I don't mind if you lie, just don't get mad when I don't believe you.

Well there was that 1 phantom foul call at the end of overtime on
Nowitzki who didn't touch him on replays that bailed out Wade and sent
him to the line to tie and then give them the lead with 1.9 seconds
left.One could consider that a bad call.

Um, last time I check Cuban IS an owner. He didn't yell fire in a
crowded theater and he didn't slam someone using a derogatory epithet.
He just stated the facts, that the officiating is inconsistent.

No you weren't.

Avery was standing there doing the times out signal vigorously and that
was a bad call? You might want to lay down the crack pipe.

Oh here we go again.... another idiot that has no clue what "freedom of
speech" really means... Newsflash #1: Freedom of speech does NOT mean you
can say anything you want to any time you want to with absolutely no
consequences whatsoever. Did the United States government fine him for
expressing his opinion..? No.

Newsflash #2: An employer or league someone voluntary belongs to can
regulate what members are and aren't allowed to say (and punish them
accordingly when rules are violated). And if you don't believe me, then go
into work tomorrow and call every black person you see the n-word. Then see
how far your constitutional freedom of speech protects you from getting
fired.

Oh, I am the first to admit home court teams get more calls their way. But
that's irrelevant to the point at hand. The 2 points I made and stand by
are:

1) Cuban should stop whining after all the horrible calls that benefitted
him against San Antonio, and
2) The only bad call in the closing moments of Sunday's game was the timeout
fiasco.

Yeah, that generous call when Jason Terry was sent home for a game.. The
Mavs got called for more fouls in that series than San Antonio did. Bottom
line.

Well, last time I checked the Celtics weren't in this year's NBA Finals...
So as long as the Lakers are gone, I can sit back and enjoy what has been
the best playoffs in years. I just calls' em as I sees 'em and biased fools
like you just hate to hear the truth.

Just like all those missed Mavs fouls against San Antonio and all those
phantom fouls called against San Antonio in the same games.

See your logical flaw is you are responding to something I didn't say. I
wasn't talking about the body of the game was I...? No, I wasn't. I was
simply referrring to the closing moments (where the bulk of the bitching and
moaning seems to be). The only bad call from the closing moments was the
time out fiasco. Deal with it.

Except Wade was fouled on that play - they just got the call wrong regarding
whom specifically did the fouling. That sort of thing happens in 99.9% of
NBA games played.
