Does the name Tim Donaghy ring any bells?

No?

I know how recollection can be sometimes, hence the reading materials I collected for you

Here's a couple particularly interesting excerpts:

Donaghy on whether the 2007 Spurs-Suns series was stolen from Phoenix:

TD: I write in the book that there’s no doubt I feel the Phoenix Suns were the best team in in the league in 2007. And that whole series was officiated poorly, and I give the reasons in the book as to why I feel it was officiated poorly. And one of the reasons is that Tommy Nunez was the supervisor of officials in that series. And he had a dislike for the (Suns) owner Robert Sarver, and he enjoyed the lifestyle in San Antonio, and liked to get back in the next round of the playoffs and continue to go to San Antonio. So it was a situation that he was steering the series to San Antonio in tape sessions.

Excerpts From The Book The NBA Doesn't Want You To Read

My favorite Tommy Nunez story is from the 2007 playoffs when the San Antonio Spurs were able to get past the Phoenix Suns in the second round. Of course, what many fans didn't know was that Phoenix had someone working against them behind the scenes. Nunez was the group supervisor for that playoff series, and he definitely had a rooting interest.

Nunez loved the Hispanic community in San Antonio and had a lot of friends there. He had been a referee for 30 years and loved being on the road; in fact, he said that the whole reason he had become a group supervisor was to keep getting out of the house. So Nunez wanted to come back to San Antonio for the conference finals. Plus, he, like many other referees, disliked Suns owner Robert Sarver for the way he treated officials. Both of these things came into play when he prepared the referees for the games in the staff meetings. I remember laughing with him and saying, "You would love to keep coming back here." He was pointing out everything that Phoenix was able to get away with and never once told us to look for anything in regard to San Antonio. Nunez should have a championship ring on his finger.

Lockout year

You fakkits forgot the Kings series?

 

[hood b. goode]

My thing is You can't be a dynasty when there is another team who won 3 straight(and then 2 straight) and won the head to head match ups in the playoffs during your run

A dynasty is not defined by winning against every team

its winning consistenly

Spurs won in 99, 03, 05, 07 with the same core

Hell, still have em now. Haven't broken down and 're builded'

You fakkits forgot the Kings series?

We won that series fair and square :sas3:

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any of these fakkits you speak of sir. I'm a Knick fan, no emotions involved over here

 

[Torrential]

that nikka Phil said the spurs play "broke back mountain basketball."

 

[dem bath salts]

But they didn't.

so what, that's not the point. He said you cant be a dynasty without repeating, his premise is wrong. fuc the spurs, im just saying if a team wins ten titles, every odd year, that team is a dynasty. repeat has nothing to do with it. All he hd to say was the spurs is not a dynasty, dont throw in that repeat bullshyt tho.

So... No evidence of refs cheating just some less than circumstantial talk about a Mexican who likes Texas.
