Oh well. Series doesn't start until a road game is won.

Mavs are giving piss poor effort so far and Dirk/Monta are playing awful.

Rockets look like they will win this one in 5 or 6 with the way the bench is playing.


4-0

Always sucks to lose, even more in the playoffs but it was good to see condo and staudimare bring it. Still confident in my Mavs in 6. Ellis can't leave his man like he did tonight and we didn't shoot well from 3 pts.


Where did this guy go ?

Is there any more tired bit than the disappointed Cuban photo anytime the Mavs lose? Is that really a funny thing to opposing fan bases still?

The guy bleeds his team colors and you make fun of him. He's not doing anything that you don't do for your team, he just happens to get to go for free.

He lasted as long as Rondo played in the second half. 28 seconds.

Everything you say is surely public record and analyzed as such, right? How's your self made billion dollar fortune?

Just a funny act we have seen in Dallas from opposing fans for as long as he has owned the team, that's all.

No, but I'm still not dumb enough to get drunk and say something like that to a buddy. It reeks of angry ex gf. He wants to be a public figure, he's going to get called out and made fun of. Get over it.

My point still stands. Happens every single time there is a Spurs/Rockets win. Need a new anti-Mavs bit.

Not to mention since that bit originated, I think a championship and Shark Tank have done a ton for his image.

How about this? You're down 0-2 and neither game has been in doubt during the last 7 min of the 4th quarter. The bit is... we're better than you and there isn;t a damn thing you can do about it.

Cuban's been the best thing that's happened to the Mavericks. He's a man committed to winning and to his team. As a Rockets fan I can definitely appreciate that. I can also see why Dallas fans like him so much.

That being said, he's gone out of his way to antagonize Rockets fans and Daryl Morey, and just act like a complete ass in general. So yes, it is funny to see him upset.

Not going to disagree that the Rockets are better than the Mavs this season though. That's pretty obvious, although not much of an accomplishment.

On the flipside of my bit comment...do you think that Cuban antagonizing is a bit as well? Could he be trying to drum up a rivalry?

Recent history has not been great (not backhanded), so perhaps he is being noisy to keep interest. Whatever's good for business...

There's 0 doubt in my mind that Cuban does it to drive up the rivalry. He needs to work at drafting better though and not making crazy FA acquisitions. I think he's a stellar voice in the league for fixing things and implementing good polices though.

But who else has he done it to? The whole "rest of the team isn't very good" comment seemed like a bit, because the Rockets have one of the deepest and most talented collections of talent in the league, and surely Cuban knows that.

The spat with Morey seems genuine though.

You don't need to "drum up" a rivalry between the 3 teams in Texas. Cuban is truly and genuinely bitter/butt hurt at the rockets. He's said and done some dumb ****, so it's pretty naive for you to think otherwise

It's just that during more successful seasons he shuts up (learned his lesson in 06 ). For past two he has been noisy, and he's a little sore over losing big FA.

Tbh I think the Mavs need a 3-5 season walk in the NBA lottery wilderness and rebuild completely. Trade Dirk for picks and do it the right way. Does not have to be this next season, but do it while you can still get picks...

Cuban will never trade Dirk, so it is all moot.

This coming from prob the biggest Rockets fan out there --- it's not Cuban I despise, I actually love the Cube. It's born/bred Dallas folk, who never fail to live up to the stereotype, I despise.

How did this Mavs team win 50 games?

Harden not even shooting 40% and still winning.

I was out at dinner and wasn't aware of Rondo' 8-second violation.

Why would anyone in the league pick up a guy who is such a ****** bag?

I believe they were a .500 team after acquiring Rondo, and had a very poor record against good teams for the entire season both with and without Rondo. Basically they dominated bad teams during a relatively easy first half of the schedule, then coasted the rest of the way as a very average team.

I think they would have a hard time beating the 3-8 seeds in the East at this point.

count me as part of the Houston contingent that genuinely likes Cuban. understand that he's an easy guy for some to hate, but his schtick is good for basketball...

it's entertaining, and that's exactly what this is meant to be, entertainment.

trying to draw a comparison for us Aggies... maybe like Mike Leach? hate him on the court, but would never pass up the opportunity for a beer with him.

Have to be honest - when I heard no Harris or Parsons, it was hard to even tune in last night.

The Mavs are in for a long, painful decline.
