Mark Cuban Fined 2Cents for 'acts of misconduct'

He's an idiot fan.

 

"What a lo-ser."

 

I like this a lot.

 

So how is the league supposed to sit down with the good folks of America and "explain" it all?

 

god, I hate this guy, but this time his complaint is valid...

that was a backcourt as clear as day....

 

no, it wasn't

might want to read through some of the other threads

 

why on earth would i want to do that?

just tell me, do the rules allow the player to receive the ball in the backcourt or run blatantly into the backcourt after the inbound pass...

 

Yes, in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes or less in the game. In the rule book.

 

thats not what happened

 

my question was multiple choice... "or" was the operative word

he. ran. backcourt.

...Replays showed that Wade leaped near midcourt to catch the ball in the air, landing with possession in the backcourt.

Part of the rule states that, "frontcourt/backcourt status is not attained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in either half during a throw-in in the last 2 minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period."

Because Wade was in the air when he caught the ball, league spokesman Tim Frank said his position wasn't determined until he landed. And since another rule allows for the ball to be thrown into the backcourt at that time, there was no violation...

 

Blatz: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Now the silly nonsense about this backcourt "violation" can stop. Talk about beating a completely illegitimate point to death.

 

thats what I wanted, a clarification of the backcourt 2 minute rule...

I'm sure they will re-air it a dozen times tonight, let the truth be told...
