That's because you're cheering for San Antonio. They are getting so many calls. They are playing well too, that's why I didn't complain much about that first loss but this is ridiculous. Even on the replays you see Nash getting hacked and then you get all those touch fouls from San Antonio. They gave Amare 2 bad fouls and Duncan should have about 8 or 9 right now the way they call them against the Suns, but has 3.
And there's another no call with Duncan hitting both of Amare arms on a dunk attempt and then Ginobli actually argues on an obvious trip. I wouldn't mind the no calls if it went both sides.
Suns seemed to care more about complaining to the refs then running the offense and it showed in the 3rd quarter with all those blown lay-ups and 5 foot jumpers always looking to the refs to bail them out which ended up costing them the game tonight. Suns end up beating themselves tonight :cry2:
The officials were god awful. I'm happy Nash kept shooting the ball after his poor shootng in the first 3 quarters. Duncan was just a monster, and he proved why he is the most dominant post player on offense and defense in the league. I hate Ginobili.. I just... cannot stand the guy!!
I give the Spurs credit though. They found a way to get the majority of the calls all the time. I don't think the game was rigged or anything, but San Antonio's constant but not overdone complaining about every single thing and the fans doing the same got the refs to do it. And the Spurs always foul and the Suns rarely do so when it happens it just seems different. The Suns fouls seem to be much more obvious.I think the Suns use the motivation from this game to best the Spurs Monday. If they can't do that then they really don't deserve to win. Then at home the calls aren't this bad. After all the calls they got this time, how good their big 3 played, Amare only on the court 20 minutes, Nash playing much worse than usual and the Spurs only won by 6, I'm convinced that we have the better team. We can win this in 7, but we need the next two. Game 4 will be tough. If I don't see a big game out of both Amare and Nash I will be very disappointed.To win though they have to try to guard Duncan better. Kurt does a good job...Duncan couldn't even back him down and he did have to make some tough shots, but we just need to send in a guard once in a while to swat the ball and bother him more. Our guards don't really get in foul trouble so it won't hurt us much.
The Suns need to learn how to foul properly. They always pick up these cheap fouls by slapping at the ball and not grabbing someone to stop them from the continuation. I am starting to think D'Antoni's philosophy of not fouling has led them to forget how to properly foul someone so they do not give up the numerous "and-1s" they do (yes I am talking to you Marion ).There wasn't much else the Suns could do against Duncan tonight. Half of the shots Duncan made were well defended shots. Bringing the double will allow Duncan to kick it out for the open 3s from Finley/Bowen/Ginobili which is the last thing the Suns need or want.
Now saying try to trap him, but if someone's near by just try to bother him a big. Don't just have him go against 1 person with no worries about someone coming up from behind. He already doesn't have to worry about fouling anyone so you might as well give him something to bother him.
With Spurs winning the series, and maybe the title I can still say Nuggets was the 4th best team in the league. LOLBut I deff hope Suns steal the next game to tie it up. I hate the Spurs, and Manu even more. lol
The Nuggets arn't the 4th best team in the league, don't even mention them as the 4th best even if it is a joke, it ain't funny.Amare looked fraustrated throughout the entire game cause of those damn refs! but he still manged to put up 21 points in 21 mintues which is quite outstanding, I defently think he will be the main scoring option in game 4. due to him wanting to get his revenge and beat the F*ck out of the spurs in the next game which may work well for the suns because they need that extra punch if there going to beat the defensive minded spurs and also it was cool seeing manu's eye being ''attacked'' I just laughed cause it's manu and someone guard tony parker some more then I think the suns could make it more intresting cause they really don't wanna give up another game, this series has the potential to go to 7 games and it's very possible so im hoping both teams play to there best.

The reffs stole 2 games from Denver if you watched you would have seen. Just cause Spurs beat them don't mean they are not the 4th beat team cause Spurs were in the top 3 teams.Iverson had the worse series of his life except game 1 and they still should have won 3 out of 4 the Spurs won. It was all with in a few plays with who won each of those games. Except maybe the last game. The reffs let them kill Melo out there, and had the nerve to call 3-4 offense of fouls in 2 games.Think what you want you will see next year if they don't trade Camby, and keep this team together. They will be top 3-4 in the West for sure up there with Dallas, and Suns. And there is not a single team even the Pistons that is better in the East NONE.
Serge .. you always try and make a good point but it won't cut it.Nuggets are NOT the 4th best team in the league and even if the Nuggets went pretty deep into the playoffs it would not change a thing.Do I need to back that up, I think not.edit - You know there not!!! god damn it.DETRIOT>> NuggetsCHI>> NuggetsCavs>> NuggetsUtah>> NuggetsHouston>> Nuggetsoff the top of my head ^ all of those teams could beat the nuggets in a 7 games series, who cares if allen iverson plays for them, it dosen't change a thing. Nuggets may have not been playoff ready because there team was mixed up through out the whole reg. season and could of defently of been better but dude you can not change that they were not one of the best teams or even that great come playoff time, no what ifs?? okay, wait till next season and let them prove that there good.

I just think it's possible for them to win the series against us even though they are not better just due to there 3 point shooting unless we can start rotating better.Rockets are very good I think underrated, and are closer to Nuggets then any other team you said, they are about the same.Only team I agree with is the Rockets being the same though not better. Jazz are not really better they just got the 3 going for them if we could rotate, and get in there face when they shoot we will beat them cause we are better then them they just can't be left open for the 3's.Ow Yeah, and when I try to make a point I do. And what I said about the Nuggets/Spurs series everything was true you would know that if you watched it. AI out side game 1 sucked, and still 3 out of the 4 Spurs wins it could have easily been Nuggets wins. And 2 of those games reffs really screwed the Nuggets and helped the Spurs. Don't even get me started on how Melo got killed out there yet he was the one getting called for offense of fouls for trying to get even some breathing room they were all up on him.
No.Let me write this clearly for youT H E DENVER N U G G E TS ARE ONE OF THE WORST TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR, YOU ARE CRAZY OOOO-RRRRR MABYE I AM?? IM PRETTY SURE THE NUGGETS SUCKED ALL YEAR LONG EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT AND THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT THEY ARE THE 4, 5 OR EVEN 7, 8TH BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE, YOU COULD ARGUE THAT THERE A TOP 8 TEAM BUT FACT IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ALL THAT FANTASTIC AT THE MOMENT.How many people think there the 4th best? you have got to be on some serious drugs that have effected your brain in such a bad way if you think there better than the Detriot Pistons, I DON'T GIVE A F*ck IF THE NUGGETS WERE 2 PLAYS AWAY FROM BEATING THE SPURS, FACT IS THAT THEY WERE NOT AS GOOD AS THE SPURS. okkkkkkk

One of the worse they had a chance to beat the Spurs every game a team that might go on and when the title. So just cause they lost to them does not mean they are not the 4th best team in the league they might go on to win the title. If Nuggets played any other team mostly Rockets, Jazz, Lakers, Warriors, or even Suns, and Dallas who says they would not have advanced and played Spurs in the Western Conference finals? And Nuggets did not suck they had the 2nd most diff line up's out there again you got to remember trades, and injurys and you just talk out of you *ss with out thinking.And I never really said they were better then the Spurs just like Dallas/Suns. I said they will compete with them, and give them trouble, and they did that. Duncan I think was just asked who was more fisacle after game 3 with the Suns. Or if this was the most fisacle anyone has been with you.He answered.................."Have you see the last series" Nene/Camby gave him more touble then the Suns are right now. Before this series Duncan gave major props to Nene for how hard he made it on him.Duncan is a hall of famer I trust what he says more then you.Just cause they lost to the top 3 team in the league at team that has a great chance to win the title does not mean they are not top 4. I said Spurs were better just like the Mavs, and Suns. You act like they lost to a team I said they were better then. I never said Denver would be the Spurs, I said they would give them trouble take them to 7. I was half right they really did give them trouble just was not 7 game series AI sucked out side game 1. (And don't say I never call AI out and that I am a AI homer I speak the truth he sucked out side game 1 I will say that) Even though I did think he should have gotten more calls to get to the line. Melo also got killed out there and stupid reffs called 3-4 offense of fouls 2 games LOL for 2 games those 2 games were deff changed by the reffs.
Your still saying ''what if'' truth is the nuggets had no chance against the spurs and they knew it after game 3.You still said denver is better than detriot : )im outte, tired, il reply tomrrowand no im not crazy, sorry for my retarted typing.
Stop taking this thread off-topic, Serge.I'll really be pissed if we can't win this series. I really think this is our year, but if we are knocked out of the 2nd round then Sarver won't go over the luxury tax and you could say goodbye to Marion. The team will look pretty different next year and I don't think it will be for the better unless we get KG of course, which I doubt. :no1:
Serge, you are freaking pathetic! How are they the 4th best team in the league? Because they lost to the Spurs in 5 games? Or was it because they had such an astonishing record this year? Or maybe, because they have talent BUT they cant do anything with it!?!?! Your points are retarted, and make no sense. Stop trying to convince people because the Nuggets are at best the 8th best team in the league.
