Go to the 6 minute mark on this recording.
"You just got fined."
great to see that im not the only one that saw something out of the ordinary.
"i don't care""You just got fined."
I saw karma biting the Mavs in the ass. What did you see?
Why the do u follow me around to every thread and say about my posts. Get off my ass and quit stalking me weirdo.
I bet his wife-to-be does."i don't care"
Lol two threads is following you around?
...yeah, i agree with Tracy. not necessarily that it was rigged, but Dallas was jobbed. however, i don't give a damn....***newsflash*** dallas is a bunch of es and your city sucks donkey .
eeeeh, me finds that offensive. because i eat chopped dongey balls for........deenner. hehehehehe
hey quit dryin do be me, no? u wouldnt eat no dongey ballz if zur life depended on it. heheheheheeeeeh, me finds that offensive. because i eat chopped dongey balls for........deenner. hehehehehe
it's pretty ed up that "karma" is a deciding factor in the NBA Finals...not "may the best team win".
how is that a newsflash? even people who live in dallas hate the city of dallas (see myself).
but if dallas sucks donkey , what in the does houston do to it? one can only imagine...
I wouldn't compare Dallas to Houston. Houston has hung championship banners...all Dallas has hung is their head in defeat after the worst choke job in NBA Finals history.
McGrady's statement is ridiculous. It's funny how in Mavsland, the curious calls and the wide FTA disparities in their favor in Round 2 were just part of the game and the sort of thing that the great teams overcome, while the same calls and margins in Round 4 were evidence of a wide-ranging conspiracy to fix the Finals to promote DWade and slap down Mark Cuban.
It's one or the other, but not both.
DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON! LOGIC APPROACHING! DANGER!
okay, do you want me to go ahead and post the FTA stats from the round 2 series, or do you want to do it and prove yourself wrong? i'll let you do the honorable thing and fall on your own sword, if you like.
good point. but i was just talking about the actual cities in general, not just the sports teams.
and if we're talking sports franchises, Dallas has a little team called the Cowboys that scoreboards any other Texas sports franchise. Peace.

yeah Duncan made for FTs then the whole Mavericks team attempted. that doesnt make sense
Why are people still following the NBA when they insist it's rigged?
Look, I agree that the margins are overrated. But that's certainly among the complaints that fuel the Mavsfan conspiracy train; when the Mavs most needed that FTA attempt disparity to be in their favor -- the 4th Quarter of Game 3 against SA -- they outshot the Spurs 22-8 (and 50-32 for the game). The Spurs had significant margins in Games 5 and 6, but nothing as broad as what the Mavs got in Game 3. If the Heat's margin in Game 5 of the Finals was evidence of a conspiracy, was the Mavs' margin in Game 3 just evidence of a well-officiated game?
Ultimately, the calls in the Finals that still have Mavsfans in a tizzy are the same sorts of calls that went in the Mavs favor in the WCSF. Again, if the calls in Round 2 were just part of the game, I don't see how you can be intellectually honest and argue that the calls in the Finals evidenced some conpiracy.
I will grant you that I can see how you might be a sore loser and do that, but not intellectually honest.
overrated? the grand total for the series was Spurs - 235, Mavs - 223. Duncan shot 90, Dirk shot 80. The Spurs attempted more free throws in 4 games, one game was even, and two games were in the Mavs favor. To say that there was ANY free throw disparity in that series is a TOTAL FABRICATION!!!
Maybe not in that individual game, but over the course of the entire series, the Spurs got their fair share of calls. they had 2 games in which they attempted 10+ more free throws than Dallas. like i already said, they shot more free throws over the entire series, and their star player got more free throws than Dallas' star player did.
Meanwhile in the Finals, the Heat shot more free throws than the Mavs in 5 out of 6 games, one game by a margin of 24. Over the course of the series, the Heat averaged 34.5 FTA per game while the Mavs got 25.8 FTA per game. That's almost 9 more free throws a game! There's no fabrication there.
and of course Wade shot an average of 16 FT's a game. Dirk averaged 9.
the calls in round 2 were even for both sides (regardless of how butchered the officiating job was). the numbers even suggest that the SPURS had the advantage.
the calls in the Finals were ridiculously slanted in the Heat's favor. there's no statistic that can deny that.
and there is no conspiracy, but I do think that Mavs fans have a legitimate reason to about the officiating in the Finals, while Spurs fans have zero reason whatsoever to about lopsided officiating in Round 2.
the question is: what is NOT rigged towards ratings, shoe sales, sex etc?
When the ratings fall per say in a sport, then the following year you see big changes. Its all about money......
think team only spurs is Texas? dotn so think !
dont see any much heard of the ROckets? thats what i thought...
Hey mono! This has been argued sooooo many times - it's not the total number of FTA, it's when they occurred! Ticky-tack calls that fouled out Tim at the end of one game and Manu in the next game, the really lame call on Bruce Bowen that allowed Dirk to win the game at the freethrow line. I really didn't see much of that in the Finals. And oh yeah, Wade had more FTA than Dirk because he drove hard to the basket on almost every possession. Dirk became timid and scared and settled for jump shots! Can we finally lay this topic to rest? It's getting reallllllllllly old!
