Hear that?
No?
Oh well.
… That sound you did not hear emanating from the southern U.S. was thousands of fans in Phoenix and New Orleans completely failing to summon up a collective cry of concern and outrage on behalf of the San Antonio Spurs.

You know it’s pretty pathetic when the playoffs are overshadowed by headlines of Joakim Noah.
Yeah, I’m finding it hard to summon up the will to care much. Edit: I’ve watched some Celtics/Pistons, but it makes it hard to converse with mW, as he refuses to be in the room when the NBA is on.
Haven’t watched a game since last Monday, but just saw the replay. That was hilarious.
Karma for the floppers.
“He didn’t sell the call enough!” is all I’m seeing around the internet.
Oh, I weep for the irony. *snort*
Bah. Fisher’s shot kissed the rim at the other end, so the Lakers should’ve had a new 24, meaning the Spurs would’ve had to foul, meaning Barry shouldn’t have had a chance to mik anything but his granma’s ol’ Bessie on the farm. No calls everywhere. What’s a fan to do?…
I’m gonna go and skin up with J-No. Give me a holler if his parents come home…
I agree with saltandcarbon (legal disclaimer: his first comment…). It’s pretty hard to get upset about one call that “costs you the game” when you were the beneficiary of a call that gave you that chance to win it in the first place.
Plus, the Spurs have gotten plenty of good calls this Playoffs in the first two rounds. Minus of course the one game that Pop felt the need to complain about, when he “never” complains about calls. No one ever said the man’s not smart.
Or as ticktock has told me someone out there on the world wide web remarked: maybe it was just someone pushing the Stern Button.

Mark:
THE FLOP IS STOPPED. I saw it this morning. Great news, if they can enforce it consistently.
mW:
Here’s the Stern Button.
@ Mark and ticktock: awesome.
Although I was somewhat befuddled why the flop article started with a picture of Sheed? I get Varejao below…
mW: See a couple posts up. He made an (expletive) speech about the (expletive) officiating.
Meh. He’s not a flopper. They should have led with a picture of a flopper.
