Mark Cuban and another guy/co-owner? Or head coach?? Benched their 5 best players in a playoff game against the Chicago BULLS on April 7....

Shark TANK boyeeee C.U.B.A.N. wanted to lose to keep a certain player he scored from the draft last year? And to get a better position on the upcoming draft schedule this year...

Technically it's called selective cheating by benching ur 5 best players so you lose intentionally...
Mark Cuban is always looking for an angle ...lose now when you barely have any chance to win going further in the season, keep your hard earned newest player and get a waY better player in the new upcoming 2023/24 draft....

Somehow , me thinks he'll skate on this even though the NBA IS OPENING AN INVESTIGATION...HE'LL PAY SOME PEOPLE OFF...
aLLeDgEdLy ... and skate...

Another one of those DGAF issues as far as I’m concerned.

Long ago I turned my back on professional sports. I grew tired of billionaire team owners threatening communities by telling them they would move their teams to “friendlier” cities if the current host city/state refused to float bond issues to be repaid with tax dollars to build new sports venues. On top of that, I’m totally baffled why anyone would spend $300-$800 per ticket, per game to fill the pocket of those greedy basturds or the crybaby players, some of who rake in $50M or more per season.

It was a “Play In” game. Otherwise it’s a series and one game isn’t going to lose a series.

They owe the Knicks a protected pick, so they’re putting off the pick insuring they get a 1st rounder this seasons draft.

The NBA needs affirmative action for white players.

My comment was tongue in cheek. I do believe the best players should be the ones playing. I also believe the best candidates should be the ones hired... no need for affirmative action, period.
