I doubt they'll go that far. I hope they won't go that far. The last thing I want is to hear more excuses about how the Mavs were handed a win.
Make it a must-win game for SA. Bennett Salvatore will show up.

He didn't. And his behavior was pretty bad. He's been around long enough to know he simply should have shut his mouth and walked off the court, but instead he stood there for a really long time (beyond the time it was taking to clear out Mavs fans from his path) and if my lip reading skills aren't too rusty, said some stuff a lot worse than calling a ref a piece of . I would be quite surprised if he was not suspended. He certainly will be fined.
Both Davis and SJax, as professionals, should have shut their mouths and used the unfair Ts as motivation to push on and take back the lead (though I don't think it would have mattered, given the piss poor and biased officiating that existed in that second half) instead of getting pissy and throwing temper tantrums that justified second techs that will stand under review. They are to blame for their behavior, regardless of how unfair their first tech was.
However, that is speaking individually about them. Again, I feel strongly that when you put this back into the overall context of the game and the way the calls were going, I'm not surprised they reacted the way they did. I felt that way at home as someone with no stake in this series (wouldn't mind the Mavs losing, also wouldn't mind beating them in a rematch).
Yeah, I called everyone to find out what exactly Jackson did to get the first tech, I didn't even see clearly what happened for the second one actually.
I did think that Baron clearly swiped Terry after the foul was called, as did Barnes, and I thot Barnes was the one who got into it with Terry... And then Harris got into it with Davis? Was that what they were sayin? I was all confused. Tho Davis did scream "BS" plenty of times too... so that may be what lead to the T. I really cant even tell ya. I thot Terry rushed at Davis after the swipe, I didn't see either of them backdown until teammates came to split them up... Didn't see what happened with Harris at all.
However, unwarranted the FIRST techs were, as the leader of the team you should know how to keep your composure. Then after you were warned, along with your coach - you chose to continue? So... I could see why a ref would get peev'd. I don't know if I woulda went as far as to eject Davis, but Jackson clearly didn't stop running his mouth. I don't know who he was talkin to tho.
With that said - I still dont know what he did to get the 2nd T. I thot he was jabbin' with his teammates or even someone in the audience... but after he got the T, the time it took him to exit the court alone will prolly get him a fine, the fact that he was lookin right at the ref screamin "YOU A " repeatedly.... might make it larger... TNT with the HD graphics... couldn't stay away from him!!
Clapping and laughing at the ref! Reminds me of Timmy laughing on the bench. You can bet this ref won't be suspended.
No way, it does? That comparison hasn't been used by anyone ever, until right now.
Only the Mavs have the authority to get players on opposing teams ejected for laughing and clapping. Spurs don't have that same authority.
Davis fouled Terry well after the whistle. Barnes also took a swipe at the ball in imitation, but Davis actually stepped into his way and smacked Terry across the chest while taking his swipe. It was pretty much the exact same foul Jackson had just been called for--except that when Jackson did it, he was legitimately breaking up a fast break. The fact that Baron's came so clearly after the whistle made it an automatic technical.
After that, the refs showed restraint in calling double technicals on one other member of each team. They could have legitimately put double technicals on half of each team for pushing in but they just gave one to the most egregious 'intruder' on each side.
Davis' second technical came after the referee told his coach that he needed to cool it, and his coach relayed that to him and he kept doing it. He left the ref no other option.
So, if you can just get AI and Anthony to behave dumber than a couple of bricks--you can get your ejections.
Yeah, Spurs can just get refs fired.
Baron could beat anyone on the Mavs ass, no one wants to with a Compton kid
Except a giant African. Don't sleep on him just cuz of his docile natire, Diop can get gangsta and a dude up, that dude is strong as . Same with Mbenga. And what's Baron gonna do when Terry bashes him in the nuts?![]()
Call the Game to do a drive by, kid is gangsta with gangsta connects
yeah well the mavs have connections to Puff Daddy so we can....um....i dunno make a buch of ty rap songs.....dammit![]()
At least he could give Cubes dance lessons.
I cant believe all of the ing today. Both of our teams won, that should be enough I would think to keep the ing at a minimum
Hmm...Diop got a technical also.......funny how he wasn't taken out of the game....oh wait, BECAUSE HE KEEPS HIS MOUTH SHUT AND DOESN'T MOCK A REF
thats because he doesnt speak englit
Hey, when Dallas runs the "Please eject the other team's best players" play, the Mavs are at their best. The Spurs fell without Duncan, the Warriors suc bed without Jax and Davis.
Avery really should have developed this play a year ago - they'd be shooting for a repeat now.
No one on the Nuggets is that stupid.
evidently neither do you.
and diop has been in america for quite some time now, he played high school ball in Virginia.
Simple have the players laugh on the bench while looking at the ref
What I don't understand is Mavs players and Avery were acting just as "badly" in the first half when they were struggling...complaing to the refs and exactly the kind of stuff I thought Stern wanted to stop...yet no one of the Mavs got a tech during that period when they reacted to ref calls.
Then all of a sudden in the 2nd half when they miraculously get to the FT line 43 times...43 times! it's all fine?
Cuban has the refs right where he wants them. I really hope the Warriors take it at them in Game 3.
eat them with hot sauce![]()
It amazes me how many threads there are on this gay . Get over it. Why do the Spurs care so much about the Warriors. Mavs weren't standing there making f'ing faces and clapping like a dumbass. Davis wanted to get tossed... period. He saw the game going down the toilet and wanted the out. I'm tired of this bull conspiracy talk. Please give me a valid reason why the refs want the Mavs to win so bad. Mark Cuban, afterall, isn't the most popular guy in the NBA. So tell me. I have never heard so many whinny pussies in my life. Spurs say the mavs whine so much, but you could write a book with some of the they come up with.
