Barkley is completely biased. He's a spurs fan.
I'm sorry I read in a thread that "BARKLEY called out the refs", I don't know when this was or if that was a joke. I didn't see the postgame show after the Mavs' game 4 victory; Can someone tell me what Charles said? I mean even if he didn't say a thing about the refs, I'm interested in knowing what he said.
I wouldn't blame him if he threw the towel on the Spurs of course.
I haven't.
Barkley is completely biased. He's a spurs fan.
He basically said the NBA must look into the ref situation as they have made some horrible calls at the end of this game, and the playoffs as a whole.
I guess if you missed that you also missed Ernie Johnson showing a highlight of Bowen looking at and telling Stern in the crowd "that was terrible" after the call on him when guarding Dirk at the end.
I guess you also missed the reporters interviewing Bowen after the game and asking him about that foul. He said that guys should be shooting in such big games and not be getting sent to the line.
I guess you also missed Duncan not answering any questions in the post game confernece and leaving in about 45 secs.!
He said The NBA refs suck.
They made calls tonight that were atrocious, and I just saw the replay of him saying it and he was disgusted.
He said Bowen didn't foul Dirk as well.
He said Stu and Stern need to address it.
He is?
The guy who closed the Hemisfair? The guy who lives in Scottsdale?
He's a Spurs fan?
Hopefully his truthful rant brings as much attention as if a Spurs player went off.
Maybe the guys on ATH or PTI will address this as well.
Barkley like phsyical basketball and can't stand the pussification of the league. He always says No Foul. Doesn't mean much.
Just because Barkley has maintained the Spurs are a better team doesn't make him a Spurs fan. Mav fans' Barkley accusations are puerile and hyprocritical. Just because I thought that the German soccer team was better than the United States' in the '02 World Cup didn't mean that I was a fan of Germany...actually, I really don't like Germany that much for some odd reason, hmmm.
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. I don't blame the Mavs, they were given a chance and they took it; but come on, you mean to tell me that no matter how biased a fan you are, you didn't see our point about any of the calls that have (as many of us think) costed us 2 games?
I didn't think Barkley would say anything about the refs, but I'm glad he's got our back...
Spurs in 7
if the legends and top players of the game come out and say something that is wrong with the league, stern should also take it serious instead of pushin it under the rug, when definitely there has been sumthing wrong with the officiating in games. heck the ppl watchin the games can also see it. the integrity of the game could be very negative just like the juventus happenin atm in italy, the soccer club was found bribing and matchfixin or sum .
Bruce looked at Stern and said "This is terrible"
Charles said Bruce was right. The officiating was terrible.
Tim seriously did that??? how was that? did he sit down and just stare at everyone, get up, and leave? or how?I guess you also missed Duncan not answering any questions in the post game confernece and leaving in about 45 secs.!
man if he did that I'm glad. He got fouled so much today and he wasn't getting his 'and-one's'... Tim's the freaking man
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.
I think Spurs fans are just incredibly spoiled. I am not trying to be rude.. that's just the reality. I think the Mavs always got the extreme short end of the stick simply because Nellie was "unconventional". Refs didn't respect the game the Mavs or dirk played. Now they finally do a little bit.. and the Spurs fans like yourself can't comprehend it , so they think the officals are against them. While I do think the Mavs have gotten the benefit of the doubt on a couple plays at the ends of games... i think these are plays the Spurs get all the time.. the odd thing is that the Mavs are now stating to get a couple. But I still think over-all the officiating is incredibly biased towards the Spurs. The refs have kept the Spurs in the series. If you compare the calls Duncan gets on Damp and Diop and then compare that to the way the Spurs are defending Dirk.. it's a total joke. Duncan gets every single call his way. While Dirk gets mugged half the time without a call.
off.
We're spoiled because we do something the Mavs have never done? Win.
Give me a break kid.
Actually, the Suns are his team
Duncan is a 3-time champion, a 2-time NBA MVP...and many other things...but oh well we're not gonna get into this right now..the point was about these particular calls... I mean...they decided the outcomes of the games in crunch time...well we could have not fumbled that pass, Duncan could have made that shot...those shots were harder than 2 free throws for Nowitzki though...
@ McClane...not trying to be rude or anything. Dirk...mugged??? If Dirk had been making those moves into the lane that Tim was and gettting bumped by Dampier on every single shot, Dirk would have had 30 FTs this game. Dirk's idea of getting mugged is a Swedish massage.
Even fans of other teams notice some funny business with the officiating. You'll find posts questioning the officiating even on sites like Lakersground's forum.
Barkley is a loud mouth fool who never won a ring
suddenly you guys wanna start paying attention to what he says, just coz he agrees with you? lol
This is true.
It's not like Charles was reading Spurstalk.
It was the 1st thing he wanted to address when the show started.
Next.
the things is that Spurs fans have to realise its a league wide issue......it doesnt just happen to them.
The Nuggets have had horribly officiated games many times and yet people are quick to call me a whiner coz i make a comment about the refs
All teams get games where they are on the good end of bad calls and also other games where they are on the bad end.
Its a fact in the league that affects all teams and in the end it doesnt matter what is said coz it will never change.
Any time you use humans there are going to be mistakes and unless robots become refs in the near future, its going to be like this for a long time yet
Barkley is a loudmouth yes, but he's not afraid to say what he sees. He's wrong sometimes, Sometimes there's a ring of truth. Barkley doesn't play the politics game like the rest of the T.V. asses who are afraid that their opinion might upset the bigheads. He's a straightshooter and what he says has probably crossed the minds of others who may be too much of a pussy to speak out.
This effects a possible championship!!
But my point is that if the refs gave Dirk respect early on the game wouldn't even be close.. and the refs aren't even that biased towards the Mavs. It's just even. And that is why i think it is weird to you guys.
