Follow Us
The Los Angeles Lakers have had a lot of tough days this season. They can add another one to their list as their hard-fought game against the Dallas Mavericks ended in a loss. The Mavericks won the game in double OT, thanks to their superstar guard Luka Doncic. But that wasn’t the highlight of the show. The Mavs owner, Mark Cuban had some interesting things to say after attending the game at Staples Center. Long story short, fans let the Mavs owner have it as he was trolled for complaining mid-game.
There were a lot of controversial calls in the game, and Cuban couldn’t wait for the game to be over. Well, so couldn’t the fans as they had enough of it. While most of them agreed with the bad officiating claims, they also believed the Mavericks weren’t the only ones suffering from bad refereeing.

Mark Cuban sat courtside in a tense affair between the Lakers and the Mavericks. Throughout the game, the teams fought hard, and some would add that bad decisions plagued both teams. Cuban agreed to the bad decisions part but was adamant that Doncic had to face the brunt of it. “Stan van gundy is absolutely right. Worst officiated game. Luka gets no respect. Unreal,” Cuban tweeted.
Fans were far from agreeing to anything that the Mavs owner said as they slammed him on Twitter. Almost no one could digest Cuban’s tweet complaining about the game despite winning the encounter.

Stop complaining lol. Refs shafted both teams

you're right, that was a foul at the end of regulation.

It is. But are you really gonna overlook Tim Hardaway hitting Troy on the wrist? Or lebron getting hit in the head 3 times? Stop crying mark. I love you but this is the worst take. You're playing against the team with 2 tanks who get 0 call. Luka has been played way softer

DUDE. This game shouldn’t have even gone to OT. How can the refs not call that foul on the man’s at the end of regulation. So obvious

The game was tight, and many fans disagreed with Cuban’s statements. Troy Brown Jr.’s attempt at the end of the fourth quarter was called a foul by many, but not the referees. Incidentally, there were many instances in the match where Doncic was not provided a clear foul. Cuban and many people believe that the game wouldn’t have gone to OT if the fouls on Doncic were spotted.
