    I thought it was actually a foul, but the refs swallowed their whistle to "even things out" now that the win has been secured.

    Guys, don't overreact to this. NO TEAM HAS BEATEN THE SPURS AT HOME THIS SEASON. We are fine. Still 6th seed. If we lose, we are 20-10 in last 30. That is GOOD.

    It probably was a foul but how quickly he was able to switch and contest the shot, its something Aminu has shown he can do as well as dribble the ball at arms length and lose it half the time.

    so the refs are just going to ignore the fact the rim was grabbed and pulled as the shot hiut the rim and went into the air.

    Yeah except Utah wins tonight. We have been playing shit basketball and still have to play the Warriors again. As well as the clippers and Dallas two more times. Basically 6-9 is a toss up

    He has flashes of great defense, but also completely loses his man way too often. Aminu is "one step forwards, two steps back" - the good never comes close to out-weighing the bad, except once every ten games.

    That is the difference. Spurs holding a commanding lead without a starter on the court. DEPTH!

    We either make the playoffs or we get a lottery pick. I have no problem with either outcome.

    I think right now it's Lillard giving Lillard problems. Yeah they did a good job on him but apparently he's battling a cold plus I think he was very frustrated with foul calls early on

    COACHING. I really don't see a huge talent disparity.

    Players taking 20 million less to go play for that team. How can they ever lose?
