1:09 DAL - Flagrant foul (type 1) on E. Najera

I guess he did exactly what he's paid to do...This guy should get ejected from the league.

I would guess he's definitely getting suspended for next game, I would be shocked if he wasn't..

It wasn't necessarily dirty, it was just a horrible defensive play.

He threw both arms in a circular arc at the ball. The only problem is, he's playing at D-II college speed and Parker is an all-star speed PG.

Not sure if the league will review that play...it was flagrant 1, which doesn't trigger automatic review...the league may review it anyways given what he did in Game 4, but probably not...

After he made his initial play, he went to the head with his other arm, AGAIN.

Yes, they desperately need an enforcer.

Najera is not useless from a Mav perspective, his vicious play has left a mark on this series that Spurs have yet to answer.

I can't think of any remaining playoff teams that would allow a scrub to attack one of their main players for 2 GAMES IN A ROW and not do anything about it.

We all hope so, but it remains to be seen if we can win a tough playoff series without a more physical presence.

Obviously Bowen filled this role in the past. He wasn't an enforcer per se, but he would have responded in more indirect, but no less physical, sneaky ways.

No denying the street ball dimension of the playoffs. Can't let anyone push you around or it's going to take a toll your team morale and competitiveness IMO.

He won't take crap off of anybody though. I have liked him since we first drafted him. Missed him while he was in Denver. Plays hard all the time. Kind of hard not to like him if he plays for your team. I like that he is "sending messages".

Najera nears flagrant suspension (http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks)
By Tim MacMahon

Eduardo Najera is one flagrant foul away from an automatic suspension.

The Mavs' enforcer was called for a flagrant 1 after poking Tony Parker in the eye while enforcing his personal playoff no-layup rule during the second quarter of Game 5. That came on the heels of a flagrant 2 in Game 4, when he yanked Manu Ginobili down from behind with a WWE-style neckwrap 47 seconds after checking into the game.

That gives him three flagrant foul points during the playoffs. Another flagrant 1 would result in a one-game suspension. Najera would be suspended two games if he's called for another flagrant 2.

"I just can't go wild like I usually can," Najera said. "Just pick and choose my spots. Obviously, I'm still going to have my rule, no lay-up rule. I'm sure they have it as well. But, you know I just have to be a little smarter than that."

However, Najera contends that his hack on Parker shouldn't have been called a flagrant foul. He noted that Parker initiated the contact and that the rake across the eyes was unintentional.

"They do flop a lot," Najera said. "He was on the floor like he got shot or something. It makes it look worse than it really is."

The league automatically reviews every flagrant foul and has the option of reclassifying it. Whether that happens with the Parker poke or not, Najera is prepared to play the enforcer role for the rest of the series, potential suspension be darned.

"I’m not worried about that," Najera said. "If it happens, it happens. We’ve got to stay aggressive."

You know, it'd be one thing if Najera was just playing hard and these flagrants were simply the byproduct of his extra effort. Problem is, he knows EXACTLY what he's doing, and the league seems to have no problem with it. Here's this guy with a self-proclaimed "no-layup rule," who's picked up flagrants in two consecutive games, and then turns around and unrepentantly rationalizes it all away by accusing the other team of flopping?

I can understand the whole "enforcer" role, but when Horry can get canned for two games for a hip check that was benign by comparison, and Garnett's elbow merits a one gamer, the fact that Najera is even still seeing court time is a slap in the face to any unilateral interpretation of the rules. That is a crying shame.

Purposely going after an eye? Are you serious? That's the way it is around here, it's like the fucking Telephone Game. A foul turns into a flagrant, turns into an ejection, turns into premeditated murder and a conspiracy against the NBA.

Nah, he's just SuperDirty. I don't see Najera being able to match up against any of our key players. I wouldn't be surprised if Cuban demanded RC to play him just for the sole purpose of taking out one of our guys.

To be fair andto bring up Bonner again, if he did that to Dirk, there would be a lot Mavs fans saying the same things that you are calling out Spurs fans for.

I do agree with you about Najera....I don't think he sat on the bench and thought..."hmm...I think I will go for an eye tonight" nor do I think Carlisle told him to hurt someone. However, any contact he makes in this series will be more scrutinized because of the flagrant 2. I don't doubt he was trying to give a hard foul but that is playoff basketball. What he did to Manu was dirty but not necessarily pre-meditated. Last night was a hard foul but did qualify for a flagrant 1. Even the Mavs announcers agreed with that.

I think he's being told to bring hard fouls when he checks into the game. He's never been known as a dirty player and, contrary to popular belief, guys rarely try to kill each other when out there. No one wants to blow out some other dude's ACL or send him to the hospital. Sure, they'll hit you hard, but there's rarely devious intent.

Najera said he boiled over in Game 4 after watching Dirk get scraped a couple times. So, for that game, it's obvious what happened. I think he's just trying to bring the wood however he can. It's almost all he has left, anyway. It's not hard to play around Najera at this point in his career.

I agree, i don't think that these guys are out to kill one another. However, the two flagrant fouls committed by this guy could've very well resulted in career ending injuries. Just saying, there's no place in the league for that kind of bs.

I understand that when guys are on the down-side of their career, we see more & more dirty play from them. Bruce, Horry, KG, J Oneil, just to name a few, but that's no need to hard-hack those who are surging and @ the peak of their careers.

Najera: "I'm just trying to prove a point that we can do the same things they are doing."

Najera is going to get destroyed before the series is over. You don't fuck with Tony and Manu like that :)

lol Spurs fans complaining when the shoe is on the other foot.

I seem to recall Spurs fans cheering when Horry gave David West a cheap shot in 2008.

Then there's the time he took out a point guard.

And then there's Bruce Bowen, who likes drop-kicking people in the face and putting his foot under jumpshooters.

Not complaining dude. Horry & Bruce also made quite a few dirty plays, we all agree. Again, no room for none of that bullshit. But does that make it right for another player to go out and do the same? My My My....i guess Cube & the Mavs fans must really hate us, to purposely injure our boys because of what what went down in PHX? Damn, i sense a little envy.

Are you kidding me? Najera has always played hard and fouled hard...when he gets PT. Najera has nothing left but to foul hard and not give a shit if he injures someone. He is an energy guy and is pulling cheap shots a la Artest whenever he can. It's bs, Spurs fan or not.
