[Shank]

NEW YORK, March 5, 2008 - Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks has
been
suspended one game without pay, and his Flagrant Foul, Penalty One
against
Andrei Kirilenko of the Utah Jazz has been upgraded to a Flagrant
Foul,
Penalty Two, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive
Vice
President, Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 7:04 remaining in the first period of
the
Mavericks' 116-110 loss to the Jazz on Monday, March 3 at
EnergySolutions
Arena.

Nowitzki will serve his suspension when the Mavericks host the
Houston
Rockets Thursday, March 6 at American Airlines Center.

Bad for the Mavs, good for everyone else.

[GuerillaBlack]

This is fake.

[Shank]

This is fake.

Bets on that, motherfucker?

[stretch]

Bets on that, motherfucker?
LOL

[GuerillaBlack]

Bets on that, motherfucker?
Link it at least. Haven't seen any article on it online. I think you typed it up.

[Shank]

Link it at least. Haven't seen any article on it online. I think you typed it up.

Like I said - care to bet on it?

I'm not telling you where I received it or heard it. But it's 100% true.

[Spurminator]

Just heard confirmation on the Radio.

[GuerillaBlack]

Nah, your right. My bad.

[Xylus]

It's legit--the Dallas Morning News is reporting it.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports

[Evan]

The Ticket in Dallas just confirmed.

[Shank]

Whoops.

[Trainwreck2100]

Great now Hou will cakewalk through that game

[LEONARD]

HorseShit!!!

[Allanon]

Bye Bye Mavs, Looks like Houston will notch win #17 in a row.

[monosylab1k]

fuck it, If the Mavs can't win one game without Dirk, especially a game that they desperately need to win, they fuckin suck.

[Xylus]

If Golden State wins tonight against Charlotte, and Dallas loses tomorrow night against Houston w/out Dirk, Dallas will move down to the 8th seed, I believe. A Suns victory against the Nuggets would help the Mavs out, then.

[Shank]

Howard really needs to come out of this shell and prove his worth tomorrow night.

[MajicMan]

Lmao Skirt deserved it though. From the looks of it he tried to take AK down with him.

[robbie380]

fuck it, If the Mavs can't win one game without Dirk, especially a game that they desperately need to win, they fuckin suck.

DING! DING! DING! we have a winner!


i certainly don't believe this will be a cake walk especially after watching the rockets inspired play without yao.

[Medvedenko]

Too bad...but if Kobe get's a suspension for his BS than this deserves it as well.

[TheNextGen]

Rockets guard Tracy McGrady on Tuesday said Dirk Nowitzki's flagrant foul on Utah's Andrei Kirilenko on Monday should earn a suspension and keep him out of Thursday's game against the Rockets. "He should be (suspended)," McGrady said. "That was a pretty hard foul. Not only that, to slam a guy to the ground like that, it was a hard foul. It should have been a flagrant-2. "Yeah, I will (be broken-hearted)," McGrady said with a broad smile. "I will. I want them to be at full strength. "You see the smile, right?" -- Houston Chronicle

[monosylab1k]

fuck it, they should start tanking for Derrick Rose.

Have Dirk & Kidd sit the rest of the year out with some David Robinson injury.

[freemeat]

I didn't think the league would suspend one of it's "pretty boys" and the former MVP...but he deserved it. He completely THREW AK47 to the floor!

If that dipshit wants to prove that he's not "soft," he should concentrate on winning games and not pulling some Artest-Maxwell bullshit.

I hate that guy.

[ludda]

Tmac got his wish.

[rAm]

its dirk's karma for flopping all week long

[Shank]

"Completely threw him to the ground"...

Over-react much?

[ludda]

Sloan downplayed the whole thing, I didn't think they were going to suspend him. Even playing field for tom's game.

[Shank]

Maybe TNT could pull the Mavs-Rockets game and put up another Miami Heat gem instead.

[ratm1221]

The NBA blows. I'm going to start watching professional Water Polo.

[DaDakota]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahh. ...

[Findog]

Being a Mavs fan is like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football.

On another note Bowen and Horry are pieces of shit.

[JamStone]

NBA = "NO BALLS ASSOCIATION"

Catch phrase: where pussies happen

Where the hell was Dicktator Stern weeks ago when Matt Barnes maliciously fouled Ronny Turiaf from behind while Turiaf was in the air? Shit wasn't even a flagrant 1, much less a flagrant 2 and suspension. I don't even like the Mavs and I think it's bullshit.

[DaDakota]

Look the same thing happened to Al Horford when he did about the same type of deal to TJ Ford.

The NBA had to suspend him.....

And just because it is against the Rockets....well...that is ok with me...we are missing Yao...so it evens out...right?

Haha :lol :lol :lol

Mavs can rarely win without Dirk. Houston has proved they can win without Ya-Ow. So no, it does not even out. Good try though. All this does is put more pressure on Houston to win tomorrow on top of them having a 16 game win streak. Good luck with that.

When Houston loses tomorrow without Dirk playing, they will officially be pathetic.

[DaDakota]

Yep, the Rockets should be favored now, before it was maybe 60-40 in the Mavs favor...now 75-25 to Houston....WOOOOHOOO !!

We can put the Mavs even further in our rearview mirror.....

Nice trade.

DD

[Shank]

Nice trade.

DD

What does that have to do with any of this?

Mavs still win, fuckstick. Even without Dirk, they're still not the powerhouses in the Grizzlies, the Pacers or the Heat the Rockets have been beating up on.

Karma shows that McGrady's kneecaps go shooting into the 10th row tonight.

[DaDakota]

Shank,

Your amazingly rude language just proves your lack of intellect.

Mavs are choking, and Jason Kidd is a broken down old shoe.

I'd rather use amazingly rude language than resort to calling anyone a "broken down old shoe".

I give two shits about what you think.

[lefty]

Maybe they'll win that next game without Dirk

[LEONARD]

Mavs will still win...

:lol at people saying "nice trade" in this thread...wtf? genius'...

[monosylab1k]

I'm gonna start researching next year's draft so that we can tank that one.

[LEONARD]

"Completely threw him to the ground"...

Over-react much?

Remember when Jet "body slammed" Baron Davis in the playoffs last year? This place was pure comedy. Who knew that little Jet was so strong he could cup the back of big bad Baron's neck with one hand and slam him down... :lol

houston will beat the crap out of the mavs. they want to destroy them and they will. houston has no pressure to win but they know they have to win because you can't lose in the west. they are confident and playing excellent defense.

maybe dirk can cheer you guys on at home :cheer

[Shank]

Hey! There's another one crawling out of the woodwork.

Did they "want to destroy them" the 3 times they've lost to the Mavs already this year?

[robbie380]

Tmac got his wish.


t-mac wanted dirk to play so they wouldn't have any excuses.

[monosylab1k]

t-mac wanted dirk to play so they wouldn't have any excuses.
sure he did. you see him smiling, right?

[robbie380]

Did they "want to destroy them" the 3 times they've lost to the Mavs already this year?


not like now....this is a different team. this team actually has chemistry now. also, the power forward position has become much improved with the development of scola and landry since they last played. i don't see how you guys get us off the boards.

[robbie380]

sure he did. you see him smiling, right?


maybe i am getting it mixed up with another player on the rockets but i thought t-mac said he didn't want any excuses. let me try to find the whole article.


edit....i am an idiot and it was probably just t-mac making one of his douchebag comments and me inferring too much. i thought there was more to the interview but there wasn't.

[DOMINATOR]

knew it was coming because Al Horford was suspended earlier this year for a very similiar play.

[mardigan]

Bill Laimbeer and Charles Oakley would never have lasted in today's NBA.

Did Cuban turn in the tape on Dirk?

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck you David Stern. Fucking die bitch.

[baseline bum]

fuck it, they should start tanking for Derrick Rose.

So Dirk should break his foot?

[WalterBenitez]

Go Houston go!

[baseline bum]

Bill Laimbeer and Charles Oakley would never have lasted in today's NBA.

But guards going to the rim untouched is so much more exciting! The NBA's been pussy since Stern's stupid rule changes for the 99-00 season. Sucks that we'll never see a series like Boston-LA '84 or Boston-LA '87 again.

[The Franchise]

Bill Laimbeer and Charles Oakley would never have lasted in today's NBA.
A lot of these players in the league wouldn't have made it in that NBA either. The game is much softer across the board.Skill level and basketball IQ as well.

I don't buy that at all. The athletes in the game are incredible right now, and have much better shooting range on average than in the 80s or 90s.

[LakerMagic]

That sucks for Dallas, but you know the rules.

[Indazone]

whooo hooo!!! Take care of business with the Pacers tonight and then tomorrow night we get to play destructo with the Mavs. hahah

:toast

[Nation of Domination]

Fuck Dirk. The Rockets were going to beat them with that pussy anyways.

[Obstructed_View]

You mean like the Patriots tanked to move up in the draft? Oh wait, they lost that pick. Nevermind.

Just make sure they insert a screw in Dirk and Kidd's feet so they can show the X-rays if someone asks. You've gotta be committed when you tank.

[monosylab1k]

You mean like the Patriots tanked to move up in the draft? Oh wait, they lost that pick. Nevermind.
Last I checked the Patriots were picking 7th in the draft. They didn't have to tank, San Francisco did it for them. So nevermind is right.

[sribb43]

If Golden State wins tonight against Charlotte, and Dallas loses tomorrow night against Houston w/out Dirk, Dallas will move down to the 8th seed, I believe. A Suns victory against the Nuggets would help the Mavs out, then.

well that didnt happen and i prefer to see a Suns loss

[sribb43]

Fuck you David Stern. Fucking die bitch.

LOL...so true

[GSH]

Nowitzki was frustrated because the Mavs were getting their asses kicked. Same reason JET went after Bowen the other night.

If Dirky had just brought his arm down on AK, it would have been a Flagrant I. Kirilenko wouldn't have gotten hurt, and Nitwitzki wouldn't be suspended. He held on, and drug Kirilenko to the floor. It was a chickenshit move, and a hell of a lot more dangerous than the bump on Nash that got Horry a 2 game suspension.

And for those people claiming that they take harder hits than that in their pick-up games... bullshit. And maybe, maybe you saw fouls like that happen in years gone by - but you would also see someone come off the bench to kick Nitwitzki's ass for it. The league doesn't allow bench-clearing brawls anymore, so the Flagrant II and suspension are absolutely required.

(I felt like this thread needed a post from someone who isn't a Mavs, Rockets, or Lakers fan. :dizzy )

[rasho8]

I love watching Dirt get suspended.. Maybe next time he decides to flail around like a drowning retard he will think twice.

I'm getting sick of the flopping and flying in the NBA (and YES I mean the Spurs as well) But I'm sorry sometimes it just doesn't wash.

Its CONCEIVABLE that occasionally, sometime,s Manu will bounce into Amare and go flying... but not when he hits AI.

Its NEVER probable that Dirt No-dick-ski will run into Tony Parker and go flying backward 10 feet and land clutching his vagina.

[Roxsfan]

Haha :lol :lol :lol

dude stfu, your franchise is pathetic. Letting Nash go, Harris go, trading for a pg in a wheel chair which caused your team to slide further down into irrelevancy; choking in the finals, choking last year to an 8 seed after going 82-0 :clap , great fucking job.........u wanna talk about pathetic, we talkin bout being pathetic..........

Dallas loses tomorrow.
17 win streak for Houston. :smokin

[ludda]

Funny shit when Mav and Rox fans talk shit to each other about "choking"

How sad. Houston is the one team we own. Maybe you can finally beat us tomorrow night since Tracy McGrady sat on Santa Claus' lap and told Stu he wanted Dirk to sit it out.

Yeah, and I guess while Tmac was sitting on Santa Claus's lap, Dirk must've choked pretty good on Stu to warrant him a suspension for incompetence.

[DaDakota]

If the Rockets beat the Mavs, and they should with Dirk out, the Mavs will be 3 games back of the Rockets.....and only 1 game from dropping out of the playoffs all together.

Yeah, you're right. They probably just got beat by a better team.

[Shank]

Awfully tough talk for a team with a brutal March schedule ahead. Like any other team in the West, drop even 3 in a row and you're just about out of the playoffs. I'd hold off on the shit-talking for another couple weeks. No need to be so high and mighty right now.

But Roxsfan can die in a fire.

[DaDakota]

Brutal March stretch? Maybe but 3 of them are at home, so it lessens the Brutality, and right now the chemistry is out of this world, the Rockets are playing their best basketball since the championship years.

You Mavs fans will see it first hand tonight....in HD.

[Cry Havoc]

Threads like these make me so excited for all this regular season BS to end and the playoffs to start.

[Roxsfan]

so that fact the Spurs don't win on even years makes them chokers? Can you please explain? By that admission the Spurs are pathetic because out of the last 5 years they only won 3 titles instead of winning 5 titles! Makes total sense now, when the Spurs start losing in the first round please let me know :lol

Good to know losing to the Lakers in 2004 who had Malone, Payton, Shaq, Kobe, and Rick Fox, while David Robinson retires and we had Rasho as our center must have been a huge choke job; considering the Lakers were favorites to win all that year. And losing to Dallas in overtime in game 7 must have been another huge choke by the Spurs especially considering they were losing the series 3-1 :toast

A good team(franchise) can defend a title. simple. spurs can't and won't
