LOL I love Harden but he has to realize that tough guy act isn't fooling anyone - Jack would kill him then go on eating his dinner :lol:

Haven't seen SA this badly out of rhythm on offense all season.

The officiating in this game has been horribly inconsistent. I have no problem with the refs picking an officiating style (calling it "loose", etc.), but they need to keep it the same throughout the entire game.

It looked like OKC was getting robbed early and at the end of the first half, but in the middle San Antonio could not buy a call. Duncan's getting murdered on the block by Collison. MAKE THE RIGHT CALL.

Yeah and then they suddenly starting calling all these ridiculous ticky tack offensive fouls. Horrendous half from the officials.

Another horrible call resetting the shot clock for the Spurs.

Yeah, exactly. It's been extremes with these refs so far. ticky tack fouls or no fouls at all.

Then SA randomly gets the shot clock restarted? Wtf is going on....this is very poor officiating.

Parker's been as bad tonight as he has been good the rest of the series.

Leonard one dribble step back 3 - that was exactly the shot the Spurs needed there :nonono:

OKC is the sickness at home.

Is it just me or does everyone else get a feeling of joy seeing Sjax playing NBA not wearing a bucks jersey?

OKC are playing very well but the Spurs have been just awful. Duncan missing open 6 footers, Parker tossing the ball away every second possession, Manu with virtually no impact, guys missing wide open 3's when the defense clogs the lane - just terrible for the Spurs. I guess they were due.

Not really. Considering he's getting valuable minutes on a likely NBA champion. Why would that make you happy?

All it reminds me of is the awful sequence from his acquisition to his trade.

I'd be a lot happier if seeing his face didn't remind me of how Hamboned used him to destroy two trades.

paul · Post #2595 » by **paul** » Fri Jun 1, 2012 2:47 am

Jack was terrible for us and we (by we I mean Skiles) handled the situation just about as badly as anyone could possibly have handled it - then Hammond diluted the value of our best player by adding him to the trade.

Jackson contributing for this season's NBA champion is an indictment on the Bucks, certainly not a positive.

I blame Skiles for a lot in regards to young player minutes, but not S-Jax. From all reports, Skiles never wanted him in the first place. At least that is what I thought the insiders said. Gooden is on Skiles though.

adam10 · Post #2597 » by **adam10** » Fri Jun 1, 2012 2:50 am

Maybe I'm looking at it more as in I'm glad not seeing him play quarters like the one he has in this one for us anymore.

I understand where it's coming from though, how Hammond stuffed up this trade pretty much cost us a place in the playoffs

adam10 · Post #2598 » by **adam10** » Fri Jun 1, 2012 2:52 am

And then he hits two threes in my face, oh god why did I even mention his name

I haven't heard a single one of those reports, I've heard people say they 'presume' Skiles didn't want him.

Skiles came out publicly and said he was incredibly happy to have Jack and that they were both professionals who would work through any disagreements they had - then he plastered his ass to the bench the first disagreement they had, then he played him endless minutes when he was playing terribly, then he plastered his ass to the bench the next disagreement they had, then he played him endlessly when he was playing terribly, then he told him to stay home the next disagreement they had.

Jack is what he is, everyone knew it then and still knows it now. Sadly our head coach is an egotistical child who said he'd deal with it maturely, then dealt with it by proving what a tough guy he is.

It cost us a lot more than that.
