Mavs at it again - more bogus technicals

[CharlieMac]

Also, I love the comment Marv and Kerr made about how many tapes Dallas has sent into the league.

[leemajors]

tim duncan has to use illegal moves to score on diop and dampier.

[Holmes_Fans]

Teams send it tapes all the time. Yes, even your mighty spurs who do no wrong.

[CharlieMac]

Teams send it tapes all the time.

Yeah, I remember that that one time Finley asked Pop to send a tape of Terry punching him in the ing balls to the league because the refs just happened to not see it. Some people can be so whiney....

Finally a Spurs fan admits it.

Think Stu Jack doesn't have that kind of obvious on his desk ASAP. Rick Carlisle and LB should have sent in tapes for the brawl.

You have to give me a ing release date and time. I have to check it out.

Never played Hitman. Worth the purchase or strictly a rental?

I like it, but it's still no Splinter Cell. Hitman is somewhat open-ended are there are several ways to complete each mission. But the AI isn't so great. You can get on a rooftop and just pick off every enemy on a level in one little batch. It's certainly challenging, though, and worth checking out.

I'm waiting for the next Grand Theft Auto. Vice City is the only non sports game I have played in years.

[Holmes_Fans]

No new gta until 2007, and I heard the new hitman is really good.

[sabar]

The new hitman has had some pretty good feedback.

The size of my brilliant thread shows we've hit a nerve.

The funny thing is this is Spurstalk.com, and their playing the Suns! You would think they would go troll on their forum. The thing is they have the little brother syndrome. You know after getting over the hump, they feel like they still have to come back and see what were saying about them. They want to see if were finally giving them the respect that they think they deserve. Mavs fans GET OVER IT, you guys look pathetic trying so hard to validate your run this season. Why do guys even give a about what we post here? Are you so insecure about your team you feel like you have to defend them on this little ing thread? And quit whining about us whining, this forum is intended for the use of SPURS fans, if you dont like it GET THE OUT! Meanwhile well and complain about whatever the we feel like. So go ahead and quote me, and come back with some lame , go ahead and feel like you own us. Tell me im fishing while your team is still playing(even though your franchise has been fishing their entire existence) and go ahead and enjoy your win over the Spurs till your blue in the face . I like to see you guys try to validate.

Every team send in videos for the league to review. When was the last time Cuban hasn't sent in video since the round1 series last year when Yao Ming was making 20 moving picks a game. Cuban actually cares about his team winning, not like most owners who are just their for money and own redneck farming equipment companies.

If you don't like redneck farming equipment, why don't you hit 'em in the pocketbook and just quit eating

And a Spurs fan talking about floppers....good stuff. Manu and Tony probably stay after pratice to perfect their flopping technique. Maybe the Spurs should trade for Raja to get an All-Flop team. And then get Nash to pair with Tim for an All-Palms-Up-I've-Never-Fouled-In-My-Career team.

Some nerve you have. I watched Dirk flop like 500 times in that game, and each time as he is flopping, he looks around for the first ref he can find so he can make the "wtf where's my foul" face. Seriously, you would think Dirk shooting 90 FTs is an instrumental part of the Mavs offense.

Spurs on the other hand are one of the worst teams at FTs yet we can win games without them.

[braeden0613]

Everyone of Duncan's fouls were after he used his illegal arm swipe? Why don't you spurs fans about that, you know if it was Dampier or Dirk doing it you would be crying out the ass.

and of course you believe that because your beloved owner pointed it out?? Learn to think for yourself.

Dirk got capped with an all ball block bt Thomas but he was still looking for the foul. Hilarious.

[ponky]

five pathetic pages devoted to a ref whining in a game that the spurs didn't even participate in because they got bumped last round. remember that game in the last series where manu and duncan combined had more FTAs than the entire mavs team? no, i didn't think so. you ref whiners are a bunch of sore losers, goi.

[RonMexico]

Which is good that the refs write their initials or TD would foul out for the handswipe in the 2nd quarter of every game. I am still reviewing the tape of Game 1 against the Spurs for all the BS calls on Diop.

C'mon, man - Tim Thomas got called for the handswipe in the 4th quarter tonight and then Dirk came back and did the same thing to him about 3 minutes later and there was absolutely no call - led to a 3 on 0 dunk at the other end for the Mavs. Just because Tim was fouled twice in a row but didn't yell in German or fall and roll to the ground with his tongue hanging out is why you must not have thought those were fouls. I agree Duncan handswipes sometimes, as well, but Dirk is one of the biggest offenders of all time (2nd to Karl Malone), because HE CAN'T PLAY DEFENSE!!

I can't tell you how many times he has terrible footwork and jumps way to early to block, but most of the Suns players (i.e. Barbosa) are too dumb to take advantage of this fact, while Dirk will worm his way into about 3 calls a game with the pump-fake and lean-in at the elbow BECAUSE HE'S BEEN PLAYING SMARTER and makes the calls obvious for the official. Dirk gives body contact almost everytime he goes up for a defensive play, but the Suns either don't sell it, or don't think of it. Nash could easily get to the line more times if he would think to pump fake and lean-in... and Barbosa releases these high-off-the-glass layups way too early when he should just slow down and wait for the contact before putting up the layup (probably will increase his chance of making the shot as well, even if he doesn't get the call).

All the great ones know how to do this, with AI and D-Wade being two of the best. But it's about time Dirk, Terry, Howard, and Stackhouse stop yelling for a foul everytime they fly into the lane out of control. I know that Nash will ask for a foul sometimes if he doesn't get one, but that's as he's running down the court not after he realizes that he's putting up a ty shot and decides to scream on his way down like the 4 above. I just wish the Suns would play smarter sometimes because they could beat Dirk at his own game and get him into early foul trouble, which seems to plague Diaw, Marion, and Thomas almost every game.

And, damn, do Stackhouse, Terry, Howard, or Harris ever think they commit a foul? Those charades of falling to the ground (Terry) and foot-stomping (Stackhouse) and looking like a gorilla with braces (Howard) and doing the "Bowen/Duncan" hand-raise (Harris) are getting old. Btw, Howard should have gotten a T for talking to and approaching Raja Bell, even though Bell did push him - I think Bell's clothesline on Kobe came back to haunt him because he got the Artest treatment of being overanalyzed in a pretty harmless situation, which ended up screwing over the Suns with the momentum shift. And Terry's tech was really pretty obvious, Mavs fans - it was well after the play and the precedent had already been set with the Bell foul before... "JET" just needs to play a little smarter.

No, the funny thing is that THIS IS spurstalk and yet there is a new "ref ing" thread and a new Mavs thread started every day. How long has it been since the Spurs played a game in these playoffs? STFU already with the whining, the Suns fans aren't whining about it as much as you guys and they're the ones still in the playoffs. We aren't going to get the out, it's entertaining as to see all these threads devoted to AJ's wife, Mark Cuban, Dirk, and the Mavericks.

Tim Thomas' hand gesture was priceless tonight. It was funny how much he celebrated with his mates on the bench just to see the smirk wiped form his face in the fourth quarter. The guy's a total bag, always trying to start .

two techs, five pages devoted to TWO TECHS...btw, it should really be one tech since d'antoni's reaction warranted a tech....so ONE FREAKIN' TECH and you need five pages to whine about this...remember when they called that technical on terry for shoving thomas in game 3, despite the fact that thomas shoved his way through terry/dirk who were just standing there? we didn't have a meltdown the way the suns did tonight, it's not like they lost by one point
