Ok, neanderthal.

[ChumpDumper]

Ok, stalker.

as someone already said, every team and their fans think they get ripped off at some point. Its nothing new and there is no point calling out others for whining coz everyone has done it or will do it at some point.

Refs arent perfect and some games are really badly skewed to one team but fans whining wont change the outcome.

Mavs fans aren't any worse than any other teams fans (Nuggets, Spurs, whoever ) when it comes to whining

[ChumpDumper]

I'm not sure. I don't remember so many fans whining about refs after their team won.

Mavs fans are s. Why are they even still here on Spurstalk? We don't like them. They're rude and whiney. They're just still on the board to talk , and that is part of why we don't like them. I Think they have a great team, and Avery Johnson is a fantastic coach. But Cuban sucks and so do their fans. Go thump your chests somewhere else.

Your reply is the exact reason why most of the Mavs fans are still here...

Huh???

I know refs are going to miss calls or make wrong calls throughout the game. Those I can live with, because over the course of the game they usually pretty much even out for both teams.

The calls I hate are the ones the make or don't make in the final minute or so of a game that ends up deciding the game. When someone gets hacked trying to make a putback, it's a goddamn foul....I don't care if there is on a second and half left in the game.

The thing that really ing gets to me is hearing the media or Mav's fans comment on Game 7 by saying, " You don't call a ticky-tack foul in the last few seconds of game 7 of a series and let a game be decided at the free throw line, you let it be decided in overtime." (regarding Dirk hold Tim down after Tim got the offensive rebound off of Manu's missed lay-up).

Yet they had no problem with letting Dirk go to the line to send that game into overtime after the call on Manu for the 3 point play.

Too bad Dirk didn't even foul Duncan on that play.

Not to mention we had a 20+ lead in the game and the refs were the only reason SA was in a position to win the game there. So they didn't you ANOTHER call and give you the game, oh well. Instead they sent it to OT where the Spurs choked bigtime and Duncan got owned by Diop

Now referees aren't allowed to have personalities, to the point of barring them from talking to the press. It's all corporate … except for Cuban, who has paid more than $1 million in fines and made matching donations to charity to show how much it bothered him.

There's more to Cuban than his enfant terrible act, breathing life into his franchise. Despite an ego struggle with coach Don Nelson, they kept it together for five seasons until Nellie walked away, when Cuban turned to Avery Johnson, whom Nelson had nominated as his successor.

Cuban's willingness to answer e-mails makes him the people's owner of all time. On the other hand, he's a little too down-to-earth, acting like a yahoo on talk radio.

His team, he claims, either wins or has it stolen by referees, supervised by the bumbling league office while the national press, which hates Cuban, the Mavericks and Dallas, makes up lies.

Cuban's May 23 blog, the day after his team eliminated the Spurs, was standard conspiracy theory, noting TNT's website had put up a montage of players from Detroit, Miami and Phoenix, with San Antonio's Tim Duncan where Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki should have been.

"I guess we didn't get the memo," wrote Cuban. "Unbelievable? Not to the Mavs family. We don't care what the national media thinks. We don't care what the NBA thinks. We believe!"

Actually, if it wasn't for Cuban, no one would have anything against the Mavericks, who are low-key guys and indisputably an elite team. Nor is Dallas some burg pining to be major league. The Cowboys once billed themselves as America's Team and had the national TV ratings to back it up.

With Cuban around, America's Team may now be Whoever's Playing the Mavericks.

As great as the Mavericks-Spurs series was, Cuban, not Nowitzki, may have been the MVP for going onto the floor in Game 1. (Ka-ching! This is the league, that'll be $200,000. Do you want to use the credit card on your account?)

Coaches think drawing a technical foul buys a call or two, but 200K buys more than that.

The Mavericks won Game 3 because of a 50-32 edge in free-throw attempts, with Duncan fouling out when Nowitzki came down on his foot. They won Game 4 when the officials put Nowitzki on the line at the end after a little bump by Bruce Bowen. In Game 7, the officials let Nowitzki get away with going over Duncan's shoulder and hacking him to prevent the winning layup.

There are always questionable calls both ways and the Mavericks proved themselves as worthy as the Spurs. Nevertheless, with Cuban's exuberance and Johnson's determination to toughen his team up, Big D now stands for Dizzy.

Dallas fans booed the Spurs' Michael Finley, the fourth-leading scorer in Mavericks history, who left only after being dumped for luxury tax relief.

If that wasn't bad enough on the yahoo scale, several media outlets encouraged fans to boo Nash, whose departure to Phoenix had been lamented locally while he was twice most valuable player for the Suns.

Even Cuban, who suggested Finley was a "crybaby," thought that was a bit much and, as Jerry Stackhouse noted, it might be good to "let sleeping dogs lie."

Bingo!

Nash scored 10 of his 27 points in the last 3:26 of Game 1 as the Suns came from nine down to steal it. With Raja Bell reportedly out until Game 5, they remain underdogs but as we in the national media like to say, it ain't over till it's over.

I guess it isn't only Spurs fans that have a problem with the Mavs? Shocking. He's really right on one thing, no one hates the mavs players, just Cuban's 15 year old at ude regarding basketball.

Yeah, the refs really know how to coax in a 3 point shot by Micheal Finley. The Mavs never blow leads, it's actually quite an anomaly when they do.

No one said they never blow leads. Wasn't the FT differential like 28-6 at one point? Yea, we overcame though and won so oh well but it's hilarious to see people whining about a no call on a non-foul at the end of the game when bull calls were the only reason their team wasn't blown out by 20+ points for the 2nd time in the series. Not to mention the team had an overtime period to win a game 7 on their home court but choked.
