Do you think the reffing was fair in games 1 & 2 (overall)

I'm not a Suns or a Spurs fan but I find it remarkable that many people in here will NEVER accept the fact the the officiating is NOT the reason why the Suns lost. I have read probably 6-7 different threads in here and in each one, there is ALWAYS someone blaming the refs for not calling an even game. And some posters even say that the officiating was even and they don't blame that for the Suns being down 2-0 in this series. Then they throw in the "But" if they would have called more of the hacks on (throw in Spurs player name here) or is the officials wouldn't allow (throw another player name here) we would have won the game. Are the Spurs the Suns most hated team? I only ask, because there are nothing but conspiracy theories and complaints about them here from a handful of posters. Do these same conspiracy theories exist for other teams in the NBA? Or only the Spurs? I honestly don't know.

Did all these theories begin because of last years great series between the Suns & Spurs? And finally, do fans from other teams the Spurs eliminated from the playoffs in the past share the same conspiracy theory? I ask that cause I have yet to meet a fan of the Nuggets, Jazz, or whoever else the Spurs have knocked out of the playoffs in the past share these same thoughts or find everything else to blame their woes on rather than the simple fact that the Spurs were simply the better team.

Reading these threads for the past hour or so, I'm sure that what I posted is going to piss a lot of you off or your gonna call me a troll or something. Especially with this being my first post and all. But honestly, I am just curious, thats all.

there's fans on every message board for every sport who always complain about the refs when they lose. it comes with the territory.

It is way more prevelent here. But to be honest, there are a lot of suns fans here who call it like it is and talk ball. It's a handful of guys, always the same guys who go to every thread with their "we were robbed" posts.

It's one thing to say the officiating in the NBA is terrible. I dont think you can find many people who wouldnt agree. It's completely another to follow that up with.... "and they particulary pick on us and at the NBA's direction".

But again, it's always the same 4 or 5 guys and the majority of thier posts are nothing but complaints that have nothing to do with reality.

game 2 was much better than game one, very few awarded flops, missed calls. Overall a few were missed, but those were on both sides. The suns clearly blew game 2 themselves and were outplayed badly. You really cant say losers complain about calls, the champs do it on every play, and by definition they are not losers are they?

the champs don't do it after the game as well do they? We've seemingly become the king of that after our crying act after the Detroit game and Shaq's "flopping" act after Game 1.

I've been to a lot of boards and it's no more prevelant here than it is anywhere else, especially for fans who's teams continually play for the highest stakes.
