Never want to hear another Mavs fan say jack about DWade in the Finals

You cant touch a shooters arm.

You cant push him offbalance.

You cant use both hands.

Some Spurs players should read the rulebook and doesnt do this crap to a 90+FT shooter. Thats like always handchecking a driving Wade or Bryant and complain about the calls...

The old read the rulebook defense. So when the Mavericks do those things and don't get called for a foul it's aggressive play, right? What about when the air conditioning blows him over as it seems to do on a regular basis?

[StoneBuddha]

The officiating wasn't even close to being as bad as the Spurs-Mavs in 2006. Plus in that series, the Spurs were clearly playing a higher level of basketball, which made it much harder to swallow.

Still, if they are going to give Dirk all those and 1's, it'd be nice if Duncan got his calls in the paint as well.

" the Spurs are playing solid defense! If the refs weren't so ing biased, Spurs would go 82-0/16-0 in the playoffs ever year! the refs, they don't want SA winning les even though they've already won 4! "

If you saw the game this cannot be your real solution in defending Dirk.

I saw. Why not?

Wrong. It's just as comparable. Repost from the main thread about FTA/FGA:

2006:

Wade(reg season): .569
Duncan(reg season): .437
Dirk(reg season): .383

In the second round, Dirk received a sizable boost compared to TD:

Dirk vs Spurs: .726
Duncan vs Mavs: .626

In the Finals, the Mavs evaporated when Dirk stopped receiving the superstar treatment he was getting in the earlier rounds:

Wade vs Mavs: .698
Dirk vs Heat: .526

This year:

Duncan(reg season): .345
Dirk(reg season): .389

Duncan(tonight): .25
Dirk(tonight): .857 ( ing ridiculous for a perimeter player)

Dirk's field goal attempts decrease while the amount of free throws he takes skyrockets. Mav fan really has no right to about Wade when Dirk is getting such preferential treatment from the refs.

Look at how the Mavs were allowed to mug Tim in the post but you couldn't breath on Dirk, you Mav gots disgust me.

[alchemist]

I saw. Why not?

A lot of those calls weren't reach ins, some of them were fouls on players fighting for position. You can't body or front him otherwise it's a foul.

Meanwhile Damp and Haywood are allowed to body Tim without picking up fouls.

Your parents must be proud. But i guess your father blames his sister for it...

[KaiRMD1]

You know what's funny, I don't hear none of the same people complaining about Wade saying anything tonight. I guess there's nothing but a bunch of Mark Cuban's in Dallas.......oh well, "good" win Dallas, hope the refs bail you out some more in the series

Define "a lot".

[alchemist]

Define "a lot".

I'll give you an exact amount tomorrow after I'm done rewatching the DVR copy, should be a treat to watch that mess again

good ole family joke

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

maybe don't play HACK A DAMPIER you stupid ing got.

of course a bunch of ignorant ass uneducated ing Spur Fans would think the disparity was all because the refs gave Dallas FT's. YOU ING HACKED DAMPIER FOR HALF THE GODDAMN GAME BECAUSE YOU WANTED HIM TO GO TO THE FT LINE!

It was six FTs during hackadamp. Move along re .

[ZB 512]

yea it was only the most one sided rigged finals series ive ever seen in many years watching sports

the all time free throw attempt record that DWhistle set in that series will never be broken

[crc21209]

If these calls are what are considered fouls nowadays I'd love to see what a foul in the 80's would get you today...most likely a 5-10 game suspension or worse..

[duhoh]

uh no. he shot like 4 FTs from that strategy. it stopped when he made both in a row.

but anyways, carry on

did you watch the game?

the Hack a Damp let to 8 FT attempts, and they hacked him on two other shots in the post instead of letting him have point blank shots

[Brodels]

The only reason your pussy ass team won tonight was Air getting to shoot as many free throws as the Spurs team combined.

What's going to happen when you don't get to shoot 20 more FTs in the game than SA?

I seem to remember just about everybody defending Dirk except for the two people who really could have made a difference. Matt Bonner played meaningful minutes. The Spurs turned the ball over way too many times. Hill and Jefferson were useless.

I guess if blaming it all on the refs makes you feel better, go for it. I expect that the Mavs will win some more games in this series, and the free throw disparity might not always be in the Mavs' favor, so you better be preparing some other excuses now.

[mavsfan1000]

Spurs have no one that can handle Dirk. It's pretty obvious. They match more poorly now than in 2006 due to this. They miss Bowen badly.

I'd think they'd do o.k. if McDyess and Duncan defended him most of the time with someone like Blair getting a chance to defend him some. Dirk's not going to shoot as well as he did last night every game. I'm not worried about what Dirk brings to the table. I'm more worried about how the Spurs choose to defend him and whether or not they can fix all of the other issues.

[sonic21]

Mavs outplayed the Spurs. The refereeing was pretty even.

[poop]

Dirk is the spurs' D-Whistle.

the travesty in the '06 spurs-mavs series was just as bad as what happened to you s in the finals, except you guys 'won' that series so you ignore it.
