JJ Gets His Ring: MIN @ DAL (7:30, FSN)

[weasel]

I didnt get to watch the game, how did Dwill do as a sf?

In my opinion, it looked like he finally started finding his game again. But for every 'he can do this' moment he also had at least one 'he looks lost' moment. He was aggressive on some drives, and he got WAY up in the air to snair a couple of rebounds. He still has to figure out how to finish at the hoop and shoot freethrows. We don't get to see a lot of guys take it to the rim on this team. Wayne seems to be figuring it out. Williams had some jaw droppingly quick first steps to get past his man, and then would give us a head-slapping moment by not being able to finish. I just think he is thinking too much.

BTW - Ellington made the FT on the and1 that they said he missed....IIRC

All my german friends said, that Minnesota was only able to stay in this game because of the refs... they complained about gettin' no calls.
As an example they mentioned Darko's 7 blocks --> no way all of them could have been without a foul.

And they couldn't possibly have any bias towards to Mavericks, so it must be true.

That's (Please Use More Appropriate Word). "Oh, he had lots of blocks, the refs mustn't have been calling anything."

The exact same reasoning behind the, "The refs gave more calls to the other team; they must be biased." When a team loses, its a fan's natural reaction to blame someone for the loss. It's just more convenient to blame the refs rather than his own team's players.

Haha german fans. I bet they were just basketball fans watching two teams play without caring about either one.

the reason there was a discrepancy in fouls is because dallas was lazy and just took jump shots all day

[teamwillow]

I was thinking Germans was a cold and rational people, but I can see now they are a hot heads bunch as the mediterranean people.

When it comes to complaining and blaming someone else, Germans are the new Mediterraneans.
