:lol Why are you so obsessed with the spurs championships, you keep on bringing them up, not me. And I'm not sure that's irony your tasting. As for leading the division, congrats. :toastQuote:

And I ain't saying nothing other than it was a great day if you are a Spurs fan basking in the warm afterglow of postgame thoughts but if you're a DalMavs fan you've had to dodge piles of rust on the way to patting your boy's on their backs.Quote:

Back when none of you Mav Fans existed.Quote:

The Mavs didn't get better when Nash left...Quote:

Bingo. Cuban has created this whole culture in Dallas. The announcers have to be blatant homers, whining at every whistle, the fans are to show no respect to the opposing team, even when ex-Mavs are on the team, and every time you lose a game it was a conspiracy.Quote:

So if he's comfortable with getting favoritism for the refs in one instance, why is he so upset about it when it works against him in the Finals? Why is it "wrong" then?
And riddle me this. What reason did Stern possibly have to tell the refs to make a complete 180 degree turn on how they were officiating after Game 2 of the Finals? Why did all the calls go against the Mavs so suddenly? What happened between Games 2 and 3 that could have possibly angered Stern so much?
Oh I don't know. I'm sure that Letterman interview where Mark acted like they'd already won the championship and took cheap shots at both Pat Riley and Steve Nash was perfectly normal behavior for a decent human being. Just like telling Bruce Bowen "to go fuck himself" is perfectly normal.
To this day Cuban won't admit he made a grave mistake during those Finals, not only with his Letterman comments but in his behavior afterward. He never apologized for anything he said or did.
And at the end of the day, that's why Spurs fans can't stand Cuban. He's got so much money he never has to apologize. He'll pay the fines, he just doesn't give a shit. He's too immature to admit he's ever wrong.
The NBA is a league and every team is trying to win, but it's a brotherhood too and both the players and the owners have to look out for each other. When one guy takes the attitude where other owners and teams and players don't deserve any respect, that's just a slippery slope to mutiny from your business partners.
The guy says the Spurs are his business model for how they play basketball, but all the little things that make the Spurs what they are, the character, the sportsmanship, not whining to the media about the refs, Cuban doesn't care about any of that. The guy has gone on the record as saying if it was up to him players could use whatever performance enhancers they wanted and that fans shouldn't care about what off the court behavior/criminal records athletes have. Sorry, I don't find that attitude very respectable or commendable.
This is not new to sports, not by a long shot. Blatant homer announcers, what team doesn't? The fans and respect? Have you ever seen a Yankee's - Socks game?Quote:

You read his blog ... You must not hate him that much. A fan of a team knows when they get calls and when they don't, I have never seen a thread on the board complaining about when Duncan gets a call and there shouldn't have been. At least not one started by a Spurs fan .... Do you know why? Because you look at the games from the opposite camp. Nothing wrong with that, Its what fans do.Quote:

Its call home court. "The home team gets the friendly whistles" ... No great secret there.Quote:

"How they PLAY basketball". The things you mention have nothing to do with that.Quote:

You should explain the context of that statement. His reasoning was simple. "They are doing it anyway, why only penalize the ones that don't excellel at it"Quote:

Take the Tour De France, drugs are a problem in the sport, nobody can deny that. Lance won 6 of then and was tested EVERY DAY ... He never failed a test.
Now if you test his samples from the past by todays standards, he would (and has) fail the drug tests. But thats by todays standards, what he was doing at the time was legal.
Steroids are big business, don't fool yourself. There are scientist that are payed to "beat the system" this year then come out with another formula to work under next years rules.
Thats not to say that it is right, it is to say that it IS happening everyday. Now should a fan care? .... Yes, but do they? No.
There are exceptions, but look at Bonds .... He is still in the league and about to break a MAJOR record ... Shouldn't he be booted? but then he wouldn't sell tickets for his sorry team.
Look at Artest, To my knowledge he has the biggest rap sheet in the NBA, has he been booted from the League? No, talent talks and everything else walks. Kidd beats his wife ... Talent talks .. Everything else walks.
Sense you read his Blog, go back and read it again to see what he was talking about when he said those things. Taking bits here and there is where Cuban gets a bad rap from the world, try reading the WHOLE thing, that way you can make up your mind for yourself.
I know ... "But he diss'ed the riverwalk". So what, your in the rival team, he isn't going to say anything good about SA. Its called building a rivalry
The Mavs struggles @ the Lakers historically...nice to see them crush a Lakers team that shouldn't be able to compete with them at all...

And then after isolating contentions made by aaronstampler you, diametrically, contradict your dissection ploy by telling your intended target "try reading the WHOLE thing," which in essence is commensurate with taking the proverbial finger and flickin' the whole house of cards down, right at the end of your snip and snipe.Quote:

Oh yea, That's right, I saw you at the Spurs game a couple of years ago with that Kobe jersey on.
