Free Throw Watch ...

Spurs played Hack-A-Damp, if your uneducated got N.O. ass knew that, you'd know why there's such a big disparity.

It's still very uneven head!

I'm slowly beginning to realize that the Mavs are to the Spurs as the Spurs are to the Suns. However the Spurs vs. Suns series were much funner to watch. God I hate the Mavs but I gotta admit they seem to just be the better team and a terrible matchup for us.

Whatever, as long as Spurs get same treatment at home.

The FT disparity is largely the Spurs own doing - or should I say undoing. The Mavs uncharacteristically attacked the basket, thereby getting the Spurs into the penalty early in quarters 1 and 2. Of course, this doesn't apply to Dirk, who was getting his calls by feasting on the tick-tack fouls by Bonner, Mason and a host of others. Many resulted in "and-1" situations.

Meanwhile, the Spurs were busy turning the ball over, dribbling away the shot clock or forcing passes off of pick-n-roll situations into a clogged lane. As far as I'm concerned, the Spurs made that bed for themselves because the shot a higher FG % than the Mavs for most of the entire game.

The Spurs had more points in the paint than the Mavs. Manu and Tim were attacking the basket, they just were not getting calls. That will not be the case in game two. I can guarentee that Spurs will shoot 20+ free throws in game two.
