On Cold Pizza, Woodie Paige, the drunken' Volunteer and known Spur Hater said SA is done. Skip Bayless, on the other hand, must have read this thread because he called out the refs. He was using the 50 free throws and 22 free throws in the 4th Qtr as his argument that the refs on Saturday were intimidated by Mark Cuban.
I watched the last six minutes of the game again last night and the game was blatantly called for the Mavs. These examples have probably been brought up by others.
The Mavs did get a bad call against them when Howard blocked Manu's shot. But Howard could have been called for a technical, considering Joey Crawford was working the game. Of course, he didn't get one.
The trip call against Nowitzki on Barry was BS. And then TP gets tripped but no call.
On TD's fifth foul, Nowitzki goes over Bowen's back for the rebound, then barely gets touched by TD, to draw the foul. Jeez. Let them play.
Devin Harris could have been called for two offensive fouls but they were not called. On one play, Bowen switched on him and TP was in position to draw the charge. A blocking foul was called. On another play, he pushed off Bowen but no offensive foul called.
On Nowitzki's offensive rebound to win the game, he bullied his way against Bowen to get it. Then, I guess there might have been a little contact but of course, Nowitzki drew the foul. Bowen might have grazed Nowitzki's head but on a play to decide the game, that whistle came pretty quick. Nowitzki missed the shot but hit the free throws to win the game.
Okay, I'm done venting. On to game four.
