Why would Stern care about Dallas or SA? If there was a conspiracy, it would be for the Lakers and Cavs so this series is irrelevant.
Besides, the refs didn't cause the Spurs to blow layups, give up offensive boards or forget how to play defense.
Duncan has only 1 FTA in a home playoff game on 24 shot attempts, So you tell me what went wrong. The only thing worse than Bonner was the refs. Stern is taking his chance while we're down to bury us.

Yeah he got "hammerd" alot and he didnt get the calls, some moments the refs were letting the players play and thats when Duncan was getting fouled and some moments they where being really sensitive and thats when they started calling fouls on us. Plain bull
1 FTA or not. Timmy was a beast today. He was the reason why this wasn't a 20 point blow out. Fudge imagine if his knees were good. We would have most definitley won.
Eh, from what little I watched TIm looked unagressive settling for alot of jumpers letting Dampier work him over a bit too much.
I thing the refs did a great job today
Lets hope Joey Crawford will ref the second game.
lil playa strikes again.
Terribly officiated game. I didn't even watch the end of it. If the Spurs can't even buy a ing call at home enough to win when they shoot lights out from three point range and spend so much time in the paint, they have no chance.
Good take. A seriously unbiased great take. Dampier played great tonight, and I'm as surprised as anyone. Also Bonner really hurt you guys, he should just be benched. He's a total liability out there
Did the refs have anything to do with the Spurs bench scoring 1 point in the 2nd half?
Of course they did!![]()
No...that was Pop...![]()
Stop the whining. Sure there were some missed calls but nothing different from what goes on in a typical NBA game.
The one thing that did seem different from a normal NBA game is the coach continuing to give minutes to a soft, defenseless redhead who couldn't rebound, defend or score
*ding*ding* we have a winner!!!
Say what you will fair or not, Duncan earned the respect to get star calls. Think about dampier is as foul prone as it gets all the sudden against Duncan who always eats him alive he does'nt touch him allnite. Get ing real we got hosed. You think a couple calls would'nt have stopped dallas momentum or a fast break that leads to a layup? How bout the dampier block were the replay showed an open-handed thrust to the Duncan's chest that's a trip to the line.
Maybe you're right. Think the NBA offices will have a meeting tonight and demand this game be replayed on Sunday afternoon?
The officiating wasn't as atrocious in this game... considering there were a fair share of blown calls for both sides...
Bonner failing to have any positive impact in the game...
No minutes for Bowen on Barea...
No Hill...
Few minutes for Gooden... and letting Dirk abuse Mason repeatedly...
Little in the way of bench production...
That doomed us tonight...
the game overall was reffed well IMO, but Duncan should have had a number of calls that weren't called..
he played well though, so whatever..
No, they will start the series over on Monday.![]()
Whining about the refs when Dirk had 3 fouls in the first half.
No even when their wrong like fish in 04 it they won't make it right. It's o.k. though we've seent this same pussy dallas team fold before with a lead.
Look, we've won 4 les by playing that brand of basketball. When we used Bruce to body up perimeter players, other teams' fans used to complain about it.
The point is that the Mavs were at least playing physical D and challenging the refs to call some borderline fouls, which the refs didn't. And guess what, the refs usually let them play in the post-season, and call fewer fouls. That's why tougher defensive teams usually beat the finesse teams. The Mavs simply took advantage of this well-known trend. We on the other hand let the Mavs get easy look after easy look and putback after putback.
We didn't deserve to win this.
