Murphy's Law at it again for the Mavs

[Lars]

You're basically saying, yes, the rules should've been bent for your soft pile of a center for setting illegal screens.

Son, since your so dense, let me break it down for you. First of all, a million calls could be made every play because there is always a violation somewhere. Calling a foul or violation every play is bad for entertainment, so there is a certain leiniency given to keep the flow of the game up and keep it watchable.

You play the entire year with a certain style, with a certain repitoire of moves and plays. When it is perfectly acceptable the entire year and ceases to be acceptable in the playoffs, then the league becomes a crock of . Just because a got owner cries to the league because their team is getting it's pushed in, a specific player should never be specifically targeted looking for fouls, because you can always find violations on any player on any play.

Bottom line, the series was headed for a sweep. They wanted to extend the series, so Stern steps in.The league orders its referees to target a player, putting them at a severe disadvantage.

It would be like all of sudden whistling Lebron and Wade's signature moves as traveling in the playoffs. (which they are)

The Mavericks just are not a very good team, but they were entertaining so the league likes to extend thier series. Happened twice.

Those weren't illegal screens, if you choose to call them that, then half of the league would be in trouble. O well, what is done, is done.

Your guys teams need to learn how to set a proper screen from my team!

[MavTalker]

Those weren't illegal screens, if you choose to call them that,

So your admitting they are there but since it doesn't effect your team its not an issue.

then half of the league would be in trouble.

Or just teams like the Mavericks

O well, what is done, is done.

Translation it doesn't effect my team so I don't care.

lol it's highly entertaining how much mav fans get under rocket fans skin.

The funny thing is that Rockets fans are actually delusional enough to believe that David Stern would lift a finger to collude with Mark Cuban.

Obviously Cuban had a point about Yao's illegal screens, which is why they were more scrutinized. There couldn't have been any reasonable doubt or anything questionable about Yao's screens, they had to be clearly illegal and detrimental to the integrity of the game, or Stern would NEVER have made sure his illegal screens got called. Because David Stern is not in the ing business of helping out Mark Cuban in any way, shape, or form.
