These NBA finals are very strange. After the loss 3 I thought SAS would be back in business but DAMN. I'm very surprised how they played poorly. Too many turnovers, no outside shoots. Probably the worst game by a team in Finals since the game 3 of Bulls-Jazz in 98
so we got 2 clear wins for SA and 2 clear wins for the D. no close game so far.in game 4 duncan got owned the fuck out. that wasn't just a win. the pistons straight up humiliated the spurs right there on the court, no mercy.you know you got owned when your best player is shooting below 30%.you know you got owned when 7 players of detroit achieved double figures.you know you got owned when the detroit pistons score more than 100 points against you.and you know you got owned the FUCK OUT when darko milicic comes in and scores the 100th point against your team with a nice move.
bad bad game...Spurs will win the next
Q: My buddy Chuck and I just had a 20-minute conversation as to why Bavetta is not involved in Game 3. As two of the other 19 NBA diehards left, we figure that Stern is saving Bavetta for Game 4. Stern desperately needs this series to get to 2-2 – the NBA cannot have a lackluster Finals followed up by a lockout; it would sink this league. And Stern still has this game covered with Crawford and Salvatore. So, here's to Bavetta in Game 4, and a 2-2 tie.–Kyle Blanton, Las VegasSG: Yes, I received this e-mail on Tuesday night, before we found out Dick Bavetta was reffing Game 4. All joking aside, I'm worried that the NBA is morphing into professional wrestling. With all due respect to the Pistons, who may have played the best playoff game of any 2005 team Thursday night (four turnovers?!?!?!), Game 4 was decided in the first few minutes when it became clear that the Pistons were allowed to clutch, grab, paw at the ball and contest every shot with no repercussions, culminating in Ben Wallace raking Duncan across the arm (probably the worst no-call of the playoffs) and Popovich picking up a technical. The Spurs were D-U-N done after that. Of course, in Game 2, the Pistons weren't allowed to breathe on anyone without a foul being called.Sometimes I feel like Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory" complaining about this stuff, but I honestly feel that the officiating is slowly undermining the credibility of the league. My friends who follow the NBA feel that way. Enough of my readers feel that way that I don't think I'm crazy. And it's getting to the point that I can actually guess which referees will be assigned to which games … and I'm right! That's insanity! This is a much bigger problem than high schoolers entering the draft, six-year contracts, revenue sharing and anything else. Where have the quality referees gone? Why are some playoff games called completely different than other games? Why are certain refs only assigned to must-win games for the home team? Why does it seem like certain refs have grudges against certain teams, and more importantly, why has there been a preponderance of coaches calling out these grudges (more than any other year)?
fucking weird as hell there's only 2 explainations for thisA) miss Cleo is cursing the spurs B) the city of Detroit is the new Mafia city and the mob is gaining control of the NBA and is having the favorite team fall to the pistons in every big series i refuse to give the pistons any credit
