I think Dan Crawford almost overturned that call, it looked like he was about to but thought the better of overruling Bavetta for the second time in the game.
I'm in the camp that says Bonner did not have position established to get that call on Dirk. Bonner did a little "bunny hop" to get in front of an already airborne Nowitzki.. which is not only a foul on Bonner but a dangerous situation, which is why the rules state a defender must have position established prior to the offensive player leaving his feet.
All this does is encourage guys to "jump in front" of airborne players at the last second and put them in harm's way.

Okay, but at best it's a 50/50 call. Nobody was in danger of fouling out and Dirk led with his knees. When Bavetta makes the call and is that decisive about it, it's over. The Mavericks had been crying at every bit of contact and every whistle throughout the fourth quarter, and Damp would have made his comments if Bonner had been called for the block. , he argued after the foul where he grabbed George Hill with both hands and held him up. Dude's an idiot.
Go back and watch the entire Mavs bench and assitant coaches flailing their arms on every possession at the end of the game wanting a moving pick call. It's pathetic.
Like I've said. If the Spurs can come out and punch em hard in the mouth in the beginning of the game, the Mavericks just might fold up their tents.
Yeah, the calls were a bit on the Spurs side in Game 3, just like the calls were on the Mavs side in Game 1. Its just homecourt advantage and aggressiveness. Nothing in this Series so far has really been all that bad.
Dampier should be trying to come up with a gamenplan with Haywood about how to not get ted on by Duncan in Game 4.
any sport where officiating is part of the game, advantage always goes to the aggressor.
by definition, all NBA fans are hypocritical when it comes to the referees. i could just as easily say look at Mavs fan comments after game 1 compared to Game 3.
but, there is a bit of a difference here. Mavs fans are complaining about a game where they went -5 from the FT line before fouling to extend the game.
Spurs fans have seen the Mavs get 3:1 FT advantages and Dirk shoot more FTs than the entire Spurs teams.
little different scale...
You mean like Mav fans starting about the officials threads in both forums before the game? This happened in game one and three
