get some
So does Lebron. It is all apart of the game.
DAMN RIGHT! I clearly remember numerous game changing fouls called on Duncan late in games. You know what though, most Spurs fans aren't bitter about it. Albeit it wasn't the sort of stage the championship is, it was considered the championship in many peoples eyes. In the end, I think it was the best playoff series I've ever seen and I'd NEVER call it fixed.
Agreed, thats a better way to put it. I don't really believed the series was fixed, otherwise i'd not watch the NBA, but Dallas did get screwed big time.
And the Mavs wouldn't even have been in the Finals if they hadn't had questionable calls go their way in the Mavs-Spurs series.
In a perfectly officiated world, the end result is not a Mavs championship, its that the Mavs never make it that far in the first place.
I thought I answered this, but will again. Sometimes I get too wordy.
Yes, other refs could have fixed any given series, including this one.
However, without "proof" I believe no other series were fixed. That's only my opinion. Show me proof and I'll believe. Unfortunately that's got to be a conviction. I have seen some pretty suspect occurrences over the years that would fit right in line with a fix, but I have no proof.
You're right, I concede you're right and the Mavs/Cheat series was exactly as much rigged as the previous WCF between Spurms and Mavs. Spurs and Cheat are co-champions that year, congrats.
Spur fans are re ed. The Spurs didn't get screwed in that series at all. Just because there was one or two questionable calls in the series doesn't mean they got screwed.
Tim Duncan shot more free throws than anybody else in the series
dude, I'm ing watching the finals again right now
Game 3, 4th quarter, 3:15 left to go
Dirk is called for a foul FOR TRYING THE SAME ING THING
He sticks his knee/leg out in front of Jason Williams as a way to stop him because his body is out of position. he was called for it then too
THAT IS A FOUL!
Dirk was in the habit of doing that
did he stop yet?
LeBron does get calls, for sure. But w/Wade I haven't seen a guy get so many calls on plays where he isn't even touched since MJ was playing.
idk
but im talking about the video that i posted here that everyone can see and no sensible human being with any sort of intelligence and a grasp of how to play basketball, will say that was a foul on Dirk
actually it's just the reason why Spurms fans are always voluntarily joined by multiple Cheat fans whenever getting involved in a debate with Mavs fans about that year. The Mavs defeat gives Cheat fans a gimmick which is often shared by Spurs fans using to sneer at the Mavs and Mavs fans. whenver the Mavs fans call it a rigged series in 06 NBA finals, the Spurs fans then step out to soothe themselves with the Spurs/Mavs series, which was widely considered also a rigged series by most Spursfans but in fact was a goddamn even one.
The refs, from the very beginning of basketball, have rewarded athletic finishers driving hard in the paint with lots of FTs. It's the most common refereeing tendency in basketball.
Dirk drawing so many fouls in that 06 series with the Spurs screams anomaly much louder.
Spurs this year = Heat of '06
book it![]()
I am re-watching Game 3 of the 2006 NBA Finals...
and DIRK MISSES his second free-throw with the game on the line..
score is 96-97, Heat up by 1, with 3 seconds left to go in the game,
and dirk CHOKES!
yeah, blame the refs all you want
With the previous 3.9 quarters hypothetically fair whistled, it would have already been trash time by then and the man standing at line would have been someone else than the "choker". I can't even imagine how a miami cheat fan could conquer the disdain from their remaining red hearts to review the crime scene in such a peaceful mind.
6 rings got......
6>0
Refs call a foul when there is a foul. Doesn't matter what type of player it is
In those videos did you see any fouls?
Miami might have beaten a better Detroit team in that playoffs. Not sure if the Mavs could have beaten the Pistons in the Finals.
It was not fixed, but its tainted. Everyone knows the Mavs were ed. On top of many bad calls, that Game 5 call alone taints the entire series.
Mavs were the best team in the NBA that year. Spurs were better than the Heat, too.
Pistons had the best record in the league that season. Unfortunately they wore down in the playoffs with the lack of depth they had and ran into a hot underrated Heat team with alot of veterans surrounding D-Wade.
No excuse for Dallas to lose Game 6 at home.
Do you think Dallas would have beaten Detroit? I would say yes because Detroit seemed to peak in the regular season. But still, they're starting 5 were a special unit.
I wasn't happy with the Game 5 officiating. But, I don't want to take away anything from the Heat. They won games 3 and 4 at home and came back and stole one in Dallas in Game 6. Alot of hungry veterans looking for their first ring surrounding Wade. Hard to deny such a team.
ahh
such great memories, im watching the championship celebration on the Mavericks home floor in the american airlines center
