I am being cyber-hammered by Mark Cuban. I'm being rebuked by a man who doesn't like my e-mailed assessment that he "confronted" an opposing player,
J.R. Smith, and exchanged words in "the heat of battle" Tuesday night. He's ticked at my premise that he shouldn't have been anywhere near Smith at the frenzied end of the first half, even if the Denver guard had flung a swing-and-miss elbow at one of Cuban's players.
Why confront him, Mark? Why not let the game officials handle it?
Or your coach, Rick Carlisle? Why you, a mogul worth $2.6 billion?
"Confront? Are u serious? There was no confrontation. Get your (bleep) together, Jay," he writes back. "Ask me an informed question w some substance."
