Mav Fan.Damn, I really hate Miami though
Should change your SN to 1VanHorn1.
Holt is the man.They blew one at the end of regulation in Game 7 of the Mavericks-Spurs series, too. Tim Duncan got hammered. No whistle blew.
There was no outrage from the Mavericks that night. They advanced. End of story.
There was no outrage from the Spurs, either. That's life.
Pop is the man.

I see your a Miami fan. Perhaps you should change your SN to Shaqbear.
Done.
Better yet, I'll change my sig under my SN to "I love Hasslehoff" if you change yours to "I love Shaqbear"
What do ya think?
1Parker1,^Be real. There were quite a few questionable calls in Game 5 against the Mavs, I can see them being mad abou it (though perhaps not to the same degree that they are taking it).
List them. I don't see anyone crying about the play with about a minute left where Terry pump faked, got Payton in there, then leaned *backwards* to draw contact and flipped up the layin for the easy three point play.
Other than that, where were these questionable calls? Wade was attacking the rim, Mavs were hacking him. They were hacking Shaq for a while. What's the big deal?
The only two calls I hear people in Dallas complain about are the foul on Wade and the timeout situation.
The foul on Wade has been confirmed based on a photo that we've all seen by now. Howard clearly called the timeout to the ref. End of story.
Look, Riley summed it up perfectly after game 5. He said that after Dallas put the Heat in the bonus with the Hack-a-Shaq stuff, that he told Wade to attack the rim every time.
Wade did. Dallas kept fouling. Maybe they should learn something from our series with Phoenix last year where we stepped aside and let Amare get his, but didn't exacerbate the situation by fouling and giving him three point plays, getting our guys into foul trouble, and putting them in the bonus quicker.
The bottom line in all this is that the tables have been turned on the Mavs, and instead of Avery doing some slick coaching or the players stepping up, they've turned into the penultimate victim, blaming everything on the league, conspiracies, referees, etc.
This is the NBA Finals for God's sake, nut up and play ball. The Mavs representing the West right now is a complete joke. I've never seen a bigger pack of crybabies in pro sports history, from 86 year old scrub benchwarmer Darrell Armstrong right on up to Puban.
It isn't day care, it's the freaking NBA Finals. Grow up.
i agree AHF, terry did that twice if i remember correctly. just jumped sideways or backwards into payton.
True 'nuf.
No, your le will be "Cuban Disciple".Done.
Better yet, I'll change my sig under my SN to "I love Hasslehoff" if you change yours to "I love Shaqbear"
What do ya think?
i remember a similar situation involving manu a while back too.
i think they should just junk the automatic foul for jumping into someone, it's re ed.
oh my gulllyyyy!! this in mavs are moron!!!!!
Deal. Now is this only if there's a game 7 or If Mavs win?
Yes, the Mavs have to re-focus. What about the rest of us? Are we just going to get temporary amnesia like every other time this has happened, blame the team that is complaining, and then complain next year when it happens again to our favorite team?
Calm down. I don't have the game videotaped so I can't go back and give you each call. I just remember thinking there were quite a few questionable calls (and I'm not referring to the last play either). The one I clearly remember is where Devin Harris drove to the rim in the 2nd quarter I believe, was clearly fouled, no whistle....Miami gets the ball back and pushes up floor, Wade goes for almost the same exact drive to the rim and gets the call. Actually, this happened to Devin Harris once or twice I believe.
Anyways, like I said in another thread (or perhaps it was this one), YES there were questionable calls against the Mavs I do really believe that, however despite that they still had a chance to win the game and they ed up big time. Howard missing 2 FT's down the stretch, the TO thing, not getting a defensive stop etc hurt the Mavs more than those missed calls. Also, I never said that their reactions were justified either. I was simply pointing out that if it were the Spurs (and yes, if you recall it was eerily similiar back that in series), I'd be pissed if I were a fan too. However, difference is Spurs managed to get over it and win 2 straight and almost 3. Mavs now need to get over it and use that Spurs series as a confidence booster right now that they can come back and win this series.
Oh, you're serious? You really believe there's a Conspiracy that wanted the Spurs and Pistons to win the last 2 NBA les?
Spurs ed up and lost. Detroit didn't even show up to Game 6.
I honestly don't see how a Piston fans can even claim the Pistons were screwed. The only thing they were screwed by was the Heat...
Screw the refs. Screw the bad calls. Screw Cuban. Screw Stern. Screw the media circus. Screw all of the Dallas haters. The players play the game- nobody else.
It is time for Dallas to show up and play some ball. If they don't win this series they revert right back to the same level of doormat they were 3 or 4 years ago. I'm tired of watching Dirk lay bricks on wide open 15 footers...then kick a basketball and an exercise bike because everything is so "unfair". Its time for him to "man up". Dirk, either deliver the goods or quit pretending to be a superstar.
Finally, a Mavs fan who gets it.
(I'm still rooting for the Heat, though, sorry)
MadDog- I still think the Mavs can win this series...but NOT as long as they play like they have so far. I'm just sick of excuses...and there is NO excuse for their ty performance in game 4.
If they lose tonight- or in a game 7- they have NOBODY to blame but themselves.
Of course, tonight I'll be in the 5th row behind the basket holding up my Acme Brick sign everytime Shaq goes to the line...oh yeah- and having a few beers, too. I keep reminding myself this is just entertainment.
