Hey, does anyone remember how the Suns got absolutely screwed over by the NBA referees in the 2007 playoffs — and likely the 2005 and 2006 playoffs as well — most notably in that second round series against the San Antonio Spurs?
The Phoenix Suns were the best team in basketball in 2007, but somehow they lost to an excellent but not quite as good Spurs team in part because a lot of ‘go either way’ calls went against them in that second round series.
In that series, the Phoenix Suns had home court advantage but lost all three close games: game one at home (111-106), game three in San Antonio (108-101) and game five at home (88-85).
