Ball Don't Lie - NBA


A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Food Court Lunch. Tim Duncan would like to speak to your manager, please. He has some pants to return.
PF: Ballhype. This just in: Chris Paul is pretty good at this little sport we like to call basketball.
SF: Charlotte Observer. For the one-thousandth time, people: Julius Hodge is going to light up the NBA. Book it.
SG: Dime. There are whisperings of a new Spike Lee/Michael Jordan documentary. 
PG: X's and O's. 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... analyzing Duncan's super-slow-mo free throw technique. 
6th: The Dirty. This gossip site claims to have uncovered some major dirt on Kobe. Proceed with caution.
7th: West Coast Bias. Was that more of a Lakers' comeback or Spurs meltdown last night?
8th: The FanHouse. Theo Ratliff has his on energy drink. The more you know ...
9th: Jones on the NBA. Magic Johnson lives and dies with every LA make or miss.
10th: Marine Corps News. More Magic: "I can have as many Whoppers as I want," Johnson said, to laughter, but added with seriousness: "It’s because I got my education." That's 'Quote of the Year' material, folks.

    The spurs got robbed last night! Sure they lost the lead but the refs give the game to LA in the final minute with the no call foul on Duncan under the basket, and then gave the ball back to LA. No calls when Pal pushed Ginobli out of bounds, and when Ginobli was tackled going for the ball in the final seconds. The NBA wants the Celtics and the Lakers, thats just fine I will be one less fan watching!

    Brian t - Like the NBA Cares if 1 less dumba$$ Spurs fan like you would be watching the NBA Finals, all the Spurs and their fans are good at is cry about referees not making their calls. It went both ways last night dumba$$. The NBA will gain a billion fans around the world if Lakers and Celts are in the finals so conspiracy theorist like you could watch WNBA. hahaha

    Brian, no offense, but the officials aren't the reason why the Spurs collapsed. Maybe you should blame your team for missing countless shots and blowing a 20-point lead, not the officials (the officiating, truth be told, was not bad at all last night). Better luck in game 2, maybe.

    The refs made some bad calls Wednesday night but they ALWAYS make bad calls!!! I don't blame them for our collapse. In fact, I blame our team SOMEWHAT for the bad calls because refs are human (believe it or not) and many times they flow with the game; if you play aggressive, many times you get the calls.
    Lets hope we are able to overcome that loss and beat LA tonight!!!

    #3 Brain Come on don't turn into one of those cry baby Suns fans. Did you ever play b-ball or any sport..I doubt it,
    If that's the way you feel then leave the NBA and go over to MLB or the NFL or better yet go be a fan of your local little team and scream at the umpires all day.
