Why do they do this?
It's like they are affraid of games being blowouts so they make the refs get involved or something.
I just don't understand why the league wants to screw teams so bad.
You knew it was bad when it came out that connected people would bet in Vegas based on what ref crew was covering certain teams.
Obviously, the Crawford crew that we always suspected as Mavs fans turned out to be one of them. The odds where off the charts against Dallas when they covered the Mavs games. Stats backed it up, but to see that it was even being bet on in Vegas was pretty disturbing.
Like it or not, Cuban turned out to be right...and the league has even made changes based on some of his recommendations.
Luckily, he has toned it down now that he's a family man, and that it became obvious that certain refs really did have it out for him for exposing them (Crawford being one of them). LOL. That book that vcame out says crawfor used to be at the bar braging that the Mavs would not win a playoff game if he had anything to do with it. Must not be real proof of that or he would be in jail right now (that book was a bit like the jopse Canseco book that turns out to be mostly true but was ignored due to the mesaanger).
Cuban's rants back in the day were detrimental to the the team. Now, he's had no major fines in nearly 5 years. I guess everyone grows up at least a little at some point.
