Like, the Spurs clearly benefited from corrupt reffing in route to their 07 championship when they played phoenix. I'm fine pointing that out.

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 = 155
Heat: 19, 32, 34, 36, 49, 37 = 207
Game 3
D. Wade: 18 Free Throws (entire Heat team 34)
Entire Dallas team: 26 Free Throws
Margin of victory: Heat by 2
Game 5
D. Wade: 25 Free Throws (entire Heat team 49)
Entire Dallas team: 25 Free Throws
Margin of victory: Heat by 1
Game 6
D. Wade: 21 Free Throws (entire Heat team 37)
Entire Dallas team: 23 Free Throws
Margin of victory: Heat by 3
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.
And I have no interest in blindly denigrating the Heat either. The Heat benefited from corrupt reffing in '06. The Heat legitimately beat the Spurs in '13. The Spurs benefited from corrupt reffing in '07 against Phoenix. OKC benefited from corrupt reffing against the Spurs in '12 (Game 6 WCF). The list goes on.
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.
