What exactly would come out of this?
THERES NO WAY
The Luka whining has transcended the court now
lmfaooooo
If so, the Lakers should file for those 4 losses
what losing to the road warriors does to a team
The refs are terrible and also this is crybaby shit
Cuban fighting harder for this than he did for Brunson
What about the non-call for Lamb when he got trucked, or calling a foul on Poole when there was no possession of the ball and he tipped it in the air? It’s basketball dude. Why would you protest the game. You were down 5 with 1 second left anyways
I demand a royal rumble to determine the real winner
Probably won’t pass. I remember that one very obvious Harden dunk that wasn’t counted and would’ve affected the game, and that wasn’t overturned either.
[NBA Referee’s]: We will have a sleepless night tonight
If the Warriors knew that they were only up 3, they would have tried to defend Bullock a little harder. Kinda bullshit.
Take your L and move on
Morey tried this when refs (criminals) said Harden’s dunk didn’t go in. It’s not gonna work. Just gotta eat that L
Cuban only doing this because he said he would do it on a 2 point game. Bullock hitting that meaningless 3 did this lol
Am I getting this right.. the 3rd quarter?! They had every chance to win this game in the 4th and didn’t but they want to blame a 3rd quarter mistake lol. The NBA didn’t entertain a protest from LEBRON when he was clearly fouled in the last second against the Celtics early this year but the Mavs want to protest a call from the 3rd quarter. That’s hilarious.
They had a whole quarter to make overcome a mistake that cost them 2 points lmao. Mark Cuban and the Mavs are such babies.
We’re such a sorry ass team
Warriors should file a counter protest for this sequence:

Ref calls it Warriors possession.
Ref calls timeout Mavericks.
Looney gets clarification from the ref.
Christian Wood gets clarification from the ref.
Lamb got tackled and led to a Mavs 3 point, and then the green rebounding foul. Also DiVincenzo being in the proximity of a falling Mavs gave them 2 free throws. Stop Mark, please.

If Dallas thought it was their ball…why the f*ck were all 5 of them defending THEIR OWN BASKET! They would have at least had people down there taking the ball out.
This is just bullshit cover to hide the fact that an NBA team forgot which side of the court they were on.
They thought it was Mavs ball so they…all lined up in the back court with nobody to inbound the ball? That’s the story they are going with?
It seems a lot more likely the knew it was Warriors ball and forgot what goal they were supposed to defend.
Dallas Karens
Cuban’s story is whack. Even assuming what he says is true, NOTHING explains why there was not a single Mavs player back at the baseline to inbound the ball. The Mavs fucked up and want to blame someone else.
edit: watching a link to a longer replay, 35 of Dallas even comes over to the ref after Looney to confirm the calls. The entire GS bench is celebrating the call. Why on earth would Dallas think they have the ball?
