You act like Dallas didn't get away with anything... come on. The refs called a pretty good game tonight with the exception of a couple calls on each end. They let the teams play.

On another note, I was just in awe of Jerry's performance. I have always liked the guy, but tonight he was making some incredible shots. He is definitely a guy I would want on my team.

Good game.

Sure Dallas got away with a few things here and there. But Detroit got away with everything. Keep in mind I am NOT blaming the refs for the loss tonight(turnovers and allowing way too many offensive boards killed the Mavs, as well as playing without 3 of their top 8 players).

Seeing how the Dallas bench really stepped up, it makes the excuses seem pretty silly. Why are you so defensive of the Mavs? It isn't like you play for them. You cannot blame injuries on the loss. You have no idea how those guys would have performed tonight. You are simply guessing how it could have turned out. A reality that can never be tested. Just have fun rooting for your team.

Ben Wallace came back in the game and it inspired the team. Dirk was getting ready to explode in the fourth until Ben came back. That was a great game imo. I enjoyed every minute of it. Dallas still has a bit of room to improve but I think we will do so. Great game and good game to the Pistons.

Refs make mistakes. All people make mistakes. Its human. You can't expect the 3 refs to see every thing thats going on on the floor, its impossible. The Pistons get away with some things. The Mavs get away with some things. Every team gets away with something. As often as we want to complain on the refs, you have to remember that the tone of the game is started in the first few minutes, the team that is more agressive, is going to get the calls thier way. Once the other team becomes more agressive, their going to call fouls. Thats just the way life works. Its not always fair, but thats something you have to deal with.

Good point Jet, we often overlook refs.

Eh, I wasn't expecting to win and glad it was only 7. What were our strongpoints / low points

Jet · 03-28-2006, 09:02 PM

Idk, I only listened to the last 13 seconds which were'nt exactly exciting, but I would have to say one of the good things that happened tonight was that they only lost by 7 without Josh Howard, Devin Harris and Adrian Griffin. I look at that as a positive because they account for about 25 ppg.

Mavs Maniac · 03-28-2006, 09:06 PM

..and of course those 3 are probably our 3 best perimeter defenders, and in a night where Chauncey Billups scores 31 --- we need all the help we can get out there

man cmon dude. there's no way u can really say that the mavs missing 3 of their top 7 guys didn't make a difference in this game. I'm not mad at this loss at all. If anything it proves to me that when healthy the mavs can beat the pistons. we've pretty much owned this team over the last 3 or 4 years anyways. Mavs have always given the pistons fits. beating the mavs with 2 starters out and their backup supersub pg who usually plays in the fourth quarter down the stretch really aint impressive to me.

How many conference finals/finals have dallas been in the last 3 or 4 years? Oh wait..

Just the once, which is equal third among all teams in the league, better than 21 other teams

I totally disagree with this. The pistons are the second best team and the team most likely to knock off the spurs. They have PROVEN it the last 2 years and their record is damn good this year. I'm not saying the mavs can't win a championship but they gotta have a lot of things go right for that to happen. Getting Harris and Howard back will be key to our hopes.
