Mavericks...They can do it, but they aren't acting like it!

There are still 2 games left to prove that the Mavericks are the best team in the NBA. They act like they blew it last night.

In some ways they did. They blew the oppertunity to go up 3 games to 2 - and they completely lost their composure. I saw players make BAD mental mistakes, saw coaches make mistakes, and saw an owner make a mistake. The players probably regret it, the coach probably regrets it, but the owner is proud of it. If they had to do it all over again - Howard wouldn't have called a timout. Avery would have been calmer trying to signal the timout and would have been better with the press after the game. But not Cuban. He was so proud he lost his composure he backed it up by bragging that he thinks it's funny when his kid cusses. Money only takes you so far. It can buy you a lot of things...but it can't buy respect or class.

I agree with 95% of the things that Mark Cuban does - but every once and a while, I just wish he would say nothing at all. Sometimes, that can say more than any cuss word you throw out there.

Win with class...Lose with class.

But most important of all. Win 2 more games.

I agree with what you commented on Mark's blog. He's trying to argue that there's no such thing as class basically, and for him, sure, he can get away with being classless. For the rest of us Joe Blows if we act like him it severely limits our friendships to the lowest common denominator as well as our careers. Plus it's just stupid and brainless. "Getting a reaction" is what immature kids do.
