FOUL PLAY: Back in the 2006 Finals, Salvatore made so many foul calls benefitting DWade that I assumed the two were dating. Salvatore's crew was again in the Mavs' presence for Game 3 and he and his boys tweeted like canaries: 89 FTs and t61 foul calls and the only time these zebras didn't call a foul was … The one time the Mavs were purposely fouling.

So what happens to the ref in this situation? Suspended? Fired?
NBA is trying to be noble by admitting they $+$$#$ up...but that doesn't help any except make them look like they care. Should they replay the 4th quarter? Replay the last 5 minutes?
When you take a swipe at a guy with 4 seconds left, make contact with him, he gets moved back, and then he goes up for a shot after taking thecontact, what do you want him to do? Foul on the three?Originally Posted by whywesteppin
LOL
I agree there should have been a foul called. But it wasn't. The whistle wasn't blown. If they ain't gonna call a foul, then steal the +%$%!#% ball. Don't sit there like a +@+@@ expecting the whistle to blow. We earned the win. BTW, I think this is the first time a team complains about a foul not being called on themselves. LOL. But it's the Mavs. It's expected.

Unless Antoine Wright can slow down time, which I don't think he can, there's no human alive in the NBA who could have reacted fast enough to make another foul attempt. It's not like he just slapped him with a little David West on Dirk love-tap, full arm swipe and bump into Melo.
No, there probably won't be, but if you miss such a huge call like that, and ADMIT your mistake, you just let it slide?Originally Posted by Kiddin Like Jason
Let's get real; there isn't going to be any kind of "do over."
Also, I said this earlier, it ain't NOTHING against the Nuggets. Props to Melo for going through with that, and taking the shot. Yeah you playuntil the whistle is blown, that's for his own good. I've had nothing but good things to say about yall since you were matched-up with the Hornets, andeven after yall will finish us off, I'll root for yall in not only the WCF but the Finals as well. It's just when we get some momentum going, possiblyget us back to 2-1, and maybe tie things up next game, we get completely demoralized by this wasted effort because of a missed call that is an ordinarytextbook call? Dirk's effort, Josh's valiant battling through injury, big games from Kidd and Bass, all for an L? It's not only demoralizing,it's frustrating. For those of you that watched this game, you KNEW the Mavericks should have won this game because of their effort in the second half.They attacked the basket, they fought inside, they got to the line, they knocked down shots, but it wasn't enough?Originally Posted by whywesteppin

I mean, yeah, you guys got screwed over... Plays to decide the game shouldn't come down to that. Maybe it should be call your own fouls in the last minute.
