I can't even watch game 4 anymore, as the refs lead by Steve "quick-on-the-whistle" Javie are handing the Spurs the game. It's too bad, because after initially not wanting to watch this series at all, the Jazz were starting to impress me with their offensive execution lead by Deron Williams. It baffles me at how much the Spurs get away with. As much as I respect Duncan, he argues every f***ing call and still never gets teed up. The one time he does? The ref gets canned because Duncan was merely laughing sarcastically. SJax and Baron clap sarcastically? Ejected. I'm done with the NBA for awhile. Somebody up high wants the Spurs to win this series and there's nothing the Jazz can do to stop that. LMAO another wonderful flop by Manu. You can't look at Parker without a foul being called, and it doesn't help that he somehow always ends up on his ass like a little bitch.
First off, the Spurs are just the better, more talented team, period. And you're fooling yourself if you don't think Utah doesn't get a lot of calls their way too, ESPECIALLY in salt lake.
Just to clarify, if the referees are giving the game away, it has nothing to do with David Stern. Stern and the referees have a terrible relationship with each other (especially after the whole Joey Crawford incident) and there's no way they'd rig games for him.
Refs call games the way they see it. They have the experience. I liek the way game 4 is being officiated, i think it is alil lop sided toward the Spurs, but overall Utah can get some calls too.
I remember why I stopped watching basketball on ESPN...Stephen A Smith is a c**t. God damn, the most obnoxious, annoying "analyst" in basketball.
Manu is a wus. The guy flops the sh*t outta himself. I hate it when players like that ruin the game and flop all the time. I hate ginobili. Fisher got a technical just because manu ran into him and jumped 5 feet sideways.

Spurs are just excellent actors and it complements them as a great squad (not to sayt he refs didnt get hot on the whistle).. dont get me wrong i HATE watching them win, but i can't deny thier talent.. in the crunch they have the poise that jazz didn't bring.. Normally i wouldn't care less for this series but Deron Williams is simply electrifying.. im going out of my way to watch this guy play the game.. bad luck jazz i wish you took this one!
This is where I disagree, people say the Spurs controlled the game and the s***iness of the refs was irrelevant. A few bad calls change the whole momentum of the game, and you could almost see the wind come out of the Jazz' sails after three ticky-tack fouls in 3 seconds and a T on Giricek. You're damn right the Spurs are good, but so are the Jazz, and they aren't even being given a chance in this series. Manu Ginobili deserves a suspension for the crap he pulls. **** the Spurs, this championship means nothing if they win it.

I had the Spurs winning in six games, I guess it'll be in five now. Big whoop.
The Spurs are very good at instigating the opposing teams into retaliating and losing their composure. Spurs are damn good though, and I really like Oberto's contributions on the court. He's the back tapping machine.
Like I said in the other forum, it appears that when Parker drives he already has it set in his mind that he's going to land on his ass. He drives in, jumps, and makes no attempt to land on his feet. Jazz just couldn't hang in the 4th. Yeah, refs made some bs calls..... but oh well...
Manu gets away with alot. One charge that was called on Millisap, was not a charge. Manu's left foot was sliding and he still got the call. Whil Fisher's T was horrible. I don't understand, do the Refs not think to themselfs, what they are doing?
this flopping, 25 fts in one quarter, throwing around petty technical fouls and fouls period bulls#!t has got to stop.....as much as I hate the jazz (and I do hate them) watching that game made want to puke last night...you just KNEW the fans were going to start throwing things.
Refs can't see every single motion on the floor. So, at least half the time they rely on the players' reactions, which isn't good officiating in my opinion. When a player complains, the refs always say they call it how they see it. But unless they're EXTREMELY blind, I'm pretty sure that's a damn lie. They should know by now that Ginobili's MO is flopping. Fisher and Billups are great floppers too I've noticed. Thanks a lot for this trend Divac. Burn in hell.

Jesus I didn't even see that. 25 free throws in a quarter? Was it the 4th? They could have missed every damn shot and missed 5 of their freethrows and still put up a decent quarter.
