Me. The end of that game 5 was ridiculous.
You should put this quote in your sig:
J.J. Barea was asked what aspect of playing defense gives him the most trouble.
"Everything," Barea said.
At least hes honest
Me. The end of that game 5 was ridiculous.
Game 3 was Wade turning on god mode and deciding to assrape the Mavs. No bad calls at all. Epic chokejob and epic performance by Wade.
Game 4 was a blowout.
Games 5 and 6 were atrociously reffed to the Heat's advantage, especially in the final quarters. I still remember Dirk getting whistled because his ribs impeded the motion of Wade's elbow.
Yup, he won the game at the line after elbowing Dirk in the ribs. Absolutely no way to possibly justify blowing the whistle on Dirk in that scenario. It was as blatant an offensive foul there ever was
Urban myth
Show me what plays you are talking about.
All of the 'phantom foul' bull has been disproved.
False. There used to be a sight dedicated to pointing out all of the phantom calls in that series. They had videos of all of them, then the NBA removed all of the videos off youtube. Wade would just be going up for a jumpshot with no one around im and the whistle would blow, it was ridiculous.
Miami Heat = Zero time NBA champions.
Listen to this audio broadcast of Donaghy discussing the series
http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/player?id=4729343
"referee's have personal vendetta's who they take out on certain players, coaches, and owners and mark was obviously one of them"
"when cuban went up 2 games to none in that series, and the way that nba referees are trained to favor teams that are down in series, obviously had a major part in giving the Miami Heat the advantage after they fell in that hole"
Myth
I saw all the youtube videos and claims
There are pictures and it has been DISPROVEN with photo evidence. There were no phantom foul conspiracy.
If there were any bad calls, it went both ways, but most of the 'bad call' whining is a myth.
Cuban on PTI was funny today, he said he wasn't going to comment on Donaghy because he's been fined so many times..he said he hasn't changed his stance on officiating at all though, obviously not surprising..
"when bennet salvador made the call for the heat that majorly changed the series in game 5, what did he have to gain by making that call?"
"im not sure what he had to gain other than gaining good graces with the league"
funny how some fans decide to side with donaghy when it's convenient for them and then diss other fans from other teams when it isnt.
"crawford did brag about the fact that dallas only won one playoff game that he reffed, i believe now it's up to 1 and 15"

Most of Donaghy's claims just don't stand up to scrutiny.
Obvious charge where wade just threw his body into harris

In 2006, the NBA finals absolutely, positively, without question was NOT going to be a REPEAT of the pistons/Spurs matchup. The refs unfortunately decided who would play in the finals and ultimately who would win the finals.
I did not watch the finals that year because I felt that it was rigged from the beginning. This was the first finals that I didn't watch in 43 years.
The entire BSPN crew kept whining to everybody about please not another snooze fest like 2005. Not one of them mentioned how great a series 2005 was from two evenly matched defensive minded, team oriented not media made teams.(Games 5-7 are classics for true basketball fans)
The refs main objective esp. (bavetta and j. crawford) was to ensure that there would be no Spurs. I can't really blame them for that; they were just bowing down to the powers that be ABC(Stern). The NBA is star driven and $ driven.
To answer the question.....yes the mavs were technically "robbed", but so were real basketball fans. IMO if games 3 and 4 were officiated fairly in the mavs/spurs series, then the mavs wouldn't have been there in the first place.

BOTH THOSE FOULS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST QUARTER
Two games I've watched where I was positive they were rigged
Game 6 of Lakers/Kings WCF, for the Lakers obv.
Game 4 of the Heat/Mavs NBA finals, for the Heat obv. Was just disgusting to watch.
I also think Game 2 of the Lakers/C's finals in 08 was embarassing, but as a Lakers fan, I don't really feel like I should ever complain about the refs, plus the C's completely destroyed LA in the closing game. So whatever.
My perception is that Wade went off in the series, and then the Mavs choked.
and i perceive you as a dumbass. just watch the videos, they're for those of you who are slow or didn't watch the series. the kind of plays in the video happened ALL series long. Watch the 3rd one I posted as Marquis is literally running away and still gets called for the foul without touching Wade
Ok. I'll look into it, and watch some youtubes.
