Did the refs help dallas win game 2

I didn't see much of the game I was working but did the refs give a helping hand to the mavs so that this years great white mvp would not go down 2-0 to a team they haven't beaten all year

I wouldnt go as far as saying the refs cheated but there were so questionable ejections with Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson. Dallas would have beaten them last night anyway. But it wouldnt have been because of the play of "Jerk".

i'd say NO.

coach johnson went back to his original starting lineup, but did SIT dirk nowitzki much of the early minutes.

as for the ejections, baron davis' ejection was excessive, IMO, while stephen jackson's was not. to make it worse, stephen jackson would not leave the court AND cursed out the official the entire way out.

at the time baron davis was ejected, i think the momentum had already swung dallas' way, and dallas was leading by either 9 or 10 closing Q3. prior to baron davis' ejection there was a ridiculous double tech too.

i think what we witnessed last night was an emotional team unable to cope with the dallas mavericks when push came to shove. momentum had swung, but the warriors were not out of the game by any means. they still had then entire Q4 to mount a come back. but because of the way the calls were going against them, their youth showed in the way they responded.
