Quote:
Don Nelson is being sued by the owner of the Mavericks for using "confidential information" to beat his former team in the playoffs, and if an arbitrator agrees with this claim, then Nelson might not be allowed to coach again for Golden State.
According to John O'Connor, Nelson's San Francisco-based attorney, Cuban is claiming Nelson was still under contract with the Mavericks, and therefore he couldn't work for the Warriors.
Well this takes "being screwed" to a different level. Someone should tell him to come back reality and accept the fact that his "MVP" pulled off a choke job of historic proportions
Nelson's response: Mavs loss less to do with Nelson's coaching and more to do with not having Steve Nash

However, as best as Mr. Nelson and his attorney can figure, the now-gaping wound can be traced back to the loss of Steve Nash as point guard, a position that Mr. Nelson and his Warriors exploited in a first-round upset of the Mavericks.
Even though Mr. Nash departed in 2004, it is still affecting the Mavs. Golden State has big problems dealing with elite point guards and strong, post-up big men. That's why the Warriors went quietly against Utah in the second round of the playoffs. The Jazz had top-shelf point guard Deron Williams and all-star big man Carlos Boozer.
The Mavericks have not had a premier ball-handler since Mr. Nash left. That, plus the absence of an interior force, hurt them against the Warriors more than anything. Mr. Nelson's camp claims Mr. Nelson didn't stop Dirk Nowitzki or outcoach Avery Johnson. He merely exploited a team without a quality point guard.
