The real reason why we lost.

[WalterBenitez]

Is this the conspiracy theory again?

Conspiracy theory is a consistent plan, I think REFS just have a criteria whoever were in white uniform, and if that whoever were a Superstar will get the calls ...

Tonight REFS were MVPs ... how many of the Dallas' FT were caused by a real foul?

The one that ejected TD?, the one that caled on Brent don't even touched Dirk?, Manu's avoiding contact?, Oberto looking at Dirk ?... come on ... Star treatment is killing this league.

P.S David Stern owes me a new Ironing Board, I smashed mine to pieces after one of the bull calls. Oh and i messed my hand up a little bit so i am expecting him to pay for any medical damage. Thank You

If we let the Mavs shoot 50 free throws in a game, we're done. I was surprised how close the game got when one of the best free throw shooting team in the league got 50 free throws.

I've never blamed the refs for a loss and I'm not going to here, but there were some questionable calls in the 4th qtr. Got to keep them off the line.

I usually have your back in the Political forum, but I don't see how you claim to know for sure what happened in the 4th quarter.

Manu didn't just dribble it off his leg. Devin Harris got his hand in there and knocked the ball away. They discussed this in the post-game interviews. So yes you missed something.

And by the way, Timmy called out the refs tonight at the podium as well, seems he also thinks the refs screwed us.

I have it recorded. DVR is awesome.

if you'll look at it again. the only reason devin harris was able to get his hand in there was b/c he was using his left hand to hold and tug Gino's right arm. That alone gave him the gap he needed to cleanly poke the ball from the handoff.

It should've been a foul with all the tacky calls going around. But obviously we weren't wearing blue and white.

yeah, unfortunately that FT miss was costly. One free throw, one miss, one loss.

you're blaming the whole loss on Manu's lone missed ft?? yeah, that's really smart

I agree....the Spurs make just two more...its 2-1 SA

and if the Mavs had made just 3 more in game 1...

Difference being the Mavs shot WAY under their avg in game 1 and the Spurs weren't all that far off from theirs in game 3.

Bottom line: 2 close games...1 win for each (at home). You can't really start looking at just 1 play or a couple FT's here or there...

no, im blaming the teams free throw misses. read my very first post.

[T-Pain]

also look at post #21. tim also had somethin to do with it too.

Ahhh, crying about the refs . . . so ing lame!

[refhater]

heres the real reason why we lost...FREE THROWS. Notice we lost by one point and missed 10 FT's at 68% while Dallas shot 78% from the line. Thats what costed us. Not the refs.

This is not the reason the Spurs lost. If we had shot 68% from the line, while given the same 50 free throws the Mavs were, we would have won by 10. In an evenly called game, that same 68% would have meant 34 free throws made out of 50 instead we made made 22 of 32. How about just an even fourth quarter. Mavs made 18 of 22 (81%). Spurs made 6 of 8 (75%).
