Jason Terry wants entire Thunder bench

[Danny.Zhu]

:downspin:


DALLAS -- Jason Terry outperformed the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, Lamar Odom, last series. Now he goes up against "The Beard," Oklahoma City Thunder second-year sixth man James Harden.

But Terry, never one to think small or keep his thoughts to himself, is thinking big picture and talking about it.

"I’m trying to outperform their entire bench," Terry said after Monday's practice. "That’s what I do."

Surely, Harden and other Thunder reserves such as guard Eric Maynor and forward Nick Collison will find that interesting.

"Whichever bench comes to play and outplays the other one," Terry said, "the other team has the advantage."

The Mavericks' bench was among the highest-scoring in the league all season and that hasn't changed in the playoffs. Dallas mopped up L.A. to the tune of 198-89 in bench points, clobbering the Lakers 86-37 in the series-clinching Game 4. In fact, the Mavs' bench, boosted considerably when Terry and Peja Stojakovic are draining the 3-ball and J.J. Barea is penetrating, equaled the Lakers' total scoring output in the final game.

Terry is the Mavs' second-leading scorer at 18.3 points a game. Harden is the Thunder's third-leading scorer, averaging 12.4 points game. Terry said Harden reminds him of a recent foe.

"James Harden reminds me a lot of [Portland's] Wes Matthews the way they impact the game," Terry said. "They can get hot from 3, they're always looking to be on the attack."

There is one obvious difference: The thick beard that wraps around Harden's face and jets -- no pun intended -- several feet, or maybe an inch or two, out from his chin. It would seem rather effective in keeping defenders at least a beard's distance away.

"I'll get as close as I can," Terry said.

Shorty just jinxed himself and the Mavericks, Mavs fans can't seem to get a break this decade :lol

Dude's mouth never stops running, does it?

[Axe Murderer]

what was wrong with what he said?

[BlackSwordsMan]

wow a spur fan from china

[Dex]

what was wrong with what he said?

One person is going to outperform their five bench players?

If I was one of those five people on the Thunder bench, I might take that as bit of a challenge.

Still, it's little to do about nothing. Jason Terry adding fuel to the fire is like water being wet.

I still think Dallas takes it.

[dirk4mvp]

This isn't an outlandish statement from the JET. He's already outplayed another team's bench by himself this postseason.

JET makes people on this forum more butthurt than any other player in sports history, it's hilarious :lol

:wow

[MmP]

he outplays every bench excepts when manu plays 6th man.

[lurker]

People are desperate for drama. There is a difference between "trying to" and "going to."

[Red Hawk #21]

:lol at some of you getting upset about this. Was that really that terrible of a statement?

[Fpoonsie]

"I am trying to win the game."


What an asshole. Doesn't he know the OTHER team wants to win the game, too? This is just the kinda bullshit I expect from that disrespectful, trash-talking douchebag.

[DJ Mbenga]

no that was Sports illustrated that did that

[crc21209]

:lol Oh Terry, he seemed to be just fine staying quiet throughout the Playoffs so far, until now. Now he'll go 2-13 in his next game....

[Cessation]

How can you be upset at a retard talking? Why would you add extra motivation to the opposing team, and make things more difficult than necessary? Considering how much the mavs have choked in the last decade, you'd think Ratface would learn by now.

Don't u mean turtle head?

:lol

[mavsfan1000]

All of a sudden OKC got a lot deeper. Stupid Terry.

Fuck. What a faggot.

Jesus.

[Nick Manning]

omfg read the article people

[Cessation]

Don't u mean turtle head?

I see the turtle head resemblance. IMO, I think he looks more like a rat, but thats just me, either/or works just as well, tbh.

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck. What a faggot.

Jesus.
Yes since bulletin board material is always a good thing to start before the series starts. :rolleyes

see you in the Finals brah.

Just take care of home court and try and steal one in Miami, and it'll be over in 5

My thoughts exactly

[mingus]

JT has always been a fool but in recent years it's gotten worse. i guess you stop moderating what you say when your team has been the butt of the joke for the last five years. he knows he can't say or do anything to make it any worse.

[benefactor]

I don't really see anything wrong with what he said. By his standards it was pretty light-hearted remark.

That said, James Harden is better than two Jason Terrys.

[SpursIndonesia]

wow a spur fan from china

Not a surprise mate, that's a country with almost two billion people. :toast

[ohmwrecker]

I don't think what he said was a big deal . . . however, Jet is due to come crashing back to Earth in this series.

[SenorSpur]

This should be a good sign for Thunder fans.

[Danny.Zhu]

Wow. JET made it...

JET 24pt
Thunder Bench 22pt

[MavDynasty]

:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

This I can't really be mad at. Would've been annoyed if he would've said he's better than everyone on their bench so he should be able to outperform them or something like that.

[GovernmentMan]

Anyone getting angry at this is stupid. He didn't say he was better. He said he wants to outperform them, which is what every player's goal should be.

[Blouses]

Game, JET

[badfish22]

lol the faggots on the first page

[TampaDude]

This isn't an outlandish statement from the JET. He's already outplayed another team's bench by himself this postseason.

Yeah...it's kind of a love/hate thing with JET...hate it when he's doing it to the Spurs, but love it when he's doing it to other teams, especially the Lakers. :lol

[Axe Murderer]

The _Allas Mavericks disgust me more than any other team in pro sports history. I actually relocated my family down to Port Arthur because of that team. Ever since Jason Terry punched Michael Finley below the belt, I promised my wife I'd never set foot in that trashy city again. Well, it's been 4 years since then and I'm proud to say I kept my word. :toast

Not only that but I get to root for a team with real class, and that's the San Antonio Spurs. There's a reason we got 4 rings, and those chokers led by _Irk will never see one.

[Dex]

I just don't see how hard it is to keep your mouth shut. If you can avoid motivating the other team, do it. Obviously, that's not Terry's style.

He's lucky that he's lived up to the high bar he set for himself so far tbh. If he comes out and lays an egg, I guarantee you those comments get magnified.

[Axe Murderer]

:cry:cry:cry Jason Terry sleeps with my wife every night! :cry:cry:cry

[Dex]

Shouldn't you be in the corner crying about STDs or video games or something?

for whatever reason you posted that, it sounds a lot more fun than sleeping on the couch while your wife gets plowed by Jason Terry

lol cuckold

[ChrisRichards]

Jet is about to fall down on earth (face first) anytime soon.

[Cessation]

lol ratface 8 pts, thunder bench 50 pts

[Danny.Zhu]

lol ratface 8 pts, thunder bench 50 pts

:lol

[cheguevara]

This should be a good sign for Thunder fans.

:lol Senor called that shit. Harden ripped a 3rd asshole on that fool

[Dex]

Guess he didn't try hard enough.

[mavsfan1000]

Bulletin board material never fails to inspire.
