as he shoots a three and no call, they suspend the suns best player and basically hand the spurs that series, they reward ginobli for his flopping and they seem to just be ignorant to anything the spurs do wrong. There was a point in the series against Denver where Duncan had one foul in nine quarters which is physically impossible to pull off playing center in the nba. Anybody else feel as though the Spurs have been given the title? Because they have and if you ask me David Stern should be MVP of the playoffs

Just give spurs the championship. I stop watching after suns lost their two players. They play dirty and get away with it. I know because I play rugby.

If ALL the good players did not have such a hot head and want as much money as they make there would be a better matchup for the Spurs. The Spurs' big thre's contracts all end this year; while it is highly expected that Tim will stay in SA it is not yet known whether or not Tony and or Ginobli will get greedy and demand more money. Who knows maybe the Spurs might have a huge splitup like the Bulls did years ago. But as long as Tim Duncan is around the Spurs will always have a good chance. Historically the Spurs have always been blessed with good PG, most of which have always had good FG %.
The bottom line at the present time is that the Spurs are loaded.

Another complainer on yahoo answers. Dude, all those decisions that looked like was in favor of the Spurs were the right ones to call. Duncan played strong and honest defense against the Nuggets, that's why he had less fouls. Nuggets players would be the first one to say that. In the Suns controversial suspensions, again it was the right decision. Clearly, Amare and Boris headed straight to were the chaos occurred and left the bench. The rule says that if you leave the bench during chaotic moments like the one that occurred on the Suns and Spurs series in game 4, you will automatically be suspended. That rule was made even before the incident occurred. Horry was suspended for two games and rightfully so. Amare and Boris were suspended for one game and that was rightfully so. The results may look like be in favor for the Spurs, but those were the right one's. Substance over form. And in the Cavs and Spurs game 3 complain. Again!!!!, the refs don't call ticky tack fouls at the end of the game to bail teams out. The Cavs had their chances and didn't took advantage. Ginobili had no field goal and only had three points. Cavs just didn't do their job well. STOP blaming people because the Spurs are winning.

Calls go both ways... Tim was called for his 3rd foul and replays show he didn't even touch the guy! Flopping is not just Ginobili's thing. There is always a flopper, a whiner, a player from any opposing team that can get in one's nerve in any given finals, and of course, the losing teams' fans will pick up on that. I know! I'm one of them who always saw everything the other teams got away with when my Spurs were a losing team. I've followed them since 1979 simply because I'm a fan, not knowing (but always hoping) they would ever play in the finals - much less win.
Spurs are not rowdy players. They're not ball-hoggers, and don't aim to stand out individually - they simply want to win, and know that it takes a team to do it. They take blame for their losses, and never speak negatively about the opposing teams. Even after 3 wins, they're not celebrating... they know it's not over until it's over.

Lebron got a good look and was able to shoot that three anyway but he missed. That's the point, he missed. You think he'd complain had he made the shot? Hey, there's no room for whining here. The Spurs are a damn good team and they're tougher than any team in the league right now. They may be boring but they're winners because, as Larry Brown loves to say, they play the game "the right way". Just give the Spurs credit, if you will.

It's the Cavs who were paving the way for Spurs.
C'mon man!
I'm not a Spurs fan but it's obvious the Cavs can't win when the Spurs left open James at the 3pt-line and he's still can't knock it down.
And also, why did James decided to be aggresive and attack the low post on the 4th quarter only?
The Cavs obviously aren't a finished project.

Stop your whining. Spurs deserve their 3rd championship in 5 years. Take your eyes away from Spurs and watch some other team's videos. I'm sure you'll find more of these acts of the referees in those games. And to see whether the referee has made the right decision on a foul or not, you must look in the same angle as the referee did.

The same could be said for any winning team. Champions are champions because everything seems to go their way. I am sick of the officiating, but you can't deny that the Spurs are a good team. If they win this series it will be their 4th championship in 10 years.

I haven't really paid any attention. The Spurs have to be the most boring team in the NBA. Im just happy it wasn't Spurs/Pistons 2.

I think your just another complainer...big deal. The Cavs don't have a chance anyway because their not experienced their only good player is LeBron James, on the other hand the Spurs have Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. What more can I say? If you don't like this season then don't watch and wait until next time to see if your team even makes it.
