    Atrocious officiating. Harden needs to play smarter. Commentators need to get off Spurs nut sacks - they're only up 4.

    Force the refs to call what? An offensive foul?

    That was a brutal first half offensively. Those Nene jumpers had me shaking my head. What... like 4 of them in a span of 5 minutes?

    2nd best offense in the league looks like **** because the refs are letting the spurs murder anything in the paint.

    Refs have been flat out terrible. Really questioning if it's rigged at this point.

    And I'm here live.

    you would to if you knew the refs were giving you the worst treatment ever for 2 straight games. i seem to remember the spurs getting terrible ratings. why exactly do they get anything they want? 28 other teams can be called for fouls against harden, but not san antonio? pau gasol can draw offensive fouls on 3's where he walks into harden? did they ever show a replay that showed anything on james?

    He doesn't actually get off the ground when he shoots jumpers

    Honestly, everyone playing like trash but Ariza... lucky to only be down 4.

    James needs to try more midrange.. I know it's against our "philosophy" but way too many 3s and he's not getting any calls or having any luck down low

    It's hard to win when you're playing 5 on 8.

    Harden is not creating his own shot enough. He's immediately looking to pass... Even when after his initial drove he's open by the free throw line... He just looks to dump the ball off....

    Good defensive half.

    The offense probably would have been less ugly if we just ran all Ariza isos. And that's saying something.

    silver/refs have completely taken our inside game away. sperms allowed to foul on every possession without penalty

    He's getting absolutely whacked inside with no foul calls. Gasol has whacked Harden, nene, and Capela on separate plays that I've seen, with no foul calls. The amount of hacking being allowed is killing our game in the paint.
