Spurs called for 11 fouls the entire game

I'm not saying this is the reason we lost.

It just seems like a really low number.

Ha, I just posted that in the game thread .  It's just like when they had David Stern on the pregame show of one of the games in the 2010 finals, and Tommy asked him about the foul discrepancy against us, and Stern smiled and said, "maybe they just don't foul," and Tommy went, "yeah, okay," and right next to the commissioner on live TV.  AWESOME .  It's the same way with the Spurs, the Heat, the Bulls, any team that Lebron plays on - they just don't foul .  GIVE ME A BREAK!

yeah, we're not getting much respect out there. Plus Stevens is not what you'd call a vocal complainer.
(We need Tommy on the bench)

Maybe if we penetrated into the paint more...

Every team gets shafted at times, but in general, fortune favors the aggressive. Teams that mostly settle for outside shots aren't going to get a lot of trips to the foul line.

They would have still crushed us.

Thornton drove into the paint and got clobbered.

I think the champs get too much "respect."

Lebron is on another level.

He once went FIVE GAMES without being called for a foul.

Haha, I know.  Iirc, he's actually had 2 different streaks of going about 5-6 games in a row without committing a foul in both Cleveland and Miami, and then looks incredulous when he is finally whistled for an infraction for the first time in 2-3 weeks, lol .  That's Jordan and Kareem territory.  Ugh.

I saw that number, too, but what's weird is this game seemed more even and fairly officiated than several other games we've had (Dallas, Portland, Cleveland). That one foul they called on Olynyk when Irving ran into him in the Cleveland game was the worst call I've ever seen.
