So no one is blaming Cuban?
I was listening to Dallas sports radio this afternoon, and two interesting things happened. First of all, Michael Irvin referenced the greek word for "twin" in scripture. I'm still stunned over this - anyone that listens to his show on a regular basis can probably guess why. Later in the afternoon the subject of the Mavericks' post-season collapse was brought up. Someone questioned Cuban's responsibility in the whole affair. Since Cuban took over ownership of the club, he's managed to mishandle a talented nucleus (Nash, Finley, Nowitzki), run off a great coach in D. Nelson, and run off his successor, Avery Johnson (a coach of the year). Additionally, he's traded his best young asset in D. Harris and over-invested in Dampier. Let's not forget that now the Mavs have lost two series in a row because they lack speed at the guard position. They'll head into next year with Stackhouse and Kidd on the perimeter. Terry needs more playing time, but I'm not sure where you put the guy, and regardless, he's too reticent to shoot when he's open. Something tells me the Hornets, Suns, and Lakers are licking their chops!
