If The Mav's Lose Tonight It's Definitely Not Their Fault And Especially Not Mark Cuban's

From ESPN:
Danny Crawford is the lead official of the crew that will work Tuesday night's Game 2 in the Dallas Mavericks' first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers. That will make many Mavs fans cringe, given the franchise's miserable track record in playoff games worked by Crawford.

The Mavs have a 2-16 record in playoff games officiated by Crawford, including 16 losses in the last 17 games. Dallas is 48-41 in the rest of their playoff games during the ownership tenure of Mark Cuban, who has been fined millions of dollars in the last 11 years for publicly complaining about officiating.

Well that's good. This way if the Mavericks lose we can blame it on the officials. So if you look at that way this is no lose situation.
