What would you like next time, George?

30-14 free throw advantage...and we still won. Same old thugs we played in '05 too...whenever they got down they started flagrant fouling and hitting the Spurs players. Stay classy!

Outside of a few of Manu's & TP's drives to the basket and Duncan's post shots all the Spurs did was shoot jumpers. They got all the free throws that they deserved. They ran their offense effectively whereas the jumpers were the open shots that the offense provided so it all worked out. To complain about free throw discrepancy is ridiculous if you actually "watched" this particular game.

Karl is now putting the blame on J.R. Smith's. He probably cannot think of any other excuses this time.

Aside from the complete ridiculousness of a Mavs fan making the above statement, Karl was the one ing about the free throw discrepancy after the last game. The point is that he can no longer use that rationale to suggest that his team was jobbed.

I don't think we're complaining about it, per se, just pointing out that Denver, like Dallas after game 3, can't use it as an excuse this time.

I was really just saying that most of the shots that the Spurs got were jumpshots and those were the shots that they should have taken in the flow of their offense. I just responded to one guy that had complained about the free throw differential. I don't do the all Spurs fans say/think crap like many do with Mav fans.

Uhhh....I wasn't complaining. I know we didn't attack as much. I was just stating that the Nuggets had 30 fts to our 14, so the Nuggets should have no room to complain.

I think next year is the usual point in his script with a team where he starts blasting the players in the press, and loses the team.

Bingo.

George, like Larry Brown, has a pretty predictable trajectory.

On the flip side, Parker didn't get a single free throw on 23 attempts, and I'm fairly sure the statistics wills how that Tony spends more time in the paint than Iverson.

But you don't hear Karl mentioning this anomaly now.

Aw man, lighten up. Coach Karl is ok. Austins D league is looking for a coach. Of course, he'd have to agree to the no-whine clause in the contract and also be a good sport about eating TexMex food without taking antiacids.
