I haven't watched the Mavericks much this year except for a few games during the season, their first round, and this series with the Spurs. I'll be the first to admit he's a great player, but it seems as if if anyone even blows air on him it's a foul. Is it a year-round thing?

Stop whining. All the major stars get calls their way, especially on their home court. It is a fact of life in the NBA. I don't like it, but that's the way the NBA runs. Happens with Tim Duncan, Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, etc...

By the way a few years ago when Dirk was a relative unknown, he couldn't buy a foul call to save his life. Happens to all stars when they are starting out, too.

All stars get preferable calls. Case in point, LeBron's travel during teh final seconds of that playoff game.
