It's funny that no one can accept the fact that they got their ass beat last night. It's really no big deal. Just one game. This is a 7 game series. Mavs could win, Spurs could win. we'll see.
many spurs fans are angry with the officiating that took place last night, myself included, even thouhh that will not gve us game 2 back, I'd like to know which of all the calls made you the angriest or you disagreed with the most. from ginobili's face fould to harris' elbow to nick van exel's prompt ejection, which call got u the angriest? why?
personally I must say that the call I think changed everything was Tim Duncan's third foul. With already havin been called for a couple of questionable fouls, the ref gives Tim a third in a play in which if I'm not mistaken Josh Howard runs out of the zone late and stands in front of Tim as he's jumping for a shot. Not only IMO was this an awful call but it sent Tim to the bench for over half of an entire quarter. This is when the Mavs totally got away....
Not that the Mavs wouldn't have won anyway but that call messed up our chances a tiny bit
And the Spurs players and coach during the game don't either. When was the last report from Cuban in the papers of him ing publicly about officiating. Could you post that for me?
It wasn't the number of free throws that were the issue to me. It was the manner of the calls, and the timing. Spurs got called in the middle of the Mav's offense so often, allowing the Mavs ( who have the audacity to actually MAKE most of the free throws they get) to go to the line and get bailed out, when they might have missed the shot. For almost all of the first half, the spurs had a better percentage shooting than the MAVS, but the MAVS kept getting the points because they were at the foul line and making shots. Take a look at the box score for Tony and Josh Howard, e.g., They had approximately the same percentage field goal percentage, but Howard had about ten or more points because he scored 11 of 11 at the line. Tony only got 6 free throws and missed three of them.
it is funny you have 4 post and was not here before the mavs won a game

Damn it trainwreck you killed the effectiveness of my post.
The call that topped it for me was the call by the balding ref who anticipated Manu touching the ball after he passed it to no one near midcourt.
And they say refs do not anticipate calls. That illustrates to me how refs assume there was contact around the basket when in reality they may not have even seen it.
I hope those tax evading thieves burn in . However don't question their integrity.
The one I disagree with the most was Barry's blocking foul. He stood stark still and had position and the mav player took 2-3 steps, jumped into his shoulder and got free throws. Stupid.
The one that pissed me off the most was the inadvertant whistle, just because it gave the impression the officials were making calls before an infraction actually took place.
I can understand being upset about the officiating but that was not why the Spurs lost. In all honesty I didn't think too much about it during the game. The quality of play was simply not there.
The call that came down from the league offices to have Steve Javie officiate the game was the one that pissed me off the most.
That is the hardest call in basketball, the charge/blocking foul. But honestly, Josh established position outside the restricted area. It was a good call.
Mavs shot 6 more free throws = 8 more points.
The one that got me the most was when Brent Barry was called for a blocking foul when he was in position and stationary for about a full two minutes before Nowitzki slammed into him OUTSIDE of the no-charge zone. It was Brent's third or fourth, I can't remember.
Spurs learn to make free throws and it is even.
Hmmmm, that sounds uniquely familiar to another teams argument....cant place the occasion...
Sucks dont it?
The same realization that formerly mentioned team came to.Still, SPurs sucked and I am hoping all the crap is done with this game. Spurs still take the Mavs, just a little tougher battle.
ABSOLUTELY! When I saw Javie on the court before the game I told the folks around us that we would lose, because Javie was officiating. If Javie officiates a game between the Spurs and either the Lakers or the Mavs, the Spurs lose. At half-time, I heard a Spurs staffer saying the exact same thing, except that he thought that the entire officiating crew was the worst group. I think the others take their cue from Javie.
The two baitjobs Dampier was able to put on Duncan he pushed him into a player and Duncan got his second foul.
I disagreed with the call Reggie Miller was doing the most though, at least when Walton talks out of his ass he's somewhat comical
Wasn't Van Exel ejected in both game 2s? 2002-2003 WCF and this series?
And where in there did he complain of the officiating of any of the Memphis games or the first game of the series or this game? Nowhere. He has a blog talking about having the best officials on the floor for the playoffs. thats it.
Not quite. If Spurs equaled the Mavs free throw %, they would get
2 more points.
But, as has been stated on this board, having Duncan sit down in the second really hurt the Spurs. That said, I think the Spurs let the refs get to them, instead of just playing through it.
Oh, and the Mavs outplayed them, too. That helps. I expect the Spurs to do much better on Saturday... assuming everyone is healthy (or, more healthy, anyway).
