The facts are that after Cuban said what he did, we start playing vets and won a game. I would be my savings account, sorry not a lot, that if Cuban had NOT said anything, we would have played rookies/G-league players and lost that game. However, like the center of a tootsie roll pop ... we'll never know.

I don't see Cuban being someone who backs down that easily. Like when has he ever done that? You're talking about a guy who fought the SEC for years, spending 10 times what he would of in fines to pay his attorneys to fight a case, where all he had to do was take a slap on the wrist. He felt he was right, he was, and he fought tooth & nail.
I just don't see that.
Carlisle is maybe the only person just as stubborn as Cuban. Well before the tanking comments, Carlisle always had a sarcastic response for the media when asked about rotations & tanking. He's always had an attitude about it. Why is it unreasonable to think he's just on a power trip?
