Anyone just see Cuban's interview? He's pissed - this is one of those times I don't mind him being brash and outspoken.

I agree with MFF. It looke like AJ wanted a timeout, and after it was called he was walking around with two fingers up like he thought they had two timeouts left.

Well Josh clearly asked for the timeout twice and was walking towards the bench like there would be no free throw.

Off topic here...I've watched the FSN postgame a few times during the playoffs. Darvin Hamm has been pretty dang good. He'd be good with Mark and Ortegal.

the thing that puzzled me was all the hack a shaqing so early in the OT. I guess Avery Johnson was just trying to give himself the option to H A S if they fall behind, but they also have to understand that once they do so, Shaq might be taken out and Wade will get to attack the basket with Dallas under the penalty. That move fired big time as all Dallas could do under the 2 minute mark is to play standup defense with as little contact as possible.

I didn't think the foul was legit at the end, but the FT disparity is not exactly total biase in my honest opinion. I think Wade gets a lot of fouls called, but a lot of the disparity was from the Mav's willingness to foul Shaq every time he gets the ball. As a result, Dallas was over the limit for about 7-8 minutes in the third quarter. When you let people take foul shots, any made (2nd) FT would allow Miami to set up their defense, taking away the fast break game for Dallas. It would also allow Miami to set up and not get silly mismatched fouls. But that's just my two cents. I think Dallas has the deeper team, with or without stackhouse, but mentally, they aren't as prepared as they probably should be.

yeah, not sure what was said out there so we'll never know...but it looked like he called a t.

Edit:
Change that...after listening to and reading the players' comments about the situation, I think they got jobbed. Consensus is that they were telling ref they wanted the TO after the 2nd foul shot.

OK that must have been what AJ was talking about with the two fingers, but Josh was clearly walking across the free throw line towards the bench while signaling for a timeout twice.

WTF? You guys are just figuring this out now? Are you kidding me?

Just read avery's lips - he was saying "AFTER THE SECOND FREE THROW" with his fingers raised, showing a 2.

FreshJive · 06-19-2006, 01:06 AM

I only saw it once, bitch. I only had my memory to go on.

enervate · 06-19-2006, 01:17 AM

Mavs in 7!

kes1357 · 06-19-2006, 01:53 AM

I just saw a photo on ESPN that made me rescind on the final foul call. I thought that was a horrible call, until the picture showed Harris's arm pulling Wade's arm down as he was going up for the shot. However, it shouldn't be Dirk's call =/

Heat will NOT win in Dallas.

Preach it brother, they haven't won in Dallas since......... have they ever won in Dallas? I don't recall it.

EDIT: Their last win @ Dallas: http://www.nba.com/games/20020302/MIADAL/recap.html

Eddie Jones lead all scores with 26 points.

Thanks man. Now everyone just have to vent their anger and frustration out tonight and enjoy Tuesday's game. They'll be in for one hell of a fight.

Perhaps I should repeat my "There's a first time for everything" quote, huh?

It sure worked tonight....Wow.

And as far as the "Timeout goes", I don't believe for a second that Josh realized that Avery wanted the Timeout AFTER the 2nd FT attempt.... I think he saw Avery saying something and then seeing him mouth the words "Timeout" and he misunderstood and made the signal to the ref not once but twice. Remember that it was pretty LOUD in the AAA at that time and I don't think Josh could hear Avery(who has a squeaky-like voice, naturally) telling him THE WHOLE STORY with the Timeout-Situation.

Just my two cents.

Heat are in a GREAT Position right now.....HOWEVER, Mavs aren't exactly finished yet. Getting back to the HomeCrowd in Dallas may re-energize this team and with Stackhouse back, I think he might drop 40+ in Miami's face in Game 6 which I believe will result in a Dallas win....which will set up a CRAZY Game 7.
