    You mean like the one where Stern and the entire NBA are against the Spurs so they're intentionally having the refs call the games ONLY in the favor of the Mavs? Like that theory?

    That's interesting. I haven't heard that theory anywhere.

    Kenny Smith agreed 100% with Charles' comments, and said the same thing about the poor officiating, just did not say "the refs sucked"

    We can attack it just fine. Whether or not you guys want to listen is a different story.

    Yea, you can sit here all day and say "oh bubub that foul shouldn't be called" but if Diop had slapped Duncans arm on his final shot and made him lose control of the ball you'd be whining about there being no call. Slapping someone on the arm and making them lose control of the ball = a foul. I learned this in ing elementary school P.E. basketball
    But Bowen didn't slap Dirk on the arm, and I don't think it's too hard to see he didn't make him lose control of the ball.

    My only problem with all of this...

    The refs had bad officiating in every game this series... On both ends of the courts, against/for both teams. Nobody can say any different. At the end of all the bad officiating, the Spurs have always been known to prevail. Balls just didnt fall right the last two games. All it took was two shots. Horrys and Duncans and the series could easily be 3-1 in favor of the Spurs.

    All the talk about the refs... is getting the fans nowhere. The conspiracy theories.. equate to nothing but bitter fans. There's always a conspiracy in the midst of a great series. And that is what this is.

    None of the Spur fans will admit when they had obviously crappy calls in their favor, just like the Mav fans wont. But all of us know this game is being called unfairly 80% of the time. It all boils down to who wants the win despite the refs being against them.

    I will give you this game - I was at it and a lot wasnt what it seemed, but in comparing it to the other 3 games, officiating has been ty all the way thru this series. And nobody really complains about it unless their team is on the bad end of the stick.

    Doesnt that ever get boring? Dont ppl get tired of using the same argument time after time? So the Spurs are down 2 games, I know Im not thinking the Mavs have a free walk to the Conf Finals and I dont think REAL Mavs fans are. All it takes is a win for the Spurs to be right back in the door. It's up to the Mavs to figure out a way to take the Spurs or the Spurs to kick the Mavs off this pedestal ppl have put them on suddenly. One win is all it takes.

    Sorry to rant.

    Duncan was asked 2 questions in the post game. The first answer he gave pretty quickly, rambled "One play either way, one call either way, whatever it may be, it came down to that..." But his demeanor was anger. There was another question asked about fouls and he simply said "No." Exited in a huff, end of interview. Max it was less than a minute.

    (And how can Mav fans not know who Olajuwon is --- in response to an earlier post... Im sayin' any fan of bball would.)

    Watch the replay!!!! He did not slap him on the arm....numbnuts.

    Damn, Dallas fans are really stupid pieces of . First they boo a player like Finley who was a huge part of raising the team from 10 straight 20-30 win seasons. Now they can not even admit that the Mavs totally did not deserve to win that game last night because the refs gave them the game, plain as day.

    Pathetic. Who the f*ck cheers a guy who can rain 3s on you and win the game for the opposing team? I will cheer Finley when we raise his number to the rafters, not during a heated playoff game. Spurs fans are really pathetic right now just because they're losing. Let's not blame it on the problems with the team/coaching tactics, let's blame it on the refs, that's easier. You don't deserve ...except for maybe another loss. Oh yeah, keep up the whining, I'm reading it out loud to my Mavs friends right now, it's good entertainment.

    I would like to have seen that - I missed it. But TD is famous for hating to talk to the press and I've seen him many times (like Pop) act like he's pissed at the world or bored silly. I imagine last night it was just more than he could handle.

    I don't blame him. It was more than I could handle, too.

    It's not often that NBA commissioner David Stern hears criticism of his referees during a playoff game.

    But it happened Monday night.

    From both teams.

    Stern occupied a mid-court seat just behind the floor-level press section for Game 4 in Dallas.

    That made him easy to spot for Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who shouted his displeasure in Stern's direction during a run of questionable whistles in the third quarter. Stern did not appear to acknowledge the complaints.

    Something similar happened late in the fourth quarter, when San Antonio's Bruce Bowen was called for a foul on Dirk Nowitzki with 8.5 seconds left in regulation and the Mavericks trailing by two.

    As Nowitzki set about sinking his two game-tying free throws, an incredulous Bowen faced Stern's section and could be heard shouting: "This is terrible."

    The Spurs were fuming coming in after the call that fouled out Tim Duncan in Game 3. Their frustration only rose after a ragged Game 4 in which Manu Ginobili fouled out, prompting Charles Barkley to blast the refs on San Antonio's behalf from the TNT set.

    Stern's seat, incidentally, was in a section typically reserved for Eva Longoria when the Spurs are at American Airlines Center.

    Tony Parker's girlfriend was moved to higher-up seats on the opposite side of the floor to accomodate Stern and new NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver.

    Let's not blow that out of proportion. Tim sat down and was asked two questions. One was about how he felt about the fact that the Spurs had lost two close games in Dallas. The other was whether he was upset about free-throw shooting down the stretch. He answered both questions. Is he supposed to expound for several minutes to discuss the philosophical underpinnings of basketball that brought the writers to ask those questions? He answered the questions.

    Should he have made up a statement and offered that up? That would be fairly unique for a player to do in that cir stance. Coaches do it, but most players don't -- and particularly not players on the losing team.

    Should he have provoked more questions? Would that have made you happy?

    He then waited on the podium until someone asked if there were any other questions. He left when there were none. He was upset -- his team had lost another close game and, I'm sure, felt as though it had gotten the short end of a long stick that has often been used by reigning champions to beat them in the past. It's understandable that he was disappointed and when nobody had any other questions for him, it's understandable that he would choose to get out of that room and get on his way home.

    It's funny to me how I have not heard one Dallas fan say that they indeed have been the beneficiaries of some tough calls against the Spurs.

    Duncan gets every single call his way. While Dirk gets mugged half the time without a call.
    I'm visiting in Dallas this week and even one of the local Dallas sportscastere showed some of the bad calls from the Sat. game against the Spurs and made some sly references as to how Cuban wouldn't be calling the refs names anymore.

    A long time Mav player, Ron Harper also allowed as how the Mavs got some breaks.

    Nevertheless, we've lost a couple of close games and will probably lose the series.
