Sorry, Tim hit in the chest first and that was why the call was made. Dirk hit his foot later. I might have agreed with you, except after seeing the replay, it was obvious what happened.
I don't see a conspiracy, I see a group of people who are prone to the same influences as anyone else. There are players they like and dislike as well as coaches, teams, cities, etc.. They also have the propensity to err. Think about the number of plays a ref has to watch and call on a nightly basis. Ultimately you come to the realization that there does need to be some kind of instant replay implemented.

If you watch so many Piston games you would know that they whine just as much, if not more, than the Spurs. They do their fair share of flopping too...
The Pistons beat the Lakers. The officiating was bad in that series as well. The NBA doesnt care who wins the le as much as they care who plays for the le. That is where the ratings and advertising dollars come into play. After the finals, there are no more series to make money off of.
What happened in the 2004 Finals? Or was that a strategic move by the league to make it seem legit?
Do you really think the NBA officials do a good job that would be expected of a professional? I seem to recall you saying that the refs suck earlier...
Replay would make the games too long. Missed calls and bad calls are part of the fabric of the game...
Wow, by your account TD has the longest arms in the history of mankind. Dirk was striding long (and the ing guy is 7 feet tall) when he hit TD's foot - there is no way Timmy got an arm in Dirks chest before Dirk stepped on him. It is physically impossible.
Perhaps you should show me pictures to that effect. I have seen them whine, but you all win that compe ion, I think.
That's the biggest load of BS that gets recycled over and over. Since when is ING UP a part of the fabric of any successful business?
The truth is that the NBA refs up way too much and there are refs out there that are better. Why is it that college basketball is officiated well while the NBA is not? The College officials do not have the controversy that the NBA ones have because they do a far better job. That's a fact. The lack of controversy proves it. So why is the NBA content with BS officials that are worse than college officials? Doesnt add up.
The contact on Nowitzki occurred after he stepped on TD's foot and lost the ball as he started to hit the deck in pain. It was a bogus call to eject TD but so far in this series nothing suprises me with the calls on TD.
Pictures? How's this for a picture:

The formatting's screwed up, but the bottom line is that the Pistons led the league in technical fouls this year. If there's an objective measure for how much a team complains to the refs that would be it.
You do realize the the refs are human, right? Bad calls and missed calls are part of the fabric of every sport at any level. And yes, even in college BB...
Jesus, you just dont get it. I'm not saying any official is perfect. But the college officials DO A FAR BETTER JOB THAN NBA OFFICIALS. That is a fact that has been proven over the years due to the fact that NBA officials are steeped in controversy and bad calls while college officials rarely make the level of mistakes that NBA ones make. NO official is perfect, but the college (and many HS officials) do a far better job on a consistent basis than any NBA official out there. So why does the NBA settle for trash and BS from its officials when there are many officials out there that are better? That is my question.
He was very close to Dirk, why do you think Dirk's foot ended up on top of his? He was not running down the floor. He was right underneath the basket. Both of them were.
Dirk was striding to the basket. A 7 foot tall man has a long stride and Dirk wasnt that close to Duncan at the moment he stepped on him. After he stepped on him he got a lot closer due to his momentum carrying him towards TD. Physics. Learn IT.
Most college officials would struggle immensely doing NBA games because the players are bigger and the speed of the game is a uva lot faster.
Comparing officiating at a HS level to the NBA game is just one in a list of many moronic things you've said in this thread.
You obviously dont know what you are talking about. The speed is faster, but not enough to warrant such ty calls. You are making excuses for a league that is cheating you, me, and every other fan. Open your eyes. I didnt compare officiating a hs game to an nba game, but I know many hs officials who are very good and could do a better job if given the chance. The game isnt so fast that you cant see the players you dumb . Dont you ever allude to my rants as moronic or i'll slam your face into the ground. You dont know about basketball or officiating. Shut Up.
You still havent answered the question why the NBA keeps incompetent officials around? You dont have an answer for that dumb ass. So keep your mouth shut because you know something isnt right...
See, even your dumb ass knows the officiating his horrible - you even said it. Changing your story now biatch?? Why does the league keep such god awful officials? Explain er...
This is kind of what I had in mind. Tim cannot believe he could have possibly gotten a foul (who knows for sure) but he is whining.
The second picture is a flop. The player behind him is close, but not pushing or fouling. But Manu is "flying".
We won't agree here. But, I know what I saw on that replay.
All you Mavs fans do realize we only missed like 2-3 shots in the fourth yet we still lost?! You do realize that for a long stretch there in the fourth you didn't make any FG's only FT's (bailout's) from the refs! It seemed as if everytime we were about to pull away and get a defensive stop there came the wistle to save your asses.
I don't know why we are getting these calls but somebody has to say something. Why doesn't POP say anything? I mean its cool not to say something after game 2 but two games in a row? C'mon!
And for the people talking about the conspiracy theories here is my list of some of the worst officiated games of all time (tell me more I forget!):
1. 2000 Lakers vs. Blazers (Game 7): Lakers come back from down 15 in the greatest comeback in a game 7 of all time. Whoever remebers this game will remeber the Lakers run was fueled by some of the spookiest calls of all time. I will never forget the palyers faces every time the wistle would go.
2. 2002 Lakers vs. Kings (Game 6): Mike Bibby laying on the floor bleeding after receiving an elbow from Kobe. Everybody know all the rest, this one is infamous!
3. 2006 Lakers vs. Suns (Game 4): All I have to say is the leagues two time MVP getting malued and nobody did anything.
4.1993 Knicks vs. Bulls (Game 6): Yeah all of Charles Smith's shots were "clean" blocks by the Jordan and gang, yet Duncan fouled Dirk tonight!
Jordan... Lets not even go there, this guy never got called for anything! I mean he pushed Russel away and it is replayed everyday like here it is we don't care!
The NBA is very obvious in the fact that the refs are helping the league as a business!
You make a lot of unfounded assumptions...
There are some people at lower levels in any business that I'm sure could do a better job than people above them. There are many variables as to why these people don't get promoted: lack of interest, opportunity, politics, etc. Why would you think the NBA is different in regards to officiating?
Every major sports league has had controversial officiating during some of their most important games: '85 WS, '88 NBA Finals, any World Cup, 2006 SB, 2005 ALCS, etc etc...and defends it after the fact. Just look at what the NFL said after the SB...
Every league knows that bad officiating hurts the game and turns away fans. Why would the NBA promote it? The truth is that the officials they have now are the best they have AND can get.
The officiating is bad IMO, but only in consistency from game to game.
I hate when Spurs fans whine about the officials. it, move on.
Thats seems to be the only call any Mavs fans can think of that were blown by the refs tonight. And it seems you are missing the point, was your best player taken out of the game in the closing minutes by a blown call?
