video made by whiny Phx fan showing numerous calls in Gm 3.
Problem is most of the calls they picked were made correctly.
A few were bad, ie Bowen kneeing Nash in the nutts. Even then, Nash was quoted afterwords as saying he had no problem with the no call.
1. Manu drive for layup. Suns has hand riding softly on GNobs arm. While i would not have called foul, Sun should not have had wrist/hand on GNobs arm. Very ticky tack call.
2. Pic n roll Nash to Amare. Duncan fronts him. Notice the push off by Amare (r arm extend push off) to get around Duncan. No i would not have called that but it helped get Amare around Duncan. D now blocks Amare. Some hand and wrist, but a whole lot of ball. "Hand is part of the ball"? Borderline at best and certainly nothing to whine about. You got stuffed Amare. If you want that foul call on Duncan then you get the push off foul that got you by by Duncan. One or the other, not both in your favor.
3. Flop by Fabs but Amare did step into him and initiate contact. Uneccessary by Stoudamire, he could have got position without it.
4. Bloocking foul on Nash. Nashs left foot slid it at the last second and then flopped D Fisher style. Could have gone either way and i would not complain had Duncan gotten the charge call, but the floppin fag has gotten way more then his share of these calls against the Spurs in this series.
5. Duncan set with ball. Diaw cutting following his man thru plops his arm across Tims back in a failed attempt to steal. Easily a foul on Diaw. What a stupid play to post by Phx fan attempting to show Spurs reffing favoritism.
6. Bowen clears out the crowding Nash with a knee to the vagina. Foul on Bowen, but this type of clear out is allowed 99% of the time in NBA. I don't like it, but Nash was quoted the next day as having no problem with what Bowen did. Bowen did not slam him either, rather just extended. Nash also flopped backwords Derek Swisher style then rolled up on his back Magic Johnson drama queen style for effect. pssssh. Save that for the West Hollywood play productions.
7. It does look like Bowen got Nash on the elbow to knock ball away. Bad call.
8. Bowen and Bob Horry give Nash the one-two and he loses control for turnover. Stop your whining, you lost control on your own.
