Who he own?
Reggie is still better than "Mr. sausage" Magic Johnson...
Who he own?
Slightly homerish? The dude almost got a technical when he stood up and stared down a ref after a bad call.
But now he's paid to be a homer, and not objective like he was on ESPN.
I agree with that...I don't know if it's just me, but I noticed that whenever the Lakers played on TNT, that was the only time Magic was on there.
If the Lakers weren't playing, he wasn't part of the crew.
You gotta love Cuban's candidness, nonetheless. He's a rare bird of an owner, that's for sure.
No you don't. He's an embarassment to himself.You gotta love Cuban's candidness, nonetheless.
He is paid to be biased. Who do you think pays Sean's paycheck? He is not a national broadcaster any longer. He did have a problem with keeping his "we"s and "us"s under control when he was working with ESPN. Now that he works for the Spurs, he doesn't have to worry about it any longer. How much do you think that played into his decision to leave ESPN? And, God knows, he didn't need the money.
You must not have watched much (run out to the kitchen for a brewski during the commercials and time-out breaks?). Magic was on there a lot, not just for Lakers games. Magic is not my favorite analyst, but the man knows his basketball.
Thank God. I don't think the world could stand two Cueballs.
And no, I don't have to love him or his "candidness."
Like Barkley just said, if Cuban knew basketball he wouldn't have put together that soft team
Barkley called them soft and also called them "cupcakes" right before they took a break for commercials. Hmmmm... maybe I'll make some for the game on Saturday!
What I think is hilarious is that they have to run to the locker room to turn on the post game show to see how they did.
No, I actually have had a DVD recorder for about a year now and still don't know how to work it.
that isn't on user's honey do me list?
Cuban being his typical ass-clown self.
Cuban is a punk-ass, spoiled brat with a ton of mula, who is way too media-conscious than any owner should be. I guarantee that no other NBA owner is as concerned as much with what other people think about their team.
I live in the Dallas area and I can tell all of you how hilarious it is to be listening to the local radio talking heads providing their critical assessments of the Mavs and then hear Cuban call in to take them to task with his counterpoints.
Also in recent weeks, Cuban issued an edict to both his TV and radio broadcast hosts (Mark Followill and Chuck Cooperstein) instructing them NOT to discuss the salaries of any Mavs players during games.
I know how Cuban bristles at the moniker that his team is "soft", but if the label wasn't true then Avery would not have had to change the vision and direction of the team by stating that he "wants to develop a team that applys better defenisve pressure, limits lane pentrations and take hard fouls." The truth hurts don't it?
This guy is priceless.
It's funny that Cuban would get so bent out of shape about the comments. The Mavs played like total vomit for the majority of that game, got some help from the officials and canned some lucky shots against a team they should have beaten by 30 in regulation. Charles just said that they shouldn't be proud of what they did. The fact that Cuban and, by extension, his entire team, wouldn't agree that they got lucky and need to play better for 48 minutes is just proof that they are built for the regular season. It's also a reason they got it handed to them by another inferior team the very next day.
Mav's love is blindness .. Mr. Cuban...
Just found the blog on NBA.com maybe you guys can check it out.

In case you haven't noticed the suns are still a good team. The mavs were on the road so it wasn't easy winning that game. Anyways blaming the officials for the suns lost is stupid. I get bent out of shape everytime I hear Barkley speak. I hate listening to him talking trash about the mavs. That seems to be his favorite team to talk trash about. And Houston hasn't even played Dallas this year and already Houston is better?
Since when are the Suns without Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson and Amare Stoudamire a "good" team in the first game of the season? They have some good individual players, but they aren't a team yet and nobody thinks they have a shot of being a championship contender. The Mavs, who should have higher aspirations than going 1-1 against Utah and Phoenix, won that game by jacking up desperation shots at the end and hitting them. Blaming the officials for a loss is stupid, but if you get gift calls from the officials and go to overtime you should at least acknowledge that you were lucky to win the game. The Mavericks should be embarassed that they didn't win that game going away, especially since the Suns, who Barkley said can't play defense, were made to look pretty good by the Mavs' terrible offense. Thinking you are good after a bad win is what losers do. The Mavs should have outgrown that by now.
Barkley never talked trash about the Mavericks, and any fan of the team that actually wants to win a championship should know that. The Mavericks are built for the regular season, and that hasn't changed. The denial of same by the organization and their fans hasn't changed either.
According to you, the Mavericks have no real weaknesses and should win 60 games. Did the last two performances reinforce your belief? You should be expecting them to play better. There's nothing wrong with saying "I'm glad they won, but they could play better."

Right back at you Charles and Kenny
I stand by everything i said in my last blog.
Actually you guys proved my point.
Did you read the blog at all ? It was nice that TNT left out the reference to us tracking our results on defense and going to and away from what was working or not.
CB, get a 2 way with internet access. There is some good info out there that could make you better at what you do. More importantly, when you say people out there that spend their days on computers have no life.. time to step into 2005. When you said that , TNT and the NBAs audience that advertisers covet the most looked at each other and laughed. THen they IMed or TXT messaged their buddy list and called you out again. Get that 2 way CB. It will make it easier to keep in touch with the family and to do your job. You will love it.
And comparing your basketball IQ to mine isnt quite apples to apples given that Im not the coach. Im willing to compare the basketball knowledge of AJ, Del Harris, Joe Prunty and Larry Riley to the two of you anytime. My guess, you guys are on the short end of the stick
Nothing personal guys, but working off generalizations of how the game was played when you played doesnt get it done. Our coaches know the game. They dont just coach on reputation, they coach the game and coach to improve the team for June.
Of course all of this is only talk. It all comes down to our guys doing their jobs. They do whatever it takes to make our team better every day. They dont just show up and play because “they know how to play”. Hopefully it will win us a championship
No matter what your profession, if you arent busting ass to be prepared and to get better, you are falling behind. Im not sure the TNT guys understand that concept.
Its not personal, its just business advice.
well if anyone knows about "busting ass"...its Cuban.
What a pathetic attention deprived clown of an owner.
Cuban is an attention craving ego maniac...every damn season he has to be controversial.
that crap get's old.
Cuban is the man. Someone had to call out Barkley. I hate him more than Stephen A. Smith and that is tough to do. Barkley.
Funny how Cuban didn't claim that Nellie had more bball knowledge than Barkley and Smith. I guess he's finally learned something...
