Jackson Agrees with Cuban Criticizes 2006 Finals Officiating

[quote]Before the Lakers played in Dallas on Saturday night, [b]Jackson said he believes the outspoken owner’s criticism of referees might have cost the Mavericks the 2006 NBA finals against the Miami Heat.
[/b]
[b]“I think he’s toned it down a little bit the last few years. That Miami finals really was a tough one to swallow,” Jackson said. “I think (Dwyane) Wade averaged about 25 foul shots a game. You couldn’t even touch him. That was really tough to swallow [/b]and I think he understood there’s kind of a pecking order in this league and you keep your mouth shut at times.”

“I’ve already gotten fined for that. I’m not going to touch it again,” Cuban said when asked to respond to what Jackson had just said in another room down the hall. [b]“My opinion hasn’t changed on that series, and it never will.”[/b][/quote]

Meh wasn't as bad as 2002 WCF Tim Donaughy Lakers.

So who is this guy? Knoe? Oldschool? Blitz?

That Finals series was a travesty. There should be an asterisk next to it in all the record books. Anyone who thinks that Stern isn't a bitter little piece of sh*t obviously never met the guy. What can you expect, though.

David Stern must really hate Mark Cuban.

Remember when they had senate hearings on steroid abuse in baseball?
They were after Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, ect

I always wondered why the senate committee didn`t go after Stern and Donaughy to get to the bottom of the accusations.

I would have liked this to be totally brought out into the open.

In all, I would rather our senate stay out of sports, but if there is dirty going on, I want to know.

miami's 2006 title is probably the least respected championship in nba history

even less than the shortend season title in 1999 for the spurs

Why he never talked about this tragedy?

Each crying call shown on the video is still called today,, right or wrong.

Especially the 5th on Pollard,, he stepped out to block, feet moving, still a foul today.

nicely done video though,, fades,,, sac players shaking their head, tears,, the whole shaaabang. :lol

By rigging the 2006 Finals Stern sent a loud and clear message to all club owners to not even think about questioning his authority. Simple as that. And of course he hated Cuban's guts.

[B]cause the same crap happend in sacramento... the refs gave the home teams bs calls in that series. and nothings changed since then

every year the home team wins 90% of the time.. why? its not cause the teams just play better because of people cheering... no ... its cause the cheering influinces the calls

so to answer peoples questions. yes that game was gifted to LA... as was the game to the kings in sacramento ... and even in LA in game 6 the kings somehow shot 10 more ft's... so not only were the kings getting home court. they got all the calls in a road game too

notice they dont make a video for game 7... because that was in sacramento and the free throws were actually about even... the lakers just beat them fare and sqaure[/B]

This is Bibby Fouling Kobe. Yep. /Thread.

What's new? Mavs got robbed and stern was in on it the whole time...

old news~

Why couldn't the Kings win a Game 7 at home??

The "fix" would have been irrelevant if they could have just not choked at home the next game.

I remember the Kings missing like 15 freethrows in game 7
but most people like to blame the refs and stern when their teams doesnt win

I have an odd feeling that Cuban and Jackson have a secret best buddies that go to bars during Friday nights.

How many FT's did Wade average that series?I know that in game 5, Dwyane Wade made 21-25 FT, and the Heat won by a point.

Funny how that doesn't show up on NBA.com's finals records, for most FT made huh?

holy ****, shaq shot 39 free throws in a game?!?!?

It did. It was the only time in playoffs history where one player took more FTs than an entire team combined in a single game

He shot 97 freethrows... Thats an NBA finals record for the refs!

[QUOTE=SavageMode]Meh wasn't as bad as 2002 WCF Tim Donaughy Lakers.[/QUOTE]
Nah the 06 finals were terrible. I almost quit basketball.

Mavs had ton of chances to win despite the poor officiating. The travesty in that series was that the mavs were so much better than the heat that despite the screw job they still had a chance to win almost every game. They choked at every turn.

Yeah, well, not anymore.

Powe 13 FTs. Lakers 10 FTs.

Lakers have been screwed at times too. That game was complete BS and I will never forget it.

[QUOTE=Hulk Hogan]He shot 97 freethrows... Thats an NBA finals record for the refs![/QUOTE]

how many per game?

[QUOTE=shadow]Mavs had ton of chances to win despite the poor officiating. The travesty in that series was that the mavs were so much better than the heat that despite the screw job they still had a chance to win almost every game. They choked at every turn.[/QUOTE]

yea...no excuses.

in reality though. i can only imagine how frustrating it must be to know you are the better team and feel like you are getting jobbed on call after call. i mean, at some point, it becomes mentally draining and you are constantly trying to not foul rather than stop a player and team.

the nba really lost itself that season. the inflated numbers are just laughable and it culminated in team basketball dying in front of us with wade going 1 on 5 and the rules being so soft that he could do it and do it well.

i blame the nba for the rules changes back in 05 for what happened in 06. they wanted more perimeter scoring...and they got it. they got exactly what they wanted.

the kings/lakers series was just rigged imo. game 6 was just the worst ever. by far. yea...the kings could have won game 7, but you can't overlook how devastated you are after a loss like that. its hard enough to beat shaq/kobe....having to fight the refs at the same time is a little much.

i have no doubt the nba had a hand in that series....nets vs kings in the finals could have set the game back 5 years in popularity.

if you guys are referring to the lakers-pacers series, shaq took that many free throws because that was a part of indiana's game plan.

****ing lakers....

doesn't bear-hugging usually involve arms wrapped AROUND someone? for someone who's not a lakers fan, you sure stay slurping on kobe's c*ck.

[QUOTE=Batz]Are you trying to prove a point here or something? Honestly can't tell. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

it proves that you haven't watched the series. he wasn't bearhugging him whatsoever.

it also proves that you're a 15 year old child. grow the fukk up.

lol@jackson agreeing on ref mistakes...

God, some of you are petty. :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Hulk Hogan]He shot 97 freethrows... Thats an NBA finals record for the refs![/QUOTE]

kobe shot 97 free throws vs the jazz in the 08 playoffs in a 6 game series too.

quit whining.

[QUOTE=Batz]Are you trying to prove a point here or something? Honestly can't tell. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

every kobe/lakers thread you come in with the same shit. :oldlol:

'im not a fan of either team, in fact i probably like the opposing team more than the lakers...'

:oldlol:

ive never understood this. why hide your bias? you look like a retard doing it, though im sure you wouldnt have any problem doing that even if you did name what team you go for. not hard to guess since you come in defending kobe every thread and go into every lebron thread bashing him. :oldlol:

and his point is that youre a douche.

I didnt see Phil Jackson complaining in '02 WCF and '10 Finals :rolleyes:

Thank you Phil...I know deep down inside that Dirk really has a ring and got his way before the Celtics big 3 got there's, I respect Phil.
