    I am from Denver and I HATE the Nuggets.

    How the heck do the refs not call a foul on that play? Blatantly obvious.


    And then, you have toolbox Keyon Martin causing problems at the end of the game. He had no reason being upset.

    Let the Mavs show their anger...

    Nancy Lieberman interviewing Chauncey after the game:

    "Did you know that Carmelo would get fouled and continue to play on during that last play?"

    "You only had 6 points in game 2, why did you want to be more aggressive today?"

    Love 'em or hate 'em that was a bad call. Dallas got robbed big time and this is another example of the NBA's finest refs at work through this whole entire playoff. wow

    Why does Dallas keep insisting on going to Dirk in later part of the game?

    This guy absolutely chocked (as usual) when it counted most. Fadeaways after fadeaway with nothing but bricks to show for them.

    How about the irony of the last play?

    Cuban will be arguing that there should have been a foul called commited by his team.

    Big shot by Anthony btw.

    I agree, that was an obvious bump and foul, but if Wright wanted to foul Melo, why the hell did he raise his lands like he didn't foul?? :confused:

    I'm a fan of letting them play. It was a weak foul by Wright and he even raised both hands as if he didn't touch him.

    If Carmelo missed the shot, Dallas wouldn't be protesting so much about the no call. Let them play.

    If you want to foul, hug the other player so he doesn't even get a shot up. Stupid weak foul by Wright, and he also puts his hands up after the bump, but in the way that looks like the contact was unintentional.

    Also, you never stop playing....

    Mavs are gonna get swept for sure now.

    Exactly.

    I would feel bad for the Mavericks, but not only did Wright throw his hands up, BUT THE ENTIRE COACHING STAFF DID TOO.

    Man, Dallas is going to be rioting today, Dirk looked like he had a good game, but didn't do **** in the 4th, Oh well, they're weren't going to win anyway.

    Denver is looking strong.

    Because he wanted the foul before the shot. He wanted to make it clear that he did not foul while Carmelo was taking the three. Otherwise Carmelo gets 3 free throws.

    That was just a bad defensive play by Wright. The Mavs shouldn't be looking to the refs to bail them out in that situation.

    When the whistle didn't blow on the initial attempt to foul (when it should've), he didn't want to get called for it in the act of shooting.

    When the refs shouldn't call a foul, they do. When they should call a foul, they don't. God, the NBA sucks.
