"Stackhouse was a man."

[Twisted_Dawg]

When asked what he thought of Stackhouse's cheap shot on Manu, Avery Johnson said, "When you play a guy like Ginobili, you have to be man. He was a man."

Another of many stupid statements by Avery Johnson. So in Avery's world it is okay to cheap shot a player, continue the action after Manu was knocked down and then get tech'd? He is clearly proving he is one of the worst coaches in the league not to mention plain stupid. And to think we retired that little MOFO's jersey.

[urunobili]

Manu should have never given up number 6

[Brutalis]

stupid ass spurs retiring his number for what reason?

what a joke. can the unretire it?

[ChuckD]

This is why Avery Johnson should NEVER, EVER be a coach on the Spurs bench, assistant or otherwise.

[Supreme_Being]

It's not just Avery. It's the whole Mavs team.

[Capt Bringdown]

Dude's an ass. Tear that jersey banner down or set it on fire, stat!

Who was Avery trying to impress with that comment? Daddy Mark?

[Brutalis]

we should start an online petition, not that it'd make a difference but just to see how many people would sign it

[some_user86]

I think it starts from the top down. I think Cuban's stupidity infiltrates the entire Mavs organization. Avery is just a mentally weak coach and is susceptible to Cuban's idiocy. As far I can remember, Nellie obviously wasn't. I think Cuban will find himself selling the team after he fires the next coach after Avery and can't turn the team around to championship-level basketball again (two or three more years tops). He just interferes too much into the court decision-making aspects of the team.

Avery needs some time as an assistant somewhere to learn how to more mentally tough and how to better interact with players. But I think he has shown flashes of what it takes to be a good coach, he just needs more training.

From Yahoo! Sports:

"Stackhouse was ejected following his second technical of the game; the other came for using Ginobili’s face to help get up after the two collided going for a rebound late in the third quarter.

“It’s not a big deal,” Ginobili said. “We were both competing.”

Said Stackhouse: “Nothing new with him.”

Now, who is being a man here, and who is being a punk?

id say its safe to say ginobili was being the man here, and stacky was being the douche bag.

[samikeyp]

Avery was right....to a point. You do have to be a man to play against Ginobili....problem is when Avery said "man" Stackhouse thought he said "punk bitch" :lol

[WalterBenitez]

POP, I know you get mad easily, but your student AJ is stupid, right?

[jmard5]

Avery is just implying that Stackhouse's recent actions proved that he is now a girl. :elephant

[1Parker1]

Turning loose the fight: The Mavericks got physical with the Spurs, particularly in Jerry Stackhouse's case.

The shooting guard spent a good portion of Sunday matching points and elbows with Manu Ginobili.

"It's nothing new with him," Stackhouse said. "He flails and falls and does a whole lot of that [stuff] throughout the course of the game, and it's always the second guy that gets caught. I think that's what they saw."

One of Stackhouse's two technical fouls came when he and Ginobili hit the floor while tangled up late in the third quarter.

"Everybody's out there fighting," Kidd said. "Emotion is part of the game. It can help you, and at times it can hurt you. But you got to keep going."

[LilMissSPURfect]

Dang I hate SNATCHhouse's IGNORANCE! Can the NBA implement an IQ requirement...both for fans and players? :bang :bang

[Shaolin-Style]

Was stackhouse ever a man?

Or has he always been a caveman?

[JustSpurs]

Shithouse has never been a man.

[samikeyp]

"It's nothing new with him," Stackhouse said. "He flails and falls and does a whole lot of that [stuff] throughout the course of the game, and it's always the second guy that gets caught. I think that's what they saw."

Well, when that guy takes the first guy down by the neck, that can happen.



Dumbass.

[Ginofan]

:lol oh Avery...I just don't understand you.

I understand the physicallity of the game, elbows and shoving is all part of a good game, but come on...shoving someone's face into the floor is a straight up bitch move. Try to be more honest next time Avery.

[Spurminator]

Heard in a state prison... "Man, they locked my ass up for shooting a guy, but they didn't hear what he said about my mom."

[boutons_]

In spite of silly look-at-me tee-shirts on Cuban, Avery's in a precarious position. Dirk's injury takes some heat off. Miss the playoffs or out in round one, Avery can hide behind Dirk's injury. And Jason hasn't worked out at all well.

Real Men don't talk about "be a man". They Just Do It, like our scrawny Manu putting a hard blockout on beefy Prickhouse.

[Shaolin-Style]

"It's nothing new with him," Stackhouse said. "He flails and falls and does a whole lot of that [stuff] throughout the course of the game, and it's always the second guy that gets caught. I think that's what they saw."

Rephrase
"He's always consistent like that," Stackhouse said. "He boxes out and rebounds and does a whole lot of that good work throughout the course of the game, and it's always the second guy that gets violent. I think that's what they saw."

Avery Johnson said of Stackhouse, "When you try to play a guy like Ginobili, you have to be good. He wasn't good."

I'm glad that you all are such homers that you can't see there's a pattern involving Ginobili's play and the response from other teams around the league. He's reckless and his 'style' (ie - falling down 20 times a game and flailing about) is going to end someone's career one day. The day is coming where someone is going to get so fed up with his bullshit that they break his fucking nose at center court. One fanbase, Spurs fans, will be disgusted and cry outrage. The other 29 will all know he's had it coming for some time and applaud in unison.

You can call Avery, Stackhouse, the Mavericks, etc. whatever you want. Doesn't change the fact that that big-nosed douchebag sees fit to hurl his body aimlessly around the court every game. If he played for any other team, none of you would think his way of playing is that great.

Of course he was wrong. So was Ginobili for excessive contact on the box out. Manu was trying to goad Stack into losing his cool, and he succeeded. But let's put to bed this "Manu is an innocent angel" horseshit.

"Bowen's going to end someone career someday."
"Ginobilli's going to end someones career someday."
"Blah, blah, blah."

When is this going to happen dildo? Bowen's 36 and been in the league 12 years. He'd better hurry up.
Ginobilli gets racked up by players all the time and takes ten times what he gives.
The guy most likely to put someone out of the league with his penchant for undercutting players sits at the end of Dallas's bench, Howard.

Retaliating like Stack did is bush league. The best way you retaliate is keep your cool, make shots and win the game. Stackhouse's actions are evident of a "me first" attitude.

If you lack the ability to retaliate with your play instead of plays like that, you do not belong on an NBA court.

So you're saying it wasn't just a box out, but rather an attempt to mess with Stackhouse? That much is obvious - with the way Manu did his little act and the cowered near the scorer's table with his usual palms-up, missing tooth parade. He does this shit all the time and none of you will admit that he purposefully throws his body around and then steps back as though he didn't intend to do it. It's bush-league bullshit and you all buy into it because he comes off all innocent with the way he struggles with the English language to give out his gracious quotes after the game. And you can call Stackhouse anything you want. I'm surprised he kept his cool enough to not go Kermit Washington on the little fuck.

No I am saying it was a box out. And I have said many a time that Manu throws his body around and if anything it will shorten his career before it will anyone else's.

[monosylab1k]

There's no way to justify what Stack did. If you don't like the way a guy is playing you, you answer back on the court, you don't pull dirty bullshit like that. That's just enabling the guy, confirming that whatever he's doing is working.

Just beat him on the court if you're so sick of what he's doing.

What you're not getting is that it wasn't just this one play. It was everything leading up to it, from this game to any other they've played this season. And not just from the Mavericks - from every team in the league that has to endure watching this Muppet-looking motherfucker fall into people 20 times a game. What is it about Manu that his sense of gravity and balance are weaker than a toddler just learning to walk?

[picnroll]

No, you're not supposed to be okay with it. And we're not supposed to be surprised that Manu once again got under an opposing player's skin by flailing his arms out and exhibiting poor body control. He didn't flail his arm out douchebag. He put a forearm in Stackhouse's chest to keep him boxed out. Shithouse was just pissed because Manu was tattooing the Mavs ass again and Shithouse was a poor sport as always. He's a bitch, that's all.

[Findog]

Do you feel the end justifies the means? I know shank does.

I feel like this is not the first time Manu has flailed his limbs around recklessly and risked injuring another player. I wouldn't cheer what Stack did or if another player takes a similar approach. I'll just say that by doing these kinds of things repeatedly that piss off and irritate other players, when they don't believe it's unintentional, Manu is playing with fire. Other than that, I have no judgment on what transpired.

[WalterBenitez]

I'd love to show how Bad boys (DET) used to box out ... that were good and strong plays, but even that you shouldn't catch anybody's neck from behind, in NFL that is a foul and automatic 15 yards ...

[Ginofan]

Do you think there would be this much bitching about Manu "endangering players with his wild reckless type of play" if he happened to be on the whiner's team? Hell freakin' no!

Damn, just get over it already. Manu puts the beat down on your team night in and night out, he just can't help being that good.

It's bush-league bullshit and you all buy into it because he comes off all innocent with the way he struggles with the English language to give out his gracious quotes after the game. And you can call Stackhouse anything you want. I'm surprised he kept his cool enough to not go Kermit Washington on the little fuck.



:dramaquee

[Findog]

He didn't flail his arm out douchebag.

Okay, whatever you say, homer shitbag.


He put a forearm in Stackhouse's chest to keep him boxed out.

He also drove Stackhouse to the floor after the successful boxout had been accomplished.


Shithouse was just pissed because Manu was tattooing the Mavs ass again and Shithouse was a poor sport as always. He's a bitch, that's all

Takes one to know one I guess. Manu shrugged it off, I don't understand why you guys can't as well.

[monosylab1k]

And if you really want the league to look closer at Manu's flailing around, then next time he catches someone in the face with a flailing limb, that guy needs to FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE and fall to the ground writhing in pain like he just got hit by a grenade. Flop around like a bitch for a few minutes and maybe next time Manu flails around the refs will take notice.

You've got to be a little smarter about it than to just take a guy down by his neck.

[Shank]

inside the minds of a maverick. No freakin wonder.

Since when did I play for the team? Feel free to insult me and the Maverick fanbase all you want - we're not the ones that stand up and applaud injuries to other players like the Spurs fans in section 114 did yesterday. You want to talk about being "inside the heads" of a team's fans? What does that behavior exhibit?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

So you're saying it wasn't just a box out, but rather an attempt to mess with Stackhouse? That much is obvious - with the way Manu did his little act and the cowered near the scorer's table with his usual palms-up, missing tooth parade. He does this shit all the time and none of you will admit that he purposefully throws his body around and then steps back as though he didn't intend to do it.

And you can call Stackhouse anything you want. I'm surprised he kept his cool enough to not go Kermit Washington on the little fuck.I think its pretty obvious that Manu throws himself to get contact, but it didn't happen here jackass. How you can surmise that it did is beyond me. Second of all, there is no excuse for what Stackhouse did, and you trying to play the whole "I understand why he did it" just leads people to believe you're about as mature and intelligent as he is, which is 5 fucking years old worth.

This altercation shouldn't result on a suspension, but it definitely should result in a big fucking fine.

[Findog]

I'd love to show how Bad boys (DET) used to box out ... that were good and strong plays, but even that you shouldn't catch anybody's neck from behind, in NFL that is a foul and automatic 15 yards ...

And there's a reason you had to use the past tense to describe what they did.

[2centsworth]

What you're not getting is that it wasn't just this one play. It was everything leading up to it, from this game to any other they've played this season. And not just from the Mavericks - from every team in the league that has to endure watching this Muppet-looking motherfucker fall into people 20 times a game. What is it about Manu that his sense of gravity and balance are weaker than a toddler just learning to walk?
Mavs just don't get it. You would think getting bounced in the 1st round would have been a wake up call. Maybe being lottery bound will do it, but maybe not.

Because it was BEFORE the wussification of the NBA.

But this thread is specifically about that play. If you want to create a "Manu: flopping and flailing throughout history" thread be my guest but this thread is centered on what happened yesterday.

And of course because it was Manu and not Jacque Vaughan or Ime Udoka, people are going to take his past antics into account. How can you be so obtuse to think that people that aren't Spurs fans are going to look at that play yesterday as if it exists in a vacuum?

1) The Bad Boys actually tried to injure opposing players. That's a step beyond hard-nosed play. Like I said, there's a reason you can't get away now with the shit they tried to pull.

2) Basketball is a much more pleasing sport to watch than rugby. I don't want to watch 200-198 Paul Westhead track meets without any defense whatsover, but I also don't want to watch a bunch of pussies compensate for their overall lack of talent by injuring opposing players in lieu of playing basketball.

So, when i don't agree with you, you resort to name calling. Well, I had you better than that but I guess not.

I understand what people think of Ginobili outside the Spurs fan base, I live in the middle of it up here, I just don't happen to agree with it. I didn't say people couldn't think what they want...they can, but I don't have to agree with it and despite your best efforts I am not changing my mind solely to agree with you.

If you think we're so damned biased, why don't you just listen to how Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson describe it?

Mark Jackson said it was a dirty play (by Stack). He later backed off a bit and said it wasn't a clean play.

Meanwhile, Van Gundy says it was just two NBA players being physical and that he didn't even believe that Manu should've been called with a foul.


So, who's being a homer here?

[cash459]

Okay, whatever you say, homer shitbag.



He also drove Stackhouse to the floor after the successful boxout had been accomplished.



Takes one to know one I guess. Manu shrugged it off, I don't understand why you guys can't as well.

so youre saying that Manu, who you called scrawny in an earlier post, is strong enough to take down stackhouse with his back to him and no arms around him!?

wow, stack must be the one with a feabile sense of balance (like a toddler learning to walk) rather than Manu or a weak ass player. your call.

[1Parker1]

My only comment to Mavs fans who think that the play Stackhouse made was justified; Karma always comes back to bite you.

There's a reason the Mavs have folded the last two postseasons and are struggling this season to make it to the playoffs. Watch teams like the Pistons and Spurs who play the right way night in and night out. They don't go out and take cheap shots and smaller players, they don't get easily frazzled, they don't let their childesh emotions get in the way of how they play the game.

If Mavs players knew how to keep their head in the game and acted "less of a man" and more like a good "sportsman" they wouldn't constantly be in the predictaments they're in.

[mavsfan1000]

Stackhouse is such a thug. He has no game anymore and just relies on being dirty to make up for it. Why the fuck did we resign him?

[FromWayDowntown]

When Dirk Nowitzki flops and flails its somehow artistic or evidence of greatness. When Manu Ginobili does similar things, only in his balls out style, its dirty.

I guess maybe Manu shouldn't play so hard.

The notion that Spurs fans are oblivious to Manu's chippiness is wrong, I think. But I also think that if Manu played for the Mavericks, the fans who are upset with him would see things very, very differently.

Stackhouse should ask the bigs around the league how it is to play most of the game under the basket they will tell him how many elbows and knees are thrown without fouls being called. They take the punishement and play.

[samikeyp]

You were playing coy over why people wouldn't take Manu's history into account. Is coy less harsh than obtuse? :)


I am not trying to be coy or obtuse or any other 50 cent word. :) People can judge the incident any way they want. My personal take is that this particular thread was dealing specifically with that incident yesterday and I felt Stackhouse was in the wrong. There are people who are going to take Manu's style of play over his NBA career into account. That's is their take. There are also people who hate the Spurs so intensely that no matter what any Spurs player does, especially Manu, its wrong. Manu could walk into the buliding and start warming up when Jerry Stackhouse walks in and stabs him and someone like Shank is going to be ok with that. "He had it coming!"

and before you say it, yes, it works the other way too....Manu could walk up to Stackhouse's locker, steal his mom's diabetes meds and there will be Spurs fans who will try to blame Stack for leaving them out. :)

My point, again, is this. I thought what Stackhouse did was wrong, even if he felt Manu elbowed him, you have to be smarter than that.

[Findog]

all I asked was for specific plays against the Mavs. that should be easy.

What is the relevance? I never said I condoned Terry's nutpunch or Stack using Manu's face as a trampoline, in fact I've condemned them. You're just trying to deflect attention away from Manu.

[MajorMike]

You can't use the word 'smarter' in a sentence with 'Stackhouse.'

Dirk does not drive opposing players into the ground after boxing them out. Yes, he flops to exaggerate contact and get calls, so does 95% of the rest of the league. That's another discussion for another thread.

[cash459]

Of course he was wrong. So was Ginobili for excessive contact on the box out. Manu was trying to goad Stack into losing his cool, and he succeeded. But let's put to bed this "Manu is an innocent angel" horseshit.

you said manu was wrong for "excessive" contact on the box out.

if thats not saying that you think that what manu did was wrong, then what the hell is that?

how is there excessive contact on a box out? are you only allowed to touch a player for a certain amount of time?

True. Sadly, a lot of it comes from the Euro League players although their American counterparts are picking it up quickly. Manu and Dirk are really bad about it but its not just them.

no, you mentioned Manu's history, so you must have some specific examples of Manu's "antics" against the Mavs. The attention is squarely on Manu's play, but you're not able to list specific examples. Don't give me the cop out answer of his reputation around the league. Be specific, and I'm only asking for plays against the Mavs.

That comes down to how you see the play evolving - was Stackhouse 100% to blame for pulling Manu down? Or was Manu already leaning into Stack and likely to go down and Stackhouse took it further than was necessary?

I see the latter. And that's what pissed Stackhouse off - that he couldn't just box out without falling down/into him.

[to21]

I can see how he could frustrate other players like that. I mean dude is boxing you out so good, you have to "be a man" and force him to the ground from behind.

[TMTTRIO]

Yes Manu does flop and sometimes it does get rough but I'd rather have a guy who comes out and puts everything into his play and plays 100%+ every night and takes a beating every night. Also your talking about Manu hurting people but how about all the players that have injured Manu too? The thing about Manu though is if you hurt him instead of going at somebody or swinging at them he'll just play even harder and hurt them that way.

Please make up your mind already. Manu went too high with the elbow or he's falling down on stack?

[MannyIsGod]

:lol @ Mav fan not realizing what a good clean hard box out is and acting as if it somehow instigated this.

Stack wasn't pissed at Manu taking him down because HE took Manu down. He was pissed that his team had just blown an opportunity to blow the game wide open and instead down. He was pissed that he had just seen his meal ticket crumple on the other end of the floor. He was pissed that he had just been outworked on the glass by this skinny big nosed white boy who even though he can't speak perfect English speaks it better than most Americans while speaking at least 2 other languages as well.

He was pissed because he's tired of getting owned in every way you can think of but instead of responding the way players like Manu do, he responded in a bitch way. If you hit Manu in the face does he swing back? If you knock him down does he run at you? If you foul him hard does he take a cheap shot? No. Manu fucks you where it hurts the most. He fucking owns you on the court.

The only thing Stackhouse proved was that he's still (and probably always will be) mentally weak. I remember when this guy was supposed to be a franchise player. Right.

[BonnerDynasty]

Manu is a thug for playing 110% every single minute he is on the court..

Not to mention all of the careers he has ended in the last 6 years.

What an abomination.

[2centsworth]

:lol @ Mav fan not realizing what a good clean hard box out is and acting as if it somehow instigated this.

well done.

[Ginofan]

That comes down to how you see the play evolving - was Stackhouse 100% to blame for pulling Manu down? Or was Manu already leaning into Stack and likely to go down and Stackhouse took it further than was necessary?

I see the latter. And that's what pissed Stackhouse off - that he couldn't just box out without falling down/into him.

But how is Stackhouse getting pissed off Manu's fault? It's not Manu's fault that Stackhouse can't control his emotions. Manu is supposed to care about every single players' fragile state of emotion and make sure he doesn't piss anyone off? That's weaksauce.

[MannyIsGod]

Shank can't come to terms with how fragile Stackhouse's ego must be. You can't disrespect Stack and expect him not to explode. I mean who the hell does Manu think he is. No one here should expect a grown man like Stack to have self control. Never.

Like Shank said, we should all be proud of Stack for not going Kermit Washington all over Manu's face. Someone give that man a citizen ship award already!

[Cry Havoc]

Dirk does not drive opposing players into the ground after boxing them out. Yes, he flops to exaggerate contact and get calls, so does 95% of the rest of the league. That's another discussion for another thread.

Yes. Because Manu's goal for the entire play was to put his back to Stackhouse on a box out, so he could be in good position to slam him to the ground.

How does THAT work, exactly? You ever tried to wrestle someone down while facing away from them?

Manu HAD the box out. He was in position for the board. Why the FUCK would he want to go backwards any farther than he already had, taking him out of the play? How the FUCK could you insinuate that Manu's intent was to initiate "excessive contact" with his FUCKING BACK!? That is the weakest shit I've seen a Mavs fan bring to the board.

The sad thing is, if you're right, it means Manu's back is stronger than Stack's entire body, since Manu managed to take him down while not even looking at him. Hilarious. Absolutely freaking hilarious. Manu must be practicing some kind of drunken monkey fucker boxing that tells you how to disable someone while they aren't even within reach of your hands. :lmao

[monosylab1k]

At least the reaction from most Spurs fans has tempered somewhat. It was a dirty play, for sure, but yesterday Aggie Hoops Dick was trying to pin attempted murder on Stack.

[urunobili]

oh 4 real? wow... i didn't realize that... thanks for your omnipresent knowledge oh lord! GTF outta here already suck up... if u still didn't get bored of justifying your team's cheap shots try visit the mavs forum to get more quorum

[Cry Havoc]

I think he's a world-class douchenozzle, but what he did wasn't horrible. It was just incredibly petulant and stupid, and smacks of "I'm pissed we're losing so I'm going to go after someone to unleash my childish anger at them."

I mean, what happens if no one grabs Stack's arm? Does he actually follow through with that punch? I think Spurs fans are more upset at the -potential- of that action rather than what actually happened.

[O-Factor]

About the only Mav I respect is Dirk. Always classy in interviews.

Stack can go fuck himself.

[Cry Havoc]

Seriously Mavs fans, what the hell would you lose if you traded away Terry and Stackhouse? An inconsistent 6th-man? A bomber who tends to disappear or have 1-12 shooting performances? Trade those guys, trade them now, or release them. Anything. Get a 2nd round draft pick for either of them and go after some character guys who don't have to assert their manhood with their fists and street cred.

[Whisky Dog]

:lol @ Mavfans talking about a dirty boxout

I've taken much harder shots and more contact on boxouts playing HS and college ball than what Manu gave to stack. You keep playing and when it's you gaining inside position you throw a little extra into someone's ribs. It's all part of the game.

[Findog]

If you think we're so damned biased, why don't you just listen to how Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson describe it?

Mark Jackson said it was a dirty play (by Stack).

I have said the same thing here. What Stack did wasn't cool. He let Manu get inside his head and he lost his cool by lashing out.




Meanwhile, Van Gundy says it was just two NBA players being physical and that he didn't even believe that Manu should've been called with a foul.


So, who's being a homer here?

I'll just echo what I've already said and what Spurminator said, that Stack is th guiltier party but Manu is not an innocent angel in this exchange. You flail around and exhibit poor body control, and do it throughout your career, and drive guys into the ground after boxing them out, some of them are going to think it's intentional and take exception to it. Stack should've responded by getting in his face and having some words instead of using his head as a trampoline. I can condemn Stackhouse for what he did. Are you still going to insist that Manu is/was a perfect choir boy?

So, who's being the homer here?

[Harry Callahan]

Why would I have a Monday off? You have no idea what I do for a living.

I can bet what you do for a living does not involve basketball in any way shape or form.

So Ginobili (in your mind) deserved to be maimed to extent of Rudy T for his awful actions against Stackhouse? What a stupid comment.

You try to paint all Spurs fans in the same color as a group of people in section 114, who supposedly cheered Dirk's injury. That is really rational.

I, for one, am sorry about what happened to Dirk. He is an excellent player, who had an awkward fall. He is one of the few good guys in that lockeroom. Too many punks are in there, like Howard, Stackhouse, and the nut puncher.

What I am not sorry about, is seeing the window close on the Maverick's "Window of Opportunity" to win a championship in the near future. That is due to Maverick "Fans" such as yourself with your ignorant comments.

The entire Maverick's atmosphere has been poisoned by that owner. He has a limited shelf life. If Dallas wants to turn it around, Cuban needs to sell the team.

[Findog]

Yes. Because Manu's goal for the entire play was to put his back to Stackhouse on a box out, so he could be in good position to slam him to the ground.

How does THAT work, exactly? You ever tried to wrestle someone down while facing away from them?

Did you even watch the play? He'd already boxed him out and taken him out of the play. Then he used his elbow and arm to drive him to the ground. Insult Stack and call him a thug all you want, and he definitely overreacted, but you think Stackhouse blew his cool for no reason at all? Uh, okay, whatever you say.

Yeah, I saw the play. Got a question for you...how the hell do you DRIVE SOMEONE INTO THE GROUND when you are facing AWAY from your opponent with HIS ARM AROUND YOUR NECK?

You going to tell me that Manu magically managed to somehow levitate Stackhouse's arm and bring it around his own neck so he could maybe hold it with his chin?

There was NOTHING wrong with that box-out. There was EVERYTHING wrong with Stackhouse's tackle, aborted punch, and hand to the head.

[Findog]

Yeah, I saw the play. Got a question for you...how the hell do you DRIVE SOMEONE INTO THE GROUND when you are facing AWAY from your opponent with HIS ARM AROUND YOUR NECK?

Do mavfans know the purpose of boxing out?

Dude, you are being completely biased. Thats fine, the Mavs are your team. But its the paint, arms and elbows are everywhere.

But you are right Stack didn't blow his cool for no reason. Its frustrating and tough for teams to play a physical Spurs team. Thats why in 7 game series, no one wants to play us.

[Killakobe81]

Manu plays very hard no doubt about that ...dirty not sye i would say that but the Purs (as champions) do sem to get the benefit of the doubt on calls ALL championship level teams do ...so for this to change teams need to beat teh SPurs consistently and at for the past 4-5 years no ONe has been able to ...once they stop winning they will be called for a lot more of their phsyical defense ...

[Findog]

Nice deflection. Now answer the question, bitch.

What was the question? Was it, "Did Manu flail his limbs about recklessly and exhibit poor body control, because that's part of his repertoire for getting under the skin of opposing players?" The answer is yes. Hey, I'd like to have a savvy player do that for my team, but I'm not going to put on blue and green glasses and play dumb when opposing players take exception to it.

Stackhouse was the guiltier party for reacting the way he did.

[Findog]

Findog's game has suddenly started to mirror the actual Findog's game. Nonexistent and embarrasing.

Avery is trying to tell his team to stay tough. That's all.

I can respect this take. :toast


Manu did something very savvy and got Stack to lose his cool.

[diego]

Waiting for confirmation on Manu's history of excessive flopping and poor body control? Really? I have to scour youtube and come up with a list? You watch Spurs games, you know damn well what Manu is about once you take off the silver and black glasses. I don't have to bullet-form shit.

it takes all of 2 minutes to "scour youtube". the truth is you dont have anything, not even one incident to point too, on video or not.

meanwhile, in those same 2 minutes i can find you video of stackhouse injuring other players, being unprofessional, and being stupid. so who is it that has a history? who is the one talking out of his ass?

stackhouse is a little bitch, normally i would say the refs hanlded it fine but if the league suspends bowen for tangling with chris paul, they should suspend stackhouse for that stunt he pulled yesterday.

[oski1000]

Which makes me wonder why AJ would defend Stackhouse's actions by calling him "a man." I always thought that calling someone "a man" suggests not only toughness, but also a degree of composure and restraint. I don't think of someone acting "like a man" by flipping out and acting foolishly.

[Findog]

Didn't mean it as an insult, and I think you're one of the better, non-homer Spurs fans here. And I understand this is a Spurs board and very few, if any, Spurs fans are going to agree with me.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Findog....I don't agree with your posts, but do respect your right to have an opinion. I do admire your conviction.

But have you thought there may be repressed reasons why you believe as you do? Perhaps the real reason you beleive as you do is that the Mavs and Dirk have been exposed as a bunch of pussies and are going down hill real fast? They have not been the same since the Golden State Massacre last year, Dirk has peaked and is on the way down and was exposed by Stephen Jackson, Avery is rapidly gaining the title as the most inept coach in the league, the Jason Kidd trade was a disaster, and you have a owner that is a real dick with man titties. Now all of that is a lot of shit to deal with and process. The Mavs really have a bleak future.

[Findog]

Why would Manu drive Stack into the ground when he had boxed him out so thoroughly and completely?


Why does Manu flail his limbs everywhere and piss off opposing players? I dunno, it usually works in getting guys to lose their cool and that helps the Spurs, perhaps?

You can't just acknowledge that Manu is savvier than Stackhouse and won the exchange. You have to kiss the Spurs ass at the same time.

[roycrikside]

I'm glad that you all are such homers that you can't see there's a pattern involving Ginobili's play and the response from other teams around the league. He's reckless and his 'style' (ie - falling down 20 times a game and flailing about) is going to end someone's career one day. The day is coming where someone is going to get so fed up with his bullshit that they break his fucking nose at center court. One fanbase, Spurs fans, will be disgusted and cry outrage. The other 29 will all know he's had it coming for some time and applaud in unison.

You can call Avery, Stackhouse, the Mavericks, etc. whatever you want. Doesn't change the fact that that big-nosed douchebag sees fit to hurl his body aimlessly around the court every game. If he played for any other team, none of you would think his way of playing is that great.

I'm pretty sure every team and every fanbase would fall in love with Manu pretty damn quickly if he was on their squad. He's everything teammates and fans want in a player. He's tough, he's clutch, he's responsible, he's unselfish and he doesn't make excuses, ever. When has a teammate ever had a negative thing to say about him?

[ChumpDumper]

dude, you're wasting your time with Findog. He has somehow convinced himself that Manu's excellent blockout was something else. Then he says Manu has history, but can't come up with specific examples of this history against the mavs. He's being a savvy troll.

[tiga]

Stackhouse comments are ridiculous, +1 for Avery... sad little general.

[roycrikside]

I know Manu is savvy and has a way of getting under people's skin, but it usually involves him taking a charge or driving to the basket when he's got the ball. On that play it was just a basic box out against a dude way more muscular than him. Stack was being a punk simply because he was frustrated that the Mavs were losing and Dirk was out. I can't really think of anything specific he did last game that would annoy the Mavs. Maybe the one offensive rebound he snatched from Dirk, I'm not sure.

All I know is quotes like the one Avery gave here is a perfect reason why I'm 100% against TimVP's idea of Pop hiring Avery as an assistant coach after the Mavs shitcan him. I'm pretty sure both Manu and Tony despise Avery and they don't have the history with him that Tim does.

[SenorSpur]

Any Mavs fan who refers to Manu as a flopper is akin to the old saying of "the pot calling the kettle black". Mavs homers, you've got "no leg to stand on here" because your noted superstar (Dirk) always flails, stumbles awkwardly and glares at the refs trying to get fouls called.

Those tactics employed by Manu, Dirk and others like them are doing may be bush league to some, but ALL competitive players are looking for an edge.

[hater]

Dirk flops more than Manu. GMAFB

[ElNono]

This whole thing comes down to mental toughness and the opposite, being a total mental midget. It doesn't matter how though you think you are, if you let other players get into your head, you're done. You're never going to see Manu arguing or trash talking another player. He will instead proceed to channel the anger into destroying your team and winning the game. That is, obviously, the smart thing to do.
On the other hand, you have the Stackhouses and Terrys who like to showboat, talk trash, act though, and let other players get into their heads. At that point, it's no longer about the basketball game, it's about their mini battle with the other guy. And when they can't live up to expectations, they implode.

So I don't really understand what Avery is talking about.
If being a man means putting your petty interests above the team, when the team really needs you, with your captain down and the need to right the ship and win, then the Mavs really need a new coach.

[Findog]

But AJ's statement strikes me as advocating just the opposite of that. Of course, by repeatedly complaining about the Spurs' players in the media (Bowen in 2006, Manu (apparently) yesterday), AJ seems to concede that his team isn't as tough, mentally or physically, as the Spurs. Still, in praising Stackhouse, AJ seems to be saying "It's okay to lose your cool, so long as it's because someone was getting physical with you." To me, that's just the opposite of the message that AJ should be sending. It's okay to back up Stackhouse, but to praise him seems extremely odd to me.

It would seem that the douchewhining all emanates from the spurs side. I have yet to find one post in this thread from a mav fan condoning what Stackhouse did or even being upset or angry with Manu aside from Shank. Both guys shrugged it off.

So keep the silver and black glasses bolted firmly on.


Stackhouse is such a thug. He has no game anymore and just relies on being dirty to make up for it. Why the fuck did we resign him?

I admit that I'm 43 years old and living in my parents basement,

seriously?

What's wrong with that? I weigh 450 lbs, I haven't seen my penis in 6 years, and I've never touched a woman's ladybits. The only thing that soothes such crushing disappointment in life is a KFC bowl.

Oh, did I not express proper reverence for your snide and condescending question? Did I not refuse to stick to my guns and continue to argue my side?

It wasn't snide and condescending, it was an actual question.

However, if you want to continue to be a little bitch like your hero Stackhouse, by all means continue.

Until this little outburst of yours, I actually had respect for your posts. Silly me.

Yeah, I'm sure you enjoyed Stack's pushing down on Manu's neck. :rolleyes Bitch fans enjoy bitch moves.

Yeah, Im sure there weren't any Spurs fans who applauded Horry for taking out Nash.
