I was willing to have a bet with anyone who could come up with video evidence that in fact Dirk received a call he shouldn't have in the game. Are you up for it son?
34 free throws compared to 14
there is absolutely NEVER a legit reason for the amount of free points awarded to be that lopsided. lol at some of you who still think the NBA is a "fair" league.

son you find video footage of the game online and then we have something to work with. not just highlights.
anyone who watched that game with a non bias outlook could see the blatant favoritism.
Take away Hack a Damp and that 34 number goes way down.
Dirk is definitely an anomaly, but I really find it hard to criticize the refs for this game at least. Just about every shooting call was right, but Salvatore called a few questionable low/zero contact body fouls.
no it doesn't it! it only would go down maybe by 6 free throws, 8 at the very MOST. son that is still 28 free throws compared to 14.
Damp gets the ball, you foul him. That crater face, limp pop made that perfectly clear. That brings the totals to 24-14. Parker didn't start and he did not drive to the basket like he used too. SA did not go to the basket like they did in the past and did not get calls.
BUT the NBA is not fair. They have corrupt refs so you might be right. But if the fix was not in, they got it right and SA can only blame themselves.
I am in too. Find the footage online and I'll take a look and find the "phantom" calls
you have your thinking cap on today son
Is there something in the rule book that states the FTAs must be equal after a game?
WTF???? Barkley >>>>>>>>> Dirk
And a lot of other players that never won a 'ship.
No, but there's a little rule that says that you can't call a foul when there wasn't one.
Dudes, the BURDEN OF PROOF falls on the accuser. That's how the system works. You say there's something unfair going on. Alright, prove it.
(and yes, you can find games online all the time, rapidshare, bit-torrents, or you can buy it. you can find everything online if you want to)
All I can say is that even during the game thread in the Spurs section many Spurs fans admitted that the calls Dirk got were legit. Mason and Bonner's fouls were by the book, the didn't go straight up with Dirk during his shot, they were pushing with their body and keeping their hands over Dirk's head. Sorry but that's a foul, if you don't like that create a movement to lobby for rule changes.
Barkley and Dirk are about equal IMO.
God damn you're a bigger Dirk fan than all the Dallas people on this site to put him past Malone and Barkley.
First, your obsession with calling people better than Dirk even though their careers are clearly getting overmatched by Dirk's consistent excellence of over 10 year is ridiculous. That's how you get a name as a biased fan. Yes Mav fans hate the Spurs, but we are gladly admitting how great Timmy is.
Second, again please prove the calls that Dirk got that were not legit. Find a video, a gif, something, to show me and everyone else that there were no legit calls. Until then, please take a seat and enjoy the best international player without college experience the NBA has ever seen.
link? what system are you talking about?
why don't you proove the calls were legit? Until someone prooves either way, I think both arguments are legit.
Dirk's career overshadows Barkley's at this point. Too bad that Chuck never got serious about keeping himself in shape.
Malone is still secure for now, given his longevity. But I wouldn't put it past Dirk to pass him as well. The guy seems like could go on forever draining that elbow jumper.
sons LOL at these Maverick fans. they don't even realize the joke is on them ....
90% of that self righteous fan base has been crying like es for the last 4 years about the 2006 finals being "rigged". they have whined saying that Wade lived at the free throw line and how the refs were in the tank for Miami .... now game 1 of this Spurs/Mavs series was clearly called in favor of Dallas yet the favoritism from the refs is being ignored by them ... I guess as long as all of the calls go their way then it is perfectly ok and the NBA is fair as can be!
Because again, in a democracy the accuser has the BURDEN OF PROOF. Is there any reason for me to have a prejudgment towards the officiating? No of course. We accept their judgement everytime we turn on a match. If we complain about it, usually people create a video or something.
If you say that there is something wrong in the world, you prove it. You don't ask people to prove that everything is alright, do you?
Barkley = Dirk, they have nearly identical resumes. Dirk has done nothing to put himself past Barkley.
I don't hate Dirk, in fact he's my favorite Mavs player. I just think he isn't as good as most people think in here. It's my opinion you don't have to agree with it. My hate for certain players doesn't make me underate their games, I hate Kobe Bryant and you can find quotes of mine saying that he is one of the greatest of all time.
There were a lot of calls, I didn't tape the game so I can't show nothing. But I saw the game and he got a lot of calls that 99% of the other players don't get. There are some Mavs fans in here that agreed that you got the better end of the officiating on sunday.Second, again please prove the calls that Dirk got that were not legit. Find a video, a gif, something, to show me and everyone else that there were no legit calls. Until then, please take a seat and enjoy the best international player without college experience the NBA has ever seen.
So the Heat won fair and square in 2006? which would mean Dallas choked. correct?
Well, there is a difference if you can't see it. Just go to Youtube and search for Wade 2006 officiating, and you'll see plenty of suspect calls.
Truehoop blog, directed by a Blazer fan I might add, made a whole interview with the referees from Game 5, pointing out serious flaws in the logic behind calls for Wade. Countless other impartial basketball figures weighed in on the episodes, and to this day consider that series as one of the worst officiated series ever. Bill Simmons makes fun of it every time Wade is mentioned.
But again, it begins with the fact that there is some, or to other a lot, of evidence out there that shows how the calls on Wade were at the very least suspect. Dallas fans put the effort to prove their point.
Now, the same burden falls on you. If you say that Dirk received calls he didn't deserve in Game 1, please prove it. Show me where, and I will gladly admit I'm wrong.
And there are Spurs fans that agree that Dirk's calls were 100% legit. If you want to prove your point, download the game and find the clips.
