Any inside info on which mob was involved? I didn't realize there was a big mob in the Bradenton, FL area. I can only assume it's some guy's like Uncle Junior that are just looking for some more action.
is that the same call you bitched about then we presented you with the image of a mav player grabbing wade's arm?
not the same call - came three's call was a jumpshot from almost the arc - nobody touched him and BS called the foul from 30 feet away. just saying, with the calls in that series, and the calls not going Bron's way this year.....something will not sit well with NBA fans. Don't think for a minute that some owners, like Cuban, will sue the NBA if they have any evidence one of their games was tampered with. as for GS series, I admit the Mavs just collapsed there - no excuses
wade was the aggressor in the series and got the calls. you're just mad because dirk thought the 3point line was the berlin wall and he didn't want to cross it. i'm not sure what he thought the paint was......... one more thing, wade had a deadly mid-range jumpshot in the '06 finals... LeBrick, on the other hand couldn't hit a jumpshot if his life depended on it.
As a dallas resident I can honestly say my seething disdain for Mark Cuban, his shark teeth his stupid behavior on the sidelines (Where he is so close to the bench you think he is about to check in) his over the top idiotic statements, running on the court to fight opposing teams players and the fact the man is nothing more then a huge huge power geek with tons of money has caused me to celebrate Mavs failures.
The Mavs were horrible and irrelevant pre-Cuban. Now they're not. Is that not enough to excuse him for acting like most of us would if we hit the lottery and bought a pro team?
get back to the topic. (funny for me to write that, i dont even follow the nba). in a way thisis being blown out of proportion. id be willing to bet that the ref chose unimportant games and waited til they were decided, then tried to shave the lead down a bit to not cover. im sure he convinced himself that it was ok as long as he didnt change the outcome of games. but im surre soon we'll hear of analyses of his recent games.
