HAS ANY NOTICED THAT THE CAVS CAN'T CATCH A BRAKE WHEN IT COMES TO THE REFS CALLING FOULS. THE WHOLE YEAR THE SPURS WERE CRYING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT REFS CALLING BOGUS FOULS AND TREATING THEM DIFFERANTLY. THEY EVEN SUSPENDED A REF FOR THE ALTERCATION BETWEEN HIM AND TIM DUNCAN. NOW SINCE THE PLAYOFFS STARTED THE REFS DON'T CALL ANYTHING ON THE SPURS AND EVERYTHING ON THE OTHER TEAM. THE BEST EXAMPLE WAS LAST GAME WHEN LABRON SHOT THAT 3 WITH BRUCE BOWEN ON HIS BACK 5 FEET FROM A REF THAT WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT THE FOUL BUT WHAT HAPPENED A "NO CALL" DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE WHATS GOING ON OR IS IT I JUST HATE THE SPURS THAT MUCH??????

I've noticed it.. I think they really should be more fair. Especially after that foul at the end of the last game that could have changed everything.

What are you talking about. Just what??? The Cavs were constantly at the free throw line!!!! They could have pitched a tent and camped there !!! Of course, they couldn't hit the bucket. Is that the Spurs fault,too? Tim Duncan was playing on four fouls, two within the first five minutes of the game !!!! And he wasn't the only Spur carrying fouls for most of the game! And quit typing in caps... it's annoying and many people won't even read a question or answer in caps.

Maybe what's weird is that is the game being played the wat Mr. Neismith intended. Without a lot of contact, with some strong fundamentals from BOTH teams. Yes, right now it is lopsided 3-0.....but those 3 games have not been all that easy. Even as a Spurs fan, and a BIG one at that I have to admit, these first 3 games could have gone either way several times especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters. I do not count Cavs out yet. What's going on is it is some classy men with talent, loving a game and playing. Oh, and Bowen was not on LBJ's back although he did grab at his right arm. LBJ added class points in my book by coming back to say it was incidental contact and that it didn't effect the shot anyway.. You want chest thumpin', trash talkin' and such go watch some wrestlin'. Now there's something that is fixed.

The only weird thing I see around here is this question. Where in the world do you get your information? The Spurs got the penalties they deserved and took them like men. And there was no altercation between Duncan and Joey Crawford. Tim was sitting on the bench laughing when Crawford tossed him. Crawford deserved to be fired for that, not just suspended. And as for the last play in game 3, anybody with 3 digits in his IQ and a minimal knowledge of math and/or basketball will tell you that calling a foul would not have helped the Cavs.

How did the calls not go in your favor? Timmy got 3 fouls pretty quick and got sent to the bench. Lebron did also shortly before that, but that was your chance to attack the rim. No one on the cavs team took advantage of it. So thats the refs fault? Usually any game timmy gets in foul trouble early they will lose, because he can't be as aggressive. Lebron AGAIN elbowed ginobili in the face and got no call, but, ginobili isn't complaining. I still say Cavs got the benefit in game 3, I mean they contained tony, manu was a no show, and tim duncan was actually playing like a mortal that night. They had their worst game and still pulled out the win.

It's your hatred. Don't let it eat you inside or you'll become a very bitter person and everyone will shun you. Your upset about the last call but even Lebron came out and said that it didn't matter, that it was before the "act of shooting" and that it would have only been a two point foul shot. The Cavs would still have been down by one point IF he had made both free throws. Calls are missed for both teams, there is no conspiracy just because your team, if the Cavs are your team, lost.

Does Pau Gasol get the extra suitable of Kevin Garnett interior the placed up? Or will KG as quickly as back dominate him like he did interior the '08 Finals? - KG will dominate him because of the fact Gasol isn't that valuable against athletic defenders for the main section. 6.

I think you just hate the spurs. You hate them because they run textbook offense and they play good help defense and they have no flash. Yet, somehow they always end up winning games...No flying dunks, no crossovers and no style points but, they just get it done. You have been programmed to think that if a team doesn't have these things then you can't like them. If you look at all the teams that haven't made it far in the playoffs...What do they have in common? Flash! and Now they at home!

The Cavs are not getting the short end of the stick when it comes to fouls being called. I hate that they're losing too. Although Lebron WAS fouled on his last shot and better still, he should have been given 3-shots because of the continuation rule. And Lebron even got fouled in the Detroit series on a last shot effort. Cavs win game 4 though!

a little bit! The refs should have called a foul but it would have only been 2 shots since LBJ was not in shooting motion! Even if he got the 3 shots, which I doubt, the would have lost!
Gooden was out and they were exhausted!
Hope this anwers your question
