suns 2 - spurs 4

The refs beat the Suns again. It was a tough match-up, but the refs pulled it out. Way to go refs! They were an awesome reffing team tonight, as well as throughout the entire series, favoring the Spurs, not calling fouls that were blatantly obvious, calling ticky-tack fouls on the Suns. The refs had the Spurs win by 8, 114 - 106. If the refs had called a good series, the Suns would have completely dominated this series, as shown by the best-called game, game 2, where the Suns won by 20. It pisses me off to think that the refs won the series. I can't believe that the NBA would allow these refs to call the kind of games that they did. Bruce Bowen was all over Nash, not in simply good defensive pressure, but by placing both hands on Nash at the same time and slapping at and hitting Nash's arms almost each time down the floor. I've never seen Nash that upset. Nash is a level headed player who respects the refs and the game, but this series has shown Nash to be infuriated at the calls and no-calls that these refs were responsible for. The Spurs, supported by their 6th man, the NBA refs, will now go on to face the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Finals, but it shouldn't have been. What a waste of incredible talent on pathetic refs. Congratulations, refs, you stole a good series! Suns, you had a great season. I apologize for stupid people, namely these refs ::cough::, and look forward to what you can accomplish next season, as Nash will take MVP again. Have a great summer off; I know I will (and my wife will appreciate me not yelling at the TV anymore). Still, what a crappy way to have your season ended for you by the refs.
