yeah that Bowen foul with 8 seconds left was "even handed"and the refs aren't even that biased towards the Mavs. It's just even
Go away.
You forgot to mention he was right.

Barkley is a Mavs hater from way back...he's just whining like all of the Spurs fans...
That is an absurd way to call a game. If there is a foul, the refs should call it.
Rasho would have to be in the game
Do you honestly sleep at night with the way those games are called? Seriously i have talked to mavs fans and even they have said the calls were going there way. If you NEED this series win to think your on the same level franchise wise as the spurs your mistaken
Kelly Dwyer of SI.com:
One thing worth noting is the fact that Erick Dampier has gotten away with pushing Tim Duncan out of the lane all series long. He leans into him while the guards drive, easing him out of defensive position with a bent forearm. Technically, Dampier can do what he's doing, because he's allowed to feign boxing out, or pretend to struggle for position when Duncan "fronts" (in quotation marks, because we know Tim has no interest in fronting Dampier in the post) him in the paint. Still, if the refs decide to change the way they call the play, the Mavs could find dashing toward the rim a little tougher during the next game or three.
This leads into the nasty subtext of the series, the one that suggests the Mavs have only accrued a 3-1 lead because of a series of calls that have gone in their favor. As usual, there were some real bum trips tonight, but Tim Duncan had a potentially game-winning jump hook to hit from eight feet as the final seconds ticked away in regulation, and Spurs fans can't ask for more than that.
It stinks horribly that Manu Ginobili (26 points in 26 minutes) had to foul out with 2:28 left in the game, especially on a dodgy call (Jason Terry leaned into Ginobili while shooting an 18 footer). And yet, it's Manu's stinkin' fault for trying to block a Jason Terry 3-pointer in the first place. If Ginobili closes out properly just seconds before, Terry isn't able to pump fake and drive his way to the free-throw line. Also, I can't recall seeing two delay of game penalties called in one game in years. To have two separate, if understandable, bouts of petulance come from the Spurs (both Ginobili and Brent Barry keeping the ball from the refs after horrible calls) was even more shocking. Bad refs or not, the Spurs should have risen above.
Yes, the Spurs should rise above all that crap. Let's try something new: let the MAVS try to rise above all that crap in the remaining three games and see how well they do.
I slept great last night!!
he's a basketball fan and hates to see games called like they are this postseason. he said the officiating has been horrible across the board in every game, every series. he just had a very nice example of horrible officiating to prove his point. the spurs definitely got beat in overtime, terry was huge. but the game should not have got to that point - dirk clears out bowen with his elbow twice, and gets a whistle to tie the game. that's total bull . i could kinda understand if he was attempting to get to the rim, you could file that under home cooking, but he wasn't being aggressive at all, and got bailed out. if he makes the shot, fine, but don't bail him out for being a pansy.
Such . The Spurs have to win every game twice, and if they don't they deserve to lose.
The Spurs won the championship last year IN SPITE of the NBA, the referees, the media, and the Pistons. The league is very pissed at the Spurs because they upset their apple cart (Detroit repeating). They are determined that is not going to happen again, and we are witnessing a travesty (and EVERYONE is witnessing it, whether they admit it or not).
Yes, there are three teams on the floor every game, and the Spurs have to beat two of them to win. And one of those teams has the power to see to it that the Spurs don't beat the other basketball team...and that is exactly what they are doing.

Bull , Barkley is not a "Mavs hater". That's preposterous. And, he is NOT a Spurs fan, never has been; he's a Ginobili fan, period. He never gave the Spurs the time of day until Ginobili came along. Charles is calling it like he sees it. If he had believed the officiating was fair, he would have either said so and that he didn't understand all the whining about it, or he would have just kept his mouth shut about it.
Chuck is just bitter because he's got a load of cash bet on the Spurs to win this series. Oh, but he never bets on basketball right?
Are you looking for a place to dump that load of horse ? Because nobody here is buying.Chuck is just bitter because he's got a load of cash bet on the Spurs to win this series. Oh, but he never bets on basketball right?
Looks like Mark Cuban is a lot smarter than you Mav fans. When the series started, he blogged about how atrocious the refs were. In your eyes, did that make him a whiner as you love to say? Now that the scales have been tipped in the Mavs favor, there are crickets chirping on his blog. You guys want to win so bad that you have no sense of fairness. Would I take the wins under the same cir stances? You bet I would! However, I would not be trying to "pretend" that no such thing happened. Get off of it Mav fans! You "know" you are full of ! You have a very good team but so do we. If only Mav fans had as much talent as their team!
what foul?
I can't believe what I'm reading. Spurs fans here are all ed. Blaming the refs? FOR THREE GAMES IN A ROW?? Seriously? Does your team ever lose on their own? They do - and for the first time this season, they've lost 3 in a row. To a better team.
Peri- ing-od.
ing ungrateful, bangwagon, uneducated, pussified, ing babies that can't take the idea that their team is about to bow out. Were you like this the other years where SA had a chance to repeat and failed?
You are being beaten by the Mavericks. A team that, no matter how hard you try to argue, are playing better and wanting it more than your Spurs right now. You can try to make all the bull anti-refs debates you want but your team still comes up short in the end. You honestly believe that 3 different refs in 3 different games with 3 different feels are going to intentionally call the game against San Antonio? One with the commissioner sitting just a few feet away in the stands??
No, you're whining like Mavs fans did when our team was losing... because you're doing something the Spurs haven't done in a while... lose.
Still don't think the Mavs are a better team, but they are playing excellent ball and have taken the Spurs completely out of their game. I don't blame the refs for any of the losses, just think it was really bad officiating. In 2 of the 3 losses the Spurs had a chance to win and just didn't execute.
I went to bed thinking, wonder if Barkley mentiones the horrible officiating. wow he did!
Yeah, ask TP how easy FTs are to make. Boxing out and rebounding the ball is easy too. Heck, making an inbound pass is easy. Hmmm, who's this Harris kid making the mighty Spurs look like the Griz?
Don't you think other owners/franchises complain about the refs? Some not so public as others. Cuban's an idiot and rookie owner. He's got all you Spurs fan hating his team because of his freaking mop of a hairdo.
I don't know!
tell me how many rings has barkley won? what exactly makes him so credible to give b-ball advice?
exactly....zero, zilch, nil, none. I could care less what this gambling idiot says. Just cuz he bet on the spurs and it's not working out....
Lets not forget that our centers fouled out last night. FOULED OUT, we had noone left to play that position, well mbenga was there, but he is a working project.
Oh and lets not forget SPURS HAD A CHANCE TO WIN. funny how we don't have a "screw duncan" thread, because he lost you the game.
Did you really think the spurs had more gas to use up in OT? I didn't think so.
[QUOTE=mavs fans]rings don't matter now
Damn would you stupid Mavs fans forget the stupid Barkley gambling , y'all's conspiracy theories are hypocritical and just damn silly. And even though he doesn't have a ring, he still has a lot more legitimacy to comment than any of you "people"...how many rings have YOU won that weren't out of the Wal-Mart quarter machine? Damn.
clean up your language then talk to me.
