Are they looking for excuses in Dallas?

Is it time for the Mavericks go have a biospy and a good rectal exam because the Mavericks can't get it up & down the court anyomore?

Are they looking for excuses in Dallas? Some of the message boards ESPN NBA (Dallas), (Oklahoma City) have fans complaining about the officiating in favor of the THUNDER?

There were bad calls and no-calls both ways. It is the way the game is.

Listened to Dallas sports radio the day of the game. They felt like the Mavs were going to get beat and thought very highly of the Thunder.

Got to admit that the refs did have some no calls on both ends especially with the elbows Dirty Dirk were throwing at Serge Ibaka.

It's nice to know that there are some level headed sports radio shows in Dallas who recognize that the Mavs just got beat! Good find, cjohonson.405.

I think its stupid when the NBA fines a player for criticizing the refs. Even if I do hate the Mavs.

They can criticize the refs, just not in a public forum. They have channels to do so that don't envolve fines. The same thing holds true in other professional sports. College sports have rules against the same thing. I think it's a good way to go.
