BULL**** - the NBA is turning into a true PUSS league.

Tim Thomas walks right into Terry, Terry moves him out've the way, and it's a double-T? That should be a straight up T on Tim Thomas.
exactly!..i notice that too..tim cant just walk into the other team while they are standing..str8 up bs call from the refs
 
How does Jason Terry get apart of that T? Should be all on that puss Tim Thomas.

Mad because he can't handle a hard foul, he wants to walk right into 4 Mavs. I'd of cheered if Jason Terry speared him in the back of the knees and took him down.
 
That nicked the rim I think. I saw a slight jump to the left by the ball. Really close though.
 
Phoenix fans should be boo'ing that pathetic rebounding.

I am not with ya on this.

Tim Thomas walking through that line of mavs told me something...Tim Thomas wanted to let them know he is a factor and they better pay attention.

Tim Thomas is not Steve Nash, Boris Diaw, or Shawn Marion.

He drew attention to himself and got the Mavs a little rattled for a few seconds...that is a "plus" play. very much like Posey's tackle on Heinrich.
 
that defintally didnt hit the rim. that was a horrible call the suns should have had the ball with 45 instead of 30 and been down two less points(cant remember how much they were down at that point).
 
[mod]Take some time off. One more attack and youre gone for good.[/mod]

So that wasnt a horrible call? The fans shouldnt boo the bad calls? This coming from the guy who has complained about the refs more than anyone else here?
Im not gonna blame the loss on the calls, the Suns got outplayed, but there were some bad calls...

Not this game. The suns have only themselves to blame,.
 
Recap:

As Dallas prepared for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson urged his team to play with the same desperation it showed in a Game 2 victory.


The Mavericks did just that, and now they're two victories away from the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history.

Sparked by a first-half shoving match between Dallas guard Jason Terry and Phoenix forward Tim Thomas, the Mavericks defeated Phoenix 95-88 to take a 2-1 lead Sunday night.

Dirk Nowitzki had 28 points and 17 rebounds for the Mavs, who overcame an 11-point first-half deficit and regained home-court advantage they lost in the series opener. Josh Howard added 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Mavericks.

``We tried to hang in there,'' Johnson said. ``We just battled for 48 minutes. The game is never over against the Suns.

``Teams are so evenly matched at this time of year,'' he said. ``It comes down to will. This team is very resilient.''

Game 4 is Tuesday night in Phoenix.

Phoenix's 88 points are playoff low for the highest-scoring team in the playoffs. The Suns hadn't lost consecutive games since they dropped three in a row to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round. They dropped their second straight game without Raja Bell, who is out with a strained left calf, and dropped to 1-5 with Bell out in the regular season and playoffs.
``We kept battling, but we just didn't get the thing done,'' Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni said. ``We didn't play real smart.''
