And you can't compare the Mavericks with the Celtics and Spurs. All the Spurs have to say is four championships to zero...even if they've been swept during this period of Mavs success. All the Celtics have to say is two championship appearances while actually winning one. Both team can also say they didn't choke away an NBA Finals series.
As far as the article goes, he had a legit complaint about the first foul mentioned and I bet the official looked back at the tape and regret calling the foul. But you know what Cuban, don't come at me with a call at the six minute mark or whatever costing you a TWENTY-THREE point lead. The charge call at the 2:16 mark was absolutely correct. Cuban's claim of a defender stepping in under Dirk was pure nonsense.

Agreed.
And I like how a Mavs fan tries to throw NBA officiating as a whole under the bus by insinuating that the league office manipulates game outcomes. Of course that plays right into this forum where officials like to justify the undermining of their brethren under the guise of blaming the league office.
Yes, the NBA is different because the rules are indeed somewhat different and the athletes are the biggest and best in the world so the play is much different. There are things people may not like about the rules and/or the league in general. That's fine. You don't have to be a fan of the league. But I am so tired of officials throwing around the innuendo that other officials are cheating. It's a very poor practice IMHO.
Anyways, Cuban is an d-bag and I don't know why people still pay attention to his antics. Also IMHO.
