Mark Cuban can create a host of Mavericks rumors in a single breath whenever and wherever he wants. However, prior to Thursday's huge 113-107 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, Cuban had his sights focused out of house on the resurgent LA Clippers franchise.
As reported by The Dallas Morning News, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had some choice words when asked if he thoughts the Clippers played a dirty brand of basketball -- in light a technical and flagrant foul-fest which occurred the last time the two teams had met --
“I don’t know, but if you go back and look at the flagrant fouls and all that kind of stuff, I think the numbers would kind of lean in the direction that there’s been more accumulated in Clippers’ games than other,” Cuban stated.
However (as if you thought any differently), the Dallas Mavericks' outspoken owner didn't shy away when asked if he thought Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin was a big part of the perceived problem -- “Blake reminds me a lot of Shawn Bradley. That’s all I got to say.”
Shawn Bradley, the 7-foot-6 former Mavericks center, has a lasting reputation as being one of the dirtier players of his era.
Whether the Dallas Mavericks appreciate a similar type of game from an outsider's perspective is material for an entirely different story.
