Were the Spurs Being Charitable?

Truth is stranger than fiction ... I'm just thinking outside the box. Maybe you all are a bit too naïve. And for the Spurs, I don't think home court is as big a deal as other teams. The best teams can win anywhere. I remember in 1969, the Celtics didn't have home court advantage in any of their playoff series and won the championship.
 
Who cares? I don't care if they packaged the win up real nice with pretty paper and a sparkly bow and handed it to us on a silver platter.
We needed a win...and we got one.










But no...why the hell would they do that.
 
The Spurs are in a dogfight with Memphis, Golden State and Houston. Don't think they'll hand us a win as a favor when they know we're tanking.

Maybe they're trying to upset our tank.
 
It's part of the long con. Remember to extend their championship window the Spurs have sent out Little Spurs drone front office guys and coaches. Anywhere they land they begin preaching rebuild through draft. Orlando, Philly, utah. All have Spurs ties.

So occasionally the spurs mole needs a little help. Heck, greg was probably about to lose patients with the rebuild and trade Enes and Burke, to Detroit for Josh Smith and Jennings. Well, when DOL caught wind of it he called the motherland and the motherland said they would take care of things. Suddenly Tony Parker is "injured" and Manu is chucking up prayers and throwing turnovers on every side. Pops feigns anger just to seal the deal and the Jazz get a taste of victory that will keep the long con going for atleast 3 more spurs victories. It is all so simple.
 
The weird thing is people on the Spurs board were complaining that the refs gave the jazz the win. Maybe fans truly are biased, because I really thought the majority of the bad calls went against the Jazz.

Absolutely. Those calls on Favors were some of the worst I've seen this year. And Manu was allowed his traditional quota of flops.

In all fairness, the travel call on Duncan was pretty weak (the palming call on Exum was equally weak), as were a few other calls that went the Jazz' way. But overall, I think the Jazz were hurt by the refs. WTH happened to the NBA's anti-flopping rule? Does it still exist?

Look at any game thread. Win or lose, it doesn't matter. I dare you to find one where there are fewer than 5 complaints about how the refs are conspiring against the Jazz. I've also noticed that the frequency with which one complains about calls is inversely proportional to his intelligence. It is one of the best way to gauge whether someone's opinion is worth reading or not.
