Am I supposed to be big mad about this? I have no idea if that's actually true, but I can't imagine you'd lie about it, so taking your word for it, my reaction is just and?
I get it. The Mavs were a dominant team for a long time with Dirk. In a stretch where the Mavs were winning 70% of their games, they went an amazing 1-18 in games where Dan Crawford was a ref. That being statistically up and up is nearly impossible. Yet do I believe despite how much Stern clearly hated Cuban, that he was instructing Crawford to screw Dallas? I do not. Do I think the 06 Finals were stolen from Dallas by the refs? I absolutely do not. That whole season was over-officiated, Dirk shot almost as many FT's as Wade during that playoffs and Wade certainly more of an attacking player.
