By Dirk? Dirk got called for that foul. You're saying it's clearly a foul by Dirk? What Devin Harris is doing in that picture is irrelevant, he didn't get called for .
aww, bless your little heart
Seriously, Dallas might lose out to the Suns for the 8th spot

you were smoked in 5 games...you act like it was a seven-game series
Consider yourself lucky to win even 1 this year if Bynum comes back
damn well that series sure made your lakers get yalls assed kicked by the celtics
we already beat yall this year![]()
That foul was called on our beloved Dirk.
There is video evidence that dirk gave D-Whistle the primadonna wheelchair sex addict who doesn't deserve his ring a slight shove in the back, but the whistle should absolutely be swallowed. A crucial Finals game should not come down to god damn free throws.
It wasn't a rigged series, but it was a bull series. Our Mavs could've played better, but the officiating could've, and should've, been better such that our beloved Mavs "C" game was good enough to win a le, on account of the Heat being a garbage team.
Plenty of video and statistical evidence to show extremely one sided officiating. While Zo could get away with physical play in the paint, the Mavs were getting called for bull touch fouls.
The Heat could've shown they weren't fluke champions the year after, but ended up going 44-42. Granted, they battled injuries, but ing swept in the 1st round by a young Bulls team? Unworthy champions the Cheat were in 2006, but Bennett Salvatore and David Stern granted them their wish.
Oh well, such is life. But now we weep at our mediocrity on account of our wonderful run closing without a ring our boys deserve.
The Mavs didn't win in '06? But I have the T shirt.

Unless the call fouled Dirk out of the game, even if Dirk didn't foul him it's clear that Harris did. You can argue that Dirk shouldn't have been called, but Harris should have been. Net result is the same anyway. Heat won, and should have.
Also, as Ghazi says, video evidence points to Dirk shoving Wade's hip with his right hand (which you can't see from the angle of the picture).
And this is not the greatest forum to complain about officiating in that series. Many Spurs fans (and sports commentators, for that matter) think the Mavs shouldn't have been there in the first place, but made it due to officiating in the Spurs-Mavs series. You'll get no sympathy from me.
Dwayn Fade travelled before harris fouled him. what a biased fan of miami cheat. video shows it far more clearly than a faded pic.

An everytime Dirk touched the ball in the second round, he went to the FT line.
Game 3: Spurs @ Mavs, Dirk Nowitzki shoots 24 FT, Mavs outshoot the Spurs 50-32 @ the FT line.Game 5: Heat Win Dwayne Wade FT 21 for 25 Mavs take 25
Live by the whistle, then die by the whistle.
He didn't go for the ball at all. That was a textbook flagrant foul; it doesn't matter the player it was committed on.The suspensions Jerry Stackhouse for his "Flagerent" foul against Shaquille O'Neal, if Dwayne Wade would of done the same thing, it would of been a charge.
Not in the act of shooting.By the way did anyone else see Jason Terry get fouled on that last 3 pointer, but like most of the calls that should of been called on the Heat, it wasn't called.
I think it's hilarious that you Dallas trolls insist that game was rigged because D-Wade made 21 of 25 free throws, in a game that was decided by 1 point. But you don't have a problem with Dirk making 21 of 24 free throws against the Spurs, in a game that was decided by 1 point.
Mavs, Suns, and Lakers fans must all drink the same Kool-Aid.
Dude, there are harder fouls than the one Stackhouse committed on Shaq every day at the park or rec center everyday and people just get up and laugh it off. Stackhouse went for the ball but went across Shaq's body in doing so.
And since when does grabbing someones jersey when they're going up not affecting you in the act of shooting?
Good lord, you're delusional
For the record, the Kings got hosed too, even though I always hated them. But I can call it like I see it and admit it.
Really, when did we cry conspiracy over a loss like all your brethren do?
The only time I've even mentioned anything of the sort is when referring to Game 3 of the Spurs-Suns series--but all you gotta do is youtube that and know a blind man could see what's going on. Nobody cries foul more than SA, and there are plenty of threads on this forum to prove it
After 3 long years you guys are still holding onto that ? Let it go. It's been 3 years, it's time to move on and cheer for the Carslile version of Mavericks...![]()
Easy for a Spurs fan to say, considering you benefited from Kerrs fluke shots and Dirks injury in 2003, Horrys fluke shot in 2005, and a BS technicality suspension in 2007 along with fluke Warriors shots that prevented the Mavs from meeting Spurs in WCF![]()
It doesn't really affect your shot if you're not shooting, for one. Do you want me to post the video so you can see Terry take a dribble and run past a Nowitzki screen after the jersey pull? There's no way you're getting 3 free throws on that.
The foul was called on Dirk, not Harris. I give the Heat credit for winning the series, but that was a bad call.
Yeah I'd like to see the video again actually. I couldn't find it
That picture is misleading, check the actual video I don't think he grabbed his arm. Depth perception doesn't really show in that picture, Although it looks like he grabbed him from the side
the call was also made befor Harris fouled him, harris tried to stop him after he heard the whistle
It should have been two free throws, as Payton intentionally grabbed Terry's jersey when it was obvious he wasn't going to get over the screen. The refs swallowed their whistles, giving Terry a wide-open three to try to tie the game. If they call that foul, it's 2 FT with 5 seconds left, down 3, with no timeouts, and they'd be almost forced to miss the second FT and try for a miracle rebound and putback.

So I remembered that play incorrectly. I think the refs did the right thing swallowing the whistle, though.
If I remember correct, games 4 and 6 were called somewhat fairly. It was games 3 and 5 I felt we got totally screwed, if I remember correctly. If we didn't get a broomstick shoved up our ass in the 4th quarter of game 3, we go up 3-0 and don't lose that series. Maybe you don't feel that way. I do. And so do a vast amount of fans of many other teams, from my experiences posting on different messageboards and people I know. It's just how I feel.
buddy the lakers have owned the spurs in the playoffs badly.
you beated us with a fluke mason shot and a stupid fisher foul while we blowed you guys out. anyways i dont even care about the regular season
just wait till the playyoffs, you guys will be done in 4 or 5 games
