That person is obviously an idiot. They think their complaining to a "higher force" will do anything?

 

from the opening call of the game (on Chandler) the calls went Portland's way more then not. From the 2nd quarter on I had the same sorts of doubts that the Blazers would lose (very little) that I had that they would win game 1 because the officiating seemed so tilted in their favor.

Come the end of the series I hope I'm not feeling like the games are being overtly manipulated... that would be great

STOMP

 

Kidd did take FOUR steps on that play though.

 

But it didn't matter cause we won by 5 points. That extra point wasn't going to make a difference.

 

I'm not sure what you're point is magnifier? The Blazers did get homer calls all night long ... a ton of 'em in fact. So far there have been nothing but homer calls in this series.

Which brings me to another point I've had a nagging feeling for awhile that the league has been trying to subtly put a finger on the scale -- so to speak -- in an effort to lengthen series when they can, or more overtly favor one team getting to the later rounds over another. We'll see how it shakes out the rest of the way.

 

Really?!?! They shot 2 more free-throws than we did. Dallas 13-23 and Portland 17-21

 

Exactly, Nik. We got every fucking call all night. It really seemed like league was fixing it for a longer series. I've never seen us get so many calls. There were so many times we fouled them but they called traveling. And they let us get away with anything all night long. Crazy. As for the shot at the end, it's not fair because if it was called a three, there would've been more pressure on Miller and he might've not made both.

I give the game balls to Chris Johnson for his two vicious dunks that would've been called goal tending in Dallas and Free Throw Guy who got Dirk to miss one in the clutch.

Great game. Can't wait for Saturday. I wonder who will be effected the most by the quick turnaround. Does anyone have stats about which team plays better in afternoon games?

 

BINGO!

 

But it was all the times they DIDNT call fouls on us that made a difference.

 

Bullshit! Mavs had plenty of opportunities in the 4th that they could cash in. The game was actually called fair. Game 1 was terrible. Game 2 was fair and so was 3.

 

We definitely got the benefit of the calls tonight. So we can pretty much call it even for the series so far: refs gave Dallas game 1 and definitely helped us in game 3. Game 2 was fairly even. I just hope that if/when this series gets into game 6/7 that they let the players decide the outcome.

 

No mags, we definitely got more calls tonight. It wasn't as atrocious as Dallas' edge in game 1 but we got homer calls tonight. Lord Stern wants more than 4 or 5 games out of this series . . .

 

No dude. It's not all about who shot the most freethrows. They let us get away with a lot. Yes, Dallas still could've won but we had our chances to win in Game 1 too.

 

We got away with a lot, Dallas got away with a lot and there were the phantom calls and a few times they went to the line when they shouldn't have. Game was defiantly called in our favor, not the an insane point but to the point we would always seem to get a call when our lead would slip away in the 4th. If the game had been closer at the end I think the reffing would have gone from in our favor to "omg this is game 1 all over again but for the blazers this time".
We defiantly need to work on our end game, we seem to just throw the ball around way to much and take bad shots late in the clock. Also the throwing the ball around so much leads to a lot of late game turnovers.

 

Does your computer automatically substitute "defiantly" every time you type "definitely"???

 

Amen to that - I said that the other night after game 2.

If this was some other everyday activity then I say maybe cut the little midget some slack. But this is the NBfuckingA where it's a bunch of big, tall, strong dudes. If you're too short, light and weak to defend one on one, that's your bad and the other guys shouldn't be penalized for it.

 

Oh no shiet, you Asian too? Rice (not Mike, but rice as in soy sauce) FTW!

 

Stern has fined Cuban for years, and had his refs slanted against the Mavs. So I was surprised at Game 1's foul imbalance. Tonight was more consistent with the past.

 

I thought the calls Portland got were of set by the 5 or 6 flops the Mavs got away with. Not that it was a well officiated game, but in the end I thought it evened out.
