BOOM! Just like that.
LOL @ the last quote
I was never a Mavs fan,but that series was crazy. You breathed on Wade and he was going to foul line. How many did he average in that series?
phil the troll tried to bait cuban into a fine.
Oh it was rigged
But it was the only time in my life that I enjoyed watching rigged games
I'll miss Phil's comments when he's gone. This will just piss off Cuban even more.
PJ was right. I just wish he said that after this season.
PJ riffing on fixed Finals is as funny as Palin telling people to tone down the rhetoric this week.
we got a lot of conspiracy nuts here. Its sad to now see Phil Jackson fell into that category.
I wont say rigged by the reffing was atrocious. The Finals that year was only part of the story.Dont get me wrong Mavs still wet the bed, but the refs did them no favors and Wade was given calls MJ never got ...
Plus stern and Cuban were feuding so it DID look su ious ...
Man I hate getting back into all of this....
but even if the Mavs did wet the bed, 3 out the 4 games were decided by 2, 1, and 3 points. Even one bad decision, let alone several, changes the outcome of a game and those series. When the difference is that small, than calls make a huge difference. And with one of the many calls going the other way, than Maybe the Mavs are not remembered as much for wetting the bed as they are now.
And if it wasn't for officiating that favored the Mavs vs. the Spurs that year, they never would have gotten that far anyway. Even if you ignore the countless ridiculous fouls that got Spurs players ejected in several games, they called the foul on Ginobili in game 7 (legit call) but swallowed their whistles 6 seconds later when Dirk hacked Duncan across the forearms at the end of regulation.
Perfect officiating that year would not have resulted in a Mavs championship. It would have prevented you from being there in the first place.
How much of a fine is Phil looking at? And will he be muzzled by Darth Stern? I gotta give props to Phil for speaking the truth. Finally someone in the NBA community speaks about it and doesn't just turn and look the other way or try to sweep it under the rug. Sure, the Mavs sucked ass in games 3-6 and if they had even just half-assed they would have won that series. Excluding the terrible calls, in order for the Heat to win in 2006, Wade had to play lights out for 4 games and the Mavs had to play like a WNBA team. Just sayin'. However, the games were really close so those bad calls did change the course of events for both teams but the sad thing is that it's history and nothing will change. Stern is too much of an arrogant insecure bag to admit any wrong doing. He would not even admit that there was a possibility of any wrong doing. It did not not even matter that he had a dirty ref in his league. His league was still clean. How can a league be clean and fair when you have a ref trying to fix games? Even if Donaghy was the only one, how are we suppose to believe it? There will always be doubt in my opinion because of Donaghy.
Silly Spurs fans trying to compare the officiating of the 2006 Finals to the second round matchup of the Mavs and Spurs in 2006. Terrible comparison. Not even in close.
sons the bottom line is that the Mavericks knew this and didn't have the balls to send a bench player out there to knock Wade the out. If they had hard fouled his ass and injured him then maybe they could have won the championship, but they didn't. they just took it up the ass while the entire world laughed at them.
the Heat have rings to show for it, while the Mavs and Dirk are still living in the past and still choking.
Bs. Spurs had more free throws than the mavs that series. Duncan got a ton of calls and free throws. Dampier and Diop were not able to defend them like they liked.
As if that solely determines whether calls were fair. Off the top of my head, aside from the no-call when Dirk hacked Duncan at the end of regulation in game 7 (that one call probably would have won the series for the Spurs), Duncan was fouled out of one game when Dirk stepped on Duncan's stationary foot, and another key player (I think Bowen) was fouled out of another game when (Terry?) jumped backwards into him.
Duncan also was called for a foul at one point (in the game he fouled out) where he drew a charge and the ref called it a blocking foul and pointed to the restricted area. The replay showed Duncan's heel a good foot outside the restricted area line.
Funny I remember Duncan constantly throwing himself into Dampier and Diop and getting them both in foul trouble. Duncan had a Wade type series but the Mavs still found a way to win it despite it. That series was a game of millimeters. Not inches.
Phil ain't doing nothing but trolling the outta Cuban....for Cuban talking all that about Jeanie and him being a boy-toy...Phil is preparing to drag Cuban to that tree.... ohh yeah...that tree...
Man LA won't be the same without Phil....I'd honestly like to see LA give either CAP or Jerry Sloan the gig once Phil does the waltz and sings fly me to the moonl by ole Frankie boy....
Gee, the greatest power forward of all time was able to draw fouls from the Dampier and Diop? Stunning.
Why did you ever let those two hall-of-famers go, anyway?
Still doesn't change the fact that (ignoring all the other stupid calls in that series) a call on Dirk for the hack (seconds after Ginobili was called for fouling him) would probably have won the series for the Spurs.
yeah Coop ain't bad at all...but I'm hearing Shaw is being groomed...that don't sound too good to me...but it will be nice for Kobe to win 1 without Phil....something else we can say MJ never did....
Here's what happened. The Mavs got a lot of calls in games 1-4 then the Spurs got some love in games 5 and 6. It went that way because the NBA likes doing that to sell their product. Getting a Spurs fan to admit defeat is like getting Charlie Sheen to admit he's bat crazy.
