So by Mad dog theory of stats the Spurs could play a grade school team, get more foul calls on that team and have the benefit of offciating. The benefit of offciating occurs when bad calls go a particulat teams way. So, stuff that in your pipe and smoke it.
What does that have to do with anything?Quote:

I'm a firm believer that the agressive team gets the calls. If the Spurs take it to the hoop (as Tim, Manu and Tony usually do), they will get more calls than the Mavs, who, as many have pointed out, rely more on jumpshooting.
The point here is throughout the series the officiating has been in the Mav's favor. Calling a foul against the Spurs when a foul occurs is not in the Mav's favor. Calling a foul against a Spur when no one is in sight puts the officiating on the side of the Mav's. The amount of foul calls is irrelevant. The amount of bad foul calls is everything. In that regard game six was actually called pretty fair.

Whatever, I'm out. We'll talk after the game.
I'm just going to let out a big-ass sigh and move on.
I'll leave you with this - the officiating everywhere has been bad, but it's never been in any team's "favor". Three of the league's top officials will be working the game tonight. Think they won't make any questionable calls?
The "feeling' is probably just gas. It happens to the best of us at times.
