Oh, no. Taking the Clippers to 7 is, I think, a huge achievement, which you'd know if you'd read my 1,000 posts about being patient and not expecting the Mavs to actually contend this year. I think the team was better than it should've been these last two seasons (right or wrong - that was my opinion).
The "dumpster fire" is the way the organizational aspects of this franchise have come across over the past week. Maybe I value different things than you do, but I would be really embarrassed about that if I were Cuban, or honestly, anyone who worked for the team. I think they are embarrassed, honestly.
Doesn't mean they can't fix it. I just wanted to make the distinction. You might not have been sub-tweeting me here, but if you were, I just want to point out that up until about 5 days ago I was one of the most positive people here about the Mavs. I'm all for perspective when it comes to building the on-court product.

Right, none of us "knows" anything. I agree completely.
We should all be careful to remember that. It could apply to a wide variety of topics here, not just Cuban.
