    You can and moan about the officiating until you're blue in the face, but the Spurs simply didn't execute down the stretch, and made crucial turnovers late in the game. When was the last time we saw them flubb up an in bounds pass late in the fourth period of a playoff game? Those are the type mistakes we're accustomed to the Mavs making in pressure situations, not the world champs.

    I know the Spurs won't go down without a fight, so I'm not saying this series is over until one team has 4 victories, and last time I checked no one does yet. However, it won't matter who's officiating the game if you continue to make big mistakes late in close games. I thought that was what made the Spurs special, closing out games, and mental toughness. Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now.

    Yeah, that "foul" that sent Dirk to the line with 8 seconds left to tie the game was a real execution flaw. Sending Dirk to the line is like giving him a layup and no ref should call that with the game on the line.

    I call bull on that one.

    Oh and dont forget about Duncan being "inside" the arc when he was really 2 ft out of it as another execution flaw. Yea the Bull flag is flying high on that one too

    Not to mention the Terry "leaner" that led to Manu's departure at a critical time in the ballgame (2:28 left in regulation).

    Keep blaming it on the refs, but if your boys execute like the champions they are suppose to be they should close out the game before that even comes up.

    It's funny how you missed the bs call where Parker never drew iron on the shot clock violation, but the refs say it grazed the rim, or when Duncan loses control of the ball and it bounces off the shot clock, then the refs say the Mavs deflected it.

    Yes, there were bad calls, but it went both ways. You're just bitter that your team didn't execute when they should've. Put the blame where it belongs.

    P.S. save you ing about the refs for the thread created for that.

    Not to mention Josh Howard magically making the ball fly out of Duncans hands without touching it or him, and causing it to hit the shot-clock so that the Spurs get the ball back.

    Not to mention Ginobili running with the ball, and tripping Josh Howard, and Josh Howard gets called for the foul.

    Not to mention several times, even after getting a technical for delay of game, trying to kick the ball away, or hold on it for as long as possible, or give it to the wrong ref, to try to slow the Mavs fast-break down.

    Quit whining. The officiating was poor, but poor against BOTH teams. There were a lot of crappy calls, and a lot of missed calls, and it basically balanced out between both teams. Again, the Spurs could have made plays down the stretch, but didnt.

    EDIT: i posted this at the same time Island Dude posted his, so they are quite similar.

    Yeah, when the man is in FRONT of the shooter. You didn't see how ridiculous it looked when Terry was leaning SIDEWAYS (to his right) to draw the contact? Get real.

    WE lost bc mavs did more point than us ... the explanation we need to understand is why they did more points ...

    1) We didn't do enough points (ok ... we did it welll)

    2) We allowed more points (yeah, latelly our defense sucks)

    3) Our coaching staff couldn't find any scheme to stop them (yeap, pretty fair)

    4) xtra factor ... sure refs are feeding Mavs offense (don't tell me no)

    Funny how it was called against Manu, who is the king of the flop!

    The ref "made up the call" on Parker's errant 3 that didn't hit rum by calling an offensive foul on Duncan the next play.

    Ginobili never tripped Howard on the fast break play. If it's a foul to jump in front of a defender's path and momentum, Terry shouldn't have gotten the call on Ginobili where Manu fouled out.

    You Mavs fans have to be seeing a pattern here. Game 3 Duncan fouls out, Game 4 Ginobili heats up -- fouls out, Bowen 5 fouls, Duncan 4 fouls. Believe me I am so mad at Brent Barry this morning I could spit, plus his turnover I think were the single biggest reasons for the loss. I almost put it on him alone --- BUT the above mentioned foul trouble and the bogus, bogus call for Nowitzki, come on. You really can't tell me that is ever called. In the Cavs-Pistons game Hamilton was roughed up way more on his final shot and no call was made. Those ticky-tack calls are never made at the end of the game.

    Yeah, must've been Cuban's infamous "Manu Flop" video from Saturday. You know, the one where he disrespects and pokes fun of an opposing team's player. The one in which he'll probably draw a fine. Yeah, real class you people in Dallas have.

    Looks like Mark Cuban is a lot smarter than you Mav fans. When the series started, he blogged about how atrocious the refs were. In your eyes, did that make him a whiner as you love to say? Now that the scales have been tipped in the Mavs favor, there are crickets chirping on his blog. You guys want to win so bad that you have no sense of fairness. Would I take the wins under the same cir stances? You bet I would! However, I would not be trying to "pretend" that no such thing happened. Get off of it Mav fans! You "know" you are full of ! You have a very good team but so do we. If only Mav fans had as much talent as their team!

    lol @ these mavs fans. the calls that yall dont get are far and few between and when they do happen its in the 1st half and not in the critical part of the game like 8 seconds left. Be real grow nuts and admit these officials have given you the upper hand, whats it gonna do take a game away from you? The game should be decided by the players with 2 minutes left and not the whistle.

    if barry hadn't turned the ball over those 2 times we probably would have won the game. that said, the refs should never bail a player out like they did nowitzki. that is one of the worst calls i have ever seen.

    yea, almost as bad as Parker not even getting close to hitting rim, or Duncan throwing the ball at the shot clock, and both times, the Spurs got the ball back. it was been bad both ways.
