Then the very next statement you say that the officials are going back to old school officialting and letting everything go in the lane. The problem is that Shaq and Wade get 85% of their fouls in the lane. Dirk, Terry, and Harris have all gotten creamed in the lane the last 3 games w/o getting hardly any fouls called. Basically, the way I see it is that we have 2 different games being called. It seems to be less about the calibre of player and more about which end of the floor it is called on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-1150756799619453112006-06-19T17:39:00.000-05:002006-06-19T17:39:00.000-05:00If you ever worked for yourself, owned anything yo...If you ever worked for yourself, owned anything yourself (and I don't mean paying a bank for something you think you own), you will understand Cuban's actions.<BR/><BR/>If you don't, then you will call him a crybaby and tell him what to do with his own property.<BR/><BR/>If you don't like it, buy a team and show him how it should be done.<BR/><BR/>Eh?

But there's another that says you're fighting a losing battle which you have no control over, especially, when you air your grievances publically.<BR/><BR/>If there's one thing the league really frowns upon, it's public criticism. Whether or not it shows how think skinned Stern and his bunch are is another debate. But that's just how it is.<BR/><BR/>Cuban's been in the NBA long enough to understand how things work along those lines. And while I'll agree with Avery's take that if the league is suspending Stack or telling the refs to favor calls towards Miami that it's pretty sorry, Cuban has take some of the blame for that if it is indeed true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-1150746002776339712006-06-19T14:40:00.000-05:002006-06-19T14:40:00.000-05:00"Three world class plays that will all be forgotte..."Three world class plays that will all be forgotten since they lost the game, but nevertheless, Dirk was clutch at clutch moments last night."<BR/><BR/>Bob,<BR/>Did you think that if Dirk had more than 12 POINTS through 3 QUARTERS that there wouldn't have been the need for those plays?

The game of basketball is a beautiful game, but it's become so damn political, that it's taking the fun and EVERYTHING that attracts people to it away.<BR/><BR/>That last play of the game should have NEVER happened, but because the 'best refs available' didn't call a backcourt violation on Wade, it did. I think the refs are doing a poor ass job on calls and are not being consistent on both sides of the floor with their calls. Dirk gets abused everytime and gets very few calls, yet if we as much as breathe on Wade, it's a freaken foul. Somebody else posted a comment saying that if we got shafted, they wouldn't watch the NBA anymore....... well, I was actually thinking the same thing. Just let the players play!!!! It is so DAMN frustrating watching these officials deciding the outcome of the games. Don't get me wrong, we should execute better down the stretch and not give the refs an opportunity to take the game from us.<BR/><BR/>Is it just me or do they let Shaq get away with pretty much everything? As Harris was trying to purposely foul him yesterday, Shaq lead with his elbow and hit Harris right on the jaw. That's about the fourth time I've seen him do that in this series. The biggest being the bloody nose on Stack which, if you look at the replay, you will see that it WAS intentional cus he lead with the elbow.<BR/><BR/>LET THE PLAYERS DECIDE THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME AND NOT THE REFS!!!

You shouldn't be calling out anybody in San Antonio, Detroit, Miami, LA or anywhere else. When the Mavs win they are invincible and when they lose, it's always the refs fault. Cuban has always been pathetic like that, but now Avery Johnson is just as bad as he is. Maybe if he was concentrating more on coaching last night instead of barking at the refs, his guy wouldn't have mistaken his timeout call there at the end.<BR/><BR/>If you want to know why the rest of the NBA can't stand you, your owner and your team, there is your answer.
