the league may fine Cuban for whining about the refs if they don;t find anything... saw the game at Bennigans in Grapevine... people at the bar just left to the tables not to be besides me in the 4th quarter!
Udoka was backpeddling and his foot was moving away from Dirk when Dirk was tripped. Udoka did nothing wrong and no foul should have been called.

When you act like a clown, people tend to treat you like one.......
Maybe it wasn't an elbow he felt, instead, it was Finley's balls getting revenge for the punch Terry threw in '06?
Terry is a dirty player himself, so he should shut his pie-hole.
That's billionaire clown to you, sparky.
Elbows are completely out of line. Now, if Bowen had punched him in the penis, that's something that Terry could respect...
With the exception of tripping over his own feet (and Udoka had actually gotten away with a clear foul earlier on that play before Dirk got the ball), I didn't have a problem with any of the calls that sent Dirk to the line.
My beef would be that if Duncan had been officiated the same way, Damp/Bass both would have fouled out in the first half.
Complain, Complain...that's all ya'll mavs fans do. It's never your fault if you lose. Cuban... Complain all you want, nobody likes you anyway...and u are a horrible dancer.
We'll need to take up a collection and buy Terry one first.
LMAO that I never heard Cuban complain about Eddie F. Rush who always giftwraps games to their soft asses. Yeah, Terry's not going to go after someone for no good reason?
Like when he puched Fin in the ing nuts because he had the balls to dive for a loose ball and force a jumpball with him?
Allow me to retort!
(a) the original poster claimed Dirk tripped over his own foot. Clearly you agree with me that he did trip over Udoka's foot.
(b) On a trip like this, it's the ref's decision whether to call it or not. Generally, if the offensive player is going in a normal direction (as opposed to straight into the defensive player), and the defensive player is not rooted to one spot, the call will be made. It seems unfair, because there was no intent to foul, but that is the way it's called.
Mavs players, coaches and owner ing about officiating? So what else is new?
Dirk shot more FTs that the entire Spurs team. So I don't wanna hear any of their in'. The reasons behind their losses are always the fault of someone else.
'06 NBA Finals versus Heat - officials were out to get us - form Game 3 through 6.
Dirk has made an art form out of driving and looking for feet to step on. Witness the "foul" that took Duncan out of the game in the '06 playoffs wher he was backpedaling, Dirk ran up on him and stepped on his foot.
a) that's what it looked like to me. It's the same as when Duncan got called for a foul when Dirk stepped on his foot a couple years ago. NOTE: I do not record the games, so I have not gone back and looked at it.
b) It's called wrong. Udoka was in a legal defensive position and is en led to his own space. There SHOULD NOT have been a foul called on that. It was not a foul.
That being said, 90% of the time, especially if a "superstar" is involved, a foul will be called, albeit incorrectly. That particular call annoys me because it's incorrect, but it's not really worth worrying about since it's a consistently called incorrect foul.
Calm down !
It's a regular season game !
A 1 possession game !
We could losed this game but i am happy we won it !
If Mavs and Spurs meet in playoffs, it's 50/50.
That was a great match, with big intensity. A very tough matchup.
The refs made good calls / bad calls... both side !
Typical 'it's not our fault it's everyone elses' Mavs/Suns bull .
lol boo ing hoo pussies shut the up and play the game already its not our fault your team is consisted of thugs/cry-babies/chokers. lol at Terry ing when he punched Finley in the nuts 2 yrs ago for no reason....That jackass belongs out of the NBA.
Terry complaining about cheapshots.Really! He's should be the last one to say anything.
Bowen is our Lambieer!
Way to lose it JET.
I agree with KState that it's not about the calls Dirk got (with a couple of noteable exceptions), my ing is about the fact that the same calls were not being made on the other side of the court. There were numerous times that Duncan, Ginobili and Parker were fouled on attempts that were not called. Normally, that's just the course of the game, but when the same things are counting against the Spurs, then it needs also to be called against the Mavs to be fair.
It wasn't, it pissed me the off, and I hate watching games like that that are completely interrupted by the refs. The only stretch that wasn't interrupted nearly every trip down the court was the brief period of time in which the Spurs made their 11-1 run to tie up the game. As soon as that happened, bam! suddenly the whistles started again.
As for the Mavs and Kidd in general - I think in many aspects Kidd does in fact improve their team (especially when they can begin to anticipate his passes). But in the aspect that most interests me - the Spurs/Mavs matchup- I think they got worse. I think the Spurs can much more easily beat the Mavs over a series than before the trade. Not a sweep or anything - but I feel confident in a win.
Now the Mavs may be able to do quite well in the playoffs, depending on seeding - if the Spurs got knocked out, they could go quite far, imo. I would love to see an LA/Dallas matchup.
I agree. Which is why Dallas doesn't pose a serious threat anymore. Too many flaws were exposed during the Warriors shocker Round 1 series with them (with Devin Harris and Diop).
Mavs, I predict, even with a top 4 seed, will be out in the first round once again.
LMAO.... "dumb ery". I'm keeping that one.
I don't know if something upset JET earlier in the game, but that's not what set him off right at that moment. It was frustration. And getting the T was stupid.
To Cuban and a lot of Mavs fans, that phantom "elbow" is just further proof of how dirty Bowen plays. It doesn't matter when the film shows it's bull , his reputation speaks for itself. Stop and consider that some of the other that he's been accused of was just about that solid.
Ray Allen claimed that Bowen intentionally stepped under him when he took a jump shot. I've got the video clip. Allen came down at least 3 feet in front of where he took off on the shot. If what Bowen did was wrong, nobody in the league would ever be able to defend a 3-point shot. But that play is one of the bits of "proof" that established Bowen's reputation. (I also have about half a dozen clips of Allen stepping under jump shooters. But hey, why let facts get in the way?)
Last year in the playoffs, Amare Stoudamire accused Bowen of trying to hurt his surgically reconstructed leg. Fans across the country believed it out of hand. But then some low-angle video surfaced that showed Amare's story was bull . No matter. Ask nearly any Suns fan, and they will cite that incident as part of the "proof" that Bowen is dirty. And by that, I mean the incident that Amare fabricated.
Bruce Bowen is, and has been, one of a defensive player. It's a huge injustice that some of this crap has been allowed to overshadow his skills and effort.

He's only unhappy with the officiating because his overriding concern is for the officiating to be as good as it can possibly be. That his concern only flares up after following Mavericks losses, and losses to the Spurs in particular*, is just coincidence.
*the Dairy Queen comments were immediately following a Mavs loss to the Spurs in Dallas.
And thank God for the Kidd trade. If the Spurs had come out this poorly playing the Mavs with Diop and Harris, they'd have lost by 20.
Manu would've gone for 30 points if Kidd wasn't here. Duncan owns both Dampier and Diop. Bass surprisingly had the most success against Duncan.
