ESPN.com news services

 

The NBA fined Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $200,000 for going onto the court after Game 1 of Dallas' series against the Spurs and criticizing league officials on his blog, ESPN's Jim Gray is reporting.

 

Cuban was fined $100,000 for going onto the court and another $100,000 for being critical of the league regarding the selection of playoff officials, and how to improve playoff officiating on blogmaverick.com.

 

"The NBA knows all, does all, and far be it for me to question any of this." Cuban told Gray.

 

Cuban also said that he wrote the article before the playoffs and simply reposted it after Game 1.

 

Dallas lost 87-85 in Game 1 on Sunday, but rebounded Tuesday night with a 113-91 victory to even the series at one game apiece.

Cuban's blog is actually quite good.

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

I have it bookmarked, he has a good thumb on technology...that interests me the most about it.

Cuban probably just writes all this off come tax time.

 

I don't understand the massive fine for going on the court.
