I would watch four more games against them. Those games against the Spurs have been fun even if we lost.

I didn't catch last night's game but heard about Mauer's little power trip. And watching that vid....wow, and what's sad is that pretty much opened that game up. I mean from 6 to an 11 point deficit in 10 seconds, that sucks.

I watched like the first half or so, and it was clear even then that Darko just wasn't going to be allowed to play defense on Duncan. The refs have been beating us up all season. This is just making it official.

Remember when the refs almost went on strike and the replacement refs came in and called it straight?? That's how it should be. Fire all the refs and get their replacements in. Period.

In Germany we always sing "Schiri wir wissen wo dein Auto stand - hat gut gebrannt" (which means: Ref we know where you car stood - it burned well It rhymes in German.) if the ref f*cks up the game.Is there anything like that in the US? Mauer should be greeted like that the next time he visits Minnesota.

The problem was he was the only one making any calls either. He was the one calling the fouls on Darko, even if one of the other refs should have. To then start handing Ts out like that...

Look, as a former player I know what it's like to get a technical and, especially if you're already angry, it's just a giant middle finger. To have it come from the same (Please Use More Appropriate Word) that was blatantly biased only makes it worse. The league should definitely review this, but I somehow doubt they will and the sad thing is that if this happened against LA, Boston or the HEAT the guy probably would have been fired on the spot.

And then to see Duncan jumping up and down like an upset school girl when he almost broke Michael's ankle with his foot and "somehow" got called for a foul...ugh, I hate the NBA and it's double standards. If stuff like this continues this season and then they top it off with a long term lock out, I'm done.

The funny thing is, he didn't even get called for a foul on that play, he was complaining about some other call.
