3. Dirk was mugged off the ball and on the drive at least 12 times today with no call. His first two misses he was clearly fouled on. He should have had 14 ft's easily.
So, yes, the differential is distressing...although I guess not shocking, as I expected as much, just not to such a degree.

You make valid points regarding the officiating, but there's no use being shocked by it. The Nuggets are going to play that way all series long, particularly against Dirk, and when Danny Crawford's calling the game you shouldn't expect most of those calls to go Dirk's way. I'm not complaining about the officiating -- that's just a fact.
