Chuck Cooperstein used to be a good radio talk show guy here in Dallas before he became a shill for the Mavies as their P by P. guy. Gotta feed your family so I get it, but he wouldn't sugar coat stuff and could be objective about all the Dallas teams back in the day.
Thank god no joey.
I'd prefer Joey over Salvatore. Salvatore just isn't a good ref. All any fan can hope for is consistency.Quote:

Joey would be good if we were playing on the road, not at home.Quote:

Joey is actually pretty solid tbh. Doesn't get pimped by the crowd.Quote:

I would bet both teams fucking hate this assignment today.
And the only reason why the Spurs shot 48 FTs in that game is because Dallas went to the "hack a Bowen" strategy.Quote:

Salvatore is awful because he calls a lot of touch fouls. It will be hard for the spurs to play defense due to all the touch fouls he will call.
Hopefully he calls touch fouls on Dirk or someone and he has to sit for a time. I don't want TIM sitting as much as he did in game 6, that sucked.Quote:

:lmao spurfan is so stupid sometimes. Salvatore is objectively worse than Joey Crawford for the spurs.
I remember that game. What an abomination. Mavs lost a ring that year.Quote:

Actually to be brutally honest Mavs losing in '06 is way worse than 6. The Spurs lost 6 legitimately. The Mavs were straight up robbed of a ring.
Salvatore is the worst news possible for Spurs fan.
:lol The Mavs blew a 2-0 lead.... they lost by 24 points in a game where Wade only had 9 free throws.... they had no one to blame but themselves that season, tbh....Quote:

The fact that the Mavs were up 2-0 has nothing to do with the fact that they were robbed of a game (game 5 where the heat had a 49 to 25 FTA, although to be very explicit the final FTA total alone does not necessarily indicate foul play either way, but I'm not using the final total as evidence for foul play anyways.)Quote:

If there's bad reffing in favor of the spurs, point it out. Don't look at FTA totals. Just watch the game and make a running tally of "missed calls" (which, admittedly, is necessarily subjective) in favor of team X versus team Y.Quote:

Also, to be brutally honest game 6 was reffed in favor of the Spurs (slightly) overall even though we were on the road in Dallas. Everyone wants to focus on the disgraceful vince carter flop, but overall the spurs were the beneficiaries.
Mavs: 26, 28, 26, 27, 25, 23 = 155Quote:

One wonders if Clipper Nation actually watched that series at all. I have no fucking interest in propping up the Mavs. I hate the Mavs. I hated turtlehead Terry when he played for the Mavs, and I love watching them lose, and even I can fully admit that they were robbed of a ring in '06.Quote:

I'm in favor of anything that eliminates bad reffing. I don't give a shit if the net result is that it helps or hurts the spurs in the long run.
