T-Mac Says Finals was Rigged

[ShoogarBear]

Mavs homer masquerading. Perhaps the Hawks weren't the best choice to increase one's street cred.

Really. And back on MavJerkoff.com or whatever, he's bragging to his boys about how he's schooling us all.

[NBA Junkie]

T-Mac is jealous cuz' he's never gotten any of his teams past the 1st round of the playoffs.

At least KG was able to do it once.

[baseline bum]

Seriously, how can a Mavs fan blame anyone but their own team? They're up 2-0 with a 13 point lead with 6 minutes to go in game 3, and they blew it. That's straight up choking. No amount of homecooking can reverse a series like that. As soon as Wade overcame his flu, series over. Wade spotted you 2 7/8 games, and he still came out on top. It's pretty clear the best team won.

and avery for whatever the he was doing

Conditioned response.

Blah Blah Blah...... ty officiating......Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.......

[waterbottle2000]

it was van horns fault

[TDfan2007]

overrated? the grand total for the series was Spurs - 235, Mavs - 223. Duncan shot 90, Dirk shot 80. The Spurs attempted more free throws in 4 games, one game was even, and two games were in the Mavs favor. To say that there was ANY free throw disparity in that series is a TOTAL FABRICATION!!!



Maybe not in that individual game, but over the course of the entire series, the Spurs got their fair share of calls. they had 2 games in which they attempted 10+ more free throws than Dallas. like i already said, they shot more free throws over the entire series, and their star player got more free throws than Dallas' star player did.

Meanwhile in the Finals, the Heat shot more free throws than the Mavs in 5 out of 6 games, one game by a margin of 24. Over the course of the series, the Heat averaged 34.5 FTA per game while the Mavs got 25.8 FTA per game. That's almost 9 more free throws a game! There's no fabrication there.

and of course Wade shot an average of 16 FT's a game. Dirk averaged 9.



the calls in round 2 were even for both sides (regardless of how butchered the officiating job was). the numbers even suggest that the SPURS had the advantage.

the calls in the Finals were ridiculously slanted in the Heat's favor. there's no statistic that can deny that.

and there is no conspiracy, but I do think that Mavs fans have a legitimate reason to about the officiating in the Finals, while Spurs fans have zero reason whatsoever to about lopsided officiating in Round 2.

I would hope that Tim shoots more FT's than Dirk. Tim is a post up forward who attacks the basket, while Dirk is a jumpshooting forward who got a call seemingly every time he decided to attack.

As a whole the Mavs are a very jumpshot prone team while the Spurs and Heat are attacking teams which is why they get the calls.

Oh, and one more thing. There's a reason why the Heat shot more FT's than the Mavs... BECAUSE THE MAVS FOUL SHAQ ALMOST EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES THE BALL AND THE HEAT's STAR PLAYER ATTACKS THE BASKET LIKE A MADMAN!

you're in' right i am. and they're all laughing at you over the internets.

And your hopes were fulfilled, as Timmy "I've Never Commited A Foul & Never Missed A Shot In My Life Without Getting Fouled, And My Bug Eyes And Upturned Palms Prove It" Duncan did indeed shoot more free throws than the European pussy.

[Obstructed_View]

Is this a record for most times a Mavs homer got owned in a single thread?

[LEONARD]

Any Mavs fan that blames the refs is a f'ing MORON...

It's funny that T-Mac said that and I'm curious to see if he gets fined, but who cares...

someone got owned? where?

[jacobdrj]

Actualy, Mavs Fans can blame the refs... in the Finals. But before, yeah, Mavs got the benifit of the calls.

I've read alot of stuff you've written and agree that the Mavs-Spurs was equally ty officated for both teams but The Finals was pretty lopsided.

ok, get over it. i've only seen one mav fan complain and his favorite team is the Hawks. the only Mav fans that are complaining are the ones that dont exist. Mavs had a 2-0 lead but the Heat kept fighting, and Mavs relaxed. its their fault.

it was rigged when lakers 3peat, the year pistons won,

If you are calling jumpshots out of the paint shots, actually Mavs are not a jumpshoot prone team anymore. I did some research for someone else and results were interesting! We are more jumpshoot prone than you(65.4% of the time). And, now get this... San Antonio is more jumpshoot prone than Dallas at 60.3% of the time. Dallas comes in with the least amount of jumpshots of the three teams at 58.5% of the time. Seattle is the most jumpshoot prone at about 70%!

Even a spurs fan realizes the officiating was lopsided. All you spurs fans have to say is, mavs suck, we have 3 rings. Do you morons not realize that it could easily be mavs 2 rings, spurs 2 rings? In 2003 i strongly believe the mavericks would have won that series and gone on to win it all had dirk not gone down to an ankle injury. And like this guy says the finals were pretty lopsided. Ya i know the mavericks could have done alot of things differently but all mistakes accounted for, they still would have won if it wasnt for ty officiating in games 3,5, and 6.

Well I'm calling you out now. No way the mavs beat the spurs in 2003 even with Dirk. Malik Rose was a key player for the spurs that year against Dirk. Also Raef got embarrassed by Duncan or whoever guarded him.

[Mavs_man_41]

If you remember we were up 1-0 and when dirk got hurt things went all downhill from there. I think we had a great chance to win, mavs had a ton of confidence after beating sacramento who we always seemed to have trouble with.

[mavsfan1000]

Mavs were down 2-1 and down by like 5 points when Dirk went down. They were about to lose both games at home anyway. They would have to have a great comeback in game 4 and still the spurs had home court.

[Mavs_man_41]

Ya and even with dirk going down we still only lost that game by 7. We went on to win the next game even without dirk. Im pretty sure if we could win without him then we definately could have won with him.

While you're at it, why don't you talk about what if Roy Tarpley had never done coke?
