Bad calls are part of the NBA...the officiating is atrocious in general. But it's easy to see why Cuban is always quick to use it as an excuse for failure. Prevents him from ever having to point the finger at himself.
Marky thinks the refs were the reason they lost.

He is such a tool.
Cut the guy some slack. He thought his team was actually going to win a championship this year. He blew a ton of cash to make it happen (way more than Holt). And then he told everyone that the Mavs will kill when they are zeroed in and that they have a great shot at winning a le. Then he lost in the first round.

Every game in this series was won or lost in the 1st quarter.
I think in light of the fact that the Mavs are the only team to lose 1 to 8 and 2 to 7 we should now refer to the Mavs as the Historical Mavericks.
Ridiculous. Calls were even. Hill obvioulsy got fouled on his baseline one hander. Several others just as obvious. Manu getting hammered in the lane. Thought the announcers did a good job of staying away from commenting even though replays showed the refs missed calls both ways. I think camera shots of Cuban's incredulousness stir up the mavs followers.
If any team has a right to about bad calls changing a game, it's the Spurs with Fisher's .4 catch and shoot and the no call on Barry's shot.
And this should be his last fine for the year...what a knob.
basketball needs more characters like cuban imo.
The one foul I would give to the Mavs as an understandable gripe would be the one where, I think it was Butler, dunked it and ran into Hill on the way down. That was a bull call.
Even if he was right (and he's not), this is one of the mavs big problems. Cuban establishes this culture of whining and excuse making.
I have to disagree. Even though GHill did flop and sold it a bit, it was a shove from Butler, a punk move that was unnecessary. It is his damn fault if he got called for it.
Sorry, have to agree with phyzik on this one. Complete bull call
I will say that in this series the refs let them play rough playoff basketball and I found it unusual. Ginobili, Hill, Blair, McDyess, and even Jefferson thrived during the physical play of this series but Dirk and his teammates got frustrated and lost their composure. They kept looking for ticky tack calls and for the refs to bail them out of loose ball scrums.
This series felt like it was reffed differently than many I've seen in recent years, but in a good way. It was intense!
If Najera doesn't throw those two flagrants earlier in the series, the bump to Hill is almost definitely not called a tech. Refs were just making sure this game didn't get out of hand.
The culture that Cuban creates in the Mavs organization is just counterproductive. I live in Dallas, and it is SOOOO funny listening to the excuses and complaints right now.
I waited 4 years for yesterday's result, and to see Markies face was priceless.
He gives his opposition no credit ever (that cursory "Congrats to the Spurs" rang very hollow). The cryptic comments the TS mentioned are so obviously aimed at the officiating and he just keeps doing it over and over when things don't go his way.
The facts are that Cuban cannot buy or bully his way to a championship and the window for success is closing now.
I don't know what SA will do the rest of the playoffs, but dispatching the team owned by MC is fantastic.
lmaoooooooooo mark cuban and mavs
ST = laughs Guaranteed
He put the forearm into George's chest directly in front of the line ref. He might as well have blown the whistle on himself.
Mark Cuban.
I feel like the team feeds off of him. Like they take on his personality instead of Carlisle's.
He is an attention and any publicity for him and his team is good for him.
