    Awww, poor Mark. Who's fault is it that he's in this situation?

    I know! Must be the refs!

    o response regarding your claim about the # of FT's for Dirk in game 2??
    I was generalizing about the series and the kid gloves treatment Dirk got.

    As for game 2, sorry I had the player wrong, but the fact remains the refs opened the floodgate wide in the second quarter and the Spurs got buried.

    Your points don't mean squat. Of course they can't rig every last aspect of the game. What they can do is influence the officiating. See Lakers vs Blazers in 2000 WCF. See Lakers vs Kings in 2002(?) WCF. See Spurs vs Mavs in 2006 WC semis. See Mavs vs Heat in 2006 NBA Finals. The list goes on and on.

    The league has to be rigged. Could all these dumbass moves the Trailblazers have been making for years just be sheer stupidity? I think not.

    I'm still bewildered by that foul. I'll bet every once in a while pop and every other spurs players are still, every once in a while, stopping what ever they're doing and just shake their heads.

    It just boggles the mind...[/QUOTE]


    Um, I really doubt it. If it wasn't for Manu, the game would've ended in a blowout. Plus they know the refs screwed them in at least two games that series. Believe it or not, the Spurs are professional enough and balanced enough in their lives to have perspective. They're not going to regret anything, because they know they gave their best. If they feel bad about anything, it'd be how poorly and lackluster they played for the first 20 mins or so of the game.

    Dirk avg'd 11.4 FT/game in the Spurs series...
    9 against the Suns
    10 against the Grizz

    Doesn't really seem that out of whack...he's a matchup nightmare...

    Dirk
    15.6 @ home
    8.25 @ SA

    and let's look at Duncan
    12.9 FT's / game
    16 @ home
    8.6 @ Dal

    Amazingly similar...for the 2 guys that are matchup nightmares for the other team...

    The fact that the NBA's superstars a) get more calls and b) get more calls at home is NOTHING new...

    What was the point of this again?

    Will Mavs fans go away once they lose the series?

    Quite the contrary. If they lose they'll flock here in droves for the 'at least we beat the Spurs ' consolation prize.

    I dont really hope that wont be the catchphrase IF the Mavs lose (which I am still doubting - its goin 7). I would hope "least we beat the spurs" is not enuf.

    Bc its not enuf. By no means. There's no such thing as a consolation prize when you lose the Finals. Not to me. But who am I?

    That isnt even fun thinking about "least we beat the Spurs..." please.

    Cuban blasts the Miami Herald for going with the story without trying to confirm it with him first. I heard part of the interview with the reporter on Mike&Mike this morning. He claimed to had sent an e-mail to Cuban that went unanswered. Mike&Mike sent him an e-mail as well. Mark Cuban in the article claims to have received over 8000 e-mails in the last week. This is one problem with making e-mail your primary method of contact.

    Without Cuban Parker and Ginobli would be nothing in this league.



    and like he said, the Miami Herald is the same place who informed him of having a boat docked in Miami.

    The real question is when Cuban says that the NBA is rigged, is he complaining or bragging?

    The most amusing thing is when opposing teams' fans postulate that the NBA rigs games so that the San Antonio Spurs and their 50th in the US media market will win championships.

    It was cuban who helped get hand checking on the perimeter, and that opened up the guards being able to get into the paint where parker thrives.

    If he said it, it would've been reported in more than one article, in the 10th paragraph, in Miami...

    Get a clue people...

    So what your telling me is, that they have no talent and they just get by refs bailing them out with foul calls?
