    Man, I was watching the Wizards-Mavs game last night on ESPN, and there were so many bad calls on us. I swear. So much hacking, and pushing and shoving underneath the basket to box out for the rebound. Also there were plays when Gilbert Arenas went to the basket, there would always be contact on him, and no whistle. He even tried to get to the rim because he sucked from the field. Mark Cuban has a pretty big personality in the NBA, and is defensive about his Mavs squad, always reacting back to the criticsm Dallas gets. But since he has a bad temper, does he intimidate the refs to make the right calls for the Mavericks? Obviously, we don't know what would happen if the refs make the right calls but its not like Cuban will murder all of them in their sleep. What are your thoughts about this?

    I would say no. If he did, shouldn't the Mavs be undefeated and go to the free throw line 50 times a game.

    Mark Cuban is the shiz. And I doubt it the refs are imtimidated by the Mavs third string.

    If anything Mark Cuban might have the opposite effect. Some refs might get angry that Cuban calls them out.

    Fouls called at home for Dallas are no difference from home teams across the league...except the Pistons.
