Beautiful game by Nash

[JCSunsfan]

The Spurs know every dirty trick in the book and they use them all. Their timing on them is usually perfect too. For example, in Game 1, Duncan's flop against Stoudemire gave the Spurs a huge momentum push heading into the locker room. Similarly, tonight, Ginobili's (multiple) cheap shots kept the game close when the Suns came out hot.

The Spurs fans on this board have been basically cool, much better than Mavericks fans. But the actual Spurs as a team, I can't stand. I hate Ginobili, I hate Horry, I hate Bowen, and although I admire Duncan he also drives me crazy. Mainly, I hate them for getting away with it. The only players on the team I like are Finley (because of his time in Phoenix) and Parker (because he's damn good and, although this board will never admit it, is basically the second coming of Kevin Johnson).

I hate the Spurs almost as much as I hate the Lakers. The Mavericks, eh, whatever, they aren't really relevant anyway.

The thing that bugs me most is how Bowen grabs Nash's left arm as Nash drives. Its obvious, blatant, and never called.

As long as the ball is a loose ball in the paint you can be in there for 24 sec.
but after you regain possession then your 3 sec starts again.

I don't think the ball has to be loose in the paint, any loose ball will do. If you don't have the ball in your possession you're not on offense

One thing that bothers me is how Duncan seems to be moving his feet a lot without EVER being called for traveling, but everyone else gets it called on them.

Um, George, that has been happening ever since Duncan entered the league. It's like Odom's dribbling when he palms the ball on every bounce. The refs just don't call those violations.
