Spurs would have won this game by 8-10 points if it were not for the refs. Anyone who says "you can't blame the refs, Spurs played like shit, Dallas played well enough to win," is wrong.
Spurs won this game, and the Refs took it away. And that is the fact.
30 years of watching and playing basketball, I've never seen a more blatant case of refs skewing calls favoring one team. Some are too scared of being called "whiners" if they try to put the blame on referees. And generally, I agree...whining about refs is become a favorite pastime.
But...there really is a time to Blame the refs.
And this is it. The refs had more influence on who the winner of this game was...than the players on the court. And, for whatever reason...they wanted Dallas to win it.
I hope someone has the ability, persistence, and balls...to find out why.
