[Conspiracy Theory] Cuban's complaint about last game is still sitting on NBA desk. League tells the official to make some calls in Mavs favor this game. Cuban does not complain about bad officiating in his favor from last nights game. Instead, Rockets send NBA tapes of bad officiating from last nights game. Cuban inquires about initial petition. Leagues sends Cuban Morey's tapes and tells him to STFU. Cuban goes home and cries on Dirk's shoulders. They make out.[/Conspiracy Theory]

Battier got hot, got T, got hot about the T, then immediately calmed down and smiled.

The calming down part is actually kind of creepy. Shane Battier reminds me of Dexter Morgan.

LOL there are bodies split into pieces with his name on them somewhere!

Isn't this only his second tech ever?

I have to disagree there. I think Bullard is way overboard on the homerism, especially when it comes to the officials. Drexler is a little more level-headed, in my view. However, I think Bull adds much quite a bit more insight to the game than Clyde does.

I don't disagree.
LOL Clyde was straight out calling the refs terrible and when he did it at the end of the game, Worrell looked down and when he looked back up and changed the subject to Clyde's scarf.

Even tho the mavericks are a Texas team I have grown to dislike them more then Utah.In no other circumstances have I seen a team take on the characteristics of its owner more then the mavericks.

yup Mavs are the most hated team.. I hated the Malone Jazz the most.. The Jazz in recent years are okay.. I still hate them but not with the same passion. Now that Dirty Ass Harping is gone its a bit better. Deron Williams is a great player and would love to him on the Rockets. As for the Mavs I wouldnt want a single one of their dirty flopping cheating players

the refs have such a hard job. They blew so many calls in the last minute, it was really embarrassing and I am sure they are going to be pained to see the replays.

But it was a tough situation. The two calls that went against Battier - the block that was called a foul - that was a tough call, because it looked as if they collided - they didn't. But on the first view it looked like it did.

Also the push. It's hard to pick up a push when Battier is running to save the ball. Had Battier stopped and then gotten pushed - it would be easier, but since he's moving, it's much harder to pick up until you see the replay. I think the refs messed both of these up.

Seems like the aaron brooks call was a make-up for the jason terry missed call.

All in all - they mucked up there at the end, but I also can see how tough it is to make those calls in fast motion. They have a split second to make the call. Often times, they will be wrong. Hopefully often means 1 in 10. In the last minute, seems like the blew about 5 in 10 calls / non-calls.

I think you have a pretty good take on it. Some tough calls. The Terry hit on the head was a bad miss and the Brooks hack was probably a make up call. I also think it is harder to officiate this Rockets team because of the playing style than the old stand around Rockets. I think the T on Battier was wrong though.

Really? Bullard is definitely more of a homer than Clyde, but I wouldn't say he goes way overboard as compared to commentators for other teams and sports. I think he's at least fair when it comes to flopping and block/charge calls. Clyde is a lot more objective, but he just about drives me crazy every game, especially when he can't pronounce "Budinger". Either way, I'm pretty pleased with our crew.

Sorry, if the calls were in the last minute of the third, maybe yes, you're right on, but the history of non-calls late in games is is well, historic.

I thought they had that talk in another previous game? I'm sure this is something Aaron has already heard over and over...he's just choosing not to change what he does in the last few seconds of a game. He's not gonna get that call...hasn't all season.

On a side note, if Trevor was giving any other recommendation besides the previous...I hope Aaron doesn't listen. :grin: j/k of course...

As much as I hate Ariza, this did not look intense at all. Not like the last time

He was probably just telling him to keep his composure. Brooks is not going to get that call in that situation. You're good Brooks, but you ain't that damn good. Don't let the season so far go to your head.

Brooks did get fouled on that drive late in the game. But to be fair, so did Jason Terry on the play before that when he drove and got murdered. Just calling it like I saw it.

Listen guys, compared to the guys here in Dallas and the crap they were saying the other night, we have it real good. Even when the rox get away with a call, our guys will have laugh at it or make some smart comment to at least acknowledge that yeah, we got one. And as far as Bull and Clyde, I would take bull over "clubbing baby seals" any day of the week. LOL

What about Clyde's comment about how "Carl Landry just GORILLA-ed the ball"? I am suprised Clyde didn't pull a Billy Packer on Aaron Brooks, you know: "Look at that little monkey go!"

ariza was probably just telling brooks to calm down cause he looked pissed off after that foul. they didn't want another technical. Ariza is pretty experienced and pretty good defender. once we get a good 2 or 3, he will be a great compliment player. We might not like him takin 3's but once a star 2 or 3 comes along; we will be glad we have Ariza.

y'all ar emissing the fact that dallas didnt get a call as well...this wasnt about giving a game to the mavs, but more about the refs swalloing their whistles or calling the game as basic as they could downt he stretch so there would be no complaints on either side, basically "let them play". The problem with that is the team who gets fouled more gets the short end of it, this time we happen to be that team, but it could have been dallas. Point is the consistentcy in the officiating is pathetic.

That didn't look intense at all. It looked like Ariza was explaining something to Aaron, he was already mad aobut the no call...

Well let's see......

They called a BS call on Battier on a clean block + 2 points to the Mavs side.

They missed a push on Dirk on Battier, and got a technical out of it for the Mavs + 1 for the T, +2 for the ball.

They missed a foul on Jason Terry + 2 for the Rockets.

They missed a foul on Dirk on AB + 2 for the Mavs.

The final tally?

Refs for Mavs + 7
Refs for Rox +2

I think we got screwed, and lucky to have won.
