The officials did suck in that game, so did the crew announcing the game for that matter. How do you not tell us Melo is sitting cause he is in foul trouble?
Even with the "Kobe" officiating the Nuggets should of won this game going away. That was the worse game Ive seen Chauncey play in a long time and it couldnt have come at a worse time. Bad shots, poor rebounding, dumb fouls and a ton of missed shots killed the Nuggets.
This series is over the Nuggets would have to win the next 3 to win the series or win a game 7 in LA and neither of those things are likely.

Why would you hate a team because of their fans? That's stupid.
No, the cocky fan-base comes with the territory of a winning team. The hatred (jealousy) comes from wishing their sorry teams were on the level of the Lakers (or Cowboys). At least history-wise.
There were bad calls going both ways. See the JR Smith airball out of bounds that was curiously called out on the Lakers.
Speaking of JR, how hilarious was it to see him get T'd up for screaming at Vujacic after hitting that 3 to end the 3rd quarter? Predictably stupid move from one of the most classless piles of garbage the NBA has to offer.

The Spurs vs. Suns playoff series a few years ago where the NBA fixed the series turned me off forever. I hate the Suns, but I don't want to see a league fix a series. I swapped several e-mails with Rod Thorn after I wrote the NBA offices.Avaj;2786100 said:

No. They fixed it to where the winner was a foregone conclusion. It was not in their best interests to do so. It doesn't mean they didn't accomplish exactly that with the suspensions they handed down.MC KAos;2786454 said:so the league fixed it where the spurs, a team who gets absolutely no ratings, would go on instead of the suns, who were a ratings machine???
I don't care if they follow the letter of the law in the regular season. In the playoffs they owe the fans and players the best possible series and competition.
We didn't get it.

i can understand you being upset with the suspensions, but it is a rule, and it doesnt say in the rule book that it should be different in the playoffs. i would have liked to have seen stoudamire in there too, but when people make the argument that the suns lost only because of that suspension there are two things that those people forget about.
1)the suns played great in game 5, and a big reason of why they led most of the way is because kurt thomas was playing most of the minutes that stoudamire would have played. Kurt thomas was a very good defender and one of only 3 players who kept duncan in check defensively during his prime (the others being rasheed wallace and KG). anyway the strategy for the spurs against the suns has always been to let amare go off and shut down the rest of the guys (hence his monster numbers vs us, but people like nash and marion and barbosa being shut down) and seeing as we have beat them in the playoffs three times in a row id say its a great strategy
2)most importantly, if the suns were a better team, they should have come back and won game 5, they had their guys back while we were still missing robert horry, who was still a decent contributor at the time. its not an accident that the suns are only 4-12 in the last three playoff series against us, we are just better. just like the mavs are just plain better this year than us.
again i understand the frustration, but i think to say the league fixed it purposely so that the spurs would win is just not right. and im glad they suspended them, not just because im a spurs fan, but because they didnt bend the rules because of the situation. one of my biggest pet peeves about the NBA is how rules change all of the sudden because of the situation of the game. in the NFL, a pass interference is a pass interference no matter what quarter it is or who the home team is (unless its the steelers that is :laugh2
