Mavs: Ponies vs Thunderefs

[OKC]

I try to call it like I see it. THere's games the refs call too close. I hate them, even though it's always going to favor OKC, even more so than normal. Those are the games that drive opposing fans crazy. Even if its called the same both ways, KD is usually going to pick up those touch fouls a lot easier than the other player. A lot of games though, people just wanna throw out the ref card and call this conspiracy BS. Well, OKC is often times going to shoot 10-15 more FTs than the opponent, and rightfully so. Tonight for instance - Dallas is scoring in transition, some open 3's, some good passing leading to some good looks. You notice OKC really just plays hands up defense on Dallas, other than Ibaka biting on pump fakes a few times. The mismatches are pretty obvious. Even now with Dirk OKC is just playing hands up and making him hit the fade away. If Dallas isn't getting clean looks they're passing because they know they can't score easily over straight up defenders. A lot of age and a lot of lost steps on the Dallas roster. FLip it around and Ibaka is just abusing them on the boards, getting hacked on the put back attempts. He shoots 8 tonight. Carter trying to stay in front of KD is a complete joke. Nothing to do but foul him honestly. 9 KD, 9 Russ, 8 Ibaka. Thats 26 FTs right there. Game was called well too.

Not to mention the handchecking and reach-ins the washed up Mavs players got away with. We should have gotten more trips.

But yeah, at pussies like HI-FI who come into a Thunder game thread and immediately spout conspiracy theories.

Hang onto that while you can. It's only a matter of time. I guarantee you Kevin won't choke away opportunities like Dirk did in 2006.
@ being up 2-0 with all the momentum and laying witness to Dirk's epic choke.
@ losing to an 8th seed

do you even live in New England? That's pretty weak smacktalk if you don't live in NE. I take that back, that's weak no matter how you put it.

Pretty legit 30 foul shots guys.

Of course you think they were all legit...

Thunderup is a mind boggingly ty poster. if it's someone's troll, well done. if he's a byproduct of Oklahoma education and trailer park medication, then that's .

[Latarian Milton]

mavs don't have nothing to lose now imho. at least they put up a good fight against OKC. im just hoping for a strong comeback next season, with a top 14 rookie and a possible bigname signing from free agency, and a healthy dirk playing full season of course.

so you grew up in Mass. but now you've been a Mavs fan since they became good? Or what is it partner? You bandwagoned the Mavs when they were good?

You're a got. No gots allowed.

Thunder , since you don't plan on going to sleep for another few days, check out the Player Reliance on Freebies Analysis thread. I'm sure you won't have anything of importance to add (per par), but it might open your eyes to how much your team's scoring is inflated.

Dirk will be 35 in June. How many more years does he have left? 2 years max.

Not only are you a got. You're also a dumbass who lacks reading comprehension. I've already addressed that end of the discussion.

I don't see any of your posts in that thread.
Durant and Westbrook continuing to get more FTs than Lebron, who is arguably most dynamic player since Jordan.
always using the word got to sound tough.

Read this thread again. Does your diabetes keep you from doing that? That glaucoma. Treat it before it worsens, partner.

Of course you think they were all legit...

You watched the game?

Yeah, being proud of living in a meth-addled dump of a city is pretty funny, tbh....
