The fu nniest thing that has happened at a mavs game has to be.........
Only in a Golden State-Dallas game can you have one of the boneheadest
plays ever topped by an even more boneheaded play. When I saw it live, I
was completely confused as to what had just happened (they never showed a
replay in the arena). I knew that something _very_ wrong had just
happened, but my brain couldn't accept what it was. My confusion greatly
increased when Golden State inbounded the ball and headed the other way
down the court. A few minutes into the 4th quarter, Robert Pack and Terry
Cummings had a jump ball at the Mavs' end of the court. Chris Mills got
the ball and went for the layup, but Samaki Walker came over and blocked
the ball and the refs called a foul on Walker. Of course, Mills was
shooting at the Mavs' basket. The refs huddled to figure out how to
handle the call. P.J. Carlesimo wanted it to be a shooting foul, but gave
up that argument when the ref responded with okay, but Mills had to shoot
at the Mavs' basket. It ended up being a non-shooting foul with Golden
State inbounding the ball on the side. Mills was able to laugh about it
after the game and Walker wouldn't talk to the media about it. Walker got
razzed by his teammates when he returned to the bench at the next timeout.
The irony of the whole thing was that Dallas lost by 1 point.
