    2nd request. What happened in the Pacer game that set AJ off like that? Did anyone see the game? Redefined?

    Just more of Mark Cuban being Mark Cuban. Crying about officiating and getting his name mentioned in the headlines. The two very things that he does best. [..YAWN..]

    Of course we know Rockets fan would just turn the other cheek if the same happened to our team. I've got no problems with him complaining about it in an official manner if what they say happened actually happened. Hell, I'd be pissed if it happened to the Rockets. I also liked the quote about them pointing out fouls that went against them and for them. If that's true, then more power to ya Mr. Cuban.

    Agree with DoD. I am no fan of Cuban and the Mavs. But what is wrong with filing a complaint about an obviously wrong call? And the complaint's point was not about that particular call but about the procedure--the officials ignored and did not correct a mistake that they knew at the time. A 3pt shot is an objectively verifiable thing, unlike some subjective call about whether someone is fouled or not.

    Some people even suggest that Cuban is ruining the NBA. I think holding the officiating accountable is a GOOD thing for everyone.

    No, the fans wouldn't. But our owner has never did anything but turn the other cheek, and our coach doesn't do anything, and our superstar (Yao) does nothing but whine a little bit, when in fact, he gets mugged on a consistent basis. I, for one, wished Les, Morey, Adelman, and Yao would start a huge stink about a bias against Yao. And I wished our coach and Yao would pick up some technicals retaliating against the abuse he takes.

    Our former coach did make a comment and it cost him $100,000.

    he didn't say the refs were trying to fix games against his team with no proof like jvg did. they're just saying they think a call was wrong and protesting like i assume the league allows teams to do. besides, he's been fined a ton for things he said about the league and refs so it's not like stern holds back on cuban b/c he likes him so much.

    they were just reporting what the most extreme action the league could take would be. how does that have anything to do with being biased? should they have lied and said it was something else?

    LOL! Hey Cub*tch, ask the Rox what they think of how Yao gets officiated? Typical nitpicky Cub*tch being Cub*tch. What about calls that throw playoff games, cub*tch? Michael Finley (game 5 in 2005)? What about a missed call in game 6 of 1987 conference semis with Seattle where we WOULD have won in regulation instead of losing in 2OT? THOSE are calls worth protesting, Cub*tch not arguing over a point or not when it basically had no bearing in winning or losing. And people ask me why I detest this prick? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Cub*tch the politiking prick! :rolleyes:

    I believe it was a good call. If Devin Harris would have tried to release the ball instead of flopping his head, then he would have a case.

    The Mavs deserve to be the receiver of every bad call over the next 6 NBA seasons as far as I'm concerned.

    They are a bunch of flopping queers.

    Not disagreeing with you statement. But what does that have to do with calling out the refs when they suck?

    Since when is the official scorer have anything to do with making calls on the floor. Cuban will whine to anyone who will listen.
