Conspiracy Continues; Mavs Win Again
99-85 and it wasn’t even that close. Garbage time began in the 3rd period after the Mavs rolled out to a 28 point lead. They attacked in waves.
The referee conspirators meanwhile called 27 fouls on the Mavericks and only 23 on the Heat. And the Mavericks had 18 fouls called on their starters compared to 12 from the Heat. Of course, the Heat starters sat most of the second half, so I guess its hard to conspire against a team when they lay an egg.
Shaq was held to 5 points on 5 shots after scoring 2 points on the very first play. There is no conspiracy here, the Mavericks just are a deep team that plays team defense. And oh by the way, the offense isn’t too bad either.
If the Mavericks go on to win, will we have to asterisk the championship in order to appease those who still cling to the conspiracy theory? I personally don’t think so. If they win the championship, it looks like it will be earned to me.
