Somebody enlighten me
I am surprised how the refs play against the Mavs.Is it just because NBA wants a close game to attract audiences and a young future star?Or is it because powerful Jews are against the big German? (I know it's next to impossible)
I feel sick about NBA...

I think its refs being star-struck by popular players. Dirk isn't popular.

I think NBA refs are stupid. They watch a guy bulling into the lane and they contstantly call fouls that they do not actually see..

I must say that's about the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this board.

Nowitzki is clearly a Polish and also likely a Jewish surname. So it's quite possible his ancestors were Jews and he has Jewish blood running threw his veins, whatever that means. BTW, Cuban is definitely a Jew, and I don't think David Stern gives him any extra love for that.
I think NBA conspiracy theories are as useful as end-of-the-world predictions. If the NBA was in the business of manipulating the outcome of games, why didn't they prolong the Mavs-Lakers series? Why did they allow a Nets-Spurs finals back in 2003?

I think someone with the username "beatLA" (very timely!) should wait a little bit longer before deciding to start threads...

I love following NBA and playing basketball myself.So I don't like conspiracy and I don't want to believe that.Since you convinced me the sport is quite clean,I'm happy.So I do mean that.Not mention the information about Cuban and "Nowitzki".I mean that.
Guess my Chenglish sounds differently.

I think you misunderstood. They are clean with the Jews, but I'm not so sure about the Chinese.

Trust me. They are very, very powerful. More powerful than you could read about. And not just now and then, but always.
Very powerful.

This is no worse the Lakers fan who came on here during the Lakers series who knew nothing of history. That moron compared Dirk to Hitler.

These are big, fast guys. Cutting all over the place, playing a very fast game. The refs arent perfect. I think its a much tougher job than any of us can imagine, having to make split second calls like they do. You can't think about it, you have to make these calls on the spot in a game that moves as fast as it does.

Of course they aren't perfect, they just happen to be blatantly in the favor of OKC. I am just praying that we have balanced officiating the rest of this series - that would be a huge boost for Dallas...
