Barkley called out the refs?

[belac2006]

Wow, way to do a hack job on Stein's article. You left out the part about the fact that bad calls went both ways...shall I post it for you? He never once mentioned bad calls favoring the Mavs.

HERE IT IS, the relevant part:

The Spurs actually started far sharper Monday night than they did in Saturday's 104-103 disappointment. They rediscovered Tony Parker, who finally shook off his twin thigh bruises to go back at Harris and register a slump-busting 33 points, his career playoff high. They even seemed poised to survive Manu Ginobili's sixth foul with 2:28 to play and a string of questionable whistles that enraged both teams at various points. Yet when Duncan couldn't convert with a jump hook over Dampier at the regulation buzzer, you could sense that the Spurs -- increasingly looking more creaky than experienced -- wouldn't be able to keep up for five more minutes.

OH YES, YOU FORGOT THIS PART FROM THE SECTION IN WHICH YOU TOOK THE ABOVE EXCERPT:

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."

BTW, Cuban was at the game as a fan, he was speaking to the media, he was probably yelling about calls like most fans do at the game. Kinda like when the Spurs went all puerile and started screaming "Javie sucks"

Hey ponky, I was responding to Shanks BS quote about Mark Cuban not crying about the officiating when in fact he has......is this news to you?
I mean Mark Cuban has NEVER EVER complained about officiating ,RIGHT??!!??!! Dumb-ass, by the way.............

Your Mav-chics R losing tomorrow.

[Shank]

The Mavs have been whining about the refs for years. Spurs fans question Nowitzki getting 50 FTs over 3 games and they're the whiners? Please. Mavs fan doesn't even know their own team if they think the complaints of Spurs fans are somehow beyond the pale.

It's not just the whining. Every team and every player has whined.

It's the idea that a large number of Spurs fans seem to think these guys are the 2006 version of the Black Sox. That the refs are somehow paid off. That the league is rigged in Dallas' favor. It's sheer insanity and frankly, quite pathetic. After any of Dallas' 3 wins, have you seen anyone saying "Good game, Dallas. You beat us where it mattered". No. It's been refs, refs, refs since the last whistle blew in Game 2. It is making the entire Spurs fanbase look bad - and not just on this board.

[belac2006]

I believe you were already called out on this, Nancy. Marc Stein made one ing note about this in over 2 weeks of playoff play. You really think Cuban was the only one yelling at Stern during Monday night's game?

You and all your pussy Spurs friends HONESTLY ING BELIEVE THAT THE GAMES ARE BEING RIGGED IN THE MAVS FAVOR? THAT'S HOW YOU THINK, YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF ? Take a step back and look at yourself for the sniveling, sucking piece of dog you really are. Pull your ing head out of your ass.

Thats it, is that all you've got??? If you're gonna bring it then bring it you bas SOB...talk to me about Basketball...dont talk to me about how you spend your days ....

p.s. by the way, you guys R losing tomorrow....fruitcake

[SequSpur]

The Spurs are losing because of small ball (s).

STFU already.

[Trainwreck2100]

Little OT, next time you quote us on Mavtalk, please vget it right. I can't believe you put the we want Bennete Salvatore.

this needs to be said`

Talk to you about basketball? Talk to some guy that use "R" in place of the oh-so-difficult-to-type "are" about the game of basketball? Why would I want to do that? Are you going to teach me something? Wouldn't your time be better spent updating your Myspace or waiting for your balls to drop?

Don't go grammar police, you're better than that.

actually, someone on this board (the SA chick with brown bikini) REALLY wanted salvatore to be reffing the game the other night...she said so twice before the game

[ponky]

Um...you still don't play D. We shot 54% last night and the refs didn't bail us out with FTs every time we missed. Our big three got into the lane with zero problems all night. You let Ginobili score 26 in 27 mins, and he can't even jump this year. You let an injured Tony Parker get 33 and an injured Duncan get 28 or whatever it was. You're still _ALLAS.

Maybe you should go tell that to the Pistons coach, the Rockets coach and Magic Johnson who have all given us props for defense this season.

SA10's a dude and he keeps bringing him up becuase he's a firm believer of the screwjob, and BS is to us what DC is to you. No Spurs fan here wants Salvatore including him. Like I said if you're going to quote us get the facts straight.

But I digress. You're the genius here. Please - educate me.

Hey pendejo.......

Can you say it properly????

Oh, so it was a typo. Not a misspelling.

Thanks for the tip. Still, check out your ellipses. They're entirely out of control.

I guess you can go back to sucking your father's now.

This thread has been invaded by the

Poor fool, you must be having flashbacks of your very own miserable life. Freaks like you make these threads a lot of fun.
You do sound extremely experienced in that department though!
Best wishes on the rest of you and your Daddy's life.

I don't like to generalize and put all Spurs fans in the same boat, there are a lot of cool posters on here. I didn't quote anyone but I see your point, I didn't know BS was to the Spurs what DC is to us. I wonder who will ref tomorrow night.

That makes no sense whatsoever. You can't repeat someone's dig as your own retort. It's weak and makes you look bad. Try again.

Back to cereal talk with Trainwreck. Did you ever have the Nerds cereal back in the late 80s? They took the candy idea and split the box vertically - with strawberry on one side, grape on the other. Those and Mr. T's cereal were pretty solid. But Mr. T's were really nothing more than Cap N' Crunch in T-shapes.

You call that a dig?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
lololololololololololol
Typical Mavs fan, your idea of a "dig" just now had nothing to do with
basketball. Talk to me about hoops boy not your favorite cereal pussy.

So no one has the video?

Only little high school girls use 'lol'.

I've gone back and read all of your 21 scintillating posts on this board. Not once have you actually talked about the game itself. So, I'll pose this to you - why would the Spurs want to sacrifice size for speed when they obviously can't match the athleticism of Dallas? That being - the "smallball" lineup of 4 guards and Duncan we've seen Pop use. Clearly, if the Mavs are insistent on attacking the paint, why wouldn't the Spurs plug in a big body to prevent this? It is Pop being stubborn or a lack of faith in San Antonio's 5-spot?

And do you feel he'll use the same starting lineup in Game 5? Or has Manu found his game again and earned a spot at the beginning of the game, rather than off the bench?

[Spurs Dynasty]

I had to wait almost 24 hours to post this as i was still fuming a bout the Bowen call. Now i want post a blue streak and get banned.

NOW is anyone confused about the refeering!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

To all you asswipes from other teams (not the welcome non-trolls) why do you show up now to taunt us and look right at the big elephant and say it is not an elephant?

I am still hoping for a series win, but man it is tough playing the stripes too.

[Islymore]

It's not just the whining. Every team and every player has whined.

No. It's been refs, refs, refs since the last whistle blew in Game 2. It is making the entire Spurs fanbase look bad - and not just on this board.

Actually Pop has said a few nice things. He said some things in post game about the Mavs playing well, etc. But that was after game 2 I think.

I am a Mavs fan and I not once have denied that the Mavs have been getting some pretty lame calls in their favor... But that should not be the game winner. True the free throws tieing the game, made me a lil nervous as well as kinda let down. I thot they didnt try to call fouls in the last few seconds of a game and I didnt see any foul to call. But that doesnt mean I wasnt happy that it was called. I think its unfair that fans so easily talk about fouls and refs and never mention once about the calls their own team got that were questionable but we in favor of their team. Just like the Spurs got calls, we got calls, both teams have had calls in their favor in this series. So I accept that the last game was not the Mavs to win. But it was pushed into overtime and in OT when it could have went back to the Spurs, they didnt produce and that 5 mins could have been the game. Even if the refs are handing one team the game since that conspiracy seems so real to soo many ppl, the Spurs have always been a team to overcome obstacles. This is one more obstacle in their way, I look forward to them overcoming it. Tonight's game is gonna be a beast, probably questionable calls both ways like every game this series... I accept that the Mavs have had some in their favor, just like I accept that the Spurs have too.

(And for whoever quoted me regarding TDs postgame, I just gave a summary. There was nothing blown out of proportion. He answered two questions which I said. He did get up in a huff, you heard him stomp down the stairs. I didnt say that there were no more questions - but based on his behavior - I wasnt shocked that the reporters didnt have anymore questions to ask him, he was obviously angry. That was my whole point. Nothing blown outta proportion there.)
