Upon further review, now I see why the foul call looked so bad. I don't think it would have changed the outcome on the game, but these ref's need to stop assuming fouls occur.

why the hell was Davis rushing Howard after that rebound, when Davis had 5 fouls? Did Davis not know he had 5? Did he think he was going to force a steal? that was stupid

He had to know he had five look at his face after the foul call. He was going for a quick steal. Not that stupid when there was no contact to draw a foul.

btw, its not like Davis got the ball out or anything. Howard turned up court... GS was going to have to foul anyway with 20 seconds left or the Mavs were going to run out the clock

Not all of it, but again im not surprised the warrirors two best players were ousted again in dallas in a loss.


Is it another coincidence?

Yes it is. They lost their compsure. Their COACH said so post game.

Come on bro, you saw the game...Dirk was on 4, Howard on 5 fouls...there was nothing about that game that said bias.

Jackson needs to learn how to control his emotions.

Kenny Smith said it best post game...the Warriors need to learn how to lose with a little class also. You don't see Jackson EVER go on like that when his team wins, yet he does it constantly when they're losing.

Some people wont be able to respond to the truth, but know its refreshing.



Very good game for both teams. Will be even better on Thursday in a game that will mean that much more and GS's fans will be even more rocking than Dallas was. Hopefully we'll have another fantastic finish. Cant wait. Devin Harris was hugggge!

The thing is, why WOULDNT Golden State foul? The shot clock was off, and they were down. They HAD to foul anyway.

Really good game tonight. Kind of hate that I wasn't online at the time cuz there's no way I am gonna go back and read everyone's comments, though I do enjoy them.

Dallas stepped up big, especially Devon Harris. I think he inspired Dirk to lift his own play, and Dirk did, hitting a couple of clutch threes and getting to line for 2 more. Game 6 in Cali is going to be a beast. I think (hope) Dallas will step up again and take it to game 7. The longer this series is alive the better it is for the NBA and it's fan, it's a great one.

i didn't get to see the whole game but you can't foul a guy out with a little ticky tact foul like that come on now

Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***

Dirk came up big down the stretch. Two big threes and a big time block.

Guess he does have some balls after all.

Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***

after seeing the highlights, how do they call that foul on davis but don't call the foul on the j rich three where he was knocked down to the floor, thats the only problem i have with the refs there inconsistent

[SteelersFreak]

Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***

The refs in this game were miserably inconsistent, worse reffed game I've seen in a long, long time.

The thing about this game was you would have guys destroying each other down low, and a guy wold come in and take a small swipe and they'd call a foul.

You had lots of times when officials who could hardly even see the play were running in to make a call.

Overall, the officiating for this series has been horrible, but it was especially bad last night, I was getting frustrated even when the Warriors were getting called for fouls because they were ridiculously inconsistent with the fouls.

However, you can't say the refs had any bias, the Mavs were even in bigger foul trouble than the Warriors, so you can't argue that that was what caused this win.

Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***

Also, Dre, you really have lost all credibility with me.

How you can whine and complain about how the refs screwed the game over is asinine.

What are the Warriors going to do if Howard does get up the court? That's right, they're going to foul anyway. Just because Davis was dumb enough to rush him with 5 fouls in a situation where that foul is almost always called, no matter how much contact there is, tells me he made a dumb*** decision. If Jackson could learn how to control himself during the game he wouldn't get ejected all the time.

This game was horribly reffed all around, but there is no way in hell it swung in the favor of the Mavericks. If you want to whine and complain about "Mavrefs", which were nonexistant last night anyway, at least stop telling Mavericks fans to complain about the refs, that's just being a hypocrite.

Yep, I hate when the refs assume...

We all do, but you can't say that that isn't a call that is commonly made at the end of a game. When a guy rushes someone in a late game situation, no matter how much contact, it's usually a foul.
