Anatomy of an NBA Fix

[ShoogarBear]

Mav Fan is such a pathetic clown. He can see Dirk getting foul by stepping on Tim's foot, but he can't see Wade getting fouled by two different Mavs.

Mav Fan is back to doing what he does best. Kissing referee ass was so unbecoming.

This picture shows Wade's arm being grabbed by Harris. Just look at the shape of the shadow on Wade's arm.


The only way to explain the wedge shape of the shadow (green highlight) is if the fingers are making contact. If it was a picture of the hand in front of Wade's arm then the shadow would have been more like the red highlight, but also because of the distance that the hand would have to be in order not to make contact, the shadow would be a lot less intense.

You're ing color-coding things now? Why are Spurs fans so obsessive?

24-hour rule is in effect so Game 5 is the past. But I'll leave you with these couple of points on that touch by Harris. 1) The whistle had already been blown by what Salvatore saw to be contact by Dirk. The touch by Harris was after the whistle. 2) No referee had the angle that picture does. The others were content with letting the players play (Don't believe me? Go back and look at Joey Crawford's face when it's blown. Even he can't believe Salvatore called that). Salvatore, the trigger-happy sucker he is, called it from an angle where he wouldn't have seen this AND he was 20 feet behind the play.

But again, 24-hour rule. It's Game 6 tonight and I've still got a dog in the fight.

I really don't care about game 5 anymore.

Bull . You whine because you can't do anything else. It is your nature.

I could use some "illegal" youtube videos to prove even more, but I know how senstive you guys are.

Go blog the league about it, whiner. There are no quotes -- they are in fact illegal.

I nominate Jason Terry for first nut-shot from the grassy knoll

Funniest post of all!

[Darrin]

Guys, the foul was called on Dirk.

[MadDog73]

Guys, the foul was called on Dirk.

I agree, the refs favored Dallas with that call.

It should have been called on Harris, who would've fouled out.

Thanks - this thread has pretty much crossed the line of absurdity

They showed the three controversial plays on NBA TV wiith Ronnie Nunn. Showed the "backcourt violation" play in slow and superslow motion. There is absolutely no ing question he was in the air when he caught the ball and landed with it in the backcourt.

Showed the play where Wade drove. Harris bumps him twice, once with the hand and again with the hip and Dirk shoves him in the back, Wade falls forward from the shove. Also showed Terry slipped and Wade didn't shove hoim.

Showed Howard calling time out and ref asking and Howard signaling again and then both Howard and Dampier walking to the sidelines.

Bottomline Mav fans whining are totally and completely full of .

And therefore none of them read any of your post, as good as it was.

[Neuromancer]

I am surprised noone mentioned Benett Salvatore to blame for the Wade call.

Agreed...

what makes more sense than the nba jocking wade is jocking dirk. you get the double of a star from the largest economy in europe plus a white star to lure back all those whitebred caucasians out there who havent paid attention to the nba since bird retired.
