Its halftime, the score is 53-47 with the Lakers up by 6. Kobe just made a jumper over Ginobili. One thing is for sure, the Spurs are one of the most annoying teams. Just watching a single half; I cannot stand the team. They are too sheltered by the media where all the broadcasters just seem to love the Spurs. All game long, all the analysts and commentators talk about how poised these Spurs are, how Parker is unstoppable, how Ginobili is due for a great game because he is a competitor and how Duncan has been bored in the regular season and needs a challenge that comes with the playoffs. Screw that! The Spurs are just protected by the referees and the NBA organization.
I mean, I watched game 3 on Sunday when Ginobili miraculously started draining 3’s. Three pointers are such a crucial part of the Spurs game. Just look at how they beat the Hornets in game 7, nothing but three’s! The fascinating thing is how the ref’s keep protecting the Spurs. First, we got the horrible and blatant traveling done by Ginobili every time he gets into the lane. Call the travel dammit! And it is contagious because just now, in game 4, Duncan supposedly dunked from the top of the free throw line. That is TRAVELING! There is nothing exciting about the Spurs except to see how much they are able to get away with. Just because they are the defending champions which is bullshit because technically, they should have lost to the Hornets already.
How much does the Spurs get away with? From Bruce Bowen’s dirty play like sticking his leg to a jumpshooter to Robert Horry being a calculating check artist. Sure, its just legitimate plays but calculated at certain times it can be morally unethical plays that can end a career. Not a believer, go on YouTube, type in the key words, ‘dirty’, ‘Spurs’, ‘bruce’, ‘horry’ or any combination of those and you can see all the videos users submitted.
Just needed to vent, half-time will be over soon and Lakers will win this series in Los Angeles next game. Thats right, I’m calling that Lakers will win this game and the next.
