striker said:Ahhh, a shot of a depressed Mark Cuban at the end of the game. Now I'll have sweet dreams.
mavsman said:You know I should correct my previous post: the officials weren't all that bad until the last 3 minutes of this game. No fouls called when they clobbered Dirk on one of his monster 21 rebounds, a mysterious offensive foul call on Devin Harris with 3 minutes to go, and just 3 attempted FTs or something ridiculous like that in the 2nd half.
It's like they knew the NBA wanted a 7th game...unbelievable.
And yes I'm whining!

there are three kinds of fans. the first thinks officials only have a hand in their team losing, but never in winning. the second thinks the officials had a big hand in their team losing, but sometimes just a little bit in their team winning, which the other team should have just played through like their team always does. the third type thinks like the first or second, but realizes in the end that they are as much a homer as everybody else so they shut up.mavsman said:Rough loss tonight. It's what happens you have a corrupt commissioner. He has had it in for mark cuban since 2001, nothings changed. I'm not even talking about the suspension - hell Terry deserved it.
I'm talking about the officiating. Win or lose, I've never blamed the officials this postseason. Yes they've been bad but they didn't intentionally blow calls...
until tonight. That was the most blatant display of favoritism for the Spurs I have ever seen. In any case, hats off to the Spurs they've played a great game - not their fault the refs dictated this game, they did their jobs like champions do.
Believe it or not I still have hope for game 7 based on the 2 pt loss, 22 pt win, 1 pt loss. Obviously playing on the road in San Antonio isn't going to be a problem - and with our 2nd best player on the team back, you just never know...
first of all, jason terry is the only person for that punch being thrown. secondly, you have no idea how stu jackson came reviewing the tape and making his decision. thirdly, mavs fans were booing finley in games 3 and 4, before terry pulled that cheap shot on finley.mavsman said:one more thing:
You all want to know why we boo Finley. I'll tell you why - b/c he's the one who singlehandedly called Stu Jackson and sent in those tapes regarding the punch. No one made a big deal out of it when the play happened - even the TV cameras missed it. Finley sent in the tapes and that really angered a lot of us Mavs fans.
what you've got is a whole team from top to bottom, along with a whole city who collectively whined, bitched, and cried "foul" - and the NBA listened.
THAT'S why I think there was blatant favoritism last night. We couldn't get any calls on our home floor....

mavsman is the first type.
Tell me your take on the officiating in games 3 and 4 and also which calls in game 6 do you think were so unjust?mavsman said:all you have to do is look at any of other threads when the Mavs lost to know that I don't believe that the officials only have a hand in my team losing. In fact even when we lost game 5 - I PRAISED the officials. I thought that was the best officiating all series!
do a little research - then you can accuse me of being a certain type of fan. If I were going to review me? I'd say I'm someone who wants games to be played on an even terms. Last night was the 1st time I've really complained.

VF21 said:You really buy into that? Good grief. The idea that YOU - a Mavericks fan - are whining about a whoe city who collectively whined, bitched and cried "foul" is arguably the most ludicrous and yet ironic comment I've ever seen posted by a Mavericks fan on a message board anywhere.
Despite what Mark Cuban might be blathering, you're still arguing about Jason Terry being caught. You're not saying he didn't do it. You're protesting because he got caught. Hello? He punched Michael Finley. He DESERVED to be suspended.
If you don't have enough faith in your team to believe they can win WITHOUT having to resort to cheap shots, shame on you. Your owner is making a fool of himself and apparently it's spreading to the fans.
Show some pride in your team instead of defending what was clearly indefensible. If your team cannot stand to lose one player for one game, then they clearly AREN'T the better team.
And for a whole town to suddenly decide to blame the victim instead of the perpetrator of this whole incident is beyond ludicrous. Michael Finley did a lot for your team. He was rewarded by being pretty much kicked out.
The officials didn't cost you the game last night. The San Antonio Spurs outplayed you when it mattered the most. I recognize it. They did it to us.
