DeShawn Stevenson promises that the Mavs won’t be punked when he’s on the floor.
“We want to win a championship,” Stevenson said. “We don’t want to fight and do all that. At the end of the day, we’re basketball players, but as long as me and Tyson are on that court, we ain’t gonna get punked.”
Chandler agrees that it’s up to him and Stevenson to set a physical, aggressive, energetic tone. The big man basically shrugs off all Barnes’ barking.
“There’s been so much talked about throughout our entire season about being punked and being soft, but to me, we’re basketball players so how much punking can you really do?” Chandler said. “It’s all about how hard you get out there and play. When the other team gets aggressive, do you back down or do you stand up and get more aggressive?”
