Rewatching that series, the most aggravating part of it (besides Dirk choking) was Dallas never committing a hard foul and just letting GS get layup after layup. Baron Davis getting into the lane damn near every possession and not having Dampier or Diop knocking him on his a$$ at all should've gotten Avery fired the minute after the series was over tbh
I honestly think they were scared to do it because GS had the 'goons' on their team whereas Dallas didn't. they were probably scared someone like Jackson, Barnes, or Harrington would punk them in return. you could tell GS had zero fear of Dallas,
there was that one play where Matt Barnes was falling out of bounds and intentionally threw the ball off of Terry's head because he knew they weren't going to do anything about it
