IMO it is justified to blame the Jazz losses on refs (see: Kirilenko's flop, Okur's hacking of Yao, Bobby Jackson's waved off 3 pointer, etc...). But when you blame the Mavericks series as well, we just come off as whiners. We lost a game by 40 points... there was more than refs involved, there. I don't mean to criticize you, just making a comment.
I loved the Sura era, but I also loved last years team. Yeah we didnt advance, but those 22 wins in a row is a once in a lifetime memory. Something about that 04-05 team was nice though. They had some killer swagger to them. Barry/Sura was awesome to watch.
Well Mavericks series wasn't exactly officiated well at all. I'm sure many of us remember this: http://www9.clutchfans.com/game.cfm?gameID=2766
