going across the arms blatantly....but not as hilarious as the ref who signaled "jump ball" in the air as he celebrated the "block".

Spurs fans...not a peep. The refs bent the mavs over and made this a series.

STFU.

I never say a damn thing about the refs.

So I can tell you to STFU.

How can you tell from over the top if he touched his arm? He got an awful lot of ball, that is certain. Unreal defensive play, stuffing a guy 6 inches taller than he is.

I thought that Bowen block on Dirk was more of a foul than the 'fouls' that sent him to the line to win game 3 and tie game 4.

Yea, of course he will get some hand coming down. But he got 90% ball.

That was a great defensive play and was not a foul.

Why can't you give Bowen credit? That was awesome.

Eh, it was a well played game. I've got no complaints - hope we get the next one!

This has to be a joke. I don't remember Manhatter chiming in on anything else this series.

Maybe the NBA should hire some 14 foot tall refs to make the game as fair as possible.

For all of the "Spurs fans are whiners" comments over the past week, this thread is hilarious.

Please don't tell me you were that stupid. He did have arm and ball at the same time. Hand was on ball, arm was on Dirk's arm. We lost and we move on, but the irony on here from spurs fans is amazing. You guys act like now that the officiating was awesome just because you won.

I have looked at the play several times. Bowen got more that just the ball. Look at it yourself. There is no way that Novitski would have gotten a clean shot off. Bowen got as much arm as ball. That same play is consistently called as a foul in the NBA, no question.

It's a bird.

It's a plane.

NO!!!!

It's sarcasm flying right over Mock1s head.

What I don't get is why Dirk didn't try to release the ball. You know flail his arms up in the air or something. You know he would have gotten the call. (from a mavs fan)

Based on this thread or any Mavs fan up in arms over the no-call on Bowen, I could say the same thing about Mavs fans.

Wow. If you think THAT was a foul, you are truly delusional.

Actually I must say the irony of you making this comment after you completely missed the point of the other poster is even more amazing.

Perhaps if Dirk didn't choke when he had the series in his hands right before the buzzer... you wouldn't by CRYING.

Dirk had the Spurs beat if he catches the BRICK and sticks it in the basket.

He didn't.

Your team lost.

Fn deal with it.

On the first pump fake, Bowen jumped up. Dirk should have jumped into him and drew the easy foul. He does it all the time. There would have been no doubt.

You seem too damn happy for your team to be down 3-2, on the brink of elimination with the toughest game of the entire season for them on Friday.

Yes. I can't wait until Friday. And then Sunday.

adam87, ur the biggest moron on this board. while the refs have blown the whistle a lot, its gone both ways. mavs have just outplayed the spurs thus far and have a 3-2 lead. complaining that the refs have favored the mavs is beyond stupid.

Is it your birthday Sunday? The series will be over.

Show us where Adam said anything about the officiating.

I just went back and watched it frame by frame on the TIVO. I take back what I said earlier.

If anybody can find a spot in that shot where Bowen gets anything but ball until the shot has already been blocked, feel free to post it but I sure didn't see it.

Agreed, Dirk almost got out of his way to avoid Bowen who was out of control in the air.

that was hardly a choke moron. he had no clue how much time was left. if he catches it and puts it in and there was actually less time left, then he's a goat. he was a little off-balanced and rushed the tip back. hardly a choke. especially after the big shots he made.

that being said . . back to the original point of this thread . . i dont care what the replay shows, i thought live it was a heckuva defensive play by bowen and i'm glad as a basketball fan, that no foul was called. bowen made a great defensive play.

That play will be called a jump ball 95% of the time. When a player can't even FAKE a foul because the ball is nailed so tightly to his hands, THAT my friend is a jump ball.

i'm a mavs fan...and that was a clean block. i agree with the jump ball call since his hand tied up the ball, but it was clean, no foul from what i saw.
