sons real talk - Mav fan has legit reason to be mad

[BRHornet45]

sons game 4 was called pretty fair and square. as I stated above both of these teams are pretty even and the final score showed it. however the Thunder are not as good as the NBA is trying to make them look.

^yup

and son that is EXACTLY what the NBA has developed into over the last decade or so. when television ratings, ticket and merchandise sales are all that matter then you better believe the NBA is going to do everything in their power to keep the games as close and/or as entertaining as possible. If I had to break it down to what the NBA playoffs consist of nowadays ...

Talented Basketball - 25%

Carefully Controlled / Partially Scripted Sports Entertainment - 75%

Meh. If the refs hate you, you just have to win so hard that you take them out of the game. If the refs cost you a game, win the next 4. The best teams don't make excuses.

All the excuses in world still don't hang a Mavs banner for 2006, but coming back a few years later and administering a beatdown on LeBron and Wade, no matter how much the refs love them? That's how you hang a banner
