"Yea, the refs sure played great in games 3 and 4, the teamwork, and just the heart they showed out there, I mean, I was getting choked up"
That's true
Not necessarily!
Someone's looking for credibility
Fill in the blank/Other
What first crosses your mind when you hear people say "well..the better team won" in the Mavs/Spurs series?
"Yea, the refs sure played great in games 3 and 4, the teamwork, and just the heart they showed out there, I mean, I was getting choked up"
That the better team won?
Poll is posted. Ex. something about refs would be "Other"
Spurs got the majority of calls this series. What did you get 3x times the number of calls that we did in Game 7. The better team won.
It could have gotten either way.
you may wanna edit your sig, manu put us up 104-101.
Team = players + coach, right?
The Spurs made too many mistakes, Manu's "Repeat Killer Foul" being the marquee up, and played too little defense.
If the Spurs deserved to win the 05 le for winning the 4th qtr of 05 Finals Game7, then the Mavs deserve the "better team" for the 06 WC semis.
Gag me with a fork
By the way, "Not necessarily!" isn't tied to any excuses (i.e Stern, refs, etc.)
What does being the better team mean if you can't beat them in a seven game series?
Isn't playing the games the best (and only) way of determining which team is better?
Is that your first reaction? If so, that would be either "That's true" or "Other"
I voted that's true, even though it was pretty painful to do so.
I would agree.
the spurs is the best team for me!
There were a lot of bad calls throughout the series but with the game tied 3-3 it's tabula rasa. Going into game 7: San Antonio had homecourt, the mental edge, experience, momentum, and the refs on their side and still lost. They were beaten by a better team.
Spurs had a great chance to win game seven but it didn't work out. You really can't complain about the refs. Bavetta and Javie more than made up for some of their bs early in the series in game seven.
If the guys come out with more energy, they win. Who knows?
But yeah, the Mavs have a better team this season.
For some reason, I feel better today. I am very excited to see how Pop improves this team.
GO SPURS GO!

I don't know why. This is a nightmare all day long.
SolidD it was so close of a series that I don't feel like a better team won. All in all take a look how many luck you needed to win a game. One possesion one mistake, one whistle damn.
And you want to erase the too missed chances to win games 4 and 7.
That's frustrating and that devestating
The better team in game seven maybe, but not the better team overall. Very even, if they played again, I would take my chances with the Spurs. Mavericks are on a roll right now playing at their highest level. Duncan is playing at a high level, but the rest of the Spurs are at about 50% what they are capable of....Finley, Ginobli, maybe 80%.
The games were so close most of the time, it is hard to say who was the better team. I think Dallas may have wanted it more. They won with three of their guys fouled out in the 7th game. That is will to win!! But, this series could have gone either way for the most part.
its absolutely ridiculous to think the better team won. i am fed up with that. if the refs don't take cubans payooffs then this is a spurs sweep. the reffing in gamme 7 was teh worst i've ever seen. i have never seen such a weak foul called at teh end of a game than the won on ginobili on dirknazi. if you look at the replay you can tell teh refs are ready to blow there whistles as soon as dirk starts to drive. like they were gonna blow it no matter what. it was a fix!!!
the better team lost, and if daniel stern had any balls he would force a game 8 to decide the series for real.
wow...just wow...it's great to be a homer but that's just kind of ridiculous...I can see why you would have a problem with the officiating in games 3 and 4(Mavs did get the calls during crunch time) but the Spurs didn't come to play in game 2 and no amount of officiating is going to change that. Games 5,6,7 were all tight and I would think that most Spurs fans were at least satisfied with the way the games were called. Dirk and Duncan both got superstar calls all series long. On the 3 point play in game 7, if Ginobilli admits he made a dumb foul on Nowitzki how can you really argue it? At the very least, you're going to have to admit the Mavs were better than you thought.
And Daniel Stern probably couldn't do much...though he was great as grown up Kevin Arnold's voice on the Wonder Years.
no no you got it all wrong the refs didnt play great in games 3 and 4, they were just 'clutch'
