1-17

Blazers +25 FTA

[Otaku]

Just lol. After what happened in game 1 you can't complain about anything. ANYTHING.

[Axe Murderer]

Just lol. After what happened in game 1 you can't complain about anything. ANYTHING.

What happened in game 1? Blazers actually started getting called for fouling?

[sribb43]

Looks like Nate's 35 G's was money well spent. Fuck Stern, further proof the fix is in.
No point in playing tonight, just move on to Portland

Just lol. After what happened in game 1 you can't complain about anything. ANYTHING.

just shut up.

Nothing comes near to freaking 1-17 in playoff games under Dan Crawford. Its not a few missed calls, 2-3 bad games, its freaking 1-17 and Dan Crawford bragging about it toward Tim Donaghy...

[sefant77]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NORVvbkn0MM

Actually this video is pretty embarrassing crying. Most of the calls are correct and the 1-2 missed ones (the Wallace one at the end) are more than neutralized by all that missed crap against Dirk in quarter 1-3.

Blazers fans are so pathetic. Well, if you had to listen to their moronic brainwashing broadcasting all the years, its almost Heinsohn level.

[endrity]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NORVvbkn0MM

As I wrote when tlong posted this video, it took me 1:30 to see a wrong call. I just didn't think other fans would resemble tlong in that respect.

[Greg Oden]

who the hell is Otaku?

[Sportstudi]

who the hell is Otaku?

Probably tlong's brother as their claims are both shitty and irrelevant. As Sefant wrote, even if there were some doubtful and wrong calls in the 4th (like the one on Wallace), in the end they were more than justified after the shit Dirk had to endure during the first 3/4 of the game. IMO Dirk might have gotten a few doubtful FT's in the 4th, but they were compensation for all those missed ones earlier. Pretty ridiculous to think you can hack the shit out of a player during the entire game without getting called. And the video is just laughable. I don't call a video with Blazers commentators a real convincing argument. They are the second worst homers in the NBA, right behind Heinsohn.

[badfish22]

Should be a good game. Hope to see more clutch play from Dirk and Kidd, and more clutch celebrating from the JET.

The only time the Mavs won a playoff game with Dan Crawford, it took Dirk dropping a nickel.

[mavsfan1000]

Blazers have this one. Dallas will need to steal one on the road.

[lurker]

I'm laughing because crying would be sad.

[Findog]

Blazers have this one. Dallas will need to steal one on the road.

The Rose Garden is a tough place to win in the playoffs. Atmosphere is Golden State 2007-esque.

Non-issue

With the exception of maybe the Miami games, Dallas just got thoroughly outplayed in all those games.

A video with 1-2 questionable calls and is made by a Blazers fan. Thanks for not proving anything.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NORVvbkn0MM

I know why Blazers fans are such homers it's bc they have to listen to those damn announcers, Mike Rice and they other guy, complain about every damn call the entire season

[Axe Murderer]

There were only two blatantly bad calls. The one where Terry used his off arm to fend off Wallace (at full speed it did look like Terry got fouled) and the one where Aldridge blocked Nowitzki and they called a foul, however superstars have always gotten the benefit of the doubt so that shouldn't come as a shock.

So there you have it, two bad calls in a game (without even caring about calls that went against Dallas). There's never been bad calls in an NBA game ever. :cry The fix is in :cry

Funny thing is that all these whiny Blazer fans saying it's rigged are still gonna watch every minute of this series :lmao

[sefant77]

I'd so enjoy for Kidd to continue on with his Crusade.

Kidd told when he sat out at the end of the season he worked on his shooting and adapted some stuff he saw Dirk doing.

[Killakobe81]

Im guessing Crawford is the guy who screwed you in the Finals? I heard Coop and Nate discussing this ...im guessing bad news for the Mavs?

[badfish22]

[lurker]

Even if they actually believed Donaghy was completely lying about everything, it would've been the smart thing to do to just quietly keep Crawford away from Mavs games. They have enough refs that it's completely unnecessary for him to be anywhere near them.

(I feel the same about Joe Crawford and the Spurs. Just sayin')

[Ghazi]

This is so unfair... guy clearly has an agenda against the Mavs.. 1-16 in last 17 games doesn't happen by chance... 0-16 when Dirk scores less than 50 points..

No shit... Why make this an issue? It only makes people question officiating and think the fix is in

Its still an accusation thats out there from a former ref, whether he was a snitch or not. Plus hes got the record to back it up.

[Kyle Orton]

But yeah Stern assigning Dan Crawford to ref tons of Mavs games and Joe Crawford to ref tons of Spurs games is more than him being careless. He does it intentionally because he's an egomaniac who wants to send the message that he knows all about the allegations and doesn't give a fuck.

He tells Spurs fans the refs robbed Tim Duncan of rings because San Antonio is a small market, then shortly after he tells Suns fans Nunez rigged the San Antonio series against them in 2007. Notice how the two don't line up? He plays whatever end of the spectrum he can to spark as much ref controversy as possible among fans.

Pretty much. If suddenly he doesnt assign Dan C to Mavs games or Joe C to Spurs games, it looks like he is admitting that he has been fucking with the league, and looks every bit as bad, if not worse than it would be for him to keep assigning them to do their games.

Anyone who seriously uses anything that Tim Donaghy says as an argument is an automatic fail.

Its not 1-17, its 2-16

WOOHOOOO WE HAVE A CHANCE

I think its hard to completely dismiss everything he says. I'm sure there is some stuff that is quite exaggerated and bullcrap on his part, while there is plenty of truth to some that he says/wrote as well. Just too much coincedence in some aspects.

[Isitjustme?]

Studies have shown Donaghy was full of shit.

I don't think taking precaution would mean he was admitting that everything was true, though I guess some people might spin it that way.

[Axe Murderer]

If Mav fans would actually look at that list of games that Danny C officiated, they'd realize a lot of them were blowouts in which we were thoroughly outplayed

[Kyle Orton]

I agree completely.

[Neo.]

I don't think taking precaution would mean he was admitting that everything was true, though I guess some people might spin it that way.

It wouldn't neccesarily mean that, but if he had to choose between some people thinking hes giving up and admitting defeat, or by still scheduling those refs just to scoff peoples accusations that he is rigging games, he would do and is doing the latter.

Eight games were decided by 5 points or less, and five of those were decided by three points or less. Seven games were decided by 10+.

I'm not trying to make any pre-game excuses, if the Mavs lose today it will most likely have more to do with their terrible guard play than the refs. I just hate how we keep drawing this fuck.

The Mavericks are 4-14 AGAINST THE SPREAD in playoff games refereed by Crawford since 2001 compared to 47-41-1 vs. the spread in all other playoff games in that span (according to information from Covers.com).

The reason this is important is that the spread is essentially one of the best ways to look at what a team is expected to do in a certain game. Historically, the spread has been shown to be an accurate predictor of what happens in a game – that is, teams are generally .500 against the spread over large samples of games. Therefore, the fact that the Mavericks seem to underperform compared to expectations (as proxied by the spread) in games reffed by Crawford is possibly more compelling evidence than the 2-16 overall record.

I don't know how to account for that. Some of the games were blowouts that they had no chance of winning.

Nope...case in point Game 5 2003 WCSF. Kobe had Bruce Bowen in the air at the end (from the 3-point line), all he had to do was jump into him for the contact. He chose the pass b/c refs swallow the whistle in those situations.


You forgot the fact that there was two obvious goaltending no-calls the Spurs got earlier in their 4th quarter comeback bid. In the end the calls evened out.

Kobe didn't get the contact, he passed it. Calls earlier in the game have nothing to do with your point.

Kobe could've easily gotten the contact (check the replay), but the refs wouldn't have called it cause it was a last shot...he knew this and opted for the pass to open Robert Horry (a good move on his part). Shot missed. Spurs win. Lakers lose.

Brent went the vaginal route and didn't get the call. Lakers win. Spurs lose.


This is fun...I love strolling down memory lane

[LakerHater]

[DPG21920]

Just awful argument/logic.

[Axe Murderer]

They definitely should've called a foul on Fisher but it shouldn't have been a shooting foul

[DPG21920]

It was automatic FT's at that point for any foul.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I can live with the no-call. Apparently some are still having trouble accepting it

[DPG21920]

We all live with it, doesn't make what you are saying any less ridiculous. Living with it = Flat out lying to yourself.

[HarlemHeat37]

The league office on Wednesday reviewed the final play of the San Antonio Spurs' 93-91 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals and acknowledged that a two-shot foul should have been called on Derek Fisher for impeding Brent Barry.

After falling behind by seven points in the final minute, San Antonio sliced the deficit to two and regained possession with 2.1 seconds to play.

Barry then wound up with the ball in the center of the floor on a play called for Manu Ginobili and faked Fisher in the air but struggled to get off a 3-point heave at the buzzer after Fisher came down and bumped Barry.

"With the benefit of instant replay, it appears a foul call should have been made," league spokesman Tim Frank said Wednesday.

[DeadlyDynasty]

We all live with it, doesn't make what you are saying any less ridiculous. Living with it = Flat out lying to yourself.

Ignoring the fact that San Antonio was the beneficiary of several no-calls in that quarter isn't any less ridiculous. In fact I can point to several plays in the 4th that San Antonio had go there way--you can point to only one.

In the end, it doesn't matter.


Was it a foul? Yes

Am I shocked that the refs swallowed their whistles? No.

The series wasn't lost there, and you know it.

[DPG21920]

Where did I say any of that.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Where did I say any of that.

Don't be an ass, you insinuated as much.

Brewer in the game. Hopefully mavfan don't bitch about him not playing enough this game when he gets pulled for sucking it up.

mills vs barrea. battle of the 4ft scrubs

But they're getting it done offensively. Don't you think

Roy missin jumpers & missin free throws!

Not Roy and Mills ...

Not good, got to force the issue with JET on him though.

[lil_penny]

Brandon roy looks horrible.. Worst ive seen him tbh.

[Killakobe81]

roy looks pretty done

I think he believes he can still score an dthey promoting him as some type of bench scorer. He can still pass and post up small guards. They should play him with their best players so he can create for Aldridge, Matthews etc. (when Miller doesnt have ball)

[Killakobe81]

Brandon roy looks horrible.. Worst ive seen him tbh.

I think he still can give you something Penny, I just dont like the way he is being used in this series ...

Is luke babbit injured?

[Killakobe81]

There was nothing cooking there, homie. He was doomed to begin with... I called it.

I did too ... but he can still give you something ...

Thought Cuban did something to the rim for a second on those FT's

[Greg Oden]

Peja is checkin assholes tonight.

[NewJerSpur]

Good call.

[LakerHater]

Wayta stay calm & find Aldridge for the slam!

Why do I get the feeling the Mavs can bully the Blazers.

lanky bigs, tbh. Everyone thought this was a bad matchup for Dallas but I didn't see it. They historically own Portland, and this version of the Blazers hasn't played together long enough to be a threat. Dallas in 5.

Didnt you read the memo, Luva?

When Danny Crawford refs the Mavs they CAN NOT win ... LOL

Isnt Joey Crawford the ref the Spurs fan fear?

[Killakobe81]

Dude was a star before his knee exploded

His knees were a timebomb. in college he would look all-world when his knees were healthy as well ...

[DJ Mbenga]

did peja have sex with sienna west? whats with the game today

[ohmwrecker]

Isnt Joey Crawford the ref the Spurs fan fear?

Not since Stern spanked him for tossing out The Laughing Duncan.

[jag]

Why do I get the feeling the Mavs can bully the Blazers.

Because as big of a front running vagina as Jason Terry is, he's still tougher than Rudy Fernandez.

[mavsfan1000]

nba=fixed

[NewJerSpur]

Miller got hacked.

[DeadlyDynasty]

(insert Blazers player's) knees were a timebomb.

fify

[Killakobe81]

Well Blazers have 3 front-line SG's at one time: Roy, Matthews and Rudy were all solid to all-star level. Tonight especially after Terry domed Matthews ... they are not getting shit out of the position.

[lil_penny]

lanky bigs, tbh. Everyone thought this was a bad matchup for Dallas but I didn't see it. They historically own Portland, and this version of the Blazers hasn't played together long enough to be a threat. Dallas in 5.

Historically? Dallas and portland has met like 3 times in the playoffs with portland taking 2 of them lol..

He does that even after he dunks????

[NewJerSpur]

Dallas is clogging the hell out of the lane on defense. No alleyoops raining down like Saturday.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Historically? Dallas and portland has met like 3 times in the playoffs with portland taking 2 of them lol..

Let me clarify that...I meant the last several years (Dirk era, basically). "Historically" was a poor choice of words on my part.

[Greg Oden]

Jason Kidd

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol Kidd....wtf. Back to the future up in here

[Axe Murderer]

Jason Kidd

[InRareForm]

JKidd

[lurker]

lol I need a gif of Kidd's move after the shot went in.

[InRareForm]

wow back to back jumpshot and 1's

[sefant77]

lol Kidd

[TinTin]

bBPOK9PIw-0

[Axe Murderer]

:lol at Dirk yelling in his face after the make

[InRareForm]

lol I need a gif of Kidd's move after the shot went in.

looked a little fruity to me :lol

[Killakobe81]

Yep Kidd and and Peja were in the hottub time machine last night Marion gets hot and the circle is complete.

[DeadlyDynasty]

This game is delivering

[DeadlyDynasty]

Wes Matthews with the quick trigger

[Killakobe81]

Well after I said they got nada from the SG Matthews gets wet ...

[Bill_Brasky]

Got damn, can't breathe on Dirk today huh.

And great job Portland for staying in this.

[rayjayjohnson]

Mavs look solid. Maybe a first round exit ain't on the cards this year

[ohmwrecker]

Jet is so gangsta, he cocks his headband to the side.

[Killakobe81]

Great game. Heat game last night only real "clunker"

[jag]

The Mavs will get down and dirty and punch penises, go for knees, headbutt and throw bows. Portland cant scrap with them. Andre Miller is the only vet on that team with any balls. But punking out JJ Barea all game isn't really going to count for much. Portland needs to keep this thing from being a physical free-for-all.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Got damn, can't breathe on Dirk today huh.

And great job Portland for staying in this.

it's a conspiracy

[ohmwrecker]

Dirk has Kobeitis.

[DJ Mbenga]

to make this perfect we need to hear some dan crawford chants

[LakerHater]

What the hell is he flopping for.......Play D!!

[Killakobe81]

Flop come on Tyson didnt learn that at Compton Dominguez ...you rep the Westside yella boy!

[InRareForm]

dallas losing it's composure. the ghost of crawford is cursing them

[InRareForm]

what are they chanting?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Classless chants about the refs...Sean Elliott would not approve

[Greg Oden]

t that ugly shithead up. he's doing the same thing Tyson was doing.

[Killakobe81]

Lots of whining ...refs need to gain control a hard foul is coming ...

[Axe Murderer]

So when were we able to say Sean Elliott?

[Greg Oden]

Sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_

[LakerHater]

"Crawford sucks"!

[Isitjustme?]

These playoffs have been unreal so far.

[Killakobe81]

You are right , Dirk did look like Kobe right there ...

[NewJerSpur]

Gerald Wallace on an iso? Bad call, charge on Haywood.

[NewJerSpur]

I stand corrected, good call on Batum. :tu

[LakerHater]

Holy Crap!!!

....Blocking call with no time!

[lurker]

LOL Haywood

[Killakobe81]

Again Kidd making the difference for Mavs ...

best playoff start ifor him in a Mavs uniform TBH ...

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Haywood.

[Zelophehad]

omg Brendan

[Killakobe81]

HackaHaywood coming?

[Zelophehad]

Thats an NBA player folks.

[dallaskd]

haywood is fucking garbage

[DeadlyDynasty]

If Kidd plays like this all the time Dallas is gonna be a bitch to play next round

[jag]

36% :lmao

[BRHornet45]

ball don't lie ... missed both of the bogus freebies

[LakerHater]

Couldnt tie it! :lol

[j.dizzle]

:wow 36% FT shooter. Holy shit Haywood makes Shaq look like Ray Allen at the line.

[Nathan89]

That's why he gets paid the big bucks.

[NewJerSpur]

Brendan Haywood=Chris Dudley incarnate.

[NewJerSpur]

HackaHaywood coming?

I'd do it.

[j.dizzle]

If Kidd plays like this all the time Dallas is gonna be a bitch to play next round

Kidd is fresh right now, he got some good rest in the past week or to. This series is going 7 games. Every game will come down to the last 2 minutes. These 2teams are almost identical the way they play.

[Greg Oden]

Brendan Haywood=Chris Dudley incarnate.

[Killakobe81]

Thing is like Shaq, Brendan has a decent touch around the hoop. For them it's all mental ... especially Haywood. aginst Hornets (to close the season) dude hit like 2 15 footers, Mavs announcers said maybe he should take jumpshots at the FT line because standing there and bending his knees aint working ...

Dudley had no touch whatsoever ...

[NewJerSpur]

Shaq did all of that, and didn't even call Dudley the next day, LOL.

Point noted. Those were some ugly freebies though.

5-game series. 6 max, imho

[MavDynasty]

Confused me how Haywood was roughly a 60-65% free throw shooter over the course of his career and has bricked all season from the line. His form looks the same as last year but god damn, those 2 FT's were so far right that they barely hit rim.

[Killakobe81]

Shaq did all of that, and didn't even call Dudley the next day, LOL.

In the paint when motivated Shaq was a beast even more than Dwight is now ...but Dwight is the better athlete ...

[sefant77]

Its funny to see Dirk with 4 offensive fouls in 6 quarter and Aldrige hammering his shoulder and ellbow in every opponent

[Greg Oden]

In the paint when motivated Shaq was a beast even more than Dwight is now ...but Dwight is the better athlete ...

Shaq and Dwight isn't even a debate.

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

...but Dwight is the better athlete ...

of course considering you probably didn't watch the NBA until the Lakers were in the midst of their 3peat, you never saw Shaq until he got fat.

lol young Shaq versus Dwight isn't even a fair fight. Shaq goes Eagle County on Dwight 100 times out of 100.

[jag]

:lmao :lmao

Dudley actually got up and threw the ball at Shaq right after that dunk. Shaq shitted on a lot of people... but Chris Dudley is in a class of his own.

[Killakobe81]

Shaq and Dwight isn't even a debate.

Who is debating? I just made the point, because the announcers were drooling over Howard tonight (fixed)
And because of the hate for leaving, some Magic fans are shitting on shaq. I criticize shaq when it is deserved ...like when he got fat but prime Shaq was a beast. I rememeber arguing with someone on who is stronger ...and i know some are swayed by Howards muscles. But shaq is stronger way stronger.

[j.dizzle]

:lol Damn I dont even wanna imagine if Shaq had a real work ethic. Dude was always lazy as shit in his younger days.

[lil_penny]

Pretty good game so far! As sheed likes to say, "both teams played hard"

[sefant77]

Confused me how Haywood was roughly a 60-65% free throw shooter over the course of his career and has bricked all season from the line. His form looks the same as last year but god damn, those 2 FT's were so far right that they barely hit rim.

Its his head.

All season there are reports that he is hitting them in practice at his normal rate or better.

[NewJerSpur]

In the paint when motivated Shaq was a beast even more than Dwight is now ...but Dwight is the better athlete ...

Shaq was a big bully, Dwight's my man unless he leaves Orlando to hop on the Championship Train.

[MavDynasty]

Its his head.

Yeah, in the Mavs games I went too he can knock down quite a few in a row so its really confusing. He has a nice baseline J too imo

[Killakobe81]

This Blazer team is overrated. The Mavs are going up 2-0 and will steal one in Portland. I just wish I could get the feed to hear those whiney ass Blazer announcers.

LOL that would be the shit ...
