Refs making dubious calls now and then are part of the game.. you have to accept the good with the bad. Over a 7-game series in particular, the better team will prevail. So its team execution and consistency that ultimately determines success or failure. Blaming the refs is just a sign of insecurity.
tappped some ass?
When the Spurs lose we will hear these 3 excuses..Manu didnt play, TD had bad knee and the refs screwed us
Very true and when the Mavs lose we will hear these 3 excuses, J-Ho is still not healthy, we should have traded for Shaq and the refs screwed us.
Oh and for both you will also here "(insert coach's name here) sucks!"
Of all the above though, the refs excuse will be heard the most. Many members of both fanbases tend to lean a little heavy on that one.
More like J-Ho is a piece of sh!t, Donnie should be fired and TD got all the callsVery true and when the Mavs lose we will hear these 3 excuses, J-Ho is still not healthy, we should have traded for Shaq and the refs screwed us.
Oh and for both you will also here "(insert coach's name here) sucks!"
Good ones also, the Spurs version would be "Finley/Bonner is a piece of , Fire Pop and Dirk got all the calls".
it's calling it like you see it. There *were* bad calls against the Spurs that series, and considering how very evenly matched it was, they were series altering calls IMO.
Maybe you're just too insecure to call out the refs?
the spurs got screwed just as bad in the Spurs-Mavs series as the mavs did in the Mavs-heat finals.
funny how mavs fans have been crying for years over those finals whilest ignoring the fact that they got the same exact treatment in the WCF resulting in their 'win' against the spurs.
The Spurs move their entire center rotation to the end of the bench, leaving Tim Duncan as the only big player in the paint.
Dirk Nowitzki goes to the line a lot, and Tim Duncan struggles with foul trouble.
Do Spurs fans really fail to see the correlation between these two events?
You do remember The Trip Over the Foot, don't you? The one Tim fouled out on?
Describe to me how that's not a series altering call.
btw, throwing your opinion out there as fact (that going small ball wasn't the best option against the extremely small lineups mavs trotted out) won't get you any points.
Oh, no doubt there were bad calls. But I don't dwell on them, particularly years after the fact.. really doesn't serve any constructive purpose to do so. Personally, I think Pop and the Spurs would be embarrassed by such behavior. Maybe some fans could try and emulate their classy example of not making any excuses.
once again. Tim Duncan shot more free throws than the entire Maverick team that series.
If he actually made them then they wouldve advanced easily, instead having to pull the ref card and "series altering" bull .
Fail.
Does a bear in the woods?
I've just started posting here, but I know I have seen Mav fans typing about refs all the time. I see more Mav fans then Spur fans
cool story bro.
The refs are the reason the Spurs haven't currently won 6 straight les.
Spurs winning 6 straight les would be better for me then seeing mavs win any, but tha't just me
What gets eats me as a Spurs fan is that there should be six trophies in that case and not four... I think we were robbed in '04 and '06 by officiating. 04 shot shouldn't of count, and 06 all out bad officiating. To say that championships teams find a way to win just covers up up the fact that lesser teams get helped sometimes. Just call it fair, I can take a loss because our team played bad, but when you're already taking a handicap from calls going the other way... It's like what are you trying to prove or say about your team, that we are so good we can win when the calls go against us. F that, call it even and give me the ring!
Thanks for the fresh new smack
no prob, anytime. Do you post on dallas-mavs.com? if you do you might remember me I use to put them down all the timeThanks for the fresh new smack
+1
Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.
Game 3: Spurs 103, Mavericks 104
Officials: Bill Spooner , Joe Crawford , Joe Derosa
Fail indeed, with the way Tim was getting mugged for 40+ minutes a night, the whole Mavericks team should have fouled out.
Instead, they decided Tim and all his hardnosed attacking in the paint, deserved only slightly more freethrows than Dirk and his attacking with ...... fadeaways and freethrow line jumpers over much shorter defenders? Yeah, those fouls they gave Tim are totally bs compared to the bull they handed Dirk.
Game 1: Duncan: 5-6 Mavs: 19-28
Game 2: Duncan: 12-14 Mavs: 35-43
Game 3: Duncan: 5-8 Mavs: 39-50
Game 4: Duncan: 7-8 Mavs: 28-32
Game 5: Duncan:10-15 Mavs: 16-19
Game 6: Duncan: 8-10 Mavs: 17-20
Game 7: Duncan: 17-23 Mavs: 28-31

So if you know how to add the final FT made/attempts would look like this:
Duncan: 64-84 Mavs: 182-223
I think someone needs to go back to math class. No way did Duncan shoot more FT's than the entire Mavs team.
FAIL!
no brainer
