DALLAS (AP) – The NBA slapped Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a $25,000 fine Sunday for publicly criticizing the officials after Denver’s 103-101 win over Dallas.

Cuban used the Twitter online social network to complain after Friday night’s game that Denver’s J.R. Smith was not called for coming off the bench to taunt Antoine Wright after he missed a shot near the Nuggets bench.

Cuban said in another posting Sunday that he “can’t say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does.”

In an earlier meeting of the two teams, the Mavericks owner was fined $25,000 after becoming upset about a foul that wasn’t called on Smith. Cuban offered to donate the money to whatever charity Smith chose, then suggested he’d give it to the fund for a gruesomely injured hockey player.

Cuban is right, tweeting just made the NBA 25,000 dollars richer. What does David Stern do with all Cuban’s fines? He probably puts them in a cookie jar for a rainy day. That’s how Terez handles his swearing problem. F*ck Yea! -TO

Cuban is now on my list to support my children’s stage play GOING ON A LION HUNT, 10,000 names, 10,000 public schools to introduce my FIRST LADY in the caliber she deserves. Thanks for the addition, and sorry about your lack of freedom of expression in the fast lane.
