Cuban is really sensitive about any criticism towards Parsons. I think he doesn't want to give anyone any ammunition to question the decision to offer Parsons a max contract.
Didn't read the thread because the responses are too predictable. This shows why Carlisle is the best in the business and will only help the Mavs and Parsons get better. Thinking this will somehow hurt the Mavs is a typical homer angle.
Wait, so a top coach is someone who (A) call out his player to the media but the player's weight and (B) apologize to the player through the media after said player instagramed himself in response to the original criticism? I would take Carlisle over McHale in a second, but how is the above a positive?
This was a Cuban move (which is ****ty considering how good a coach Carlisle is). what's even more amusing is how emotionally fragile parsons is that he had to take to instagram to post a pic. Can't wait to watch this can **** the bed in Dallas. He'll be lucky to shoot 45% and average 16 points.

Cuban must have said something to him. I read over what Carlisle had to say and there was nothing that struck me as horrible. I guess he could of just kept it in the locker room...
You seem pretty pissy about the Rockets and their fans around here lately. I think you need a new home.
