So this is the NBA officiating equivalent of an air traffic controller falling asleep at his desk, pretty much. Referee Ken Mauer is physically present here, but mentally he’s checked out of the hotel and his hailing a cab. WTF, Ken?
This isn’t only a travel, but also a double-dribble — and the only way it could have been any closer to Mauer is if it had occurred in his own pants.
This infuriated Mark Cuban, and it wasn’t even a Mavericks’ game. It was the Nets and Clippers, which Cuban happened to be watching on TV.
