Dallas Maverick fan, this is just bitchassdedness right here:

Mavs coach Rick Carlisle, owner Mark Cuban upset over Game 3 calls

DALLAS --*Mavericks*coach Rick Carlisle made pointed comments criticizing officials for letting the*Houston Rockets get away with what he considered to be illegal physical play during Friday night's Game 3.

"Look, referees miss calls, but there's just a lot of physical stuff going on out there that just doesn't look kosher to me," Carlisle said after a*130-128 loss*that put the Mavs on the brink of elimination. "They're a more physical team, but this series has got to be played within the rules."

Without prompting, Carlisle specifically mentioned a long rebound by Rockets center*Dwight Howard*on the opening possession of the fourth quarter, a play on which Dallas guard*Devin Harris ended up flat on his back by the Mavs' bench after Howard warded him off with his right arm.

"We're scrambling like hell defensively and Devin Harris is going to get the ball, and Dwight Howard throws him into our bench," said Carlisle, adding that he had reviewed the play six times on film. "He takes the ball, skips it over the top and [Trevor] Ariza*gets a wide-open 3. So instead of us getting the ball and a foul on Howard, it turns into essentially a five- [or] six-point swing.

"That stuff's got to stop. The officials got to get that stuff under control, because there's too much physical stuff going on. Howard is throwing people all over the place, and that can't happen in Game 4."

After being informed of Carlisle's comments, Howard reacted by turning to teammate*James Harden*and mouthing, "Wow, really." Howard, who grabbed a career-playoff-high 26 rebounds in the game, then offered a politically correct response to the question.

"It's a long series, and my job is to be dominant in the paint and just do my best," Howard said. "I don't think about it when I'm out there. I just go out there and play."

Mavs owner Mark Cuban did not comment after the game, sticking to his policy of being publicly silent during the playoffs. However, as usual, Cuban vocally disagreed with several calls during the game despite the fouls count being even at 28 per team.

During the fourth quarter, Cuban made a point to express his displeasure to commissioner Adam Silver, who was seated next to the midcourt tunnel. Cuban briefly exited the floor after an offensive foul called against Mavs forward*Al-Farouq Aminu, walking from his baseline seat by the Mavs' bench into the midcourt tunnel, glaring at Silver and shaking his head as he walked by the commissioner. When Cuban returned moments later, he complained to Silver, shouting over press row as he walked.

"That's exactly what we talked about!" Cuban shouted.

That appeared to be a reference to Cuban's discussion with league officials after the Mavs owner publicly declared in late March that it was "criminal" that Mavs guard*Monta Ellis*didn't get more fouls called on drives to the basket.

Cuban said the following week that he traveled to New York to review film with Silver, NBA president of basketball operations Rod Thorn and other league officials regarding the rule of verticality for defensive players.


The league never announced a fine for Cuban stemming from those comments. His fine totals during previous commissioner David Stern's tenure reached well into seven figures, with many of the fines assessed for public criticism of officiating. Silver, who replaced Stern in February 2014, has never publicly fined Cuban.

=============================

this is so fuckin weak man. That whole team flops around like a fish out of water and cries about every call they get and don't get.

Now u get instances of an owner publicly yelling at the commissioner as if he dare disobey the directive he gave him. And the personal visit to NBA HQ to sit with Silver and Thorn? Most teams send video evidence to the league but very few have them hand delivered to the highest authorities by the team owner :smh:

They are setting the table for how Howard will be officiated next game. I guarantee he won't be allowed to dominate on Sunday as he did on Friday. He'll get two quick tic tac fouls in the first quarter and ride the pine most of the game.
 
Fuck mark Cuban!!!!!!!!


That piece of shit is still salty from 2006

Bitch how u win 2 games and then lose 4 in a row to a 15-9 shaq and Derek anderson

That complaining shit will backfire on them fam. The league doesn't like it when coaches or owners publicly call out officiating. Remember when Van Gundy called out the league about how Yao Ming was being treated against Dallas in that series 10 years ago? The league didn't take kindly to that and Dallas blew us out game 7.

Mavs just getting desperate. The officiating has been bad both ways. Refs might just swallow their whistles next game just to spite the whiny ass Mavs.
 
Mavs bought their championship in 2011. They had the highest payroll in the league, and the refs gave Dirk the "Jordan treatment" in the playoffs that year. Since then they aint been outta the first round. Mark Cuban deserves a lot of scrutiny.

And what's even worse about this.....

You remember that crooked ref that was bettinh on NBA games, Tim Donaghy?

In that book he wrote, if my memory is correct, he CONFIRMED everything that JVG said as being true.





I'm just here so I don't get fined
 
I do not share the views of our punk ass owner or coach

They ruined a championship roster and team and now they must pay the price

Feeling the wrath of the basketball Gods

Man get the fuck out of here Inkosi tucked his tail like a bitch and that's how we won

Knicks had a high payroll for years and years in the 2000s and don't even have a finals appearance during that time period to show for it, shit an eastern conference finals

Nets spending money and not on shit

Plenty of teams spend and have nothing to show for it

Thought it would add a nice touch :lol:

I think Malawi Leonard bout to see a max contract

Spurs have no choice

If they don't give it to him someone else will

He ain't no foreigner you can finesse into taking less like they are used to having

It's already been established by his camp he wants a max deal

Aldridge is in his contract year, so the Spurs might be looking to get him.

Spurs ain't going to give a max deal. They have been convincing their players to take cuts for years. They can convince Aldridge and Leonard to take less in order to continue to win for the longe haul.
 
This Jimmy Butler boy.....
:smh:

At the end....Jimmy Butler is gonna be a bigger surprise than Kawhi Leonard was.
Bet it!!!


Cant wait to see how he adjust vs LBJ next round.

Hes a beast, but him being a bigger surprise than Kawhi was is next to impossible at this point..

Jimmy has a much bigger profile at this point in his career than Kawhi did leading into the Finals last year. This team is already considered in some circles to be Jimmy's team, plus, as long as D Rose is playing, he will always have to share the spotlight with him. What Kawhi did, taking the spotlight from a team with 3 aging definitely first ballot hall of famers isn't the same dynamic Jimmy is working with...
 
gutsy win by nets...great shit from lopez...I swear to god I can't wait til dwill contract is over...what a piece of shit

*edit*

damn this bitch nigga shit don't run out til 2017 :smh::smh::smh:

Aldridge man IDK this will be his last big deal but this is also his chance to try and secure himself on a real contender

And everything I read about Leonard leads me to believe he is going to take the max deal
