Heat shot 66 more free throws than Dallas did. Wade shot 42 more free throws than Dirk. I'm not saying that's fair officiating or not, but it really is stupid to say that Dallas "got a taste of its own medicine" in the Finals after the way the 2006 Western semis played out.
You ain't getting any FTA if your offensive work relies on the only means of fade away shooting and attempting 3 pointers from miles away to the paint. Someone just played like a pussy in that series and there really wasn't any reason for his meager FTAs other than this, which subsequently cost the Mavs the series as well as the O'Brien.
Cool story bro. I just wish you had the cognitive ability to accomplish basic reading comprehension. I didn't say anything about whether the officiating in the Finals was fair or not. I just posted the numbers. The numbers prove that any Spur fan who complains about the 2006 Western semis and says the Mavs "got a taste of their own medicine" in the Finals is full of .
The Heat averaged one more free throw attempt per game than San Antonio did against the Mavs in 2006.
You still don't get it even though 4 years has passed. It has to be admitted that refs whistled a big too frequently in that series and that's all the abnormality I can tell. just because Dirk and his fellows Mavs didn't get as many FTAs as heat got it doesn't mean there's something venal with refs, as far as I can clearly remember I think the Mavs would also have got an analogous amount of FTAs if they had attacked the paint more as the Heat did, but they didn't and chose to be pussies shooting bull 3 pointers and jumpers they wouldn't make.
LOL at this over 50 more FT...notice how the Heat progressively got more FT's as the series went on.
Granted the Mavs should have played better and could have won despite it but this was complete bull
Cool story bro. Who are you arguing with? What are you wasting your keystrokes on? I'm not holding forth on the credibility of the officiating in the 2006 Finals. I didn't even read past your first sentence. Take that up with somebody else who cares.
It's a favored myth by Spur fan on this site that Dallas got shafted by the refs in the 2006 Finals the way the Spurs got shafted by the refs in the semis. The numbers show conclusively that is not the case.
Can you refute the bolded part? No, you can't. Thanks for playing.
Elleh Em Eff Eh Oh Dallas

Spurs-Mavs series:
Spurs 33.57 FTAs per game, Duncan 12.85 FTAs per game (6.15 above season average)
Mavs 31.85 FTAs per game, Dirk 11.42 FTAs per game (4.02 above season average)
Heat-Mavs series:
Heat 34.50 FTAs per game, Wade 16.16 FTAs per game (5.46 above season average)
Mavs 25.83 FTAs per game, Dirk 9.16 FTAs per game (1.76 above season average)
Ironically, Duncan enjoyed a higher FT boost than Wade did over regular season averages.
I'll admit, it took me longer than usual this time to catch the Roguester
HAHA you s IGNORING the 2006 semi finals....when you s and Dirt got that same exact treatment as Wade got in the Finals..
i think we can ALL AGREE...that the 2006 NBA playoffs were a Tainted BULL fest...
for EVERYONE
Dirk averaged 10 FTA per game in the 2006 playoffs..
Duncan averaged 10.1 FTA per game in in the 2006 playoffs..
Wade averaged 11 FTA per game in the 2006 playoffs..
Duncan had 50% of his shot attempts inside the paint and Wade had 35% of his shot attempts in the paint..Dirk? 19%..
Kind of funny that a guy that had 81% of his FGA coming from jump shots went to the line so much..
Just saying..I'm a Dirk fan BTW, I was just pointing this out..I hope he gets his life together, love is beautiful..
Do they teach teh maths at San Antonio public schools?
Spurs-Mavs series:
Spurs 33.57 FTAs per game, Duncan 12.85 FTAs per game (6.15 above season average)
Mavs 31.85 FTAs per game, Dirk 11.42 FTAs per game (4.02 above season average)
Heat-Mavs series:
Heat 34.50 FTAs per game, Wade 16.16 FTAs per game (5.46 above season average)
Mavs 25.83 FTAs per game, Dirk 9.16 FTAs per game (1.76 above season average)
I'm not a Spurs fan and I've never advocated any brigade with a biased view. It's pettish argument for Spurs to blame the refs for their loss to Mavs in 06 because I don't see any unfairness of officiating in that series, but that's exactly what Mavs fans did after their ate their own share of medicine. The Mavs and Spurs just lost to a better team when their fates subsequently came, the only nuance between your complaints and the grumbles of Spurs fans is that you only consider the finals rigged while Spurs fans think both series were rigged.
Kind of funny that Wade averaged 4 more FTAs per game than Duncan when he shot fewer shots inside the paint. Dirk's 9-11 FTAs per game in the playoffs is on par with his style of play. Wade got more FTAs than a dominant big man. Interesting...
I don't disagree that Wade got a lot of calls, he definitely did..Cuban probably shouldn't have opened his mouth about the rules in 2004 though, no?..
When a team with Jason Williams and Antoine Walker in its starting lineup wins a championship, you know something fishy was going on.
Everyone knows the Mavs were screwed in a horrendous way in the Finals.
Let's just leave it at that instead of rehashing old arguments.
No, I don't agree with that. I like this style of play better with less hand-checking on the perimeter. That Pacers-Pistons series in 2004 was dreadful to watch.
I have to give credit to the Heat for beating us in 2006. It does a franchise no good to adopt an excuses-making, sore loser mentality. There are basketball reasons above and beyond the refs that explains why that series turned out the way it did.
The shots he attempted in the paint were almost all that he attempted because he knew he had no chance get the ball in if he shot elsewhere, from areas near the paint. Dirk was aware that his shots had to be launched from somewhere far from the paint because he knew he was a pussy and would only get rejected if he attempted the shots in the areas where Wade shot his, which is the only explanation for the peculiar ratio of FTAs between Wade's and Dirk's.
AW wasn't too bad that year and Jason Williams still plays decent game nowadays.
the ENTIRE 2006 playoffs were tainted. all the reaching you s do wont make a difference. the league knew that duncan sucks at FT while Dirt is 100% at freethrows. this factors into everything. Miami got heavily favored over Detroit(look at the stats), just like the Mavs got heavily favored over the Spurs.
in 2006, the Pistons and Spurs were CLEARLY the best teams in the entire league and Destined for a Finals rematch unless the league intervened.
The league doesn't need to manipulate the officiating to subsidize the teams it favours, which is the very basic fact that most of you Spurs fans have ignored. They could just use a ball packaged with iron foil and a magnetic hoop to pump up the FG% of the team they favour, which is as easy to adjust as video games.
Spurs fans proposition: 06 finals was rigged exactly as much as the Western semi-finals where the Spurs played against Mavs
Mavs fans proposition: only the 06 finals against Miami Cheat was rigged, the previous 3 rounds that Mavs had won were all clear as virgins, Spurs fans.
The debate started off as soon as the Cheat were done stomping the Mavs, and now it seems it will last for ever as long as the game exists.
hhahah exactly.
