    Verily I say unto you, the great Harden giveth, and the great Harden taketh away.

    Both.

    We could've won the game with the crap officiating but who the eff turns the ball over so much?

    I just added a third choice. I think a 7 man rotation crippled us in such a classic punch-trading game.

    7 man rotation, you could tell, was a huge effect on OT.

    Definitely the hero ball. Yet the Danny Green three won it for them, which they only got because they didn't call Aldridge's blatant grab of Harden on the other end.

    Didn't vote because ALL Of The Above should be an option.

    7 Man rotation was bad

    Harden was too tired towards the end

    Refs didn't help. San Antonio gets gets away with more fouls than any team i've ever seen. Im really surprised they don't lead the league in fouls considering how much reaching in they do. They get the no calls based on reputation from the past, this spurs team is NOT disciplined defensively like other spurs teams.

    There has to be a little bit of controversy for a thread to be entertaining. :cool:

    If you're struggling to pick, select which ever one pissed you off most!

    I dunno, did the refs tell Harden to hold the ball until 5 seconds left on the shot clock and jack up threes

    That offense in OT was unacceptable.

    We deserved to lose.

    The green foul at the end was such a bogus call
