Dampier questions Carl Landry's toughness

[djohn2oo8]

The last time the Mavericks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=dal) and Rockets (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=hou) tangled, Houston forward Carl Landry (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3217) left some of his teeth in Dirk Nowitzki's (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=609) elbow. The nasty collision left Nowitzki with stitches, while Landry required emergency, five-hour dental work.

Both players missed one game, returning four nights later. Coincidentally, both players scored 27 points in their respective games. Nowitzki continues to wear a big, puffy elbow pad for protection. Landry showed up with a a set of brand-new chompers. Pretty tough huh?

Mavericks center Erick Dampier (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=181), not known as much of a trash talker, didn't seem impressed on Wednesday with Landry's quick recovery.

"Is he tough? We don’t know if he’s tough," Dampier said. "We just know he got his teeth knocked out. I mean there’s still a question about his toughness. We’ll see how he plays tomorrow."

wow. This really came out of nowhere.

[iggypop123]

was homer simpson tough because he could take 10 million hits to the head and not fall down?

[badfish22]

A rocketfan hearing Landry isn't tough is like a devout christian hearing Jesus was a complete douche.

Ericka Dampier is talking about toughness? Landry was shot and he came back to play. He lost teeth and was bleeding in the mouth, but he came back to play. While Dirk was rolling on the floor, Carl was calm as can be.

This coming from a guy who faked a sickness...:lmao

[badfish22]

Erick is an idiot for saying this. Don't really get what he was trying to accomplish
Heres the rest of the article, that rocketfan didnt put.


Of course, Dampier has a bit of a score to settle with the Rockets. He was ejected in the 116-108 overtime loss at the AAC on Dec. 18 after he was flagrantly fouled by Houston guard Aaron Brooks during the overtime. The refs reviewed the play to see if Dampier had swung an elbow at Brooks after the play. They determined he had and nailed Dampier with a technical foul, his second of the game, resulting in an automatic ejection.

Houston, we have a problem. The refs actually never should have reviewed the play because by rule a Flagrant 1 foul is non-reviewable. So Dampier should not have garnered the technical and he shouldn't have been ejected.
How does he have a score to settle with the Rockets? It was the dumbass officials that cheated us in that game.


This coming from a guy who faked a sickness...:lmao

Wow.......spursfan ladies and gentlemen.

[PGDynasty24]

Erica Dampier is questioning someone's toughness,oh the hypocrisy

[gaKNOW!blee]

I think he would know, he IS the second best center in the league.

[ElNono]

Since when Dampier gives interviews? I didn't think he was important enough...

[hater]

is Dampier the guy that gets raped every single time he faces Shaq?

Dampier is known for this. Last time he called out TP and completely shut him down. Now onto Landry. All part of the plan.

[MiamiHeat]

didn't this guy get punked in the media several times by shaq?

[badfish22]

didn't this guy get punked in the media several times by shaq?

He changed his name from Erick to Erica so I guess...

Many Shaq nuthuggers still beat off to it... as you can see

[DPG21920]

That was when Dampier was getting a little too big for his britches. Shaq poked at him. Still kind of shocked said that. Seems like he broke the "code".

He shouldn't have said anything, but at least the last time Dampier talked shit, he did actually back it up -

I don't think I'll be embedding Carl Landry's teeth into my elbow any time soon.

You'll just pull the Internet Tough Guy routine when someone else does.

[Shank]

Are you sure about that?

Hey, it's Spur fan. Asking them to pay attention is too onerous.

:rolleyes

Dude just called out Landry. Landry is going to be fired up. I bet he burns Dampier for over 20 pts if he gets his minutes.

[robbie380]

dampier is a cunt

[endrity]

It's not smart to call out Landry, dude is tough, but if he backs it up like he did against Parker than I am all for this. Plus the Mavs have a habit of sleepwalking through games they should win, they need something to energize them a bit.

As for the Spurfans calling Damp soft, whatever. The guy has a lot of things to dislike, but he is one of the strongest and toughest players in the league. I wish he could play like this for two more years, it's hard to find a 7footer who protects the rim like he does.

[TheMACHINE]

Dampier calling Landry not tough is like DrHouse saying he is leaving cuz of the trolling on this board.

[The Franchise]

Carl is gonna have that overpaid bitch fouled out in the first half.

[robbie380]

an away game against a good rox team is one they "should" win?:downspin:

[djohn2oo8]

I think he means that if Ariza continues to throw up enough bricks that he can supply River Oaks with 10 new houses, then yes they "should" win

[Basketballgirl25]

Dampier saying this:lol:lol, proves he is just like all other NBA players, they just talk to talk. No one should really care what any nba player says, they all talk bullshit anyway:toast

[Indazone]

I think he means that if Ariza continues to throw up enough bricks that he can supply River Oaks with 10 new houses, then yes they "should" win

Rockets and Adleman going with the law of averages. If Ariza continues to jack em up, eventually he might start hitting 39 percent of his shots instead of 38 percent and maybe eventually get it up to 40 percent. :rolleyes

[Ron Ron Artest]

It's not smart to call out Landry, dude is tough, but if he backs it up like he did against Parker than I am all for this.


Im kind of confused of how dampier backed up his talking against parker.... the entire spurs team sucked that game and Parker was the leading scorer and Dampier had like 3 points and 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. Sounds like a typical Dampier game to me. Parker was the high scorer for the Spurs so I am just wondering how that means Dampier backed up his talk... please explain. I missed the game so maybe more happened in the game but judging by the boxscore its not like Parker did terrible.

[Ron Ron Artest]

not to mention Parker only played 21 minutes and still managed 12 points, 4 rebs, and 3 assists.

[KSeal]

The first step is going from 37 percent to 38 :lol

[badfish22]

Well last time we played an away game against a "good" rox team the final score was 130-99 so............:downspin:

[MavDynasty]

not to mention Parker only played 21 minutes and still managed 12 points, 4 rebs, and 3 assists.

parker 5-14 after going off in game 2(?)

Poor Dirk, I mean such an amazing talent surrounded by such shitty talent, it is really a shame...And somebody try to encourage Dampier to wash his sandy vagina

[MavDynasty]

Poor Dirk, I mean such an amazing talent surrounded by such shitty talent, it is really a shame...And somebody try to encourage Dampier to wash his sandy vagina

well dirk played like ass all 2005 playoffs against the rox but that didnt stop em from 116-76

[djohn2oo8]

well dirk played like ass all 2005 playoffs against the rox but that didnt stop em from 116-76

And still got to be "Underachievers of the Decade"

[badfish22]

Poor Dirk, I mean such an amazing talent surrounded by such shitty talent, it is really a shame...And somebody try to encourage Dampier to wash his sandy vagina

Way to change the subject, 130-99 in Houston.

[Double-Up]

It's kinda like Prince questioning Tupac's manhood...just ain't right.

[Many PackYao]

Way to change the subject, 130-99 in Houston.
I have no doubt the Mavs are gonna win tonight. Mavs are a better team. As a Rocketfan I hope I'm wrong though. On the other hand, Mavfans should just admit to themselves that Dirk can't lead them to a title.

I always lmao when Rocketfan tries to talk trash about Dirk having no rings. Houstons franchise player for the 2nd half of this decade hasn't even gotten out of the first round :lmao
And Yao has only been out once :lmao

The Spurs were getting so completely dominated in that game that Pop pulled all the starters, Parker included, in the 3rd quarter. Dampier's interior defense was a huge factor.

And your team got underachievers of the decade over those two, how does that make you feel? butthurt much?

[badfish22]

And your team got underachievers of the decade over those two,

When did that become official? Did David Stern announce it? When is the award ceremony?

[djohn2oo8]

When did that become official? Did David Stern announce it? When is the award ceremony?

You want Stern to officially declare the Mavs underachievers? Why proclaim what we already know

[Ron Ron Artest]

hahah ok... I find it hard to believe Dampier was the reason the Spurs got shut down.

Dampier needs to just stop opening his mouth cause every time he does, something stupid comes out of it. Maybe he should actually back up his toughness comments with more than 3 points and 5 rebounds and 1 block...... best center in the west?

Dirk put up a monster game too... they all showed some toughness out there tonight.

The Rockets is the wrong team to question toughness. They are the toughest team in the league considering the players we have. We have won 20 games on toughness so Dampier has no clue what the hell he is talking about. The Mavs are soft and everyone knows it. Its time to stop denying it.

[Roxsfan]

Ha, fuck Ericka. What douche faggot ass motherfucker.

[Muser]

Game 3 sucked period, Spurs couldn't hit a shot and Mavs just outplayed them. We had Ime freakin Udoka playing 20 + minutes we sucked that hard.

[Ron Ron Artest]

I agree... It had nothing to do with Dampiers "interior defense." The entire spurs team sucked judging by the box score and the amount of minutes played by the bench. When the bench plays more minutes than the starters, you know its because its just a terrible game all around.

I refuse to give Dampier any credit for this or anything he does. Except maybe not being able to back up his dumbass comments season after season.

Wow.......spursfan ladies and gentlemen.

wow.. a mavs fan trying to justify a loss, what do you know... sorry ass owner, team, right down to the fans!! fuckin losers

[lennyalderette]

didnt erika say he was going to lay parker out next time he drove in the paint? (last year) never saw that happen!!! cant even follow through against a pg, blair can probably knock that moron out

[Why So Serious]

dampier knows what real toughness is.. taking it from the back from shaq and every other big man.

didn't this guy get punked in the media several times by shaq?

Damp actually outplayed Shaq 3 games of the NBA finals ... If it wasnt for Zo Mavs win the frontcourt matchup with Dirk, & damp too bad Wade destroyed (with refs) ALL of the perimeter players for the Mavs ...

[spursfan1000]

Dampier is a chump.

[dirk4mvp]

Dampier is a chump.

He'd be a more viable option at C than that fat ginger with t rex arms for the Spurs.

[monosylab1k]

I agree... It had nothing to do with Dampiers "interior defense." The entire spurs team sucked judging by the box score and the amount of minutes played by the bench.

Well considering you didn't even watch the game maybe you should just shut the fuck up.

Or maybe you'd like to give us some detailed analysis of Bill Russell's first pro game.

[Ron Ron Artest]

I didnt realize I was giving a detailed analysis of the game... I said judging by the box score and the fact that the bench for the spurs played more minutes than the starters that I could make a wild guess that it had nothing to do with Dampiers "interior defense."

Dampier blows and can never back up anything he says so I am having trouble thinking that he did this time either.
