@suciochanch Actually it makes complete sense. If the mavs had gone up 3-0 and then followed up by sweeping the series, it wouldn't have gotten much money. Stern is all about his fucking money. (That's why he only allows BIG city teams to win. ex: Miami). The refs handed this series to Wade and the Heat, there is no way to argue it. Even with all this bullshit, the mavs only lost by 1,2,3 points. Plus, did you SEE the final foul in game 3? It was basically, oh mavs up by 1? Here's 2 free throws

@jliu524 Sorry to all for coming across as rude: I just get really fired up when people make claims that the Heat were GIVEN a title. It's not a one-time game full of bad calls. Each team has SEVEN CHANCES to win and the Mavs simply couldn't finish the job. Also, the Mavs won the 1st two games, so what happened? The refs decided to make them lose the next 4? It doesn't really add up... But again, my apologies for any rudeness :)

@bmoreravenfan you could say that but i would say he was the mvp in the finals so he played the best

@ramblinhaze Joe Crawford gave dirk his

fuck dwayne wade that's why he can't win a ring without shaq

Mavs fans stop whining. The refs make plenty of bad calls, and if Wade gets mor of them, it's because he goes hard to the hole.

I've never watched an NBA game, no matter who the players were, where there weren;t a lot fo calls liek this.

@xxplanoxx And that's precisely why I mention how hard a ref's job is. The ref doesn't have the luxury, on this type of call, to go back and check the replay or a different camera angle. Also if he was doubtful he could've conversed with the other refs and if they saw it differently then it could be changed.

@srch4trth I can't see from the ref's eyes, I can only see from the camera angles. And when you look back at it, this should have been a no call.

Are the refs human? Yes. Do they make mistakes? Yes. Was this one of them? In my opinion, yes.

[srch4trth]

@xxplanoxx I made no generalizations. I stated a fact. If a defensive player bites on a pump fake and gets into the air. A smart offensive player will jump into him to draw the foul. I only mentioned Wade for continuity. But statement is true on any level. As for this being a no call or a blocking foul, that depends on the refs position during the play. The baseline ref saw it as a block and made the call.

[xxplanoxx]

@srch4trth You really shouldn't make generalizations about how the game should be called based upon the player who gets sent to the line for falling down (not here, but it happens a LOT). I get what you're saying about drawing the foul and I agree, but that's not what happens here. This is just two guys playing ball. It's not a charge, and it's not a block. Should have been a no call.
