D'antoni never calls timely timeouts

D'antoni never calls timely timeouts

Tell me about it. He waits for the whole lead to evaporate before he calls it.

 

[jbeecham]

How that ******** call changed the momentum of the game. F*** Spurs, F*** refs.

It happens every time we play the Spurs, we get a lead and then the refs give it back. They refuse to call another foul on Duncan because he already has 3. Then they call phantom fouls against the Suns. So much illegal defense on the Spurs with no calls and 3 seconds on offense on the Spurs with only 1 call. They don't call the Spurs for over the backs or shove in the backs when going for rebounds. Marion gets raped under the basket by 3 Spurs with no call.

i hate banks..

 

[arwillan]

I think the worst part of raja going down is the fact that banks now MUST be in the game. Did you see that play at the end of the 3rd there? he had a nice drive and a decent look at the basket but couldn't finish a simple layup. like d'antoni said, its just not the same without nash in the game.

 

[dodie53]

is bell out for the game?

 

[jbeecham]

Nice move by Banks to start the 4th. Bell is out for the game.

 

[arwillan]

is bell out for the game?

yep

 

[schwalbhimself]

i heart banks

 

[schwalbhimself]

<3

******** they need to stop traveling

 

[jbeecham]

Banks on Parker, lets see what he can do. HOW MANY TRAVELS ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AGAINST US!!!!! 13 so far.

 

[arwillan]

13 turnovers, so hard to win that way

 

[dodie53]

travelling by banks..... argh

GINOBILI IS A PIECE OF ...........Intentional knee to the groin

 

[arwillan]

wow, poor amare. i felt that all the way over here in los angeles. I didnt think a technical was necessary there, however

 

[az1965]

I'd like to see Burks in and hit Ginobili on nose with his elbow on his next drive...

 

[arwillan]

did they just call a foul on tim duncan? my heart skipped a beat from the shock of that. now if they would just give him 2 more

 

[dodie53]

is that a black eye on ginobili?
that from kobe?

i didnt think it was intentional, even though i dont know why he lead with his knee in the air. i mean thats is just screaming injury. we got the lead, this is when the true potential of our team will come out. against an elite team at home deep into the fourth.should be a very entertaining finish

You don't lead like that with your knee on a layup attempt. It's an unnatural basketball move to force contact with the defender.

 

[arwillan]

so he wanted contact, thats just simply trying to draw a foul. doesnt mean he wants to knee anyone in the groin. Ginobili is a classy player, not the dirty type who'd try and hurt someone on purpose

You forgot the sarcasm smiley

 

[arwillan]

You forgot the sarcasm smiley

i guess we'll just agree to disagree

 

[arwillan]

wow, very nice screen by nash, and a nice shot by barbosa.
