Sweet!!
Next Thursday, the league will announce that Duncan was set and outside of the restricted area and that Nowitzki should have been called for a charge in that same game.
Hadn't seen this posted anywhere before. No, it doesn't mean the Spurs would have won Game 4, but it's still interesting.

This league gets more stupid by the day.
Man, why? WHY? I ing hate the NBA.
Yay.
Set-up.
I hope this sad joke gives the Spurs a chip on their shoulder next year.
Wonderful. That makes me feel so much better.
you, David Stern.
They should announce that the Mavericks are disqualified and starting Tuesday the Spurs and Suns will begin a Best of 5 Western Conference Final.
you Stern.
Realistically that won't happen, so the League should call a bunch of in Phoenix's favor to stop the Mavs from advancing. This seriously pisses me off, if they're going to reverse that technical, reverse the outcome of the game as well.
If the Mavericks win the le this year, it gets a big ing star next to it.
I hope Phoenix scores 140 and kills Dallas.
Phoenix should be +50 in FTM for every game throughout the rest of the series.
It happens. Bad calls happen. Even with what is now admittedly a bogus technical, the Spurs had a chance to win that game. They didn't. It's frustrating, but it happens. Build from it and move on.
How is that remotely fair? The only reason this was disclosed is because technicals have an automatic fine that's associated with them, so rescinding the technical is a fair way of not fining the player. There would be dozens of fouls called and not called during the series, going both ways, that would be rescinded or reassessed if personal fouls had a similar fine attached to them, so to act like this was the only bad call that affected the game (or the series) is silly.
It's a shame that some in this thread don't realize how ridiculous they sound.
Feel free to leave this SPURS forum if it distresses you. One point was huge in 6 of 7 games, Mavtrash.It's a shame that some in this thread don't realize how ridiculous they sound.
Cry me a river.....whining becomes you.
Yeah, they sound like Mav fans the last four seasons.
ba-zing!
But today they are whiny biotches.
What's so whiny about pointing out a technical FT (one point) would have made all the difference in the world in a game that was tied at the end of regulation and won by the Mavs in OT?
Don't tell me you're that stupid.
It was the bogus delay of game call that screwed the Spurs.
Do you think that the Spurs may have benefitted from any bad calls in that game as well? Some of you ing people act like the Spurs have never ing benefitted from bad calls! Christ, the Spurs have probably benifitted from more bad calls in the past 3 years than any other team in the NBA, so ing get over it already! You lost! Game over!
Don't tell me that you are so stupid that you do not realize that many of these morons are only whining like little girls because they lost. Please don't tell me that you are so stupid that you can't see this is yet another lame excuse. I am very impressed by the majority of posters here who understand the game and refuse to make lame excuses. I guess that will not include you.
I don't think that lamenting what might have happened had the call been made correctly is necessarily whining. It gets cast that way as a simplistic way of dismissing posts, but it's something different, IMO. It's legitimate to say that the call was harmful to the Spurs -- it gave the Mavericks a chance to score an extra point in a series that was decided by a microscopic margin -- and the Spurs ended up losing the game in OT.
Would it have made a difference in the run of the game if Bavetta had actually paid attention to that play and not simply reacted to Dirk's flop? Maybe. Can Spurs fans be somewhat upset that our team's season could have turned on a call that the NBA has acknowledged was wrong? I think so. Does thinking that diminish what the Mavericks did in beating the Spurs? I don't think so.
