would you please pause for a second.... and think, really really think, about what would be involved for stern/nba to maintain a long run ref conspiracy to knock Cuban down to his knees.
It is whack enough to think about what be required for the NBA front office to overtly influence a specific key game (the potential reward versus the potential cost is pretty miniscule). Do you really think it is possible to reign in the number of refs required to screw the mavs REPEATEDLY over many years. Look at oligopoly game theory on what happens to the probability of successful collusion when the number of participants increases. there is absolutely ZERO chance that there wouldn't be ONE ref that realizes how much HE PERSONALLY could advance himself by being the individual to blow the cover on this.
