OV is blinded where Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks are concerned. In his world, the league admitting the call was botched = favor for noted Stern favorite Mark Cuban. Makes absolutely no sense.
I don't mean to make anyone's world come crashing down on top of them, but the league is pretty much just for entertainment like WWE. If you want to see real compe ive basketball then watch a high school or college game. You all are arguing over whether or not Bret Hart got screwed vs Shawn Michaels.
Everyone knows Bret is just another Canadien , who might as well be from PHX, cause he got punked and owned by the San Antonio Kid Shawn Michaels.
Well, I fully expect you of all people to do the exact same thing you did when Jason Terry punched Finley and just avoid watching what actually happened in favor of what everyone says to the press afterward.
Can someone please explain to me how the Spurs have suffered? I can't stand the woe is me from Spurs fans. They have no reason to . 3 championships this decade. Be grateful.
Stern: "Yeah, the refs ed up. Sucks you all didn't win. Sorry, my bad."Seriously, what is the point of these statements just like Game 4 last year and then this game? If the NBA wants to make a statement so they can sleep better at night whatever, but it just seems like more of a slap in the face and in the end doesn't change a thing. I mean if the NBA was gonna come out with a statement after this game, they might as well come out with another statement saying Michael Jordan pushed off in game 6 of the Finals in '98. oops.
I can't say that the Spurs have suffered, but I can explain what people are whining about:
I. There are people that think Derek Fisher couldn't have gotten a shot off in .4 of a second. a. those people are wrong, and b. there should have been .8 on the clock anyway.
II. There are people that think bad reffing is why the Mavs beat the Spurs in 2006. Wrong again. Pop got outcoached and refused to play his centers.
III. There are people that think calling Fisher's foul on Barry last year was going to make the Spurs beat the Lakers with Manu injured and Kobe playing as though e Lee was filming him. They also fail to notice that the Lakers got screwed on two calls just before that which would have sealed the win for them regardless.
?????????
I can't parse this at all. Cuban was wrong to defend his player in that instance. The League admitted error at what happened at the end of G3 today.
?????????
It's a matter of being in denial of what actually took place on the court.
The league is taking the word of the coaches and players that Wright was committing an intentional foul, even though there's zero evidence on video to suggest that it was an intentional foul, or anything more than a brain fart by Wright. The league "admitting" error is a result of the explanations of the Mavericks after the fact, even though everybody that's watched basketball knows that there wouldn't have been any statement if the entire team hadn't thrown a ing hissy fit.
The statement after the Fisher non-call last year also seems to have been cathartic for the league, so they were only too happy to issue another one undermining their zebras just to act like they're on top of things. That play against LA was a make-up non-call which the Lakers deserved. After the two mistakes the refs had made, I think an out of bounds issue and a travel, there's no way the Spurs should be bailed out on a pump fake three at the buzzer. Again, the NBA made the statement to silence the conspiracy theorists, which basically just results in making them look incompetent.
Why whine about 3 incidents? Your team has 4 championships.
Tim Duncan fouls out for getting his foot stepped on?
2006 NBA Western Conference Semi-Finalist Losers.
I'm glad the shot counted, when you're up by 2 you play defense, you don't pussy out like Wright did and foul.
"Kobe vs LeBron, the NBA is back!"
actually, the mavs DID choke this one away....
missed FTs
dirk misses shot that could have put it away
wright has mental error and doesn't follow through on his foul, then puts his arms up as if to say, "nooope, i didn't foul him!"... because he thought no way in melo would that shot.
he was wrong.... mavs choked
LOL mavs
Las entero liga es justo un grande estafa, los arbitros era pedazos de mierda. El NBA final competencias era simplemente pedazos de mierda, carajo los arbitros and pepitas.
Mike this was a really bizarre play. What do we always say, play until you hear the whistle. There was no whistle and yet Wright stopped playing! It was a clutch shot for Melo and a lapse in judgment by Wright, but a learning experience at the same time.
here's a simple thing for the league to do. Before game four play the last 6 or whatever seconds before the foul and see who wins that whoever does gets the win really that simple and fair and Mav fans can stop crying
Dallas ing fans. Do you realize you never would have gotten to the finals if the refs didn't screw the Spurs over in games 3 and 4 in Dallas.
We both got screwed over. Yes I do think the league is full of with the officiating, but we got screwed over too that year.
DALLAS FANS ARE YOU THAT ING RE ED.
I have not heard from you once how you got help from the refs to beat the Spurs in games 3 and 4 in 2006.
ING OWN UP TO IT. What ShoogarBear said is just one of the ridiculous BS calls in those 4th quarters against the Spurs.
I'm guessing the league didn't want to prolong the inevitability of the Nuggets winning this series.
Any word as to whether Mark Cuban had kittens over this?
Neither team would have been happy if they lost. The Nuggets had legit beef with the way the game was called against thier big men. This was a classic Salvatore game choppy and no flow to the game. 61 fouls
This is what I am saying: The refs may be able to make it hard for a team to win, but in no way can they make it impossible.
Everyone chooses to focus their ire on that one call because it is the most frustrating moment; like many have said, what about all the moments that came before it? Was there no way the Mavs could have won that game? Was it the officiating that kept the Nuggets close the entire game or that won them games 1 and 2?
I know it is frustrating, and all things considered it was a bad call, but Wright did not help his case by fouling the way he did. He definitely put the refs in a tough spot by retreating after the initial contact and that was a mistake.
Let it go. The refs were never the reason the Spurs lost to the Mavs, and the refs were not the reason the Mavericks have lost to the Nuggets the past 7 or 8 times they have played.
Then quit watching and STFU
