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

One more thing, I'm just wondering here OS, where's the hate for Mr. Golden State Warrior for complaining about the refs? Why such a double standard, I guarantee I'm gonna get flamed for talking about the refs in the first half, but no one so much as waves a finger toward GSW for crying and complaining. We all know the refs suck, but why is it only non-Mavs fans are allowed to express it? Is it because Wade got some well-know bs calls last year and we complained and everyone and their grandmothers jumped down our throats so now we can never complain no matter what happens?

Golden State Warrior, I like how you say the team who has 67 regular season wins, 3 less than one of MJ's Bulls team isn't any good because they're soft. Uh, what the hell are you smoking my friend? Soft, bad teams don't win 67 games during the regular and go on three separate double digit winning streaks. Did you precious Golden State team do that? No. And guess what? The Mavericks came back and outscored the Warriors in the 3rd quarter, before your "boys" were ejected from the game, so don't even make the excuse that that made a difference in our pulling away in the 3rd.

5 less wins than Jordan's Bulls. Record of 72-10.

I didn't mean Jordan's best, I meant Jordan's second best.

Still 5 wins short of the best is very, very impressive. Not sure how you can say a team that does that sucks.

I haven't been reading this thread but I hope that the Maverick fans(and Cuban) will stop complaining about the officiating, especially after last night.

He hasn't been doing it for a year. It's one thing to complain about it while the series is going on but some people have made it a point of complaining about Wade and the officiating in last year's finals even though it's well past being done and over with. And people are just sick of seeing Maverick fans complain about officiating all the time.

The officiating was awful last night, the Warriors couldn't even look at a Maverick players without getting called for a foul. For all the complaining about Salvatore he really helped the Mavs out.

well at least the Mavs players were being aggressive taking it to the basket. GSW got the calls in the first half. I know I was pissed in the first half. Bottom line, Baron Davis was having a bad game and he let that get to him.

A. Refs will miss calls during a game. They are human. It isn't easy to see every little thing with two eyes vs a 50 inch plasma in your face. Just know going into a game that your team will have some non-calls. It's the way of the percentages. If you feel your team has been slighted, that's the way it is and until someone comes up with a better solution, this won't change.

B. Like JMood said, complain all you want during the series, but don't drag it on and on for a year. Not all Mavs fans did this, but a few did, and it get's old quick. When Wade injured his shoulder, some Mavs fans called him weak, gutless for taking a wheelchair out of the arena. I don't hear these Mavs fans calling out Wade now for trying to gut it out during the playoffs when he could have just as easily mailed it in and said, I'm done.

That's why you will have an oh, oh, here we go again response if a Mav fan complains about a call not going their way. Again, it's not all Mav fans that post here, either.

We've been complaining about Salvatore for a year and people keep telling Mav fans to shut up and get past it. Now that he screws another team everyone else bitches about him and we go "See he's the worst official in the league" and we still get told to shut up. So my comment to everyone bitching is Shut up and get past it. You guys are a bunch of hypocrites.

Dallas has got to be the most hated sports town in America. JFK assasination wasn't by a Dallasite or a Texan for that matter. I think its because of the Cowboys...

the mavs are good today, but to compare them to one of MJ's 90 Bulls team is crazy. I don't think this Mavs team would survive in the 90s with all the physical players like Rodman, Lambieer, Malone, Okaley, Mason e.t.c. Let's see if they could rip off three double digit win streaks

It's because a lot of the fans of Dallas teams are annoying. From calling Tony Romo the second coming to having the owner and fans of a team complain about one guy and officiating all year long, it gets to be grating. Not all Dallas fans do it but enough of them do to make people hate the teams.

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

back to the game especially since jmood's hornets didn't make it to the playoffs and we have beaten them 20+ games in a row, G State had 24 turnovers with only 9 assist. Another reason they lost that had nothing to do with the refs.
