Mark Cuban gets amnesia, how can he keep the Mavericks?

Was/is this move in the best interest of Basketball.

Anyone still think the NBA is beyond fixes?

From another thread:

Its interesting:

When the Lakers attempt 18 more free throws than the Kings in a Conference Finals game, it's a clear sign that the game is rigged.

When the Pacers attempt 22 more free throws than the Heat in a Conference Finals game, it's a clear sign that the refs were calling the game fairly.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.   

Wait til Tuesday, if we miss the top 3 it's a clear sign the league is rigging things against us, but if we get in the top 3 we just got lucky in a fair draw (EDIT: Unless the Lakers also get a better top 3 pick, in which case the draw was rigged but only for their spot, not ours.  This stuff can get complicated).

Also, from that article:

The bravado behind Flagg?s assertions that he?d definitely win a case against the NBA over referee calls is the height of ridiculousness. It wasn?t about the ?Golden Goose.? There was nothing there.

There was no fix worth investigating, no lawsuit worth chasing down. The Mavs lost three very close games against a championship team because both their players and coaches failed to adapt on the fly, and they were blown out in another game that saw Dirk Nowitzki shoot 2 of 14 from the floor.

It wasn?t the Golden Goose that cost Dallas that championship. We remember.

It has been for years.  Time after calls are blown and series ruined and the same bum refs still have a job.   Most jobs I have had you had to do your job folks.   I suppose they do at the behest of the league.

I 'd love to see them clean house and get all new refs.  There are a few good ones.   But Mr.  Joey Crawford has been around too long.
