Official Referee Whining Thread (I have merged over 10 threads here)

[spurster]

It was a BS call.

[Ginofan]

FT disparagy is usualy more about who is the aggressor than who is being favored.

Even with your 'conspiracies' the Spurs had a chance with Stack being his usual unclutch self, and the Spurs couldn't do it.

Pop will regroup as he always does. This series is FAR from over. Have some faith in the team. They have obveously been able to overcome the opposing 15 (12+3 refs) 3 times in the past...

I have plenty of ing faith in the team. Don't you dare doubt that. I just don't have the confidence in the officiating. You talk about the aggressor of the game. Did you happen to see Manu Ginobili in the second half? THAT, my friend, is aggression. Dirk is notorious for not being a true post player, he's NOT an aggressor. There's no way he should go to the line that many times unless we are talking OTs.

[jacobdrj]

if the spurs lose this series, it will be due to the games being fixed by foul calls, and i will lose immense amounts of interest in watching NBA if it turns in to WWF.

Great teams overcome even the referees. Fact.

[Fabbs]

Oh okay. How do you "adjust' when Stackhouse misses the shot, Dork Novitski gets the O board, misses the shot and is not even touched yet gets the game winning FTs? What were we supposed to do any differently?

Asshole shoots 3-9 yet gets 24 FTs. Adjust my ass. No team is so good they can overcome that bullcrap.

[A-Train]

Well, if it wasn't for the Spurs' decision to hack at will at the end of the game...

Anyways, that was ridiculous down the stretch. Especially when the refs bailed out Dirklutz.

[JMarkJohns]

I thought they whistled Bowen on that play?

if not, then there shouldn't have been a foul.

Tough loss. That you had it won...

Definately though Timmy got jobbed.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Yet another with championship envy.

envy? yeh im envious of you sitting on ur butt cheering a team.........you do some hard work for that championship

[picnroll]

all the fouls on diop and dampier were touch fouls. When dirk went to the line it was because he was hit in the act of shooting. period

The he was hit. Duncan went off on the refs big time in the post- game conference on that call and the BS calls in general. Duncan never goes off on the refs. About time.

[greyforest]

Great teams overcome even the referees. Fact.

i would say 103-104 when my team is down 19 points in FT shooting is ing incredible.

i would also say its ing pathetic to watch. if we would have won i wouldn't even cheer, i would still be ing PISSED.

[A-Train]

I think they called Bowen for the hold down low.

[CharlieMac]

Dirk scores 21 of his 27 from the free throw line.



What a fraud.

Another eye-opening stat. For people with common sense of course.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

do you know what reality is?
you two should meet sometime.


if i was a mavericks fan this would be a hollow win, because my team wouldn't have won by playing better.

yep, reality is that the spurs are done

the mavs are the superior team this season and noone here can deal with it

[ALVAREZ6]

I <3 NBA officiating!!!


In 5 years, if you look at someone it will be a technical.



This is crazy, no contact at all is allowed in the NBA. I don't see how it's possible to play a sport with 10 guys in a crammed area without allowing minor contact.

NBA

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

yup i dont know about the game....do you even play organized basketball or have ever played?

Mavs Man 41,

Just because you were a team manager for the 6th grade girls team at your middle school doesn't mean you've ever 'played'.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

I wasn't sure what happened on that play, so I gave the officials the benefit of the doubt and assumed he must've been really hit. I'll have to go back and see what actually happened, but after all the stupid they were calling on one end it wouldn't shock me to see another phantom call go their way.

[greyforest]

yep, reality is that the spurs are done

the mavs are superior because they don't get called for fouling air.

watch the ing game you ing stupid re got, it is ING IMPOSSIBLE to not see ref bias.

[Lakerfan]

You adjust the plan not what the Refs are gonna do.

the Spurs had to play catch-up the whole game i expect the Spurs to get going early in Game 4.

[braeden0613]

omg get a life and quit ing about the calls.....no referee is perfect it was just a close game

you get a life you know very well that if this went the other way...the entire town of dallas would be burning refs jerseys and cuban would be typing furiously on his computer

[KingsFanWithoutName]

These are the same posters complaining that the Kings shot too many FT's. Its called taking it to the hoop more than the other team.

[picnroll]

Dirks oin NBA TV now. Says his ankles okay but he strained his vagina agian.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

watch the ing game you ing stupid re got, it is ING IMPOSSIBLE to not see ref bias.

lol i love it........now ur attacking me personally

poor you, taking a game so personally

[picnroll]

You are a fan of Manu Ginobili. Stop complaining. Notice how his NBA career "took off" when the new rules were put in place that didn't allow you to touch on the perimeter?

If the game was called like it was 15-20 years ago you'd be complaining about Manu getting hacked. His game is all about drawing contact that doesn't exist.

Trust me, I wish it was called like it was back in the day. But be careful what you wish for.

Ew! He has a vagina? Mark Cuban just lost interest then.
