im wondering if he will get fined for that

[ObiwanGinobili]

im wondering if he will get fined for that


that would have to be a 1st.

[Kong]

Yes, Dirk stepped on Tim's foot, and Tim's other foot was inside the area where blocking is called under the basket. I don't like it, but I can see it.

I saw that and screw all you jerks, spurs fans included, that try and say the refs didn't win this game for the Mavs.

Timmy called the refs out and he probably wants to get fined.

Props to Timmy. It's about damn time.

Refs 2 Spurs 1

Look forward to Bennet Salvitore in Game 4.

[SA210]

Yes, Dirk stepped on Tim's foot, and Tim's other foot was inside the area where blocking is called under the basket. I don't like it, but I can see it.
Timmy mentioned how we were winning and then the refs gave the Mavs like 10 free throws in a row.

Timmy believes the refs won this game for the Mavs, so do I.

[Borosai]

I wish Pop would blast the refs...probably won't happen, but he should...somebody has to say something.

[SA210]

I wish Pop would blast the refs...probably won't happen, but he should...somebody has to say something.
Knowing how Pop is, he really won't.

But I am damn glad Timmy called them out, and I really think he wanted to get fined. He's sick of this crap.

:madrun

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, Duncan is fucking nutting up with the press. Good to see someone doing something to get the attention of the refs other than Cuban and AJ.

Dirk went to the free throw time damn near as many times as the Spurs tonight, that's a fucking joke.

[braeden0613]

Knowing how Pop is, he really won't.

But I am damn glad Timmy called them out, and I really think he wanted to get fined. He's sick of this crap.

i wish they would let me say something :cuss

[FreshPrince22]

David Stern was just notified and has suspended Duncan for games 4 and 5.





:lol

[CharlieMac]

Pop didnt go Karl on teh refs? Shocker.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

great now ur superstar is a whinger.........u must be proud

[Tobias]

Pop never will, unfortunately. It would be great if he would give a big snarky remark.
Someone needs to, more than glad it was Duncan.

[veruca]

It's been like this the whole fucking series---spurs get zero respect from refs; the damn China Doll (i.e., damn German) for some unknown reason gets ALL respect from refs even tho he plays with zero aggression (biggest wussy in NBA). We'll see how jackass refs call Game 4. Even they even call it a little more for mavs, Spurs should be fine.

A NUGGET fan? :lol

[danyel]

It was a bad call, big deal, there were several bad calls through the game.

You don't win a series because of bad calls you win it in spite of them, now lets concentrate on what went wrong in game 3 and what we can do about it on game 4.

[SpursGo25]

David Stern and the Refs are commiting a felony offense and should at least be removed from their positions. At most should stand criminal trial.

The officiating was so bad. It's like De Niro said in casino:

You're either in on it or too fucking stupid to know the difference. Either way, you're out.

[A-Train]

Dirklutz bailed out by the refs. Now that's the type of NBA ball I want to watch.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

great now ur superstar is a whinger.........u must be proud

This coming from a fan of a team whose coach and whole roster was bitching last year in the playoffs about why they were being singled out for all their flagrant fouls on Manu.

Suck it up, cunt.

[SA210]

Spurs never complain about refs.

Timmy finally did it. :tu

[JamStone]

How about in the lane getting blocked cleanly by Josh Howard and getting the foul call?

Whistle was tough on the Spurs, but it's not like the refs didn't give the Spurs any calls.

Timmy gets the benefit of the whistle a lot, especially when he drops his shoulder to create space. It's so rare he gets a bad whistle that when he does, there's a riot from Spurs fans. He got a bad whistle tonight. Now he knows what Shaq is going through and what 90% of the rest of the NBA players go through who aren't "superstars."

[picnroll]

It was great to see Duncan finally calling out the refs. I'm fricking amazed no questions were asked about how the Mavs scored 16 of their last 20 points at the FT line. Then these Mavs chumps inlcuding Avery talked about how they nutted up in the end.

[Pistons < Spurs]

The Spurs got calls, yes.

But the Mavs got them (phantomly) when it counted most.

[KingsFanWithoutName]

Spurs never complain about refs.

But their fans sure fucking do!!!!!! How many fucking ref threads can you have? Shouldn't they all be merged to have one big whining fuckfest?

Pray tellme how you can win the game when the other team is put on the FT line every time down the court.

[samikeyp]

what is a whinger? :lol


it was a crap call but the Spurs still were in position to win the game. I had a problem with the officiating because I thought it was inconsistent. Not in favor of one team or the other but how the first 3 Q's they were letting them play but in the 4th..everything gets called tight on both teams.

[braeden0613]

But their fans sure fucking do!!!!!! How many fucking ref threads can you have? Shouldn't they all be merged to have one big whining fuckfest?
and this is coming from the fan of the team that got screwed every year against the Lakers?? remember how you felt

[spurster]

16 out of 20????

Refs suck.

[Texas_Ranger]

There was no foul. Dirk stepped on Tims foot and Duncan could not make a stepp back. But that is a clear foul for the refs. FUCK THEM! :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun :madrun

[T Park]

except for the foul was called on Nowitzki sir.

Kinda like Rasheed Wallace does...

Kinda hard to prevent a team from getting to the line 50 times...

[T Park]

but the Spurs still were in position to win the game

without their best player on the floor.

Name me a team that wins this....

Not the Cavs.

Not the pistons

Not the Mavericks.

[danyel]

The Spurs got calls, yes.

But the Mavs got them (phantomly) when it counted most.

I think that they call it home court in the NBA.

[Tobias]

So the ATT Center is in Dallas too?

[Mr. Peabody]

The Spurs lost the game by playing so crappy in the beginning. If you don't put a team away, anything can happen.

[danyel]

Pray tellme how you can win the game when the other team is put on the FT line every time down the court.

Being more aggresive from the 1st minute, playing better defense and offense, not reallying on your superstar to carry you through the game, the rest has to step it up.

[greyforest]

But their fans sure fucking do!!!!!! How many fucking ref threads can you have? Shouldn't they all be merged to have one big whining fuckfest?

Can we please ban this guy, he is a fucking troll from hell.

Only problem with that little theory is the Mavs have gotten more FTs in SA than the Spurs have.

[Shank]

I'm going to cherish this thread forever.

Your anger and ignorance is delicious.

[danyel]

Havent Josh Howard and Devin Harris been way more aggresive than Manu and TP? BTW didn't we lose that game by 20 pts?

[A-Train]

I'm going to cherish this thread forever.

Your anger and ignorance is delicious.

Mav Fan now trumpeting a win handed to them by the refs. Classic.

[ponky]

But their fans sure fucking do!!!!!! How many fucking ref threads can you have? Shouldn't they all be merged to have one big whining fuckfest?


Oh let them whine, it's funny. Spurs got tons of calls in the first quarter, it's not like the officiating was one-sided, especially with Joey Crawford calling it. I love how the officiating was great in Game 1 and now it sucks and some bozo poster can't wait for Salvatore. Why? Because he'll give you all the calls? HAHAHAHAHA. Duncan had a great game and the Mavericks gave it up but Manu f*cked up, just like he did in Game 3 against the Kings.

[Shank]

Mav Fan now trumpeting a win handed to them by the refs. Classic.

Wow. And to think I thought you were one of the smart ones around here. Blaming the refs is a loser's lament.

how exciting for you...oh and a call of ignorance from a Mavs fan...the most ignorant, band-wagon fanbase in the NBA

Handed to them by Ginobili is more like it.

This must be more of your humor.
