DallasNews: Mavs mad at the refs

[xmas1997]

Geeez, all I've been reading lately are either Mavs whining, or Suns whining, with an occasional sprinkling of how great the Kakers think they are.
I have no doubt they will be whining soon too.
But who are the bigger whiners, the Mavs, or the Suns?
There should be a national poll on this!

I'm over the refs but I'm not going to stop whining until Avery is fired. I know Stackhouse will feel bad though. Tough .

The Mavs only whine to the media when they lose. The Suns only whine after every whistle if it's against them or on every offensive play if the ball doesn't go in the basket and there's no whistle.

He must have. The no-call foul a few plays earlier was Howard, not Terry. I think Kidd heard whatever Bowen said because he wasn't too happy with Bowen either. The only elbow might have been from Damon when he tried to draw that charge.

Yeah Kidd turned around and said something to Bowen. I don't really care though, I'm glad Bowen said something to him, he's a prick to everyone on the team. Plus he lost his temper and it turned the whole game around. God I love Bowen.

Yep. You wouldn't have heard a peep out of them had they won

I know the Spurs whine on court, but I'm really glad no one in the organization or on the team publicly whines to the media. It sounds really pathetic.

I think we Spurs fans understand the fine art of flopping (re Manu, Tony, and the wiliest of them all, Big Shot Bob), but in that last game I think Nowitzki almost turned it into a cheap craft. It's ugly when a 6 footer fakes a fall after going up untouched. But give him credit. It got him to the line (almost more than the entire Spurs team put together), and it's all part of the game.

It's no surprise to hear Cuban whining. Zebras can't take off their stripes. At least his employees, Avery and Dirk, have the class and brains enough to know that the NBA game is all ebbs and flows, which includes calls going for and against you. I'm so glad we don't have to hear about Pop or any of the Spurs brass ever moaning after every bad game, even when the officiating is questionable. Haven't these guys gotten it yet? Virtually every champion of the past twenty years has gotten there by playing better, not crying harder.
