Was at the game...and TD deserved to get at LEAST 10 FT's tonight...
Actually we got Tony Brothers out of the way. After his performance tonight, Crawford doesn't scare me. Dirk dropped a hip and a forearm into Bowen on a screen in the first quarter right in front of Brothers and he just let it go. There were several times that something happened as he was watching it and there was no whistle.

Maybe Tim needs to learn a fadeaway jumper followed by falling down after the release while crying about the contact and he can get some "dirk" calls.
spurs would still lose even if he had got that many FTs. Don't blame the refs, my dear spurs fans, it's just game one after all... spurs also lost game one in the first rounds of 03, 05, 07 seasons, which all resulted in championships. If you must have got some one(s) to blame, then blame Tracy please, everything is his fault... www.blametracy.com
Also, look at games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals in the 4th quarter of both those games. You couldn't have gotten hosed in the finals with out those calls in the Semi-Finals.
Anyway, there was some calls the Spurs should have had tonight, but I always like a physical game called the same both ways. The refs did not cost us the game tonight. They missed some calls, but Spurs could have played a lot better.
This had nothing to do with why the Spurs lost. The Mavs simply played better, and exploited matchups in areas that Pop either could not address or refused to address.
That being said, it's hard to imagine that Tim only got fouled once yesterday.
Yup...you guys got completly hosed by the refs. If you hadn't you would have probably shot something like 79% on your 3pointers. Oopss...you did.
But seriously...timmah is fouled everytime down the court...even when he doesn't have the ball...at least that's what he says and he's right. He should get a fta whenever he misses a shot...he deserves it, having so many rings and all.
They sure helped the mavs though. As far as the 06 finals dallas absolutley got it straight up the ass. stern!
because he wants the spurs, duncan, ginobilli to get out of the league already and go away quick and send parker to LA.
its really sad and pretty damn obvious.
part of it is the refs not blowing the whistle, part of it is Tim not taking it hard on Damp.
Tim needs to force the issue and do it fast.
If the refs sucked in the second half, then there's not words to describe how they were in the first half. Look, if you give Duncan and Parker the fouls that they legitimately drew in the game, they're in the penalty sooner and have 8-10 more free throw attempts at the very least. That turns the game. Expecting to get a call or two at home with Bavetta calling the game isn't unreasonable, and not getting any is simply amazing.
If the refs sucked, then the refs sucked. Period.
Don't try to whitewash it with "it's not what cost us the game" because you can use that same faulty logic on any one thing (except the facetious "scoring more points than the opponent").
It's part of it, and it adds up - just like rebounds, 3 pt percentage, etc.
