Spurs going back to the Finals wow, Memphis is a good team but the Spurs made them look stupid. I hope the Spurs win the whole thing.

If Parker stays hot and they contain James then they will.

Can the Spurs play 8 on 5? will they be able to stop Joey Crawford and Dick Bavetta?

It's amazing. Other than a few bad calls, including a couple company man specials; the Spurs/Grizzlies was called really well; especially by NBA standards. If the Spurs play the Heat, all of the sudden we'll see controversial calls and non calls galore.

Stern doesn't care about Memphis or San Antonio so he was willing to let them just play ball, if it was the Spurs and OKC I promise you it would have been a different story.

Ironically, Stern's cheating to get the Lakers into the playoffs, helped the Spurs this year. It gave them a cake match-up and they were fresher for the following rounds.

Yup. Just like Game 6 last year when the Spurs were building momentum and the refs molly coddled the Thunder for the final 17 minutes.

Stern stabbed himself in the foot, got to love it. He must have thought the Lakers could pull off a miracle run to the finals if they just got to the playoffs.

He knew it was great ratings either way had Kobe not been injured.

It's funny the angles that the media gets desperate to sell. How many times did they compare Mike Conley to Tony Parker. It's obvious that Parker has a much higher motor and skill set.

Did you see that 24 second violation Joey Crawford gave Indiana? that ball clearly touched the rime, this cheating is really out of hand and its so obvious, even worse than a WWE wrestling bout, at least those guys try to make it look real.

They can review that too and just chose not to. That was a momentum killer too. That's the what the company men do though.

It's sickening to watch the media pretend that Paul George is such a great player. They're so desperate. And the NBA announced that he was All NBA 3rd Team here late in the playoffs.

Paul George:

Reg season: 17.4 ppg 41.9 FG
Playoffs: 18.9 ppg 41.3 FG

Player Comparison Per 36 Mins

Paul George: 16.7 ppg, 41.9 FG, 36.2 3FG
Jimmer Fredette: 18.4 ppg, 42.1 FG, 41.7 3FG

That almost tilted the game too, Miami went on an 11-0 run right after and almost stole the game. This is what people don't get when company men rig a game they don't have to give every call to the Heat or the Lakers, just a couple bad calls like this right in the heat of the game could swing the game in their favor.

He's a key component. Just saying, the media is so desperate to elevate anyone to star status.

Oh I agree, funny how Bird Man is all of a sudden a top 5 center too right?

LOL. Exactly. The Heat's lack of a center may finally cost them.

They've been masking this weakness since Lebron came down there, Chris Bosh is a pussy and they were the weakest rebounding team this year even worse than the Celtics.

The refs allow the Heat to constantly bump and wrestle their opponents much more to make up for it.

Yup, Boston would have defeated Miami last year in the playoffs if the series was called fairly. Game 2 last year was one of the worst officiated games I ever seen in my life.

Ironically, it was about the time of the ten year anniversary of the worst officiated game in history - 02 WCF Game 6. And reporters were asking Stern about it. And he said he might recollect one or two missed calls. That guy is such a phony.
