Udoka - C'mon man...

[Please_dont_ban_me]

You gotta' do something there.

Dude takes you around the neck and drops you...I don't care how "nice" he is and how good his reputation is. Get in his face. Do something. Don't throw a punch and get suspended, but don't walk off like nothing happened.


On another note, didn't Murphy get into it earlier this season with someone and get punched in the face? I guess he's not that "nice" of a guy after all.

Shit.

Don't go that route. Hit them where it hurts. In the Win-Loss column.

I agree to an extent. The ultimate "in your face" is scoreboard.

But still, you have to have a line you draw. You hold your ground and keep your cool Manu-style to a certain extent. I always thought Udoka would be one of the few guys on the team, maybe Horry being the other, who would retaliate in a situation like that.


Kinda' let me down he didn't

[ChumpDumper]

Why should Ime waste his baddassery on the Pacers?

They suck. Being a Pacer with pooh as your only fan is punishment enough.

Also true.

But you didn't feel a little let down? If anything Kurt Thomas should have retaliated, or Horry. If not on that play, one of the following plays. Anyways, that's not the Spurs MO. =( I still would have liked to see it though.

Anyone remember that story on TrueHoop about Udoka brawling with an African team?

No, the Spurs show in the long run that they have class.

[vander]

or do things the Tim Duncan way:




When, during college, Duke center Greg Newton ripped Duncan for being "passive," "soft" and "babyish" after one game, reporters dutifully trotted to Duncan for a response, sure that he would rise to the bait. The insults were just too blatant. "He's a great player," Duncan said calmly, and Newton has been living down the comments ever since.

No need to risk a suspension during this stretch of games.

[spursfan09]

Wow Never saw that quote before. ^^^

I don't know who Greg Newton is, but I don't like him.

The last thing Udoka needs heading into the playoffs is a reputation as a "troublemaker". The last thing the Spurs need heading into the playoffs is another reason for the refs to blow against them.

[batboy]

Yeah we also don't need bottom-feeders potentially injuring our guys in frustration with impuinity.

[Brutalis]

Stupid ass- only Horry is allowed to do such things.

[milkyway21]

Udoka made a mistake once, got a technical, and it costs us the game.

[batboy]

The important thing is to blow these crap teams out early so our starters are on the bench when they start getting chippy.

[Kori Ellis]

You wanted Udoka to throw a punch? LOL

That's a little extreme isn't it? I could see maybe you saying push him, but throw a punch would be the stupidest move ever. He'd not only get suspended, Pop would throw him in the doghouse.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

dumbest thread of the year

[BonnerDynasty]

He is on Bonner's list. He won't pull anymore shenanigans like that again.

[TDMVPDPOY]

ban him for his sheer stupidity

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Only controlled aggression leads to victory.

Call me Mr Miyagi.

[BIG z]

Dumbest thread ever, ban this guy... LOL ;)

[sa_kid20]

You don't wanna do something stupid and get suspended. Especially against the Pacers of all teams.

In the original post he said don't throw a punch, I think he just wanted a reaction. This mentality is born out of insecurity, Udoka knows he's a bad ass so there's no reason for him to put up aires. Udoka's one confident dude to show restraint there.

Yeah, I re-read it after I posted. Blame the medication, I can't really read that well. :lol

Either way, I don't think it would wise for him to do anything. Last time he got T'd up, Pop wasn't pleased at all.

[T Park]

Thats not how the Spurs do things.

Period.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

:D

True.

I wonder how the convo went after that one, and how that effected his decision this time to do nothing.

Na, Kori...

I never said throw a punch. In fact I specifically said "not throw a punch". But do SOMETHING. Get up, get in his face, a shove maybe. Exchange some pleasantries. ANYTHING other than get up and walk off like nothing happened.

[phyzik]

as much as Id like for a Spur to beat the shit out of someone sometimes, thats just not who they are and Im glad Ime recognizes that.

Ime would slap that white boy silly, though.

[timvp]

Ime is probably the last person on the Spurs another team should mess with. But yeah, you don't waste a retaliation against the Pacers when you are up by 20. If that was Jason Terry, then it probably would have been a different story . . .

[T Park]

Why.

What does that do for the team and what does it do to make the team better other than proving your a dumbass?

[SequSpur]

udoka is soft.

[Whisky Dog]

Udoka looks like one of those dudes who is quiet, calm, and nice, but if you fucked with him hard enough he wouldn't hesitate to kill you.

That's how Sean Elliot put it on a pregame interview the other day...

He says Ime's nice and polite as can be. But not the type you want to mess with. He doesn't take any shit.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Why.

What it does is make the other fucker think twice the next time he wants to lay you out on a fast break when they're down by 20 late in the game.

If Ime had any ups, that would be Juwan Howard / Derek Anderson all over again.

I guess...

Eh. I'll take a elbow to Terry's face over Murphy's any day.

[Obstructed_View]

Hadn't heard about his reaction, but sounds to me like he's a perfect addition to this team.

Maybe everybody isn't aware of the fact that Ime is the baddest motherfucker in the building, but I guarantee you Ime is aware of it. That's why he didn't retaliate. The second you let one guy get under your skin, everybody's going to be doing it to you every single night. You make your free throws and get the W and they learn their lesson.

[mudyez]

Anyone remember that story on TrueHoop about Udoka brawling with an African team?

yeah, finish them!

I like udokas reaktion...thats the classy spurs and not some ghetto kidds!

[SpurAddict561]

Why the hell would a Spur besides Horry get wild on someone like that?

We got classssssssssss

So you want our guys to be like all the other worthless thugs in the league?

[j.r. haider]

actually he should have beaten him up in the parking lot.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

It is not the Spurs way.

[ancestron]

Udoka isn't going to let a scrub like Troy Murphy get in his head. He's smarter than that. He did the right thing.

Udoka only knows 2 settings. Good Guy and African Killer. We don't want him to go mode 2 on the court. He could not only face suspension, but extended jailtime.

[mexicanjunior]

I like that Udoka kept his cool during that clothesline, I thought for sure he was gonna get in the guy's face and get a technical. Good for him for staying calm, it's that kind of coolness that will serve us well in the post season...

:lol

[san antonio spurs]

Udoka seems like a quiet storm. He rarely talks, but he also seems like the guy that when involved in a fight death is the only option.
Quiet guys like that are very very extremely incredibly dangerous
