Official NBA Finals Thread

[Spurologist]

Avery Johnson needs a hug. :lol

[aaronstampler]

The Diesel is 12-40, 30% FTs in the Finals. But remember gang, "He makes them when they count."

[Spurologist]

Dirk traveled on that last jump shot but gotta let that slide. Haslem got away with a travel earlier.

:lol Anyone want to comment on that last abc promo spot for the finals. This can help you: It was gay.

[Bob Lanier]

Is Shaquille O'Neal the biggest asshole the NBA has ever known? Experts say yes.

Why did the Mavs stop doubling the post when Mbenga came in?

Heat have attempted 18 more free throws this quarter than the Mavs. This is the most insidious help the referees have given Dallas yet. I see what you did there, Stern!

[boutons_]

Heat can't hit shit, wide-open 10 - 12 footers, clang,while Terry and Howard are dropping them.

[boutons_]

Heat shooting 40%, missed 14 FTs, and down only 6.

[Dre_7]

WOW! Wade almost hit that! :lol

[Spurologist]

Best D for the heat is to deny Terry the ball. Dirk might as well go home before he soils himself in public again

[Mavtek]

WTF? Heat 36 FT's! Dallas 9!!

HA HA HA AHA HA AHA HA HA HA AH

[DirkAB]

Is Shaquille O'Neal the biggest asshole the NBA has ever known? Experts say yes.


Can you say sour grapes? Awfully bitter, aren't we Pistons fan?

[DirkAB]

WTF? Heat 36 FT's! Dallas 9!!

HA HA HA AHA HA AHA HA HA HA AH

Is it funny that your team keeps fouling the Heat??? I wouldn't be laughing about it if I were you, I'd be pissed at your team, fuckin' hackers.

[Spurologist]

WTF? Heat 36 FT's! Dallas 9!!

HA HA HA AHA HA AHA HA HA HA AH

100% of mavs' shots = jump shots

[angel_luv]

Let's go heat!

[Bob Lanier]

Can you say sour grapes? Awfully bitter, aren't we Pistons fan?
Absolutely not. My hatred for Shaquille O'Neal predates his being a threat to any team I care about. I've thrown my full support behind any team playing against that obnoxious fucking tub of lard since he's been in the NBA.

The bigger question is, why is a Kings fan constantly riding Shaq? If anyone should have "sour grapes", it should be the team who was most obviously cheated out of a championship during his prime.

While I dislike several of Miami's key players, it's not because of fear or bitterness. I blame my own team for their failures.

[Spurologist]

It's ok. The first step is admitting you are guilty.......of heat hating

[Bob Lanier]

Dirk is choking.

Hack-a-Shaq. :elephant

[aaronstampler]

Shaq isn't getting out there soon enough

[Slinkyman]

why was Dirk calling for the ball? he hasn't hit a shot in the 4th since april, just get the fuck out of Terry's way you big german bastard.

[Das Texan]

what is with all these gay ass fucking fouls?

[Spurologist]

Heat still don't get it. Terry is fucking killing you. Double team, prevent him from getting the ball, trap so he doesn't score.

[Slinkyman]

Heat still don't get it. Terry is fucking killing you. Double team, prevent him from getting the ball, trap so he doesn't score.

no shit, someone tell them Dirk can't hit shit AGAIN and it's the 4th you know he can't hit a shot in the 4th.

[aaronstampler]

Last year it was matchbox 20, now tom petty. John Cougar Mellancamp next year?

[Bob Lanier]

what is with all these gay ass fucking fouls?
It's part of David Stern and Bennett Salvatore's diabolical plan to illegitimately award Mark Cuban an NBA championship.

:lmao Haslem shoves Dampier out of bounds and Dallas is called for a lane violation? It'll just make the Mavs look even more heroic when, due to ref interference, they pull off the win despite shooting 30 fewer FTAs.

[Spurologist]

Refs needs to fucking swallow their whistles now. This is a man's game

[aaronstampler]

they have to take Shaq out he's so worthless.

[Spurologist]

WADE is fucking out of his mind

[nbascribe]

Wade doing what Dirk can't do...put his team on his back when it really counts.

Notice how Dirk isn't touching the rock a lot?

[Dre_7]

Wade is Mr. 4th Quarter.

[aaronstampler]

Wade doing what Dirk can't do...put his team on his back when it really counts.

Notice how Dirk isn't touching the rock a lot?

Well a part of is just natural physiology. It's a lot easier to be low to the ground and dribble at 6-5 than 7-0. It's pointless debating who's better. They're both top 5 players who could score on anyone 1 on 1.

[thispego]

i would not like to be a mavs fan right now

[Bob Lanier]

The fix is in!

[Spurologist]

wtf was that?

[Spurologist]

Walker his hands straight up

[dav4463]

this board is awesome...helps a lot since i can't watch this one live right now....sometimes working at night sucks!

[nbascribe]

Wade should have pumped and just shot that as a normal shot from fifteen feet. Wade just needs to take Harris off the dribble.

[Slinkyman]

so who gets the shot for the mavs? Dirk? Terry? Howard? . . . Dampier? :lol

[Bob Lanier]

WTF? :madrun Wade was hammered by Harris!

Dallas timeout, 24 seconds on the game clock, 16 on the shotclock.

[nbascribe]

Let's see what kind of defense this team has now.

[aaronstampler]

91-91, Mavs ball with 23 secs left in the game, and 16 on the shot clock, in case you were wondering dav.

[Spurologist]

The refs are calling all kinds of ticky tact fouls late in the fourth but decide swallow their whistle when it looked like Harris touched Wade. Good decision but be fucking consistent

[Repeater]

WADE is fucking out of his mind

[nbascribe]

WTF? :madrun Wade was hammered by Harris!

Dallas timeout, 24 seconds on the game clock, 16 on the shotclock.
Wasn't hammered. Harris was off on his right and behind him.

[Repeater]

Wade is Mr. 4th Quarter.

[Slinkyman]

so who gets the shot for the mavs? Dirk? Terry? Howard? . . . Dampier? :lol

SHIT HOW DID I KNOW?

[aaronstampler]

Um, Shaq is like retarded.

[Das Texan]

what a breakdown for miami.


dallas essentially had 2 guys wide open down low.


damn.

[nbascribe]

okay it was a gamble. 10.1 seconds left. Wade is going to get the ball and try to go for the tie/win.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:tu :tu DALLAS :tu :tu

[Bob Lanier]

DAMPIER! Dallas up 2, 10.1 seconds to go.

Salvatore's hand of god touched Dirk's pass directly underneath the basket.

Why can't Flip Saunders draw up a play like that? :madrun

[Spurologist]

SHIT HOW DID I KNOW?

I see Jim's disease is passing around

[Dre_7]

Great D by Shaq. :pctoss

[nbascribe]

Watch the slip screen up top. Wade has 37.

This is going to be the same scenario as game 3 almost. Wade is getting this ball and call.

[Burn531]

As the dumbass Mike Breen would say "BANG!!"

[aaronstampler]

Wow. He's not human.

[Bob Lanier]

Should have been an and-1 for Wade.

[Spurologist]

Wade Was Fouled!!! Mark Cuban paged Salvatore for that.

[atxrocker]

wade is the fucking man

[Dre_7]

D WADE!!!!!! Unreal!!

This guy is amazing.

[angel_luv]

Wow!

That is all.

[Dre_7]

Wade is the TRUTH.

[dav4463]

dirk would have been given the free throw gift.

[angel_luv]

Phew!!!!!!!!! That was close!

[Bob Lanier]

Wade Was Fouled!!! Mark Cuban paged Salvatore for that.
:rollin

Terry misses at the buzzer. OT.

[Slinkyman]

game 5's something about game 5's

[nbascribe]

Okay this is gonna be really interesting now. Dallas uses their last time out and there's 2.9 seconds. I'm think Dirk may get the ball here. If I'm Miami, I'd foul before that shot gets off.

Well scratch that. It's overtime. I actually like this for Miami.

[atxrocker]

dwayne fucking wade. what a superstar. he is the real beast from the east

[Spurologist]

game 5's something about game 5's

Get that smile out now.

http://images.chron.com/content/news/photos/05/06/20/nba2.jpg

[aaronstampler]

Maybe they should try giving the ball to shaq. Dampier has 5. Maybe after he's gone nobody will be able to stop the big fella from dunking while being fouled.

[nbascribe]

We're about to see what these teams are made of. I'd play two man with Wade and Shaq now. Dallas' centers are in foul trouble (Dampier has 5 and Mbenga has 4).

They need to pound this into Dallas' defense and make that interior play. Howard has 4 fouls too.

[Spurologist]

Diop out
Damp - 5 fouls???
Mbenga = will get destroyed/ fouling machine
Horn = foiling on the bench right now

[nbascribe]

He's using that bank shot really well.

[Spurologist]

Good call

[nbascribe]

Hasslim has fouled out. Anderson comes in. Good call.

[Bob Lanier]

Breen is amazed and disgusted that any call could go against Miami. :lol

[nbascribe]

Okay Miami needs to continue their gameplan and make Dallas a jump shooting team.

[aaronstampler]

Wade's taking every shot. Perhaps he should pass once in a while. Maybe they'll pass it back and the defense won't be in as good shape.

[thispego]

wow what a game, go for the kill, heat

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Avery should talk to the refs and tell them to let Haslem keep playing. The players should decide the game, not officials. :lol

[nbascribe]

I hate that dayum rule. They need to change that in overtime. It's flat stupid.

[nbascribe]

Somebody get dirk off that darn milk cartoon.

[aaronstampler]

Um, Avery is way on the court during play. Isn't that a T? These refs are blind.

[nbascribe]

Yeah it is. He's out of the box and on the playing field.

[Das Texan]

Avery is stupid for going to that in overtime.


It has accomplished zero for his team.


Totally stupid when you arent in the penalty.

[thispego]

riley is the shit

[Spurologist]

I hate that dayum rule. They need to change that in overtime. It's flat stupid.

what rule is that?

[Das Texan]

Um, Avery is way on the court during play. Isn't that a T? These refs are blind.


he always does that.

[nbascribe]

It's a rule that allows you to deliberately foul a player during a side out play. You can let the ref know you're going to do that. But once you reach two minutes, it's a free throw and ball.

[Spurologist]

what rule is that?

got it

[nbascribe]

They ran that play on the wrong side. Coming left is a disadvantage. Shaq's back in.

[Spurologist]

It's a rule that allows you to deliberately foul a player during a side out play. You can let the ref know you're going to do that. But once you reach two minutes, it's a free throw and ball.

Stern loves the mavs. The rule affects only the pistons and heat.

[nbascribe]

Good foul. Put him on the line and stop the clock.

[aaronstampler]

What was Wade doing? He's just running around, guarding nobody.

[nbascribe]

Rule has been in existence for years long before the Mavs ever got here.

[nbascribe]

dayum.

[Spurologist]

Mark Cuban paged Salvatore just in time.

[nbascribe]

Shaq got five now.

[aaronstampler]

way after the ball left his hand...

[nbascribe]

their misses are keeping the heat in this game. missed two. this could hurt now.

[nbascribe]

That zone can be busted. Need to run plays to Shaq on strongside. Make it move right to left.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

Why'd Riley pull Shaq if the Mavs weren't even in the penalty? That's a real head scratcher... :wtf

[aaronstampler]

Riley's going to really have to design one heck of a play here. They're not going to give Wade a good look with only 7 seconds left.

[Spurologist]

Maimi have a 2 for 1 situation here. 7 seconds on the clock now. Get the ball to payton on top and have Wade run off a double screen to either shoot or pass to an open player. Getting points isn't critical but need to get off a good shot

[aaronstampler]

Why'd Riley pull Shaq if the Mavs weren't even in the penalty? That's a real head scratcher... :wtf

Because he's given up any hope of Shaq even being trusted to make one of two. He's worthless.

[aaronstampler]

Wow! GP are you with me!

[Spurologist]

My play worked but good D by Dallas but better drive by Payton

[angel_luv]

:oops

I just cheered for Payton. :wow

[Slinkyman]

payton is a go to guy all of a sudden

[aaronstampler]

Wow, big shot by Dirk.

[aaronstampler]

He's trying to do the stupid tought guy face scrunched up thing that Terry does. He looks stupid.

[Spurologist]

It's Wade to seal the game. That is all.

[sanman53]

My fav stat of the night was Stock/Malone most games played w/o a title! lol

[Bob Lanier]

Wade to the free throw line for the win! FUCK YOU, SALVATORE!

[aaronstampler]

Wow. He like went through 4 people and refused to be denied.

[aaronstampler]

I don't think Manu or TP would have gotten that call.

[Das Texan]

you cannot fucking bail a player out like that.

[Spurologist]

:lmao CHRIS WEBBER

[Slinkyman]

Josh Howard is the new Chris Weber

[angel_luv]

Wha wha what?????

[Bob Lanier]

Josh Howard is a choking bitch of the highest order. :lmao

[angel_luv]

That was a major mess up!

[aaronstampler]

Yeah, like I've said before, Howard isn't the smartest player around.

[Mavtek]

Jobbbbbbbeeeddddddd

[nbascribe]

Dayum is Chris Webber in the building in a Mavs uniform?

[jochhejaam]

Nice josh...

[angel_luv]

I am so sick of Avery constantly walking on the court like he just did.

[Das Texan]

why was avery crying?

i mean i know that probably costs them the game, but your players cant be stupid liek that.

[angel_luv]

yikes!

[Spurologist]

:lmao

[angel_luv]

Yes, yes, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

[nbascribe]

Jobbbbbbbeeeddddddd

Dayum do you know the fucking rule

[Slinkyman]

:lol Josh Howard MVP for Miami

[aaronstampler]

the Avery presser oughta be interesting.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fucking beautiful. :lol 101-100.

[nbascribe]

I've said it before...EXPERIENCE in the clutch!!

[thispego]

wow, hahahahahahahaha, thats pretty demoralizing for dallas

[angel_luv]

That win is on Howard. I would not want to be him on the plane ride home.

[Das Texan]

and josh howard just fucked his team up royally.


i hope avery and cubes complain about that timeout call until tuesday.

[beachbarbie948]

hahahahaa "Mark Cuban is furious!"

that made my day

[Slinkyman]

Jobbbbbbbeeeddddddd

jobed? is that latin for howard is a dumbass?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I can't figure out what was more pathetic...

Avery crying about a timeout his player called, or Bennett Salvatore trying to wave it off and get the players back on the FT line.

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao :lmao

[aaronstampler]

The entire Mavs team, plus coaches plus Cuban are bitching the refs out.

[angel_luv]

Well done Miami!

hahahaha I am so watching post game interviews!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Bob Lanier]

Miami playing 8-on-5 still needs the biggest chokejob of the millenium to win the game? :lmao

The NBA makes boxing look squeaky clean. The Spurs screwed by the refs against Dallas, the Mavs screwed by the refs against Miami, the Wizards screwed by the refs against Cleveland...

[resistanze]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Some serious choking the past 3 games.

[Leetonidas]

Jobbbbbbbeeeddddddd

http://homepages.bw.edu/~gwalton/funnies/files/owned.jpg

Oh, the irony. :lol

[nbascribe]

Somebody call Dr. Phil for the West End folk at the arena

[Spurologist]

I can't figure out what was more pathetic...

Avery crying about a timeout his player called, or Bennett Salvatore trying to wave it off and get the players back on the FT line.

told you. He was beeped using his emergency beeper by Mark Cuban but he got OWNED by his own ref. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well, at least now maybe Avery will shut up about the Stackhouse suspension, he can cry about the timeout call for two days now :lmao

[thispego]

howard is gonna get the ol' bar of soap in the sock from his team tonight :lmao

[aaronstampler]

Not time to celebrate just yet folks. The Mavs will get every call in game 6. Miami would pretty much have to play the best game in history of basketball to have a chance. Game 7 MIGHT be called evenly.

[angel_luv]

I feel bad for Howard because I really don't dislike him and he must feel awful.

I am just pleased Miami won.

[nbascribe]

Hmm let's see the last time a team won the middle three games won the NBA title....So sorry Mav fans!!

[FUCKMARKCUBAN]

HEAT 4-2!!! TUESDAY DALLAS WILL CRY....but they are crying already anyhow.

[kolko]

What did Howard do?

[sprrs]

Well done Miami!

hahahaha I am so watching post game interviews!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

:spin Avery looked pissed after that time-out, I can't wait to hear what he has to say about it!

[aaronstampler]

Payton hit a couple of big shots too. But on offense, anybody besides him and Wade were just awful.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Game 6 refs:

Jack Nies
Bob Delaney
Knick Bavetta

I'm calling it now.

[SANANTOJAMES]

dumbass howard

[sprrs]

What did Howard do?

Used Dallas's final time-out afteer the first of Wade's free throws. If he had waited until after Wade had shot his second, they could've advanced the ball to half court and got off a decent shot.

[~Sweetmelody~]

I feel bad for Howard because I really don't dislike him and he must feel awful.

I am just pleased Miami won.


I also feel bad for Howard, poor guy.

[judaspriestess]

I'm way too busy with the World Cup but THANK YOU MIAMI!!! :elephant

Eff you Mavpricks!!!! :drunk

[Solid D]

Welcome to the club, Dallas. You've just been Salvatored.

[thispego]

i hope dirk finally goes awol on one is his teammates tonight

[zocool16]

Damn I mean Avery did that stupid timeout signal...

oh i just realized this should go in the official NBA finals thread... sorry.

[Spurologist]

This is killing me.

1. Avery Calling Timeout
2. Howard calls the timeout
3. Avery looked stunned
4. Asisstant jumping like his dirhhia is kicking in
5. Salvatore trying to back everyone off like nothing happened after he receives the beep from Cuban
6. Other refs steps in and says STFU, they called timeout
7. AJ looks owned
8. Howard = new Chris Webber.
9. AJ/Howard need a hug
10. Cuban goes home and fucks himself because he was owned by the ref he didn't give an emergency beeper to.

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[sexysue]

it was a bad time out

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Welcome to the club, Dallas. You've just been Salvatored.

:wtf

It was Derosa, not Bennett.

[angel_luv]

That was crazy. And to think I almost left to clean instead of watching.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

1. Avery Calling Timeout

Back... and to the left.... Back... and to the left...... :lmao

[gameFACE]

HEEEEELLLLL YEEEAAAAHHH!

This is now the Heat's to lose. Don't fuck up! Sorry Mavs fan. There's always next year......:lol

[angel_luv]

Wow so Howard missed both those free throws two possesions before the time out call- hurt his team on both ends of the court.

[chrischildz]

:D :lol

[FromWayDowntown]

Welcome to the club, Dallas. You've just been Salvatored.

Had it been Salvatore, there would have been no timeout. They got Derosaed, which is to say that they are victims of a correct but untimely call.

Howard appeared to signal that timeout twice. I have no idea why Avery was complaining, other than generally being pissed off that his team just choked away 3 straight.

[Tigole Bitties]

Why was Avery emphatically making the timeout signal after Wade's first FT?

Was he trying to ice Wade or did he think he had two timeouts left?

I don't think it's Howard's fault.

[Das Texan]

so who wants to bet Dallas is shooting some 50 free throws Tuesday night?

[angel_luv]

HEEEEELLLLL YEEEAAAAHHH!

This is now the Heat's to lose. Don't fuck up! Sorry Mavs fan. There's always next year......:lol


No, odd years belong to the Spur, remember? :)

[angel_luv]

Why was Avery emphatically making the timeout signal after Wade's first FT?

Was he trying to ice Wade or did he think he had two timeouts left?

I don't think it's Howard's fault.


I could support it being Avery's fault.

wicked :)

[ballhog]

I love it. Josh Howard just erased any good things he did in the game. They still would have had a damn tough shot to hit at the buzzer. It's a great series. I said Miami in 7 but I hope it's 6. If they lose the next game---single biggest choke job in history.

[Spurologist]

:lmao Someone start an Avery Johnson post game conference THREAD

[windboy226]

Man that last foul...just ridiculous. No more contact on that than the one at the end of regulation where Wade bumped Terry's elbow.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good God, Dallas media already whining about Wade shooting as many FTs as the Mavs team.

How does it feel fuckers?

[aaronstampler]

So much for the theory about Howard scoring 20 guaranteeing a Mavs win. That's twice now this series it didn't work out.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man that last foul...just ridiculous. No more contact on that than the one at the end of regulation where Wade bumped Terry's elbow.

Or the play where Shaq's ass 'fouled' Josh Howard with about a minute left in regulation, but hey who's keeping track?

STFU Mav fan.

[rayray2k8]

howard is gonna get the ol' bar of soap in the sock from his team tonight :lmao
:lol

[aaronstampler]

:lmao Someone start an Avery Johnson post game conference THREAD

Unfortunately, Entourage comes on at 10, so I'll probably miss it. Maybe he'll decide not to talk and Cuban will pay his fine.

[dav4463]

Cuban has no one to thank but himself for the foul that Dirk committed on Wade's last drive to the basket. He is the one that pushed the rules through to the league to make it a more open game so players could drive to the hoop! He said it on Letterman.....HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you feel now Mav fans? Kind of like the night Dirk shot 24 free throws and the team shot 50 against the Spurs? Except in reverse ????

[angel_luv]

Wade is incredible.

[Spurologist]

Man that last foul...just ridiculous. No more contact on that than the one at the end of regulation where Wade bumped Terry's elbow.

Check yourself. Wade was fouled earlier in regulation on a play that should have been an AND 1. Calls didn't decide the game. CHOKING DID.

[nbascribe]

What did Howard do?

He called the final time out before Wade finished shooting his freethrows.

[angel_luv]

Avery better talk. I am staying up for it- my bedtime story of sorts. :lol

[nbascribe]

When the transcripts are available, I'll have them up on the board. May be awhile. But hopefully later tonight or in the morning.

[windboy226]

Or the play where Shaq's ass 'fouled' Josh Howard with about a minute left in regulation, but hey who's keeping track?

STFU Mav fan.

Hey chill on the anger...Some of us are here to comment on the game. Not troll or get a rise out of Spurs fans. I've been pretty damn respectful of the posters and the site around here so don't lump everyone into one category. There are plently of Mavs trolls around but there's certainly plenty of Spurs fans who egg them on. I'm here to talk basketball-nothing else.

[Das Texan]

Avery better talk. I am staying up for it- my bedtime story of sorts. :lol



that would be fun to see.

[angel_luv]

Miami hasn't won in Dallas in four years?

[Spurologist]

He called the final time out before Wade finished shooting his freethrows.

AND that was their last timeout = they couldn't advance the ball to mid court to get a better shot off.

[angel_luv]

When the transcripts are available, I'll have them up on the board. May be awhile. But hopefully later tonight or in the morning.

Thanks. :)

[Tigole Bitties]

I'm just waiting for Avery to point out Wade's "ridiculous" free throw shooting in tonight's game, and then have some media guy reference Dirk's FTs from game 3 against the Spurs.

[Spurologist]

Avery better talk. I am staying up for it- my bedtime story of sorts. :lol

:lmao

[angel_luv]

Dude Dirk is mad. Who else say him on ESPN?

[rayray2k8]

Man that last foul...just ridiculous. No more contact on that than the one at the end of regulation where Wade bumped Terry's elbow.
Yeah you're right man. That WAS a phantom call.
Aint that a bitch?? :lol

[aaronstampler]

What's the most comical about this series is Dallas is obviously so much the better team, it's ridiculous. Miami has one fucking player, for crying out loud. The series is 3-2 thanks to too much partying my the Mavs players in Miami for Games 3 and 4, and just some boneheaded decisions by their coach and role players.

[FUCKMARKCUBAN]

dirk is such a bitch...... fuckin bitches thats all the dallas squad is made of.

[nbascribe]

Dallas choked this one too. They had their moments.

Go ROSCOE NANCE!! LOL

[Solid D]

Now Dallas knows how it feels to lose a close game because of questionable call to send the star to the line in the final seconds. Salvatore bails him out as the trailing ref.

[aaronstampler]

Dude Dirk is mad. Who else say him on ESPN?


Missed it, what happened?

[nbascribe]

Okay if the Heat win this thing, you gotta give the MVP trophy to Flash.

[nbascribe]

Missed it, what happened?

Started kicking shit again. His ass didn't do anything all freaking game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Cuban on FSN...

[rayray2k8]

Dude Dirk is mad. Who else say him on ESPN?
What the fuck is he mad for???
If anybody, he should be beating the shit out of Howard.
Boy im glad the spurs passed up on this guy.
Missed 2 very important shots and went Chris Webber on his team. :lol

[aaronstampler]

Okay if the Heat win this thing, you gotta give the MVP trophy to Flash.


Oh, you think so professor? I don't know...he might have a close vote with J-Dub.

[Solid D]

:wtf

It was Derosa, not Bennett.

Salvatore made the call on the phantom foul call on Dirk to send Wade to the line with under 2 secs. left. He called it from the back side.

[FromWayDowntown]

Now Dallas knows how it feels to lose a close game because of questionable call to send the star to the line in the final seconds. Salvatore bails him out as the trailing ref.

For the Mavericks tonight, this was a microcosm of the frustration that Spurs fans felt in Games 3 & 4 of the WCSF. I'm loving that I'm hearing about unfair free throw disparities and bogus calls. There is such a delicious irony to it.

[angel_luv]

Missed it, what happened?


He was kicking at confetti as he left the court. I believe he hit the wall. And I know he momentarily knocked over a stationary bike.

I couldn't tell what he was muttering but something tells me it wasn't Sunday language.

[angel_luv]

:lol Cuban on FSN...


I missed it! Darn! What did he say?

[nbascribe]

Can somebody please call the Detroit Pistons for Miami and ask them how they won their title now? lol

Oh wait, Shaq and Payton were on the Lakers, maybe they remember.

[J.T.]

The bad call at the end of the game that sent Wade to the FT line to win the game is just karma making up for the two no calls against Ginobili and Duncan on the final play of regulation in Game 7.

Payback's a bitch.

[aaronstampler]

What the fuck is he mad for???
If anybody, he should be beating the shit out of Howard.
Boy im glad the spurs passed up on this guy.
Missed 2 very important shots and went Chris Webber on his team. :lol

I keep telling people, I DON'T LIKE HIM AS A PLAYER. He's got a lot of talent, but he has ZERO basketball sense. He makes a lot of stupid plays on the court all the time, and commits more touch fouls than any "good" NBA player. Plus, his shot and his shot selection are both seriously questionable. And if he doesn't have a good first quarter, he's a ghost the rest of the game.

[angel_luv]

Cuban a class act?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :lmao


That FSN guy is a comedian.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Is anyone watching FSN sports? They just showed a clip of Mark Cuban complaining.

I keep chaning back and forth NBA Live and FSN sports
LOL

They also showed the hissy fit clip by dirk.

Man the guy on FSN just said "Mark Cuban is a class act!" :lol

[Bob Lanier]

How do you feel now Mav fans? Kind of like the night Dirk shot 24 free throws and the team shot 50 against the Spurs? Except in reverse ????
I kind of get the feeling that Spurs fans would be perfectly fine with winning a championship if they were the ones benefitting from bullshit calls to a degree that the games appeared staged.

Yes - you were screwed in the conference semifinals series. Not by the Mavs; by the NBA. Dallas is currently being screwed in the Finals. Not by the Heat; by the NBA. "An eye for an eye" is a juvenile and shortsighted philosophy - and even more so when the fucking general principle at the root of the Spurs getting fucked this year, the smallball rules enforced by the league office, ain't going away anytime soon.

The current state of NBA refereeing is unjust. Be a bigger man and recognize and oppose the injustice regardless of whether your personal sense of schadenfreude agrees with it or not.

dayum I missed that...lol

Cuban a class act...Okay Angel you don't have to be nice too him...:lmao

Yes, but we we voiced our opinions on the matter Mavs fans called us whiners and other shit, so let's see what they do if they are above "whining"

[adidas11]

That timeout called at by Josh Howard can be blamed 100% percent on AJ. He signalled for a time out, can't confuse your players like that.

[gameFACE]

Wow. If the Mavs still manage to pull this out they will have won the title without ever winning a game on the Heat's court. WEAK! Dallas is still soft, regardless.

GO HEAT! :smokin

Cuban and Dallas made it this way. The Spurs players and coaches don't care. They just play and adapt to anything. Yes, some Spurs fans are whiny and classless, but the important thing is that the coaches and the players aren't. Dallas can't say that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I missed it! Darn! What did he say?

Cuban was asking about the foul on Wade, and the Dallas Mavericks play by play guy said there was no contact. Puban said 'that's fucking bullshit' (they beeped it though).

He was shaking his head and said the officiating was a sham. I didn't hear him complaining after games 3 and 4 vs. us.

[ShoogarBear]

I couldn't tell what he was muttering but something tells me it wasn't Sunday language.It's Monday on the East Coast.

Oh, and Mav Fan, some suggested reading material:

I really want to mute the Dallas media bullshit, but this is too much fun to listen to :lol

And Dirk kicked the door.

Dude you are not going to win if you commit a Hall of Fame choke job. It's the history of the league. There was many calls that went against Maimi. Let me know if you want me to name them

Of course the play by play man said no contact. I'm sure he enjoys his job and salary.

It appeared to Howard that Johnson was calling a timeout. Howard does the signal while walking towards the bench.

oops!

East Coast sucks sometimes but I know I will have a good sleep if even if I don't sleep after watching this

:lmao

[angel_luv]

Shaq is up.. does that mean I missed Avery?

[angel_luv]

Someone beaten up in Shaq's ritzy neighborhood right outside his house?

Geesh!

If I was the reporter I wouldn't have wasted my question on such a random incident... but whatever.

[rayray2k8]

I love it when Shaq just gets real close to the mic and starts mumbling non-sense.
I can hear the dude breath for godsakes!!

[nbascribe]

Anyone gonna check out Cubie's blog
Yeah I'll check it in an hour or so and see.

He may not post anything.

Still waiting on Avery.

[Spurologist]

It was said he was after Shaq but he might need to give Dirk some tissues and some baby formula WITH A BIB so he can put him to sleep. That can take time.

[angel_luv]

Oooh if Cuban posts in his blog will you put the link to it in here? I need something to read over breakfast.

hehehehe

[infinite styles]

on ESPN's postgame coverage they spent about 10-15 mins. arguing how the Mavs shouldn't have been called for a foul on that final play because its the finals and what not. I wanna know where all of that disgust in calls that decide a game were at in the second round?

[rayray2k8]

Alright people, set your DVR's and VCR's, Avery is up next.

And for those who don't, when the league makes the transcript available to us working stiffs, I'll get it posted for you.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Avery up.

Swears he wanted the TO after the second timeout. :lol
