Nice Game by The SPURS

[LEONARD]

Well, I can post again...

The Mavs sucked last night...congrats to the Spurs for getting it done and taking it back to SA. Especially Michael Finley...he was money all night...

Harris - make a freakin' layup
Daniels - where'd you go in the 2nd half?
Dirk - that was a grown ass man performance...too bad Howard was the only guy that helped
Stack - never should've started...Daniels should've
KVH - I thought for a minute that he would be the spare to break Spurs fans hearts, much like Kerr did a few years ago...

Another game that could've gone either way...you gotta love this series! Game 7 will be insane...I don't know if I can take it. I'd hate to know what my blood pressure is at the ends of these games... :oops

The best team always wins a 7 game series, right? It won't be easy, but games 1, 2, and 5 showed that the Mavs can hang on the Spurs court.

GO MAVS GO!! :fro

(JET game winning 3 at the buzzer)

[degenerate_gambler]

I was surprised and happy too when I saw Stackhouse in the starting lineup. He's been so effective off the bench for Dallas that I really thought AJ would keep him there and go with Daniels as. I dont know if it threw him off his rhythm or what but after the first qtr, he didn't do jack.

Spurs 3, Mavs 1, Refs 2

[mavsfan1000]

Brickhouse cost us the game. Brickhouse is the best player for the spurs. He sucks. No way Terry shoots that poorly. Congrats on your asterisks win and getting 14 more free throws to add to it. Dallas has been Stern'd.

[sa_butta]

I knew we had this game once I saw the score in the 3rd quater and the way the Spurs came out aggressive. Once again held the Mavs to under 100 and came out with the W. Spurs in 7, Believe it.

I thought for sure Avery was going to start Griffin and have Stack coming off the bench.

Come on dude...f'in lame...Terry f'd up...and counting # of FT's is pointless!!

True...that's one trend to watch...

>100 = Mavs win
<100 = Spurs win

and also Josh Howard getting 20 pts (Mavs undefeated this season)...only had 17 pts last night...weird how that keeps holding true...

But if he had 23 instead of 17, maybe a Mavs win?! Something to watch for in game 7...


I thought for sure Avery was going to start Griffin and have Stack coming off the bench.

All the talk around here was to start Daniels, keep Stack on the bench, and give Griffin some minutes too...

Under pressure.

Pressure!


Looks like your vagina dislikely ass was wrong, now wasn't it.

[Buddy Holly]

It is if you're not counting game 3's massive lopsided freethrow count.

But we know the old Queen Miss Mavsfan1000 isn't smart enough to do so.

[trueD]

Way to grind out a win in an elimination game Spurs. How can the free NBA world not be impressed, coming back fro down 3-1 and winning the game 6, ONCE AGAIN, away? True championship stuff.

Looking oh-so-forward the three game 7's coming up, what a PO season it's been!

[Spurs Dynasty]

Stackhouse did not do the Mavs any favors, but who else would you start? He has been money in the past. Please dont overlook the intensity on both sides which just might have a tiny little bit to do with execution of opposing players. Both these teams are going all out and not everyone can have their way all the time.

Game 7 will rock.

[sa_butta]

Brickhouse cost us the game. Brickhouse is the best player for the spurs. He sucks. No way Terry shoots that poorly. Congrats on your asterisks win and getting 14 more free throws to add to it. Dallas has been Stern'd.So then you can admit we got "Stern'd" in games 3-4 because the free throws were lob sided. Give me a break. Games 1, 2, 5 and 6 I think were called pretty evenly. Last night in the first half for the most part the refs just let them play. In the 2nd half there was one noticable call which was Harris forearm on Bowen that could have easily been a no call. But I have to say it was pretty even last night.

# of FT's is pointless...way too many variables involved in getting to those #'s...

How well does a team spread their fouls out to stay out of the bonus for long periods of time?

How much more does 1 team drive to the basket than the other?

Shooting fouls vs non-shooting fouls.

Last minute desperation fouls (non applicable to any game but game 6 probably)

Stfu you idiot. 50-39 is no massive lopsided freethrow count. Game 4 had the same amount of free throws. The last 2 games the spurs have had 25 more freethrows. The spurs have obviously have gotten the better of the calls. Especially the second half of last game.

No way the Mavs play that D on TP with Terry in the lineup. Poor assumption.

[Buddy Holly]

Stfu you idiot.

Ouch, did the old queen get her knickers in a bunch?


50-39 is no massive lopsided freethrow count.

Yeah, 50 freethrows is totally normal.


Game 4 had the same amount of free throws. The last 2 games the spurs have had 25 more freethrows. The spurs have obviously have gotten the better of the calls. Especially the second half of last game.

Hey girlfriend, this series would be wrapped up already and the Spurs would be waiting the outcome of the Suns-Clippers series if it weren't for the refs. Don't you forget that kid.

[SPARKY]

I think the dishearting thing for Mavs fans is that that they got TD off the court for the last 6:30 of the 2nd quarter and couldn't shake the Spurs. Don't talk to me about Terry not being there. You had that plus were able to D up on Parker.

[gingko]

the 2nd half just looked better fouls-wise because the 1st half it was all mavs

3 fouls on duncan bowen ginobili horry

i call bullshit i said i said

a) You won. Stop complaining about officiating.
b) More fouls were called on the Mavs than the Spurs in the first half, so I think it is hard to argue it was all mavs. It was 13 to 6 in favor in the second half, so that may be why it looked better.
c) It didn't matter, the players (Manu being good, Stack being bad) decided the game.

[Buddy Holly]

a) You won. Stop complaining about officiating.

Hey sunshine, its your fellow Mavs fan that is complaining.

[SPARKY]

What the fuck? The Spurs had 4 guys with 3 fouls at the end of the 1st half. They had TD in foul trouble (again) in the 2nd quarter. Yeah, the refs handed Game 6 to the Spurs.

[Sasha]

Brickhouse cost us the game. Brickhouse is the best player for the spurs. He sucks. No way Terry shoots that poorly. Congrats on your asterisks win and getting 14 more free throws to add to it. Dallas has been Stern'd.


OK, here we go again...

[gingko]

Hey sunshine, its your fellow Mavs fan that is complaining.

Hey sugercubes, look at who I am directly quoting. That is who I am addressing. That quote is complaining.

But, if we do want to expand the scope, we can pull in a couple more examples of complaining....now lets see....what post on this thread is a good example....ah, found one!


this series would be wrapped up already and the Spurs would be waiting the outcome of the Suns-Clippers series if it weren't for the refs. Don't you forget that kid.

Only mavsfan1000 is complaining from the Mavs side. I have, as have other Mavs fans on this thread, gone out of our way to mention the game was decided by the players.

[picnroll]

Congratualtion on your asterisk excuse. You can add it to your collection of asterisks that fill the Mavs' trophy case.

[mavsfan1000]

It wasn't the first half that was bad. The spurs got 16 more free throws in the second half!!! Explain that bullshit.

[DDS4]

Stfu you idiot. 50-39 is no massive lopsided freethrow count. Game 4 had the same amount of free throws. The last 2 games the spurs have had 25 more freethrows. The spurs have obviously have gotten the better of the calls. Especially the second half of last game.

Maybe you should tell your team to stop settling for jump shots in the 2nd half. You guys had the formula for games 2 and 3. Be aggressive towards the rim and you get calls. Plain and simple.

Duncan, Bowen, Horry and Manu had 3 fouls before halftime. Did they fuckin' make excuses? They just played and found a way to win.

[Buddy Holly]

It wasn't the first half that was bad. The spurs got 16 more free throws in the second half!!! Explain that bullshit.

Four of those being intentional don't forget. :lol

So lets say 12.

Check the boxscore.

The two leaders for the Spurs in freethrow shooting were Tim and Manu.

The two most aggressive guys of the night.

And seeing how everyone but your star played like the thing you have between your legs, them taking very little freethrows isn't surprising.

Them taking 50 is. It's actually down right shocking.

[gingko]

b. look at the kinds of fouls being called on mav (i.e. smacking td's forearms) compared to spurs (i.e. phantom 'blocking' fouls)


And Damp getting called for getting to the spot befor TD and TD initiating contact. It goes both ways. Or Devin getting called for an offensive foul when he is ahead of Bowen on a break away, Bruce is out of position to make a play, and any attempt by Bruce to get the ball would have been a reach in. It goes both ways. Good calls and bad calls.

The players decided the game. Calls were good and bad for both teams.

You need to reinforce that train of thought in your girlfriend.

Learn how to use < and > the Alligator goes after the bigger prize

[picnroll]

Dampier has two hands on Duncans' back every time Duncan goes back to the basket on the blocks. Every time. Not once, not twice, every time. How that sumo wrestler stays in the game past the first quarter is beyond me.

[exstatic]

Weren't you in here bitching about Spurs fans bitching at the refereeing?

[LEONARD]

Why can't everybody just STFU about # of fouls, bad calls, FT's, Terry out...it is what it is...Game 7 and that's it.

There's no conspiracy by Stern...

Cuban has no impact on officiating...


spurs win that game by 15 if the refs call fairly

that is all

Good grief...


Learn how to use < and > the Alligator goes after the bigger prize

Um, ok... :rolleyes

[gingko]

Stern is there to see that the series goes 7 games, as per his orders.


Alright Miss Cleo, what does Stern want to happen in game 7?

[SPARKY]

It wasn't the first half that was bad. The spurs got 16 more free throws in the second half!!! Explain that bullshit.

Same principle as Nowitzki going to the line 50 times or whatever in 3 games.

[1Parker1]

Mavs have shown they can win in San Antonio. And Game 5, they kept it close too. Game 7 could go either way. However, I'm just happy that the Spurs are even playing a Game 7. 4 Days ago, I didn't think it was possible.

[1Parker1]

Suns/Clips nobody cares about

:lol Hey! I care....I want the Clips to advance.

[td4mvp21]

mavsfan1000asfjklsaf923074, you and many other Mavs fans were preaching how a win is a win after Game 3. Last night was not an asterisk win, we won fair and square. We played more agressive in the second half. If you could not tell that, than you did not see the right game.

[zrinkill]

I have not been here very long ..... but I can already tell that mavsfan1000 is a complete idiot.

:angel

[jman3000]

Learn how to use < and > the Alligator goes after the bigger prize

I really don't know why I have the urge to do this but....

if you're comparing 2 numbers: 5>1 or 4<10 then yeah, that is the case

but if there is no comparison < will usually suffice for greater than...
it's bascically a replacement for writing down "greater than"
could be wrong... but that's what i always thought......

The Spurs took 32 FT attempts and made 22. That Mavs took 50 and made 39.

STFU idiot.

Mavs 3> Spurs 2> NBA League Office 1

Spurs season would be over if Terry played last night. I truly believe that. I don't think the league office should have ever gotten involved in the first place when there was no foul on the floor. Truly a bush league move and I don't care if he punched him or not.

Still the Spurs won the game. I still like our chances in Game 7, even with the expected 10-15 Duncan calls that will be made on our centers.

STFU idiot. After you losers call us whiners all you can fucking do is complain. At least our team was getting fouled and not getting breathed on by Dirk. Tim Duncan was out almost all of the 2nd, and your team didn't capitalize.

And a rule is a fucking rule. Terry PUNCHED Finley. A PUNCH IS AUTO SUSPENSION. Why is that so fucking hard to understand?

Man up and stop crying.

1. Mavs fans that are whining now need to STFU
2. Spurs fans that are telling Mavs fans to STFU need to STFU, because you were probably whining a few days ago... (a few here weren't!)

[mavsfan1000]

Like I said before game 6. Mavs with Terry=victory. Mavs without Terry=loss. Terry and Dirk are the mavs offense and the rest are just role players.

[texlawman]

I agree. That's why I feel confident going in to game 7. I think we are the better team.

Mavs, Cuban hit where it hurts

12:24 PM CDT on Friday, May 19, 2006

It should've been no surprise that Mark Cuban ventured into the film business a few years ago. He's shown a keen interest in the visual arts during most of his time as Mavericks owner.

Ask Chris Webber. Shaquille O'Neal. Yao Ming.

All became subjects of Cuban productions in recent years, productions he was so proud of that he shared them with the league office. Wanted it to see how Webber dragged his pivot foot and the referees never called it. How Shaq always stepped across the free throw line before his shot hit anything. How Yao set moving screens that weren't drawing whistles.

The chicken came home to roost Thursday.

How else to explain the sudden unexpected suspension of starting guard Jason Terry for tonight's Game 6? The league announced late Thursday afternoon that it was benching Terry for punching Michael Finley during a scrum with seconds left in Game 5.

Finley was unusually agitated after the grappling. Terry wasn't assessed a foul on the play. No one seemed to see anything unseemly happen. A jump ball was called.

But the Spurs went Cuban on the Mavericks sometime after the game. They sent a tape to the league office that showed Terry landing a punch to Finley's groin.

It was an easy decision for league disciplinarian Stu Jackson, who earlier in this postseason tossed Miami's Udonis Haslem for a game for angrily throwing his mouthpiece in the direction of an official.

Cuban, not surprisingly, disagreed with Jackson's penalty. A fine was due, he said, but not a suspension.

Oh, well. Live by Netflix, die by Netflix.

Cuban isn't the only NBA team boss who sends the league office tape. He's just made his team one of the biggest exercisers of the practice.

Now the Mavericks' great opportunity to move past the Spurs in the playoffs for the first time is in great jeopardy. With Terry and the home court, where the Spurs haven't beaten the Mavericks in two games during this series, it seemed like tonight's game was theirs to lose. With Terry in civvies, it will be the Spurs' to lose. This will test coach of the year Avery Johnson and his staff like they haven't been all year.

What, after all, are they to do? Return Adrian Griffin to the starting lineup? Griffin teamed with Terry until it became apparent after Game 1 that the team was better with Devin Harris joining Terry in the backcourt and trying to run past the Spurs. Griffin hasn't even played the last three games.

How about starting Marquis Daniels? Johnson has had to defend Daniels as being one of "his guys" because he seems so often to have little patience for any Daniels miscue, as was the case early in this series, when he snatched Daniels after a horrible turnover and foul.

Or how about return Jerry Stackhouse to a starter's role and sacrifice all that microwaved offense he brings off the bench? The bench is short of scorers as it is.
WFAA-TV
WFAA-TV
Jason Terry, on the bottom of the pile, connects with a punch to the groin area of Michael Finley in Game 5.

Of course, the NBA conspiracy theorists among us are probably saying that this is all a grand scheme by the league to somehow ensure that the most-anticipated matchup of the postseason, which is living up to expectations and then some, keeps going until the deciding Game 7 in San Antonio.

But that's pure poppycock. Don King isn't running this show. And the way these playoffs have been going, what with all the overtimes and buzzer-beaters and nail-biters and upsets, the league doesn't need to orchestrate any theater.

The bottom line is that Terry, one of a locker room full of good guys for the Mavericks, lost his cool for a split second and, as a result, got what anyone else who committed the offense he did would get: a game off.

It wasn't Raja Bell clotheslining Kobe Bryant, which Bell did foolishly in Game 5 of the Suns' opening-round series against the Lakers to draw a Game 6 suspension. It wasn't Ron Artest elbowing Manu Ginobili in the head in the opener of the Kings-Spurs series, which cost the historically feisty Artest a Game 2 appearance. It wasn't Miami's James Posey bum-rushing Chicago's Kirk Hinrich, which cost Posey a game in the Heat-Bulls opening-round series.

But it was a punch. The league doesn't tolerate it; can't tolerate it. Terry has no one to blame except himself – at least for losing his cool.

Having been found out, however, after no one saw anything untoward at first, is something Terry can share with his boss.

Had the fist been on the opposition's arm, you can bet a tape would've been overnighted from Dallas to New York pointing out the transgression and calling for justice.
