The only way the league will deal with him effectively is through either ridicule or giving him no attention at all. In general, I think his novelty is wearing off among the public at large.
LEONARD yuo sure work hard apologizing for Cuban. What exactly did Bowen say to Cuban? Come on put up with it instead of grabbing for imaginary excuses.
I know Cuban tried to apologize half-assedly to Bowen with an e-mail or some BS like that so apparently he recognized that he's an asshole. You seem to still be in denial though.
IIRC, Bowen was talking to someone else and Cuban interjected.
It was a question...it seems like a vaguely remember some story, but don't recall the details...
See above...
Was the incident where Cuban's preggo wife was called a "fat heffer" (something to that effect) unrelated? (I honestly don't remember if the 2 stories were connected)
The 'Ricks need a whole new PR staff after this playoff series.. even if they win, who will not forget their childish antics and unclassy ways of the 2006 playoffs. Thanks for being the joke of the league 'Ricks.
Unrelated.
Right, a low post big man whose opponents hacked him rather than give up layups should have basically the same amount of FTs as a seven foot tall German who likes to jack up jumpers.Amazingly similar...for the 2 guys that are matchup nightmares for the other team...
The fact that the NBA's superstars a) get more calls and b) get more calls at home is NOTHING new...
What was the point of this again?
Have you ever played basketball in your life? I mean out on a court with a ball, not in a video game.
You would expect the low post player to have more FT attempts than the guard in a seven footer's body.
What? Don't you see how the refs giving Shaq all those imaginary and touch fouls and the Heat are getting that huge FT discrepancy. It's pretty blatant to me. How come Dirk isn't getting to the line as much as Shaq? Fix?

BTW, I love Cuban's blog for today.
* He calls for reporters to be able to ask officials questions after games. Someone want to point out to the guy that the officials did issue a statement after game 5.
* He says the league needs to explain the rules to the fans. What good would that do? Even Cuban and AJ don't know the rules, and at least one (AJ) is paid to know them.
Dirk gets fouled when he drives...
and he gets fouled on jumpshots sometimes...
Both as a result of being a MATCHUP NIGHTMARE...
Dirk avg'd MORE FT's per game this season than Duncan, yet Duncan got more FT's in the Mavs series....
Sweet...$250k fine for Cuban
Sweet...$250k fine for Cuban
250k for Cuban is like me being fined $250....BFD. He should be suspended for the rest of the series.
If Dallas wins next two games and Stern has to hand Cuban the trophy, I would stay away from the trophy for a while....I think it will have Anthrax sprinkled on it.
I'm going to pull up some old threads on games 3 and 4 of the Western Semifinals. How about all the talk about Duncan being fouled in Game 7 of that series?
I have my complaints and my games, too. Recognize that the NBA is thriving off of 30 fanbases snickering at one another when it happens to them. Fight that urge, and try and get something done about it.
Good, then you can highlight all of the times Mav Fan lectured the forum about not "whining" and accepting the results.
Like changing the channel and closing the tab?I have my complaints and my games, too. Recognize that the NBA is thriving off of 30 fanbases snickering at one another when it happens to them. Fight that urge, and try and get something done about it.
<--- Not whining about the Heat series...
That's gonna be awkward. "And to the Dallas Mavs, for being the best team in the NBA, and showing what is necessary to be a Cham....
oh, it, Cuban, you win."
That's very convenient for you. I've noticed that happens to you frequently when someone calls your bluff or puts you on the spot.
Regardless of what Bruce Bowen said or didn't say or who he said it to or didn't say it to, Mark Cuban was an ass then for interjecting himself (and he was an ass on Sunday for "glaring" at Stern if that's all he did, which I doubt...but, even if he didn't say a word, doesn't make it right). He's an owner for crying out loud. Supposedly a professional (professional what, I've never been able to figure out...spoiled rich frat boy?)...this is not the behavior of someone who presents themselves to the world as a "businessman". Of course, hardly any facet of his behavior is "businesslike". No wonder his organization is out of control.
Well Cuban says he never said the league was rigged and didn't yell at Stern at all.
Regarding the Bowen situation, Cuban called Bowen " ing asshole" or something to that effect after Game 6. Then immediately sent a Mavericks employee to the locker room to apologize.
Then before Game 7, Cuban came up to Bowen to ask him if he got the apology.
Stern was told about it and said that it was taunting and inappropriate IIRC.
Bowen did not foul Dirk at the end of the game so if anything was ed up it was Dallas gifts against the Spurs.
Where have I done this exactly? I made my statement as a QUESTION from the beginning in this thread...
Huh??
Thanks for clarifying Kori
Hmmm....sounds oddly familiar....
I'd imagine that if anyone heard him said it they would come forward. I don't really believe Cuban, but who really knows other than the people close by.
What a swell guy. Cuban, I mean.
