Round 1: Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors

He may have lost it but the refs kicking someone out for clapping....that is unacceptable.

Just turn away......the players have a right to disagree with the call.

DD

 

Dumb Dumb Dumb.

What the hell was Nellie doing??!?!

He should have yelled at Davis and calmed him down!!

 

what are y'all talking about? baron was basically begging them to kick him out of the game and even seemed to relish getting to really go off once they did kick him out.

equating that to duncan's ejection is just ridiculous.

 

baron davis just got duncaned

it looked like a foul from that angle, but I think stackhouse lost the ball before he made contact with davis

 

GSW need to get into the playoff mentality, even after getting T'd up. THey just kept pushin the refs. someone needs to tell em its not da regular season; you can't afford to get ejected. man mark cuban pro havin an orgasm in da stands!

 

Warriors gotta go crazy in 4th.

 

GS players are silly. Taking way too many jumper shots. Just keep pick and role until Dallas switch Dirk on Richardson, and Richardson keep driving to the basket until Dirk gets into foul trouble.

 

when he got ejected all he was doing was smiling and clapping

 

baron was going to keep doing something until they tossed him. he had had it and was just looking to get kicked out. it's not like he was cheering on dallas at the free throw line or something. that was a somewhat easy ejection to see coming.

 

While I normally would agree Baron was doing it for a reaction there was no doubt about it. He was looking at the ref while doing it.

He should not have recieved a tech in the first place though when Diop gets nothing.

 

Visiting Star players being thrown out in Dallas.

Expect it.

BTW. Salvatore is the same dude who missed the obvious Michael Finley out of bounds call.

Salvatore and Cuban must have been high school sweethearts.

 

What started it were the ridiculous technical fouls called on the GSW players. How in the world did Stephen Jackson deserve a technical for attempting to STOP a fight?

 

...never mind his first technical was just Davis trying to keep the peace.

dammit refs and warriors. mavs will capitalize on you guys' stupid mistakes

 

salvatore has to get a suspension, doesnt he?

they need to get rid of techs and ejections from games, besides ejections for obvious **** like fighting. just let the league review bad behavior after the game, and fine the hell out of players.

i've always thought it was so ridiculous that cussing at a referee can give points to the opposing team. doesnt make sense to me.

 

I agree he knew what he was doing... but also, at what point do the refs stop being so damn sensitive.

If a guy curses you out, toss him. If he gets in your face, toss him. But smiling, clapping, etc???? Refs are paid to not be so sensitive... they have to understand that EVERY call they make is going to be disputed by somebody.

Additionally, it was Salvatorre who tossed him out... he was on the other side of the court just watching the clapping.

 

lol Dirk is NEVER in foul trouble.

 

yeah. characterizing duncan's ejection as less warranted and davis' as more is pretty arbitrary. davis is a more emotional player by nature, but the act that got him ejected was clapping. duncan got ejected for laughing. in both cases the ref decided the action was showing up the refs. i dont know how you can say one was less 'showing' than the other. duncan had choice words for crawford as he left the court, davis basically just smiled and clapped as he walked off.

 

the officiating has been dismal as a whole in the playoffs. the refs practically gave the victory to the Bulls in game 1, then this tonight.

and what about offensive fouls??? EVERYTHING is an offensive foul now. if a guy flops, just let him fall. guys can't take it strong straight to the basket anymore, they gotta shy away from the contact because the call will go against them. disgusting

 

Man the refs are giving the Mavs the game. Its disgraceful.

 

EXACTLY !!
