Eff this game. Eff being mavs fan. It's too frustrating.

The Mavs set the NBA playoffs standard of how to blow it in the playoffs on a year to year basis.

Same Mavs result, different year. It's become laughable.

where does this choke job rank with the rest?

Home court is no joke in this series.

Wow, **** you, NBA. Phantom offensive call on Dirk, out on Chandler... NBA is a joke.

Yep, so sad to watch. They are like women playing with dildos. Glad I choose to watch other sports. Mavs will always be cursed.

I had a feeling just watching gamecast they would f it up. This is just line Miami. Get a lead and cannot finish.

SMH @ Mavs fans. Takes a little bit more than this to blow a 23 point lead.

In as big a mavs homer as anyone, but refs don't blow 23 point leads.

All I can do is laugh now. The series is over. The Mavs are already the least-resilient team ever. No way they recover from this.

any cuban reaction pics? pls post

Who said that the refs alone blew that lead? All I pointed out was 2 awful calls late that helped swing the game. Yeah, the Mavs blew a 23 point lead. That excuses two horrible calls? And David Stern wonders why the NBA is going to lose $300 million this year.

Donaghey is right. Stern has it out for Cuban. Did you hear his comments. We all wanted to bash Canseco but he told the truth about the whole steriod plan. Now I believe Donaghey that the refs and stern have issues with Cuban.

The butthurt is strong with Aggies2009.

There you go! Completely dodge the point and humiliate yourself further with a "you mad" post.

Care to dig yourself any deeper?

A Donaghy reference? LULZ. Only game four and Mavs fans are already in full meltdown mode. Comedy.

Other refs have said they've been told to call certain games certain ways. Again, the NBA will lose somewhere in the vicinity of $300 million this year, and there's a reason that's happening. It's a joke, Stern needs to go. This has nothing to do with this game, either. I only saw 2 bad calls late in this one... But the NBA as a whole is a joke. I've heard fans of every team say it, and ESPN radio show hosts say it.

I don't give a hoot either about the mavs. Just pointing out weird facts like they are 3-16 when that one ref is handling the game in playoffs.

the worst thing about this choke job is that the mavs will shoot 1000 free throws in game 5, it's already been fixed

Tyson's "out of bounds". Tyson's "foul" on the loose ball. Jason Kidd "knocking it out of bounds". Dirk's "offensive foul".

Wow.

While I'd like that, it'd just further show that the NBA is a joke.

Not a mavs fan my friend......try something else. Do you see I live close to Sac Kings?

So the solution for Carlisle failing to find a way to stop a washed-up Brandon Roy is to get rid of David Ster? This train wreck of a thread is almost enough to derail the fact that it's Saturday night. I'll check in for game five to see if the depression levels have subsided. Until then, ladies.

What part of "This has nothing to do with this game" could you not comprehend, dumbass? LOL If you can't read and comprehend simple statements and only make idiotic posts filled with idiotic statements, just end yourself.

one of the biggest mavs fans. cant defend this. this ranks worse than any of the other collapses.

chalk the other ones to inexperience, mid season trades, roster churn, whatever.


this is unacceptable. Anaheim mavs anyone?

I'll preface this by saying that watching the Mavs trip over their own dicks over the years has desensitized me to the point where I simply don't care, BUT rewatch the foul on Chandler with about 6:45 left in the game...it is beyond laughable and makes you wonder. Not blaming the game on that of course (Mavs could **** up a wetdream), but holy phauck what a joke of a call.

Watch the one on Dirk on his layup. The defender's feet are gliding across the court like he's in his socks.

This league is a joke, everyone knows it. Stern is a corrupt piece of **** who only seems to be worshiped by Spurs fans until they lose to the Lakers and they can say, "Oh, Stern just wants Kobe in the finals"

That out of bounds call was bull**** though.

Along with the phantom offensive foul on Dirk. That was an AND1 without a doubt.

See, that's the thing. I'm not excusing the Mavs blowing a 23-point lead. It's bad, and they deserved to lose.

But that doesn't mean the NBA needs to make it happen. Those calls were beyond ridiculous. They actually reviewed one of them as well, making it even MORE suspicious.

While there were terrible calls, we lost this one on our own merit.

It will be third behind the Mavs losing to GS and the spurs losing to Memphis this year.

When you blow a huge lead, there is plenty of blame to go around. Coaching, players, etc. Still don't understand why you don't foul Blazers with 20 seconds to go...

But nobody is going to talk about Blazer comeback or Maverick meltdown. Every water cooler conversation tomorrow will be about the officiating.

I thought they called an okay game for most of it. They blew lots of calls, but no team got much of advantage. The exception was Chandler. He was getting clobbered without calls. And he was dinged for three touch fouls. Two of which, he didn't even touch the guy.

The Blazers could have been hit for a couple of technicals early. Home cooking call that isn't unexpected.

I think the 4 point play to tie things was awful. Sticking your leg two feet out to kick a guy doesn't equate to defensive foul. I don't think that's a anti-Mavs call. It's just typical of the lousy NBA officials. And it was ticky-tack in that situation. Never in a million years would they have given Peja a 4pt opportunity in similar situation.

The calls on Dirk and Chandler late were dubious calls. Once the Blazers had a chance, the fix was in. Simple as that.

But the out of bounds call was egregious. If Stern was legitimate, none of those officials would ref anymore this season. And he probably should have investigation into bribery. It was one of the most blatant examples of official who is trying to fix the game.

One ref had perfect position, maybe 6 feet from the action. He immediately called "mavs ball" without hesitation. Original ref didn't not ask for help. The ref from outside the 3pt line and on other side of court, decides that other official got it wrong. Keep in mind, from his angle he can only see backsides of players involved.

Inside of 1 minute, so you go to replay. That's fair, get the call right. Nobody can say that any of the replays were clear. Forget about conclusive evidence to overturn things. If you put a gun to my head, I would say that Wallace was last to touch it. It looked like his hand was on ball longer than Chandler, by about 1-2 inches.

99.9% people said the same thing. "There are six hands there. I can barely tell which is which. And I certainly can't tell which one touched it last, I'd lean towards Wallace. But it doesn't matter. There is no evidence to overturn the original call. Mavericks keep the ball."

What an absolute joke. NBA ought to be embarrassed to put out crap like that year after year.

Mav fans whining about refs.

I was watching with a Rockets fan and a Lakers fan who also agreed that those calls were the worst they'd seen in a long time.

Go away.
