DALLAS -- Mavericks owner Mark Cuban contends that his former coach, Don Nelson, used "confidential information" to help the Golden State Warriors pull off a first-round playoff upset.

That accusation is part of Cuban's response to an arbitration claim Nelson has filed against Cuban to get $6.5 million of deferred compensation, which Nelson said he is owed for his time with the Mavericks in 1997-2005.

"Don may know that (Dirk) Nowitzki likes to turn toward his left shoulder, not his right shoulder, but we don't think that's a trade secret or confidential information," Nelson's attorney, John O'Connor, said by phone Friday from his San Francisco office. "Cuban apparently does."

Cuban, who had surgery Friday to replace his left hip, could not be reached for comment.

The Warriors became the first No. 8 seed to win a best-of-seven playoff series to knock out a top-seeded team, winning in six games. The stunning end to the Mavericks' season came a year after they made it to the NBA Finals, then lost in six games against Miami after taking a 2-0 series lead.

Seriously, can you be any more behind on the curve? Also, the only source for that claim is Nellie's attorney. Make of it what you will, and ladle it with a ton on salt.

What, so Cuban is not counter-suing?

He made a counter-claim regarding the no-compete clause Nellie signed to stay on as a consultant after stepping down as coach. Basically, Cuban's contention is that he doesn't owe Nellie any money because Nellie broke the no-compete clause by accepting the Warriors' job. Nellie says Cuban stopped paying the consulting contract and Nellie was no longer bound by the terms. Nellie's attorney has characterized the counter-claim as Cuban suing him for "beating the Mavs in the playoffs." Just because his lawyer characterized it that way doesn't make it so. All we have is a polemic from one side in litigation.
