    Funny, then don't hate on Cuban, cause he's actually the made the NBA hold these guys somewhat accountable for poor officiating.
    I dont hate Cuban. Ive never hated Cuban. I think he has a major point and has for years. I think the league should be accountable. I like that Cuban harps on the horrible officiating - all owners should do the same. But Cuban shouldnt just look for instances where HIS team is screwed. Find all of the horrible officiating jobs and reference them and demand change.

    and all this ref complaining contributes so much to intelligent basketball discussion right? hypocrite
    This coming from a fan of a team whose owner has dropped about 10 million in fines criticizing officials.

    You might want to revise that hypocrite comment.

    Plus, like I said, it's a Spurs forum. Of course we're going to critique the officiating in a game where your jump shooting prima donna got to shoot as many FTs as our entire time and you won by one point. That's bull .

    But like I said, it's a Spurs forum, no one put a gun to your head to be here, so if you don't like what Spurs fans are talking about on a Spurs fan web site, off. www.mavstalk.com

    Yeah Cuban did make the league start reviewing officials, but who cares, it's not like they punish officials

    Dont be fooled into thinking the refs made mistakes. They knew what they were doing. These PROFESSIONAL officials are completely capable of calling a fair game, they CHOSE not to do so today and tuesday, and they CHOOSE not to do so quite often. The reason? Obviously the NBA brass (ie Stern) lets the refs continue to completely screw up with no reprocussion, so the call must come from the NBA office on who gets screwed and when. If it was legitimate, the league office would FIRE these refs that continue to screw up horribly in so many games. The NBA is all about ENTERTAINMENT, not basketball. And the fact is that the Mavs (with the AJ story) is a far better story for ENTERTAINMENT than the Spurs. So therefore the Spurs get hammered by the refs. This isnt the first time, the Spurs have had to battle the refs for all 3 of the championships, but it was always small and subtle before. This is the first time I can recall where it is SO OBVIOUS and BLATANT.

    Dont ever think that Stern cares about basketball and integrity. All he cares about is MONEY and it shows in the games. When you go to an NBA game, what do you see? You see acrobats, clowns, kids chasing money around, a coyote, etc. This isnt about basketball anymore. Stern only wants ENTERTAINMENT, and that is when games start to get fixed (just like the WWE - World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT). The truth is the Spurs dont sell ENTERTAINMENT to a wide market like other teams because fans have been conditioned to only want ENTERTAINMENT and not good basketball. Because Stern has gone away from promoting the GAME of basketball the GAME becomes secondary to ENTERTAINMENT. And it will continue to get worse until either the fans or some third party in power (i.e. Congress) puts a stop to it.
    congress wont do anything give me a break


    NBA runs their own show and can do whatever they want.

    but i agree with you, this game is damning evidence that the league pushes teams they want to win with officiating.

    Do you think that NBA officials do an excellent job? I'm sure you have noticed that they are horrible, it just so happens that this time your team benefited and wasnt screwed. But it might not be that way next time. I want you to explain to me why the NBA keeps horrible officials who dont do their job correctly and call lopsided games. What possible reason would the NBA have for keeping these guys around when they could get other officials who do a great job. College BBall doesnt have this problem. High School BBall across the nation doesnt have this problem. So why does the NBA? Explain it to me....

    If you're talking about his blog, it was said that it was something we wrote earlier in the season and reposted it.

    Where are his complaints on officiating in This series?

    Congress should do something because the Federal Govt. governs sporting events. Just like when Congress threatened to investigate professional wrestling in the 1970's when professional wrestling tried to play itself off as a legitimate sporting event. It is a federal crime if a league tries to alter the outcome of games to fit what they want. And with the years of terrible officiating being rewarded by the league, this is exactly what it looks like. It is either on purpose or the result of gross negligence. If it is just negligence, then it is up to the fans to stop going to the games, stop watching the games, and make the league change. Since NASCAR rain delays are beating the NBA in ratings... many fans are already doing that. If this bull officiating continues without change, then I will be another fan to ignore the NBA.

    Nothing hypocritical about it...


    When I do it I have a legit reason...99% of the time fans of other teams don't.


    These are uncommonly bad calls. I am not just being sensitive because it is my team. I am not just spoiled from previous years. This is some seriously bad officiating.

    It's not like we've never lost a series before...and at no time do I think we've as a fan base have ever blamed the officiating. And we seldom do it over games...

    But this officiating has sucked badly.

    It's not just FT differential...that's crap theory anyway.

    But it's just certain things being done here...obvious, obvious bad calls.


    See working under the assumption that all games are always officiated equally badly...that's a false assumption...and this has been some really bad officiating.

    Look...go look at the Laker Board...those guys freaking hate us with a passion and think we get the benefit of the calls more than any team in the league...even some of those guys are saying we are getting effed by the refs.
