Question: If Melo had missed the shot, would Mav fans be complaining?
yay!!!!! a press release that solves nothing two years in a row
Question: If Melo had missed the shot, would Mav fans be complaining?
Stern: "Yeah, the refs ed up. Sucks you all didn't win. Sorry, my bad."
No, the Nuggets fan would be, and they would have been right, and the league again would have been forced to send out a press release.
No more than Denver fans are complaining that Wright wasn't whistled for a foul. We should root for the refs to get it right across the board.
LOL Ghazi....
yeah..and the Mavs really are the 2006 NBA Champs too..lol...Obviously would have rolled over the Celts too.
I guess it is true that the Spurs won every series they didn't play.
dude everyone knows the spurs won in 2006, it was the 2nd of our 3-peat. after we beat you guys we raped Phoenix as usual in the WCF, then swept Miami in the Finals. we also swept the Finals the following year...a 3-peat with back-to-back Finals sweeps.
i know it was a bitter loss against us in '06 but christ get over it already.
So is your beloved team.
I feel bad for dirk the whole world is against him
There's no price to pay for this kind of BS officiating, that's why it continues.
David Stern press release:
'We screwed up. So what?'
During the timeout before Anthony's winning shot, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle reminded his players they had a foul to give and told them to use it. Wright's attempt was good enough for the league office, but not for the crew. The official closest to the play was Mark Wunderlich, the same official who did not call a foul on Los Angeles' Derek Fisher at the end of Game 4 of last year's Western Conference finals.
This would sting alot more for Mavs fans if they hadn't won the 2006 championship.
most people wont view it that way though
If Nuggets win 4-0 or 4-1 people will say nuggets were better team and woulda won regardless.
But the dynamics of the series were altered by that call POSSIBLY (Nuggets still could've won, I suppose)... and people seem to forget there was some bad officiating in Game 1. The way they were playing Dirk he deserved 12-14 FT's but only got 4 + 1 technical. And then there's the ominous 1-15 record w/ Crawford officiating w/ 43 less fouls and 115 less free throws... which if objectivity is assumed has about a 1-2% chance of happening.
I dunno, I guess I'm not THAT upset at end of day since Mavs weren't winning a le regardless. It's just deflating and discouraging. Makes the ghaz feel empty
Look, dude, I'm a big Spurs fan, but I'm honest and not stupid: I know the Lakers were a much better team last year than we were. And I know that is even more true (obviously) this year.
Most of us already know that.
If we don't admit our deficiencies, we won't ever improve.
The first step on the road to improvement is to admit you screwed up and your team isn't very good.
Our team isn't very good and would not make it out of the first round as presently cons uted. So, if the front office makes no moves, I would predict we lose in the first round again.
And I can detail areas of major weakness.
And I love my Spurs as much as anyone.
How many shots did the Mavs miss in the fourth quarter? How many of those fadeaways did Dirk brick in the last few minutes of the game?
Andonce again at Wright acting like he was trying to intentionally foul, when he's doing the same motion Mavfan makes fun of Tim Duncan for doing. Gotta love the Maverick propoganda department.
How is it "mavericks propaganda" if the league admitted a botched call?How many shots did the Mavs miss in the fourth quarter? How many of those fadeaways did Dirk brick in the last few minutes of the game?
And
Mark Cuban just wants to improve the quality of the officiating.
(By publicly complaining...
and running onto the court to berate the officials)
and only when said improved officiating benefits the Mavericks.
reminds me of the game in NO this year when we purposely fouled Chris Paul twice in the backcourt, but the refs didnt call it. They did however, call the foul on Manu as Paul was shooting the 3.
then there was game 4 of last years WCF
happens and then you move on. after all the bull ways the Spurs have lost games over the years, I will not have any sympathy or remorse for any other team, especially one full of es like Dirk Hasselhoff, Turtlehead, Cuban, Dampier, Mr. Ed, Wife Beater, and the Puerto Rican Pygmy
Watch the play; Wright committed a blocking foul at best and put his hands up. Only after the shot went in did he turn to the officials to complain. If he'd wanted to intentionally foul, he could simply have wrapped melo up. It's not like he didn't have chances. That David Stern decided to issue that press release isn't any more right than when he suspended Bruce Bowen, it was a political decision that wasn't based on anything that actually happened.
Hey, it's a moral victory that the dumbass NBA made an incorrect knee-jerk statement due to pressure from your team. When's the parade?
Really no point in arguing with Spurs fans
Carmelo kept playing and put the ball in the basket. Wright made the worst excuse for an intentional foul in the history of basketball on the heels of his team just ting away a lead with their lack of aggression and un-clutchness. I don't think there's really anything unjust about the outcome of the game.
Not when you won't accept facts, there isn't. If you watched the game, you know damn good and well that Wright wasn't intentionally fouling, and that he was trying to play defense. He made contact with his chest, trying to get position and put his hands up and backed away immediately after instead of just putting his arms around a guy that was right in front of him.
