and then you had a nice lead to old dwade and lost it :downspin:

the refs in this series was not let the Spurs to defend dirk, they gave alot fouls on Spurs players when they just were in front of Dirk and play solid defense on him.

Refs making dubious calls now and then are part of the game.. you have to accept the good with the bad. Over a 7-game series in particular, the better team will prevail. So its team execution and consistency that ultimately determines success or failure. Blaming the refs is just a sign of insecurity.

Very true and when the Mavs lose we will hear these 3 excuses, J-Ho is still not healthy, we should have traded for Shaq and the refs screwed us.

Oh and for both you will also here "(insert coach's name here) sucks!"

:)

Of all the above though, the refs excuse will be heard the most. Many members of both fanbases tend to lean a little heavy on that one.

Good ones also, the Spurs version would be "Finley/Bonner is a piece of shit, Fire Pop and Dirk got all the calls".

:lol

it's calling it like you see it. There *were* bad calls against the Spurs that series, and considering how very evenly matched it was, they were series altering calls IMO.

Maybe you're just too insecure to call out the refs?

the spurs got screwed just as bad in the Spurs-Mavs series as the mavs did in the Mavs-heat finals.
funny how mavs fans have been crying for years over those finals whilest ignoring the fact that they got the same exact treatment in the WCF resulting in their 'win' against the spurs.

The Spurs move their entire center rotation to the end of the bench, leaving Tim Duncan as the only big player in the paint.

Dirk Nowitzki goes to the line a lot, and Tim Duncan struggles with foul trouble.

Do Spurs fans really fail to see the correlation between these two events?

You do remember The Trip Over the Foot, don't you? The one Tim fouled out on?

Describe to me how that's not a series altering call.

btw, throwing your opinion out there as fact (that going small ball wasn't the best option against the extremely small lineups mavs trotted out) won't get you any points.

Oh, no doubt there were bad calls. But I don't dwell on them, particularly years after the fact.. really doesn't serve any constructive purpose to do so. Personally, I think Pop and the Spurs would be embarrassed by such behavior. Maybe some fans could try and emulate their classy example of not making any excuses.

once again. Tim Duncan shot more free throws than the entire Maverick team that series.

If he actually made them then they wouldve advanced easily, instead having to pull the ref card and "series altering" bullshit.

Fail.

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Spurs winning 6 straight titles would be better for me then seeing mavs win any, but tha't just me

What gets eats me as a Spurs fan is that there should be six trophies in that case and not four... I think we were robbed in '04 and '06 by officiating. 04 shot shouldn't of count, and 06 all out bad officiating. To say that championships teams find a way to win just covers up up the fact that lesser teams get helped sometimes. Just call it fair, I can take a loss because our team played bad, but when you're already taking a handicap from calls going the other way... It's like what are you trying to prove or say about your team, that we are so good we can win when the calls go against us. F that, call it even and give me the ring!
