I can tell you that if it had been most teams it NEVER would have come to that. what did you think dallas was going to do?? just wait around? Nah, say what you want about Nowitzki no way you can say what he did is worse than what the spurs did.

I have NEVER blamed nowitski for injuring Webber.
And I already agreed that the Spurs COULD HAVE called a timeout...but that's beyond the point. How can you not agree that it's classless to drive right at an injured player...only to then step on his foot. For all Dirk might have known, Rose could have sprained that ankle.
Cant believe they won..
the power of the free throw line! 49 out of 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow and they played defense in the 4th!
I would love to see NETS vs MAVS in the finals!

Agreed. What were the Mavs supposed to do? Just stand around and let the shot clock run out until the Spurs decided to move the guy??? If anything, I thought there should have been a 3 second defensive violation, he was clearly in the paint for over 3 seconds. And he didn't step on the guy's foot on purpose, geez.
I take that back..
had no idea theyd be able to pull it off tonight the way they were shooting..
Also, that was a FLOP on the part of Rose. he wouldn't have gotten hurt if he hadn't flopped.
also, he it Najara's knee, if the angle had been slightly different it would be najara out for a long time with a dislocated knee.
flops shouldn't be allowed.
Actually that's an interesting point. the officials could have bailed everyone out by calling a 3 second call on rose. and yes he was there for more than 3 seconds.
I think you're all missing the point here. It doesn't matter if he flopped and then got hurt. It doesn't matter if Najera almost got hurt. It doesn't matter that they didn't call a timeout or foul Nowitski. All those things aside, and NBA player SHOULD NOT DRIVE AT AN INJURED MAN AND THEN STEP ON HIM! Please tell me how that is classy
Also, for you Spurs Fans, I SERIOUSLY doubt they'll have this good a shooting night again.
also, look at all the games, the SPURS are clearly a first half team. if you can stay close in the first half, you have a good chance of beating them.

BECAUSE, it was the QUICKEST way to get a stop clock. the Spurs made NO EFFORT TO STOP THE CLOCK.
What do you want them to do, use one of their timeouts?? why should they?? Should they take a bad outside shot??
NO, dirk FORCED them to foul them at the basket.

You know LeeTJ, on a side note, I think it's kinda funny who we're rooting for. Me, a King's fan, is now going for the team who beat the Lakers. You, a Laker's fan, is now going for the team who beat the Kings.
actually, i'm a NETS fan.
i only root for the lakers when the nets aren't playing. also, no one really likes to talk eastern conference ball.
Nets ALL THE WAY baby.
Maybe the Mav's could have actually ran an offensive set. Instead, Dirk just does the probably the most dangerous play. I just don't see how you guys not think that it was classless. Yes, there were other options, but that doesn't negate the fact that Dirk drove right at the man. I mean, it was blatant
The guy was under the hoop. You're saying the Mavs should've been the ones to suffer because the Spurs refused to tend to their fallen? I'm not saying it's a classy thing, but this is a championship game. If your own team isn't going to take care of you, why should the other team do it? At the least the trainer next to him should have dragged him further out of bounds and away from the hoop.

I feel bad saying this, but I'll have to actuall agree with you. I like the Nets in the East. I don't really have any beef with the Pistons, but I just really like the Net's style of ball moreso than Detroit's.
i can see where you'd say that, but NO ONE else, no anouncer, no one on TNT, no one is mentioning that.
if it was soo blatant someone would say something about it. matter of fact the announcers at the time expressed minor disbelief that the spurs weren't fouling. actually their comment was, the spurs can't foul because it would put dallas on the line.
that's a pretty telling line.
nope I disagree with you. Nowitski is not expected to simply stand around and let the shot clock run out. If the spurs are willing to let their own teamate stay on the floor injured thats a sign to Nowitski "game on".

No one said its classy or not classy, but its playoff basketball. If SA was concerned about it they should have called a timeout or fouled. They're lucky someone didn't land on him and break a rib or something, then they'd really look foolish for not stopping the play. Taking a cheap shot at the person would be out of line, but continuing play and taking advantage of the situation is what should be done, especially in a conference finals series.

game 1 winners have won 89% of conference championship series.
i'd say things look good for dallas and NJ.
What does it take before others realize this was a stupid thing to do?
What if he hurt Rose even further? What if he hurt himself doing this? Too many bad things could have happened cause of a classless thing action by Dirk.
Well, let's not take class in to this....it was stupid on both parts because the risks were too high....what kind of team doesn't call a timeout when they have an injured player and the ball? But I'm sure Dirk would have regretted if he hurt himself.
