What a dick move by Jack Nies

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:td

Technical on Wade. Lame.

[ZStomp]

There's a game?

:lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And Dampier hangs on the rim longer than Wade did, Nies sucks on his whistle. Lame.

[ace3g]

and then dampier gets away with hanging on the rim, hmmm oh wait he plays for the mavs

[ace3g]

and if any mav fans say their were players around dampier and that is why he had to hang on the rim, they didnt watch the replay like usual

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao

Nies just called a foul on Shaq saying he hacked Dirk. Replays showed there wasn't even any contact between the two.

Fucking Jack Nies....

[Das Texan]

typical jack nies calls.

[picnroll]

BS pahntom foul for Dirk, what the fuck is this the 2006 Gift to Dirk Finals?

[ace3g]

yeah I know shaq was like 1 inch away from dirk on that shot, I dont know what refs see when Dirk shoots to assume he was fouled but they keep calling it, and it is those calls that get the mavs and dirk going

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I guess Cuban just realized the easiest way to buy an NBA title isn't to pay Michael Finley 20 million a year, it's to fund the NBA referee pension fund with some sizeable donations.

[ace3g]

lets keep a total of the dirk phantom calls: 1

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Go ahead and tack on at least twice this game when Wade has gotten hacked by the Kraut with no call.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Isnt Jack Nies the same guy who had issues with Tim because he tripped over him?

[Dre_7]

AHF complaining about officials?? NO WAY!!!

[Winnipeg_Spur]

Well they finally called Dirk on his spinning, travelling fade-away, so I can die a happy man. :)

[RonMexico]

Nies and Ken Mauer (both out there tonight) have been awful this year... quick whistles against any Mavs opponent... but I guess Stackhouse and Howard can bitch all they want...

[FromWayDowntown]

but I guess Stackhouse and Howard can bitch all they want...

[Mav Fan] You're on crack -- Mavs players don't ever complain about officiating. They just suck it up and play without thinking about the officials. [/Mav Fan]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

AHF complaining about officials?? NO WAY!!!

You're right, nothing says great officiating like zebras calling fall calls where the replay clearly shows there was space (air) in between the two players and no contact.

That's certainly great for the game...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao Another great call by Jack Nies. Howard bowls over Wade, foul is obviously on DWade.

[Bob Lanier]

Walker got all ball!

[ducks]

mavs are not going to sweep

shaq is playing like shit again

[Duncanoypi]

anyone have gif or video with oneal's foul on dirk...(i mean non-foul)

[ace3g]

its funny I am surprised no mav fans have come in here to defend Dirk and Jack

[LEONARD]

And Dampier hangs on the rim longer than Wade did, Nies sucks on his whistle. Lame.

Wade was called for PULLING UP...not for hanging too long. He dunked, then with arms extended he proceeded to do a chin-up, then let go. EASY call...

Started like this (barely above the rim to dunk it)

and ended like this...

Pretty clear cut when you do a chin-up...

Dampier hung a little...borderline...could've gone either way. He had a player closer to him than Wade did, but still not right under him or anything...

He didn't pull up, but did kick his feet out...Shaq was right behind him...

It seems like I remember Damp looking back to check before dropping off the rim...which might be why they didn't call it. Damp has been known to hang and get T'd up though...


its funny I am surprised no mav fans have come in here to defend Dirk and Jack

There's no point...everybody in this thread is just looking for calls against the Heat that were bogus in the mind of a Spurs fan. Completely over-looking the calls that go the other way. The officiating was plenty fair last night...bad calls both ways...missed calls both ways...touch fouls, 3 seconds, traveling, palming...they called it all...

The Mavs blew the game...there's no point in sitting around talking about officiating...

[rayray2k8]

Haha!! Look at Shaq's face!
