His meltdown on Twitter probably won't help his case.  Seeing that these two teams won't play again this season, would the league cave to Cuban and give him a replay of the last 9 seconds of that game? Mavs are currently in 7th, but just 4 games out of 2nd in the West.

He was on NBARadio today.  Said they have a pretty good shot (TIFWIW) but said he'd only replay the game if it impacts seeding.  Nah, bruh.  If you wanna replay it, replay it.  You don't get to choose.

Would Cuban like oral with that too? Wtf. What’s this guy’s problem damn man take ur boy wonder and leave us alone u bug u dork. See that’s the one thing Cuban is really truly pissed off about. No amount of money will ever be enough to make him cool, he’s a dork by nature. He walks like a dork, talks like a dork and prolly F...nevermind pg13 here.

 

Excuse the anger I’m in the desert with a certain someone.

We’ve seen countless blatantly wrong calls in recent years, but I believe our game vs the Heat 12 years ago was the last successful protest (if you want to call it that). And in this case I haven’t seen any proof that the wrong call was even made. It boggles my mind that this protest exists and anyone is taking it seriously.

He has a legit argument about the officiating 'establishment', but this is the wrong hill for him to die on.

It was an awkward call but the right one.

Right.  If most people don't even think it was the wrong call how can you replay.  Replay is a bigger injustice than if the it really was the wrong call...which it wasn't....obviously.   i actually don't mind cuban that much but this is just silly.

I doubt he wins it. Cuban is famous for his meltdowns against the referees; and according to some Mavs fans, Carlisle had him put a muzzle on it some years ago.

The goal tending was a bad call by the Refs; but taking the basket away from Collins would be a injustice in my opinion. He had left his feet before the whistle blew and no one was beating him to that ball. Game over.

Just think!  This would be so exciting!!  If Cuban wins:

Replay final 9 seconds of the game.  Only players who played or was on the bench in original game can play.  Dallas must travel to Atlanta.  Both teams must dress and be allowed to warm up.  All fans who were there for the game get in free.  Then, they must decide, will this be on TV?  If not, I'm mad.  I want to watch this 9 second game, live!

Will concessions be open?  If not, why not?  Also, this 9 second game should only be played when Atlanta is already at home and doesn't already have another game scheduled.  Musn't  play two games in one day!  You can bet the players union will forbid that.

Jump ball at center court to begin this 9 second game.  Hawks have a 2 point lead.  What if, after all this, Atlanta loses the game?  What will it really matter?  I know.  Took a well earned victory away.  Mad?  You bet!  Furious!!  But, except for this, what does this do to the Hawks?

Jumpball would have to be on our end of the floor actually, right?

First, Cubes addressed the "muzzle" thing on the radio.  Basically said he backed off because of assurances provided by the league that they were going to institute changes.  Out of respect for them, he stood down and allowed them the opportunity to make good on their promises.  His recent outburst was due to the lack of fulfilling what they said they were going to do.

Had nothing to do with Carlisle who has become a vastly overrated entity, but that's just my $0.03.

The goaltend was a missed call but not a "bad call".  Their ruling was that since, upon replay it was shown to be the incorrect call, the blowing of the whistle had to be treated as an inadvertent whistle.  Thus the play, as it played out, was allowed to stand.

Seems pretty fair to me so I'm not sure why folks are all confused and outraged.

Most of the people confused and outraged are from the Maverick's side of the ball. They are in a tight playoff race and want every win they can get; so this makes sense to me. They have nothing to lose with the protest and a lot to possibly gain.

No one wants to be the 7th or 8th seed and possibly facing the Clippers or Lakers in the 1st round.

Getting a different ruling on the blowing of the whistle being treated as an inadvertent whistle is what they have to get.  They want a ruling that once the whistle blows the play is dead. 

I'm sure they are also hoping for a ruling that whoever has the best Euro on the bench at the time gets to inbound the ball with that Euro in the game, even if he was sitting it out.

When is the nba going to put this foolishness to bed?  What's taking so long?

Screw the mavs.  Ridiculous appeal.  I think we should appeal any random thing on our next game with them.  Of course they won't beat us for a few years so we'll have forgotten by then.

[macdaddy]

I"ll add it's just absurd that you would appeal a call that has no clear cut rule interpretation and isn't an obvious missed call.    I'm guessing the mavs evidence is that 'Cuby didn't like it'

[AHF]

There are clear missed calls every game and no basis to protest those.

Any update?

It seems like the NBA is waiting to see what happens to Dallas in the playoff race to make a decision.
