So, which Mav Fan trolling in here is Cuban?
Should the Mavs lose the series, does anyone not expect Cuban to blame the refs, David Stern, Stu Jackson, and the Easter Bunny?

Memo to Cuban... you are a whiny school girl who has done nothing but compalin since you came into the league.
By the way those changes you bragged about on Letterman that helped the league change their rules to allow less contact (Riley Ball) on the perimeter is going to cost you the championship..I'm sure the Miami heat and Dwayne Wade are greatful for your consistent whining you did about the rules and it has now come back to bite you in the ass..
I hope to see Wade take 25 more free throws tonight..
what kind of suspension/fine do you think Cuban will get for this.
Think about this people...
1 column is reporting this
It's in the TENTH paragraph
"was overheard to shout" isn't the best source
If Cuban said this it would be the headline of not only THIS column, but EVERY column...not to mention Sportscenter, etc...
I'm pretty sure this is complete BS...
Mike & Mike were trying to get the columnist on the phone this morning because they weren't buying it either...
If he was running around the court and shouting and staring at Stern, is it really out of the question that he'd utter something like that?
Anything is possible...
But I think some verification is in order before people run with this...
But I expect most Cuban haters to blindly run with it anyway...
If the NBA is rigged, then Cuban made it that way. After all, he claimed to Letterman to be the architect behind the the new, defenseless NBA.
I really hope that the refs put Cuban in his place tonight and go whistle happy on the Mavs.
"You want fixed? Fine, we'll foul out your starters by halftime."
Sadly though I suspect all this whining, like every time it's happened in the past (no matter the coach), will result in Dallas shooting about 50 FTs tonight and at the other end Miami shooting about 10.
That said, I'd love nothing more than the refs to give the proverbial middle finger to Cuban and tag his team for fouls until they're blue in the face.
I think Cuban enjoys the publicity that comes with being fined.
I mean really in the light of all his wealth, all the attention he gains cost him relatively nothing.
What's the difference LEONARD? If it's confirmed you'll just say "Cuban is the man".Anything is possible...

He just figured that out ? How does he think he GOT to the NBA finals ?
If he said that he was way out of line...
I just don't buy it...sorry...it wouldn't been a HUGE headline YESTERDAY. Not in the 10th paragraph of a Miami column TODAY...
Whippin' some Spur ass??
Spurs making critical mistakes late like the Mavs have done in games 3 and 5...
"the new, defenseless NBA."
NBA TV ran Game6 of the 1998 Finals Tue afternoon, Bulls @ Jazz.
Extremely physical compared today. Plenty of fouls called, but plenty of "fouls" not called. But not one bit less entertaining, nor was it lower quality game.
Eunuch Cuban lobbied for the perimeter defense to be castrated because he's never been able to buy big men that can do , so he MUST have his perimeter guys able to penetrate. Cuban likes guys who can penetrate.
Cuban, effeminate/gay/rainbow-warrior, has helped feminize the NBA.

You and your homerism are pathetic Leonard!Whippin' some Spur ass??

So the Mavs earned nothing in that series? It was just the refs handing it to them?
They didn't win game 2 easily?
Blowup the Spurs in the 1st half of game 7?
???
And the Spurs didn't blow chances? Tim missing a game winner...Manu's foul on Dirk...Manu's TO in game 3 (I think) at the end??
???
So was he way out of line when he shouted out to Bowen "you're a ing asshole" after a game?If he said that he was way out of line...
I just don't buy it...sorry...it wouldn't been a HUGE headline YESTERDAY. Not in the 10th paragraph of a Miami column TODAY...
Yea...if that's all there was to the story...
You might not want to hold up a game where the Mavs shot 43 FTs on the Spurs court (game 2) as an example of fairness or something 'earned'.So the Mavs earned nothing in that series? It was just the refs handing it to them?

Just a thought.
I agree with Leonard, the NBA is not "fixed" per se. If it was, I wouldn't watch it. I'd just watch the American equivalent of Nacho Libre...
I do have a problem with "every touch is a foul." I think the "new" NBA, that Cuban had taken credit for helping develop, is not fun to watch. I want to see players making incredible moves, through some physical contact. I don't want to see every drive rewarded with either a no-contest basket or free-throws.
Total # of FT's means JACK $HIT...
Bottomline Cuban, for all his money, is an emotional disturbed individual who is spiraling out of control. I don't know what the bylaws of the NBA are regarding ownership requirements in terms of conduct but it would not surprise me if Cuban someday isn't forced to divest himself of ownership of his franchise.
At the end of round 1, ESPN poll...'Who would you like most to see in the NBA Finals'
#1 Dallas/Miami
Makes you wonder. But it was a horribly reffed series. Of course if GinoBilly wasn't such a DUMBASS, you'd be fishing right now.
I'm still bewildered by that foul. I'll bet every once in a while pop and every other spurs players are still, every once in a while, stopping what ever they're doing and just shake their heads.
It just boggles the mind...
happens. Manu pulled a Phil Mickelson.
