Round 1: Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors

You don't have a problem with guys getting FTs off of light brushes because they happened to have a defender jump in the air (more than half the time the player is vertical anyway--when by rule it isn't a foul) but do have a problem with a guard who is penetraiting getting FTs because the opponents bump him and can't keep their hands off him.

Wade isn't the only driver to get lots of calls. AI gets them. Lebron gets them. Agent 0 gets them. Kobe gets them. Jordan used to. They are quick players who attack the basket a lot and mostly deserve the calls they get. Further, Wade didn't get exhuberant calls versus Detroit, and isn't getting them versus Chicago now. Again the most logical conclusion is the Mavs played chippier and were held accountable for it .

Dirk is a great player, but nobody gets more calls on little to no contact plays. 81% of Dirks shots are jumpshots (fact, 82games) that is more than Wade, 62%; AI, 71%; Melo, 57%; Lebron, 66%, Kobe 77%; Arenas, 75%. Dirks % of freebies of his total points and interior shots taken are way, way, at the upper end of the charts--Dirk is in no position to question star treatment period.

 

Dont think anyone said the pumpfake fouls were not fouls. Think he was using it as an example, but it was a poor one. Dirk gets more fouls called on less contact than anyone not named D-Wade.

I use D-Wade's performances this season as example for the no-contact fouls being called. Mavs were playing pretty rough in the finals.

 

Watch out for increased flopping, b****ing, and moaning by Dirk as the series goes on.

I already saw the flop-meter spike couple of times in game 2.

Most Vaginal Player will live up to his reputation.

 

That's pretty good.

 

Has Mark Cuban replied to anyone's Email?

 

This series almost gets me as excited as our own. Go Warriors!

 

damn, if the heat didn't start fouling at the 3 minute mark we wouldn't miss the opening.

Go warrior!!!!!

 

looks like a college crowd with those yellow shirts. it's loud in there. should be an exciting game. i'm hoping bdiddy goes off on these mav b!tches!

Now that is what a call a playoff crowd. They are easily the loudest crowd thus far and its only the first quarter lol. Gotta love the atmosphere.

 

Why the heck do teams not wear the same color as the crow ?

That's wack.

Man, the warriors are just a bunch of REALLY GOOD CHUCKERS...
