Dirk Nowhistle

[Harlem Preach]

sons, this is a crying shame the treatment dirk is getting. lebron on the other hand was held, shoved, hacked and only got to the line for a total of 4 times. the best player in the world doesnt get respect! its time this issue is brought out to the public, the league simply hates him and its a shame this european idiot gets to the line 5 times more than him.

[Darthkiller]

okc shot more fts than dallas. kdwhisle

[WraithXx]

fuck outta here with that stupid shit, best player in the world is down 0-1 homeboy

son you have a legit point there. can't lie

[BRHornet45]

Dirk played his ass off tonight and was clearly the best player on the floor, however at least 12 of his points from the FREEBIE LINE came off of complete and utter bullshit calls.

[dav4463]

Dirk is a jump shooter who gets calls that no player in the history of the NBA gets his way. Durant attacks the basket. That's why he gets calls. Dirk does not. He still gets calls against everybody but the Lakers!

Think there are preferential calls by team? Consider that Dirk shot 63 free throws against Portland in six games, but only 15 in four against LA. Does LA really just not foul....or do they get preferential treatment?

Now against the Thunder, he gets 24 foul shots without going in the paint at all !

It's ridiculous to watch sometimes!

son the same can be said about Kobe Bryant as well. both he and Dirk are jump shooters first and they both get absurd amounts of bullshit/phantom calls. however Kobe gets 10 times more help than Dirk has ever received.

again ... Dirk was bad ass tonight and deserves props, but realistically maybe only 35-38 of his points were legit. the rest were bullshit free points awarded to him by whistle happy refs.

This.

[dav4463]

Dirk does not attack the basket like Durant or D.Wade, yet still gets the calls. Durant basically just said this on the postgame show while being careful not to say anything to get him in trouble!

[picc84]

Bringing a whole other meaning to D-whistle. Gonna be fun to watch him and Wade fight it out for the rights to the name.

dirk spinned & launched a shot and it turned out to be an airball, just don't see no other possible cause but a foul tbqh. or you mean dirk intentionally shot those airballs, to swindle dos FTs? mavs never got favored by the refs before and never will. if there were something the refs did about the mavs it would be nothing but robbin them tbh. your not talkin about the lakers or heat imho

[Nathan89]

On offense dirk gets fouled a lot but the refs add to it with a lot of ticky-tac calls.

On defense the refs seem reluctant to call fouls on dirk. He often gets away with obvious fouls. I don't know why but it may be because dallas relies so much on the guy that the refs don't want to get him in foul trouble.

James takes way more contact than Dirk, sometimes they call the fouls and sometimes they don't. I usually think refs don't call all the contact on James because he would be at the free-throw line every time down the court. If they weren't as physical with him well he would just score.

Excellent post. It was '06 all over again tonight. Funny how Mavs fans complain to this day about the so-called treatment Wade received in the Finals, but they never had a problem with the inexplicable treatment Nowitzki received in the Spurs series.

Dirk is a 7 foot jumpshooter. Thus the only way to irritate his shot is to foul him. Otherwise, you will look silly on defense.

[FkLA]

This happened last season too vs the Spurs, especially in Game 1. Dirk goes flailing after every fadeaway from minimal contact that he initiates to create seperation...and inexplicably gets that call. Dirk is probably the baddest man on the planet right now but I still smh after every one of those calls. Nigga doesnt need that help from refs he can dominate without those chickenshit calls.

[dav4463]

I guess everybody agreed with the last foul on Ibaca. Straight up, no contact.....whistle! Nobody else gets that call!

Durant is a jumpshooter that gets alot of chickenshit calls too. He aint no slasher like Wade.

Are you really arguing about the refs when OKC shot more FT's?


End yourself.

Big guys that can create their own shot and rarely miss when not pressed. It's harder to press a big guy without fouling him. Both Durant and Dirk get those calls and they are very hard to guard as you are almost forced to foul them slightly and hope the refs don't call it.

[Fpoonsie]

Durant attacks the basket. That's why he gets calls.

[ZB 512]

Durant shot 19 FTs...and OKC shot more FTs than Dallas

Durant's "rip through" on Terry in the first half was the worst call in the game

...but dont let facts get in the way of your agenda

I'll just wait until some of the people in this topic realize that HarlemPreach is trolling.

[dav4463]

The whole game was called too tight. It wasn't basketball. It was a free throw contest. That's my point. Dirk never went into the paint and shot 24 free throws. That is crazy. At least Durant got most of his free throws on drives to the basket, but the entire game had too many whistles. These are big boys. Let them play basketball. It reminded me of the Mavs-Spurs game a few years back where the teams combined for 99 free throws. How do you get a rhythm when a game is called that tight?

NOTHING AGAINST DIRK! If he can get all those calls, more power to him!

This is the new NBA though so you know already!!!!! It will be this way some nights. Some idiot announcer said when DIRK fouled Durant on a drive this is a flagrant one there and should be called, I said it's a good playoff foul and damn man this shows how pussy the NBA is nowadays. A bump is a flag 1 now it seems.

Very true. I miss the days of teams battling each other all over the floor and combining for about 30 foul shots. That's basketball. Why does everyone hate defense these days?!

[dav4463]

The new NBA is the reason Bruce Bowen retired.

0-1

[Ashy Larry]

lol @ mavs fan ..... so basically you're saying that D Wade got escorted to the free throw line by the refs in 2006 but when it happens to Dirk in Game 1, it's earned ????? OK

[picc84]

Kidd and Marion played on Kobe's back rougher than OKC played on D-whistle's. No 24 ft attempts. Strange.

[Axe Murderer]

Dirk never went into the paint and shot 24 free throws.

I know with you being a fat beaner and all, telling you to actually sit on the couch AND watch the game might be asking too much, but his first fucking free throws came on a drive to the paint where he got hacked

I guess you missed the whole part of OKC shooting more free throws than Dallas

Actually, his first 7 free throws were all drives in the paint. That's why I think so many people who complain about the # of free throws didn't watch the game and just make blanket statements looking at the stat line. Dirk got 3 or so questionable calls in the 2nd half but KD did as well and Westbrook too.
