Sorry I am tied up with a 4 day show or I would watch the video and count myself. How many fouls were called on the Rockets and how many on the mavs during this run? Obviously the Rockets shot during this stretch and missed - but just wondering how the mavs could go this whole stretch playing hard defense and not foul? Of course the whole stretch began with Yao being fouled by dirk, losing his 2 pt score and not getting a foul shot. And also I recognize that comments have already been made that the Rockets including Tmac stopped going to the hole because they were being hammered but not getting any calls.
Here is the 5 m 48 sec 20-0 run which lasted from 8:46 to 2:58 of the 4th quarter: (8:46) [DAL 82-88] Finley Layup Shot: Made (15 PTS) Assist: Terry (4 AST) (8:23) [HOU] James Jump Shot: Missed (8:20) [HOU] Padgett Rebound (Off:1 Def:1) (8:14) [DAL] Nowitzki Foul: Personal (3 PF) (8:14) Timeout: Official (8:14) [DAL] Howard Substitution replaced by Dampier (8:03) [HOU] Barry Layup Shot: Missed (8:02) [HOU] Ming Tip Shot: Missed (8:02) [HOU] Ming Rebound (Off:3 Def:4) (8:00) [DAL] Stackhouse Rebound (Off:2 Def:3) (7:44) [DAL] Nowitzki Jump Shot: Missed (7:43) [HOU] McGrady Rebound (Off:1 Def:7) (7:32) [HOU] Padgett Jump Shot: Missed (7:31) [DAL] Finley Rebound (Off:0 Def:1) (7:28) [DAL 84-88] Nowitzki Dunk Shot: Made (26 PTS) Assist: Finley (3 AST) (7:07) [DAL] Dampier Foul: Shooting (4 PF) (7:07) [HOU] McGrady Free Throw 1 of 2 missed (7:07) [HOU] Team Rebound (7:07) [HOU] Padgett Substitution replaced by Wesley (7:07) [HOU] McGrady Free Throw 2 of 2 missed (7:07) [DAL] Nowitzki Rebound (Off:0 Def:6) (6:48) [DAL 87-88] Finley Jump Shot: Made (18 PTS) Assist: Nowitzki (3 AST) (6:16) [HOU] McGrady Turnover: Backcourt Turnover (5 TO) (6:16) [HOU] James Substitution replaced by Sura (6:00) [HOU] Sura Foul: Shooting (2 PF) (6:00) [DAL 88-88] Terry Free Throw 1 of 2 (9 PTS) (6:00) [HOU] Team Timeout: Regular (6:00) [DAL 89-88] Terry Free Throw 2 of 2 (10 PTS) (5:38) [HOU] Ming Turnaround Jump: Missed (5:36) [DAL] Finley Rebound (Off:0 Def:2) (5:22) [DAL] Nowitzki Driving Layup: Missed (5:21) [DAL 91-88] Dampier Follow Up Dunk: Made (4 PTS) (5:21) [DAL] Dampier Rebound (Off:4 Def:1) (4:55) [HOU] McGrady Driving Layup: Missed (4:53) [DAL] Dampier Rebound (Off:4 Def:2) (4:40) [HOU] Barry Foul: Shooting (3 PF) (4:40) [DAL 92-88] Stackhouse Free Throw 1 of 2 (16 PTS) (4:40) [DAL] Stackhouse Free Throw 2 of 2 missed (4:40) [HOU] Ming Rebound (Off:3 Def:5) (4:20) [HOU] Wesley Jump Shot: Missed (4:18) [DAL] Finley Rebound (Off:0 Def:3) (3:57) [DAL 95-88] Terry Jump Shot: Made (13 PTS) (3:55) [HOU] Team Timeout: Regular (3:55) [HOU] Barry Substitution replaced by James (3:47) [DAL] Finley Foul: Personal (1 PF) (3:47) [DAL] Dampier Substitution replaced by Howard (3:45) [DAL] Nowitzki Foul: Personal (4 PF) (3:39) [HOU] McGrady Jump Shot: Missed (3:37) [DAL] Terry Rebound (Off:0 Def:5) (3:22) [DAL 97-88] Howard Layup Shot: Made (4 PTS) (3:22) [HOU] Ming Foul: Shooting (5 PF) (3:22) [DAL 98-88] Howard Free Throw 1 of 1 (5 PTS) (3:10) [HOU] Ming Turnover: Lost Ball Out of Bounds (4 TO) (2:58) [DAL 100-88] Howard Jump Shot: Made (7 PTS)
Did I count that wrong? Does that read 4 MAVS fouls to 3 Rocket fouls? Those damn refs are conspiring.
I imagine it would seem like a discrepancy when all three Rockets fouls result in free throws and only one of the Mav's fouls does.
It's so obvious that the league has instructed the refs to favor the mavs. David Stern LOVES Mark Cuban, or didn't you know?
Wow a mavs fan posting after a few wins... Where were you when it was 2-0? I don't hear the 'Dirk MVP' chest beating anymore, oh well I guess we'll see you if you win or you'll crawl back to the internet stinkhole known as dallas-mavs.com if you don't.
Riiiight. He's been sitting around looking at clutchfans.net since 2002...I was talking about posting times, genius.
