Official NBA Finals Thread

[nbascribe]

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?

BJ I can say has a point, Paul Silas don't know shit.

The national media doesn't give a shit about the spurs. They probably think we got our just desserts.

[nbascribe]

Avery is up. He's a little calm for me. He's saying the right things though.

[nbascribe]

I take that back...he's being ass.

[Spurologist]

Someone please ask the most SIMPLE QUESTION.

What is going on in the locker room?!!! Ask it now??????!!!!!

[nbascribe]

Oh this is classic.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Avery trying to get the press to say the call on Wade at the end was crap.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What a fucking dick.

[rayray2k8]

Dont be a bitch avery, just fucking answer the media.

[nbascribe]

This is so freaking funny.....lol

[angel_luv]

Thanks GM.

Can't you just hear them at Mavs Talk.

:)

Avery needs some home cooking.

He needs some Midol!

And :wtf why is Avery asking the reporter the questions????? :wtf :lol

[thispego]

wow

[~Sweetmelody~]

okay............. :lol

[Viva Las Espuelas]

avery. low class.

[angel_luv]

Oh my gosh....

Avery telling the reporter to not stutter.

Avery is meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelting. :wow :lol

[Spurologist]

:lmao

"Don't stutter."

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Haha, Avery just owned himself. Answer the question, random anonymous press dude.

Fuck you, he asked you.

[nbascribe]

That's how you ask that question..the guy from Florida did it right.

[beachbarbie948]

Wow...this is the funniest press conference ever

[angel_luv]

Wow...

[Das Texan]

this is fucking awesome!!!


"home cooking"

;)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don't stutter? Talk about classless...

And yet some of you still want to retire his jersey. I hope you're watching, the real AJ is shining through.

[nbascribe]

Haha, Avery just owned himself. Answer the question, random anonymous press dude.

Fuck you, he asked you.

That guy was from Dallas and is an asshole. Everybody hates his ass.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

did avery say "conferdent"? they felt "conferdent"?

[infinite styles]

Damn AJ's a dick! Answer the damn question!

[adidas11]

I need to be recording this post game press conference by AJ. This is classic.

[rayray2k8]

I kinda feel bad for dallas.
They played well enough to win the game..
But they fucking choked at the end.

[Low End Specialist]

Someone already has a case of the Mondays haha

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Does Avery thinks anyone believes him when he says they're tough minded? They've choked two games already in this series.

[Spurologist]

Someone please ask the most SIMPLE QUESTION.

What is going on in the locker room?!!! Ask it now??????!!!!!

Avery: I had to put Dirk to sleep. He was acting like a litte baby bitch. He head is fucked. Only Hasselhoff can save him. FUCK. FUCK.

[nbascribe]

Don't stutter? Talk about classless...

And yet some of you still want to retire his jersey. I hope you're watching, the real AJ is shining through.

Hey Aggie it's not the fans wanting to, the ownership is doing it. Stop trying to play Rush Limbaugh up here with your Averytude.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Don't stutter? Talk about classless...

And yet some of you still want to retire his jersey. I hope you're watching, the real AJ is shining through.
i hope Tim changes to number 6 so AJ has no chance. not the he had a shot.

[rayray2k8]

ESPN pulled away.
Its on FSN now if anybody is wondering.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That guy was from Dallas and is an asshole. Everybody hates his ass.

So that makes it okay for kind, gentle AJ that helped your career to be a dick to the guy?

[sprrs]

Now he's trying to get other people (namely reporters) to whine for him. :rolleyes

[nbascribe]

Okay for the last fucking time on the retirement, upper management is retiring the jersey. Everybody got that right? That's Russ Bookbinder and the ones that sign Pop's checks.

[infinite styles]

That guy was from Dallas and is an asshole. Everybody hates his ass.

So even when a guy asks you a question thats legit, you act like a dick? I guess if a more credible journalist ask the same question he replies differently.

[adidas11]

AJ blames the time out fiasco on the refs. Priceless.

[angel_luv]

That guy was from Dallas and is an * Everybody hates his *.


Still... This isn't jeopardy, Avery. No one wants you to answer with a question. :lol

[nbascribe]

So that makes it okay for kind, gentle AJ that helped your career to be a dick to the guy?

Aggie stop being an aggie for the rest of us educated folk please.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hey Aggie it's not the fans wanting to, the ownership is doing it. Stop trying to play Rush Limbaugh up here with your Averytude

Right, the same ownership that gave Manu #6 when he got here, but was forced to change his jersey number by whiny ass fans led by Don Harris.

Stop trying to act as Avery's press agent on this forum.

[Tek_XX]

And people wonder why his wife is a bitch

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Avery crying over the Payton shot

".....throw a flip shot over one of our bigs"

He head is fucked because
1. He can't remember which big was in the game
2. He thinks "one of his bigs" is Bill Russel.
3. Thinking "Damn I gotta go back to that baby bitch Dirk to make sure his ass is sleeping"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Aggie stop being an aggie for the rest of us educated folk please.

Educated? I'm not the one trying to defend Avery being an asshole to a press reporter that asked him what he thought of a call at the end of game 5 of the NBA Finals, justifying it by saying that everyone hates the guy.

If that's what education gets you, bring on the GED.

[angel_luv]

That press conference was worth the wait.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ha!

[nbascribe]

Right, the same ownership that gave Manu #6 when he got here, but was forced to change his jersey number by whiny ass fans led by Don Harris.

I'm not trying to be Avery's agent, moron. Say something intelligent and maybe I'll give you a response that you don't need a ladder to reach for.

[Spurologist]

Aggie stop being an aggie for the rest of us educated folk please.

It was fucking unprofessional what he did. He is acting like the true ass he is and making a reporter feel uncomfortable. If you love Avery, he will be available at home. You should recognize him because he will be rocking Dirk to sleep.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Terry complains about the home cooking. You got in game 1 and 2 pal, where was the whining then?

[bulletedge]

I think that Nowitzki, Howard & Harris will all be suspended for their intentional, hard foul on Wade at the end of game 5.

I don't understand how Dallas could be such a dirty team.

It is a travesty if they are not all suspended.

Whatever Aggie. I'm done talking about it with you. Ain't worth the energy.

[Spurologist]

what do you think the turning point of the game for the heat was


i'd say it was when shaq missed the 2 free throws, then ended up getting the and-one

*granted, he did come right back and brick 2 again

one picture. That is all.

[infinite styles]

AJ blames the time out fiasco on the refs. Priceless.

Sounded to me like he was blaming the player for calling it and not understanding what he was trying to do....but thats me cause I really didn't understand what Avery was trying to do at the postgame? :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm not trying to be Avery's agent, moron. Say something intelligent and maybe I'll give you a response that you don't need a ladder to reach for.

So, saying something intelligent like "it was okay for Avery to be an asshole to that guy, because that guy is an asshole and everyone hated him anyway"?

Your defense of Avery only qualifies as intelligent if you have one hell of a ladder to reach with. Damn dude, look in the mirror. I'm glad he threw you a couple of bones for your beat report, but come on - he was a complete prick to the reporter.

[nbascribe]

It was fucking unprofessional what he did. He is acting like the true ass he is and making a reporter feel uncomfortable. If you love Avery, he will be available at home. You should recognize him because he will be rocking Dirk to sleep.

It was bushleague for Eddie to try and get that answer the way he did. You lead the coach in that situation not put him into a mode of questioning. Eddie does that all the time and gets reamed.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Whatever Aggie. I'm done talking about it with you. Ain't worth the energy.

Good, let me go work on that edumacation so I can say "intelligent" stuff like 'that guy is an asshole, everyone hates him, so it's okay for Avery to be an asshole to him."

Is that a master's course, or just undergrad?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That guy was from Dallas and is an asshole. Everybody hates his ass.

Yay for intelligence.

I don't understand how Dallas could be such a dirty team.

I think that the extreme acts of choking were more violent than the foul, but then again thats just my point of view, I'm a Spurs fan... :angel :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sweet, we're on a roll.

1. Cuban complains about the officials
2. Avery complains
3. Jason Terry complains
4. Scrub ass Devin Harris complaining now

Who's next? Dirk?

[nbascribe]

Oh and for the record, yeah I like Avery as a person. When I needed a Spur to help get school supplies and stuff together for eastside kids, it was him and DRob who came to my rescue. So yeah I've got a little more admiration for him because he didn't have to do that; even to this day he'll take time out and do things for those kids.

So sue the fuck out of me if I like the fact that as a reporter it's great getting a player who ain't from here to give back to community that only wants a presence. I have yet to get ANY OTHER SPURS PLAYER to do what those two have done.

But that has nothing to do with my job. I just posted that Avery was being an ass about that press conference.

[Spurologist]

Sweet, we're on a roll.

1. Cuban complains about the officials
2. Avery complains

Hold on I need to get a pen and paper to write down the lesson on how to ask a proper question to people in bad situations.

P.S. Why is Darvin Ham such a Dallas homer complaining about the officiating now. He had no problems with it in round 2.

[angel_luv]

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


That FSN guy is a comedian.


This just in... said FSN guy's last name is Ham.

I would have guessed Turkey, but whatever. :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sorry, #5 is Adrian Griffin, not Dirk. "Games shouldn't end like that." :lol

scribe, like I said, the Avery that was the co-community service champion with Avery is dead. This guy that's up in Dallas now, the one crying like a baby about the officiating for three days straight now is a completely different person from that guy.

I liked the old AJ. Dallas has changed him. Cuban has changed him. And he was a complete asshole to that reporter.

[nbascribe]

Ever watch Pop rip somebody in press conference? Same shit happens. You lead in questions. It's the old lawyer trick of examination/cross examination.

Who gives a flying fuck. You react that way = uinprofessional PERIOD. Dude, do you need to take a shower with Avery to cool off. That might be Reporter talk 101, but I don't give a shit. Avery got off his guard and let his anger control him. That is called displaced anger. Admit Avery was fucked in the head at the moment and move on to other things because your intelligence is lacking in this issue

[~Sweetmelody~]

This just in... said FSN guy's last name is Ham.

I would have guessed Turkey, but whatever. :lol


Angel is quick tonight, first jeopardy now turkey. :lol


awwww i feel for howard

[spurfan 21]

josh howard looks like he just cried his ass off. lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Where are you getting this info. West Coast only feed??

Fox Sports SW.

#6 Dallas complainer.... Josh Howard whining about the call on Wade. I like Josh, but I'm losing all respect for him right now.


I've never seen a player get 25 FTs like that by himself.

Hey asswipe, your home boy Dirk did it against the Spurs, where were you then?

Let's see, who's left...

Diop
Dampier
Van Horn
Mbenga
Armstrong
Mavs Man.

Haha... NBA statement from Joey Crawford... said Howard asked for the TO TWICE. "We had to call it."

[angel_luv]

Angel is quick tonight, first jeopardy now turkey. :lol



*curtsey* :)

[nbascribe]

Sorry, #5 is Adrian Griffin, not Dirk. "Games shouldn't end like that." :lol

scribe, like I said, the Avery that was the co-community service champion with Avery is dead. This guy that's up in Dallas now, the one crying like a baby about the officiating for three days straight now is a completely different person from that guy.

I liked the old AJ. Dallas has changed him. Cuban has changed him. And he was a complete asshole to that reporter.

Aggie I never said he hadn't changed as a coach. He had to. Dallas media are a bunch of dweebs outside of Art Garcia, Dwain Price and Newie Scruggs (plus a couple of others). And I've even said that he needs to be professional at times.

But then again we're all expecting him to be professional in his first NBA Finals as a coach. Hell I didn't even have his ass winning the COY trophy. Thought that Mike Brown deserved it more.

But again Aggie, unless you guys have seen this, you don't understand. You think Avery's an ass, try dealing with Pop game in and game out when they lose. He's worse than Avery.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ever watch Pop rip somebody in press conference? Same shit happens. You lead in questions. It's the old lawyer trick of examination/cross examination.

I see Pop being a smart ass to refs sometimes. I can't say I've ever seen him be quite as big a dick to a ref, especially on the podium at the NBA Finals.

Holy shit, Cuban on... he's got tears in his eyes and looks like he is crying.

[Tigole Bitties]

Dirk: "You need a little fingertips."

WTF?

[infinite styles]

Ever watch Pop rip somebody in press conference? Same shit happens. You lead in questions. It's the old lawyer trick of examination/cross examination.

So with all this said in the thread how should the reporter have asked AJ about that foul or should he not have asked at all? In other words "What was your 'impression' of that question late in the press conference?"

[bulletedge]

C'mon, guys- you all are knowledgeable basketball fans...give Avery a break...his ass was still hurting from the fucking his team took at the end of the game.

I'm glad he is finally firing back at the idiots that ask inane questions in press conferences. What do they expect him to say? "I agree with the call?"

Unlike Shaq a couple of games ago at least he shows up to answer questions.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

But again Aggie, unless you guys have seen this, you don't understand. You think Avery's an ass, try dealing with Pop game in and game out when they lose. He's worse than Avery.

FUCK. I don't care how Pop acts in a press conference. It does not make Avery any less of an asshole for how he acted tonight.

:lmao Cuban throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks...

1. Wade wasn't fouled
2. It was a backcourt violation
3. We can't get calls like that, but they can

[nbascribe]

Okay aggie I'll give you the Cuban/Avery reference....

[angel_luv]

If cuban doesn't want to answer questions why is he being interviewed... :rolleyes

[~Sweetmelody~]

OMG Mark Cuban :nope

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm glad he is finally firing back at the idiots that ask inane questions in press conferences. What do they expect him to say? "I agree with the call?"

He had no problems dishing it out the last two days about Stackhouse's suspension, karma's a bitch.

[angel_luv]

But seriously, was that a back court violation on Wade? I wondered momentarily at the time of the play.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fucking A, Darvin Ham is crying like a bitch on FSN. I thought this guy was supposed to be doing color commentary, not Dallas diaper duty...

[infinite styles]

Ok why the hell are they interviewing Cuban in postgame like he just played the game? And once again why is Darvin Ham such a Dallas Homer now? was he on the inactive list the whole season and nobody knew about it?

[angel_luv]

Dirk on the podium.

[angel_luv]

channel 26

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

#7.... Dirk up whining. Something about the stationary bike hacking him on the arm.


But seriously, was that a back court violation on Wade? I wondered momentarily at the time of the play.

Didn't catch the ball until he was across the midcourt line.

[nbascribe]

So with all this said in the thread how should the reporter have asked AJ about that foul or should he not have asked at all? In other words "What was your 'impression' of that question late in the press conference?"
"Avery, what was your situational call that you wanted with Wade at the line and did Josh understand that you wanted the time out after the second free throw?"

totally difussed if you frame it like you were asking a strategy question.

[rayray2k8]

OMG Mark Cuban :nope
What was he saying?

[angel_luv]

I don't dislike podium Dirk... he's aiight.

[angel_luv]

Didn't catch the ball until he was across the midcourt line.


Thanks for clarification. :)

[nbascribe]

Okay blame Dallas media for interviewing Mark Cuban...bunch of dweebs.

[rayray2k8]

im about getting sick and tired of Dirk starting a sentence with
"Well yeah" "or "Oh yeah".
:rolleyes

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao

Dirk: "refs should know we don't want to waste a timeout like that."

So they have to be psychic now too?

[~Sweetmelody~]

What was he saying?

He was being a smart ass, and telling the reporter to ask him some real questions.

[strangeweather]

:lmao Cuban throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks...

1. Wade wasn't fouled
2. It was a backcourt violation
3. We can't get calls like that, but they can
You know, the ref whining by some of the SA media and fans was pretty bad. But even when Pop and the players were completely pissed, they limited themselves to a couple of veiled references.

What the hell are the Mavs thinking? I guess the tone of the organization really does come from the top.

[angel_luv]

What was he saying?


"blah, blah, blah... ask me a real question" x 10. end of interview.

[windboy226]

But seriously, was that a back court violation on Wade? I wondered momentarily at the time of the play.

Wondered that too but haven't gotten to look at a replay. Doesn't matter I guess but if he did it just makes the last 10 seconds a little more controversial.

[nbascribe]

Taht's got to be the weakest argument I've heard tonight.

The refs only call a time out when you signal it. They can't assume anything like that.

[angel_luv]

Dude- Dirk threw the ball in the stands at the end of the game... :nope

[Spurologist]

Is this Cubie video going to shown online?????? Anywhere?????? I want to see CUBIE OWNED

[infinite styles]

"Avery, what was your situational call that you wanted with Wade at the line and did Josh understand that you wanted the time out after the second free throw?"

totally difussed if you frame it like you were asking a strategy question.


I don't think that was the question that he asked him about, I thought it was pertaining to the foul on Wade.

[nbascribe]

Mark Cuban is Drew Rosenhaus of the NBA....:lmao

[angel_luv]

That was good of Dirk not to whine about Wade going to the line... he regained some of my respect there.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Darvin Ham and the rest of the idiots on FSN just showed their ass on the time out "controversy"

[angel_luv]

To those watching FSN...


Are our media such gosh awful homers as these guys?

[nbascribe]

I don't think that was the question that he asked him about, I thought it was pertaining to the foul on Wade.

If you don't ask the obvious and try to say, "Avery it looked like Wade was fouled", you won't get the backlash. That's why I framed it the way I did. 9 out of 10 he'd give you a more pleasing answer.

Now don't be surprised that Darvin Ham gets his ass wrung up next season by refs.

Now he's a freaking referee official.

[nbascribe]

To those watching FSN...


Our are media such gosh awful homers as these guys?

Not this one...FSN is up in Dallas...go figure.

[nbascribe]

There will be fines galore tomorrow...watch and see.

Well those are the same ones I watch after our games, on FSN. Although, that turkey guy is usually not there :lol

[infinite styles]

Darvin Ham and the rest of the idiots on FSN just showed their ass on the time out "controversy"

I never like FSN cause they are like a bunch of bandwagoners but now Ham is making it unbearable. But, will Dallas now realize how much it really does hurt to be fucked in the last seconds of the game or will this be another chance for them to say that its different and we have no right to bitch?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

sounds like armstrong is speaking "jive" on FSN. smack'em yack'em. sheeet

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There we go... Darrell Armstrong = #8.


The NBA, it's fantastic. Can't touch a guy or it's a foul

Someone wanna tell him his boy Cuban was bragging about changing the rules not a week ago so that the perimeter players had free reign.

[nbascribe]

Oh they are killing me. Darvin Hamm is lousy as a player and lousy here.

I swear to god i thought Darrel Armstrong was gonna say "how 'bout them redskins!" :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF? This whole Fox Sports crew is a pack of idiots. The chick is asking Darvin Ham "don't you think Shaq feels bad about his team getting the win like this with the officials?"

Someone tell me she didn't just ask that.

And then Ham is going off about the league being sissy ball.

[nbascribe]

Hamm was a hacker in his day. Why did they put him on the air.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Darvin Ham is a bigger asshat than Avery :td

If Hamm has a job next year, I'm willing to bet that Bennet Salvatore and Joey Crawford will make sure hey gets ten minutes of play time and that's it.

Why don't the just bring our Roy Tarpley for christ's sake. Hamm has never been in the playoffs and done anythng positive for his teams.

[Spurologist]

I wish I was watching that??? Hamm doing post-game???? :pctoss

Now he's a freaking referee official.

Oh okay, I guess thats why I would suck as a reporter cause I'd just ask the question that I wanted to know the answer to, go figure.

But Ham is really sounding like a hypocrit cause all during the SPurs/Mavs series he was like this is todays league and you gotta adjust and the Mavs have done that, but now he's talking about how todays league is terrible and the refs should let the players play.

I'm sorry but this is the league that Cuban has created and now he must own up to it and so should everyone else in that organization.

By the way didn't Ham have his wife arrested for domestic violence while he was with Detroit? Talk about "sissy ball" as he put it. He sure did love sissy ball in round 2 and 3 but now its just disgusting.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Oh shit I didn't get the memo from FSN, its ok to complain about the refs know. Cool I get it know! :drunk

[Tigole Bitties]

im about getting sick and tired of Dirk starting a sentence with
"Well yeah" "or "Oh yeah".
:rolleyes

I think he used the word obviously about 50 times in his 2 minute interview.

[nbascribe]

Dude my tv is smoking with his bullshit.

I can't wait to get a chance and ream his ass on this. FSN is so bush league with that crew. They are so homerish and should be balanced. Just because you cover Southwest area doesn't mean you slant your whole coverage "Go Mavs Go"....dayum this is embarrassing as a person affiliated with them.

"In the words of Don Harris - I'm embarrased and distancing myself."

Okay I've got to listen Jorge Sedano and see how many Mav fans call in bitching about the calls.

later peeps.

[infinite styles]

I am really and truly shocked at how things have changed in such a short time. Just a few weeks ago the Spurs were getting ass raped by officials but nobody thought anything of it except for the Spurs and the fans and now the Mavs get the same treatment and now its a national crisis that the league has turned into sissy ball. Get the FUCK out of town with this shit. The officials sucked this post season but it hasn't been a problem until it became the Mavs problem. Fuck Darvin, Dana and John, Fuck the Mavs and Fuck the Officials and Fuck Mark Cuban.

[Spurologist]

Howard might need some emergency therapy. Cubie has many therapists on speed dial.

Howard might need some emergency therapy. Hasselhoff is on his way to Dallas.

I am really and truly shocked at how things have changed in such a short time. Just a few weeks ago the Spurs were getting ass raped by officials but nobody thought anything of it except for the Spurs and the fans and now the Mavs get the same treatment and now its a national crisis that the league has turned into sissy ball. Get the FUCK out of town with this shit. The officials sucked this post season but it hasn't been a problem until it became the Mavs problem. Fuck Darvin, Dana and John, Fuck the Mavs and Fuck the Officials and Fuck Mark Cuban.



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

Check out line 10.

If Howard lays the guilt on himself like Manu does, he'll kill himself. Ha, I wouldn't be able to look at my teammates, I'd go to my car without dressing.

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, Howard didn't lose the game. It still would have taken a miracle for Dallas to win even if he hadn't called the TO.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

the refs love affair with Wade is why the Mavs loss

if Melo got the calls that wade and Lebron got then he would average 50 a game. Its sickening seeing Wade get away with crap after crap

[infinite styles]

To be honest I can't blame Howard for that cause Avery was very animated in his approach to the situation and even was using the timeout signal emphatically. To a young player in that situation your first thought is most likely "Coach wants to call a TO!" Coach's always tell their players what they want after a free throw but AJ went overboard and conveyed the wrong message to his player in a crunch time situation.

[Spurologist]

Shit, Howard didn't lose the game. It still would have taken a miracle for Dallas to win even if he hadn't called the TO.

Come again. The ball at mid court with 1.9 secs left. Every nba playbook has at least 10 plays for that situation. Miracle is a bit of a stretch but it would have been tough.

Whoever believes what, Howard will feel responsible for the loss. He will need therapy.

[MissAllThat]

Spurologist, have you sent over the gorillas yet?

[ShoogarBear]

You think the Mav players have never seen their coaches make that call in that situation before? Everyone else on the court knew what he meant. Josh choked, plain and simple. But it's not why the Mavs lost.

I think you're right and i don't know that Josh knows the timeout situation, i don't think most players keep track on how many time outs they have left. So maybe Josh thought they had 2 or more left and AJ was trying to ice Wade and they'd still have a time out left. But people will remember Howard for that play like Weber for his timeout, even though the entire Michagan bench was yelling "call time out" the blame falls on the player who called it.

[Borosai]

I haven't even watched any of the games, and I know I won't be the first to say this, but the Mavs, from top to bottom, complain so damn much it's not funny or amusing anymore. They should be the last people complaining about fouls/fts and anything else. When they have a huge ft advantage, they just played hard and earned the win, but when they are on the other end, they get robbed. Cuban and Avery suck balls, and I hope to god they don't win the championship. What goes around comes around...finally.

Wade was amazing with that clutch shot.

And I felt bad for Howard. You could just see a demoralized look in his face after he knew how badly he messed up. I don't know that i used the right word, but i'm sleepy.

And Dirk looked crazy kicking everything on the way to the locker room. It looked bad.

Since NBC now has Sunday Night Football with Madden and Michaels and Monday Night Football is moving to ESPN - ABC had to cut ties with Al once the deal went through... Al mentioned how it was disappointing to him that ABC Sports was letting him go because he couldn't do the NBA playoffs which was one of his favorite times of the year, especially after he had put in over 30 years of service with the company...

Anyone notice the flop Griffin tried to take on Wade at the end of regulation... and Mavs call Spurs and Suns floppers (or Manu and Bell more specifically)... psh

If Darrell Armstrong isn't the biggest flopper in the NBA, well nothing, because he is. It's why I never listen to the Mavericks fans crying about Manu's defense.

Griffin was lucky in that situation IMO. If there's a collision trying to draw a charge the refs are forced to make a judgment call, and that's never a good thing. Just ask Tim Duncan.

[bulletedge]

Lots of things have gone Miami's way the last 3 games. Dirk FINALLY began to pull his head part of the way out of his ass last night (where it has been firmly lodged this entire series).

I know this is a Spurs forum and most of you want Dallas to lose but don't hand the title to Miami just yet. This is the NBA and anything can happen...as we saw in the second half last night. IF, and I'll admit it is a big if, Dallas comes back and wins this series there will be a lot of people eating crow- or "saying Dallas didn't REALLY win the championship", etc. etc.

If they lose, it will be one of the biggest choke jobs by a team in the Finals- ever. But, we will congratulate Miami and get on with our lives. This IS only the NBA after all.

[Obstructed_View]

If they lose, all the little Mav fans go away. Pink elephants everywhere dance...

Oh man, what a great read......


Abso-freakin-lutely. Total BS. By the sound of all the Mavs interviews, I think we take game 6. They are playing against the world and will definitely go down swinging. No matter what, gotta take your hats off to them. Thats a lot of adversity for one team in one week no less. Watch it NBA, you may have created a monster.


NBA should be ashamed of themselves. The Mavs know they outplayed the Heat in that game. They had it flat-out stolen by the refs, no arguing it on this one.


I'm so sick of this ****!!!! Let the ****ing players play instead of calling a foul every ****ing time! Arggghhh!!


really got the impression that there must be a conspiracy, because the refs did everything for him and even the abc idiots talked about Wade, Wade and Wade and what an amazing game he played, although he sucked in every part of the game apart from FT shooting. At halftime "let's talk about Wade first" and every ****ing second in the game it was all about Wade.


Hey, heads up, nobody on this board cares about your feelings after the second round series. There were plenty of Spurs fans *cough spurstalk cough* who complained about all of those things you mentioned above. What's your point, it's a forum for Mavericks fans, not a forum for some Spurs fan who likes to point out how he reacted in certain series as if he's some beacon of exemplary fan etiquette. Some stats regarding those *record* number of free throws you talk about regarding Dirk and the second round series:

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Thanks for at least being honest Leonard. Like I said last night, the only referee mistake on that play was that it was Devin Harris who got him, not Dirk. Personally I think the refs knew he (Harris) had five fouls, that's why they tagged Dirk.

I'm not blaming this particular play or the officiating for the Mav's loss. But this picture shot is a bit decieving. The whistle had already been blown prior to Harris' contact on Wade. If u guys have Tivo, u can clearly see that the whistle was called because Dirk had his hand on Wade's back. Then Harris made contact shortly after, probably trying to avoid the and-1. But even the call on Dirk was a bit fishy. However, when it's all said and done, Howard should have made those free throws. Also he shouldn't have f'ed up on that last timeout call. I watch Tivo on that too, and he clearly called a timeot, not one, but twice. Oh well. Dallas has to play much better at home.
