ARRGH!!!!

Yao picks up the worst possible foul... being in the wrong place at the wrong time with only 10 seconds left.

It wasn't a bad call... just an unfortunate one.

Yao can't get a rebound when he has good postion on a 6'7 guy, and it's a 4 point turn around in the final 10 seconds.

Can we all say "double standard on loose ball fouls"

Pretty crappy way to end the half.... Yao's 3rd foul, a missed FT leading to a jump ball (which was an awful toss that Stackhouse stole), and a Stackhouse 3.

Nice strong move by Yao on that dunk.

Weak foul call on Yao on the Dallas end. Howard just lost his balance going up for the rebound and coming down with it.

I know it's unrealistic to think they'll call it, but Terry carries the ball on every dribble. EVERY dribble!

Again, bull**** calls lead to a huge swing in the game.

**** these refs, **** the Mavs, **** this game and series.

Was it just me, or was that a horrible jump ball thrown by that ref?

That play with Deke was a micricosm of the series. Sure we got screwed by the officials - agani. However, we're the ones who didn't secure the rebound and who then didn't guard the 3pt line.

**** these refs. First, Stackhouse hacked Deke on the arm before tying him for the jump ball, then Wesley gets hammered while driving to the basket as time is running out.

poor Yao, add another deficiency to his game:

He is TOOOOOO heavy - players bouncing off him

How can any of you say that the third foul on Yao was a bad call? Are you watching the game? It was a CLEAR loose ball foul, if your going to complain about anything, complain about Yao losing a rebound to a 6'7 guy.

I'm fine with being down at the half... but we better start looking better in the 3rd quarter, so we can make a game of this.

We've looked awful... and we actually deserve to be down by more. We've missed wide open shots, made dumb turnovers, and if it wasn't for Mike James, we WOULD be getting blown out.
