[blizz]

you can't breathe on noWINski

[Bob Lanier]

12 of them going to Erick Dampier through no fault but Pop's.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I expect some whining about the FTs after the game and some adjustment for next game.

[monosylab1k]

Spurs played Hack-A-Damp, if your uneducated faggot N.O. ass knew that, you'd know why there's such a big disparity.

[Brodels]

It hasn't been the best officiated game. Fortunately, it didn't affect the outcome. The Spurs simply haven't played well enough on either end to compete.

Only 8 happened during hack a Damp.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

BRHornet45 I've been meaning to ask you - what was the name of that girl you used to have as signature when the hornets were good?

son which one?

[Bob Lanier]

So which official is to blame for the other 4?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

son which one?

the brunette, big ass - come on you have to remember!

[BRHornet45]

oh and sons take away the hack a Damp and the free throws are STILL lop sided terribly. at least 26 to 10!!! .... there is NO EXCUSE for the difference to be that drastic!

[DPG21920]

No. That accounts for only 6-8.

[Capt Bringdown]

Whine all you must, but in basketball as in life, you gotta focus on the things you can control.

Look at all our players who didn't step up. We're not good enough, and the Mavs kicked our ass.

[BRHornet45]

the brunette, big ass - come on you have to remember!

son that would be the lovely Jaime Koeppe ...

[phxspurfan]

Because Bonner, Bogans and Mason are gonna get to the line like Haywood, Butler and Kidd. Please. We just don't have the weapons against this team. To win A game everyone has to play lights out. To win A game.

no son its only the NBA that you have to worry about "control" ... the refs and league control this game 100%. coaches and players can only do so much.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sweet bro, that accounts for six FTs. But I knew your ass would be trying to defend it.

[sammy]

What was the final total of Free throws?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

son that would be the lovely Jaime Koeppe ..

YESS!!! this will ease my frustration with tonight's game. thanks!

[BRHornet45]

What was the final total of Free throws?

34 to 14 ... kinda hard for ANY team to win whenever the refs are that damn lopsided.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[ajGambino]

Spurs 14 FTA
Mavs 34 FTA

That is just a ridiculous amount. You'd be stupid to think that the refs had nothing to do with the Spurs loss. We couldn't play defense! We look at Dirk and a whistle blows. In the first quarter, we went into the penalty with 8:15 left!!!

This isn't right and it's almost unwatchable to see the Spurs cheated so bad like this.

[benefactor]

Dirk shot almost as many FT's as the whole Spurs team.

[BRHornet45]

son even if you take away the 6-8 "hack a Damp" free throws, that is still an absolutely absurd amount of FREE POINTS awarded to Dallas. like I said, it wouldn't have mattered if the Spurs shot the ball 75% and had a 30 year old Michael Jordan playing SG, the league was determined to push Dallas to victory tonight and they accomplished their goal.

[UnWantedTheory]

We played like shit at times as well. Way to many turnovers, but yes the Refs did fuck us. It was a close game, but not including the Refs, was still ugly to watch. I am not sure how we truly match up with this team...Especially with pop playing Mason, Bonner, & Bogans on the floor at the same time. Our lineups in the third and into the fourth were atrocious IMO. But again, yes even with the hack a damp 3 or 4 times, the calls were terribly in Dallas' favor. That goes way beyond homecourt calls.

[ploto]

Spurs shoot too many jumpshots to get to the line

[BRHornet45]

Spurs shoot too many jumpshots to get to the line

son that's damn near ALL Dirk shot! yet he got to the line 12 times!

[DPG21920]

Spurs shoot too many jumpshots to get to the line

Spurs had more points in the paint than the Mavs. /thattheory

[ploto]

Spurs had more points in the paint than the Mavs. /that theory

IIRC most of those came from offensive rebounds.


son that's damn near ALL Dirk shot! yet he got to the line 12 times!

When Matt Bonner fouls him before he even gets the ball...

[Mixability]

if he's gonna be shooting FTs all night. make the fouls count, enough with the touch fouls.

[Biggems]

oh and sons take away the hack a Damp and the free throws are STILL lop sided terribly. at least 26 to 10!!! .... there is NO EXCUSE for the difference to be that drastic!

especially when Dirks FTs came from fade away shots......not from attacking the rim. The Spurs had over 10 more points in the point and yet shot so many less FTs....insane how one sided the officiating was. I just wish the Mavs fans would stop being such stupid fucking homers and actually admit that they got mad love from the refs tonight.

I can admit the Spurs used to, during their title runs....but the Mavs never admit it, but complain like a bunch of bitches about Dwayne Wade raping them at the charity stripe.

[DMX7]

Dirk drew a foul WHILE setting a screen. You know it's going to be a long night when that happens.

[Waps1980]

If I was a Mavs fan I'd be more worried about why they only beat us by 6 when the charity bus was flying their flag all night. Should have been a 20 point blow out.

The Mavs will always get to the line more than us, but when we can't even play defense unless we don't move or we'll give fouls kinda makes it hard.

exactly! ... Dallas played a "good" game at best, but with the amount of help they received from the officials they should have won the game by 20 or more like you said. if this game would have been called half ass fairly, the Spurs would have won by a good 10 points. no doubt about it.

[TD 21]

and now make that ...

Dallas 30
San Antonio 10

sons don't you dare touch the NBA's white boy! .... the dude has made his living from the free throw line. pathetic

What's most amazing of all is the way he draws free throws. He does it by going away from contact, which defies logic. He's not marketable and despite what Spurs fans may think, he's NOT an all-time great (Hall of Famer, yes, but there is a difference), so the only thing I can think of is what you said. It's just mind boggling. This guy get's far more respect from the officials than Duncan, who's in another stratosphere historically.

Go fuck ur offseason and dont be so annoying.

[BRHornet45]

son I don't like EITHER team. I am just calling it like I see it. ANYONE other than Mavs fans who watched that game tonight could tell the officials were pushing them to victory.

yea it really is pathetic. I don't mean to keep on bashing Dirk because he is a good player, but terribly overrated and receives a ridiculous amount of help from the officials. Maybe if Dirk actually had a post game like a real big man then more people would respect him and it would make more sense as to why he receives tons of free throws.

[elbamba]

The turnovers killed the Spurs. That said, the mavs did not play a great game and but for the stupid turnovers and the fact that fouls shots went one way, the Spurs have a great shot to steal game two.

[Xevious]

It's amazing how a jump shooter (who can shoot over any defender, and routinely fades away) can draw that many fouls.

Regardless, if Dirk shoots damn near perfect from the field the Spurs can't win. I don't expect him to have another game like that, but we still need somebody other than the big three to step up. RJ... come on. You don't need to score 20, but show me something.

This!

[SenorSpur]

The FT disparity is largely the Spurs own doing - or should I say undoing. The Mavs uncharacteristically attacked the basket, thereby getting the Spurs into the penalty early in quarters 1 and 2. Of course, this doesn't apply to Dirk, who was getting his calls by feasting on the tick-tack fouls by Bonner, Mason and a host of others. Many resulted in "and-1" situations.

Meanwhile, the Spurs were busy turning the ball over, dribbling away the shot clock or forcing passes off of pick-n-roll situations into a clogged lane. As far as I'm concerned, the Spurs made that bed for themselves because the shot a higher FG % than the Mavs for most of the entire game.

It's still very uneven dickhead!

[MateoNeygro]

I'm slowly beginning to realize that the Mavs are to the Spurs as the Spurs are to the Suns. However the Spurs vs. Suns series were much funner to watch. God I hate the Mavs but I gotta admit they seem to just be the better team and a terrible matchup for us.

[MateoNeygro]

Fml!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spursfan09]

Whatever, as long as Spurs get same treatment at home.

The Spurs had more points in the paint than the Mavs. Manu and Tim were attacking the basket, they just were not getting calls. That will not be the case in game two. I can guarentee that Spurs will shoot 20+ free throws in game two.
