The Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks for their 65th win of the season on Friday night. Mavs owner Mark Cuban was less than pleased about some of the calls(or lack thereof) made by the refs down the stretch of the game, and took to Twitter during the game to rant about it.
Cuban first singled out referee Derrick Stafford for a travel call on Dallas center Salah Mejri:
Derrick Stafford has mailed it in. That travel was not a travel and the no calls. Rick needs to get a tech

Cuban tweeted this one after Cavs center Anderson Varejao clipped Mavs power forward Dwight Powell in the neck with his elbow:
A non basketball play where a guy hits another around the neck. . Of course it's not a flagrant. Why would it be

For his final complaint, Cuban responded when Powell was whistled for his 4th foul of the night:
Dwight Powell gets more fouls called on him for doing nothing than anyone in the nba.

Cuban’s known for ripping refs without caring about the consequences. He’s done so many times before, so this time doesn’t particularly come as a surprise. However, he’s sure to be fined by the league, particularly since he singled out a referee by name.
