18 turnovers to just 5 for the Mavs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We out shot them, out rebounded them, took and made more FT's, hit more 3 balls and still lost.


This is the season from hell :bang:bang

Yeah that was the only stat that I could think about watching the game slip away down the stretch. In light of that disparity it's a miracle that they even forced OT. I fear that will continue to be the trend if the Spurs are without the services of their two best ballhandlers and playmakers for any amount of time.

[LOL@MavsFan]

How many FTs did Dirk get there in the 4th and OT? That's the stat I want to see. Duncan's getting bodied up and pushed around and Dirk just has to drive in to get a whistle. I guess I should expect that. Happens every time the Mavs-Spurs play and it's close.

no parker and hill in foul trouble..mason sucks as a ball handler.

[SamoanTD]

those refs was on some shit last night man foreal that shit made me sick but cant do nothing bout it now lets jus worry about the jazz

[DesignatedT]

turnovers was definitely the stat the cost us the game

[silverblackfan]

The refs were crap. We had at least 4 traveling calls, 2 on Bonner, 1 on Malik which were pretty sketchy. Anyone know how many traveling calls per team there were? Is there a site for that?

[TJastal]

Well if its any consolation the refs whisted Nowitzki on a foul on Bogans taking a 3pt shot and Nowitzki did not touch Bogans at all.

[TJastal]

And then there was the weird "kick ball" violation they called on Nowitzki when Hill crossed over his dribble and it hit Nowitzki's foot.

For a "kick ball" I believe the defensive player has to physically move his foot and look like he's attempting to kick at the ball, which didn't happen in this case.

the rebound-advantage for the spurs was 50 - 49. that is not really impressive.
the more important numbers are:

offensive rebounds:
mavs 17 - spurs 8

points in the paint:
mavs 46 - spurs 22

fast-break points:
mavs 18 - spurs 7

an interesting number is the shots taken by team:
mavs 100 - spurs 78

a result of the disparity in turnovers and OReb.

Are you sure? It sure looked like Dirk hit Bogans on the head as we went by.
Still, I don't think it wasn't the calls that cost the game... more like shoddy ball handling.

Dirk got zero FT's in the 4th and 4 in OT. In total : 4
Duncan got 6 in the 4th and zero in OT. In total: 6

[dirk4mvp]

It had to be the refs that made SA turn the ball over that many times.

I watched the game, there were so many 'travel' calls on the spurs that are the normal extra step allowed in most nba games it made me want to puke.
