Free Throws for Mavs

[SpursDynasty]

28 free throw attempts for Dallas, 6 free throw attempts for the Spurs. Interesting. Easily the worst officiated opening playoff round game so far.

Why do so many people think that quoting a disparity in FTs is "proof" of biased or poor officiating?

Hint: disparity in FTs, or close to even FTs, or more FTs for a team that usually shoots fewer, etc. is proof of exactly nothing, especially in one game.

If you want to whine about officiating, give me clock/players/play and be specific.

This idea that FTs are somehow supposed to be "even" or something is just absurd.

U know what bothers me about this game? J. Kidd who lost tons of speed in the last few years, is able to go for layups so easily against T.P. and Mason. They are making J. Kidd look like those glory days when he was a New Jersey Net. They need to step up and keep one guy on him. If they don't severe consequences will happen in this series. When he goes inside and Duncan has to help, Kidd will pass of to Damp or Haywood for an easy 2.

The officiating is favoring the Mavs tonight. But you guys were playing hack-a-damp, so the overall number of free throws is bloated.

Doesnt really matter when pop is putting a bunch of midgets on Dirk. LOL at dick jefferson making 14 mil a year for doing absolutely nothing

[dmavs41]

some of that was hack a damp though(12), good thing you guys have mason and boner though

34 free throws for Dallas compared to only 14 for the Spurs, most of which came when the game was out of reach and Dallas only wins by 6. I don't think this Dallas team is anything to worry about. When the game is fairly officiated and one team doesn't shoot 20 more free throws, the Spurs will dominate.

6 FT were hacking Damp at that point.

Spurs got some calls near the end to make things look even but the refs can't hide the bullshit they did :downspin:

[Ghazi]

Refs were fine for the most part :)

worst call of night: charge on Matrix when Blair's foot was on the line :D

Spurs quite frankly didnt draw enough shooting fouls.

I thought Duncan maybe deserved a few more FT's. but there wasnt biased officiating

[mavsfan1000]

Hack a Damp bitches. lol The Spurs have no that can guard Dirk fairly.

Dallas got home cooking and that's that, hopefully these ref fags don't bring this shit to SA or it's over in 4.

What bothers me is that the Spurs had more points in the paint than the Mavs, by about 10-14.....it was clear the Spurs were attacking the basket, and yet the FT disparity was +20 for the Mavs. Now of course 6 of those were gimmes by the Spurs. So it was actually a +14 FT disparity.

What also bothers me is some of the foul calls for Dirk, there was no contact. Dirk shoots that fade away the same as Hakeem, Jordan, and Kobe...yet none of those 3 ever got or get the calls Dirk does with the same exact shot. It boggles my mind.



But FTs aside....the Spurs missed a bunch of layups. They had a ton of turnovers and gave up a ton of points on turnovers. Yes Dirk was going off, but they gave Kidd and Terry wide open 3s all game long.

I am actually surprised the Spurs only lost by 6.

only few attempts were hack a damp. Dirk was on fire no denying it but he got a lot of minimal contact fouls called. he had more free throws than the spurs team had together and he hardly drived to the basket.

of course you have that opinion....if the FT situation was the other way around, you would take the same stance as we are.

dampier had almost, if not all of his FTS from hack-a-damp, you fucking idiot (12 ftas)

you are a dumbass, they only fouled him 3 times (6 FTs) on purpose. Mason was the only one to foul him and Mason went from 1 to 4 fouls. The rest of the free throws were in the flow of the game.

Dampier went 4-6 and so Pop stopped with the strategy.

The rest were intentional fouls as well to prevent a dunk from Dampier.

You? Because I scored and you turned it over every time and never passed even though you sucked at everything.

But at least you were handsome.

LMAO i scored like almost all of our teams points every game because everyone else was so fucking incapable of scoring. not to mention the court being like 2 feet wide, and the other team fouling the shit out of all of us

your avatar makes me want to get violent.....i have never hated a Spur player before, but i hate RJ...i did before he was a Spur and I still do.

[DPG21920]

crofl justification.

[Flux451]

34 total mavs FTs
12 for Damp
12 for Dirk

14 total Spurs FTs

Spurs didn't lose just because of less FT's but Spurs frontline got out rebounded.
Spurs didn't play well as a team. "dogs" didn't show up.
