It didn't accomplish "nothing" Tim...
The score after that happened was Mavericks 53 Suns 36...and the Suns were in control at the time it happened...
I think him walking THRU the Mavs fired them up...
Thomas not happy about flagrant foul

Suns forward Tim Thomas made it plain he didn’t appreciate or respect the flagrant foul from Dallas’ Josh Howard late in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.
Howard hit Thomas in the face on a drive to the basket. Thomas then walked through Howard and Dallas teammate Jason Terry on his way to the free throw line, and he and Terry exchanged shoves before each was hit with a technical foul.
Thomas said he plans no retribution against Howard or Terry (“I’m not going to pick on the little guys; I’ll go after a 7-footer or 6-11-plus guy”), even though the opportunities are plentiful.
“Their little guys are constantly going to the lane and it would be easy to take someone out,” Thomas said. “But that’s not me and not the way you play the game. I don’t know if it was trying to set a tone or a message, but it does absolutely nothing.”
Thomas recalled a 2004 playoff game when he was with the Knicks in which he was carried off the court on a stretcher after being hit by Jason Collins of the Nets while in the air. Thomas demanded retaliation from his teammates that time — he did no such thing Monday.
“I’ve been in situations like that before — being paralyzed from the waist down for 10 minutes,” he said. “When a guy is going up and is vulnerable and you come across his body for a hard foul — it’s not a good play.”

You've been quoted, Tim. Try and do anything of the sort and you and your painted-on beard will be gone for months. Now's not the time to act like you're tough when you've been known as a pussy for years now.

the flagrant was lame. going at someone's head like that is weak.
And what is sheepishly walking through someone's huddle? I loved it when Thomas walked through them and tried to glare at Howard. He didn't even flinch and Thomas walked away like the fugazi pussy he is.
i thought him walking through the huddle was pretty funny, but it accomplished nothing at all.
It was funny because everyone knows he's a puss and won't do anything. They all had a look like, "Look at this right here".
It was really dumb of his to say that. If he gets a flagarant any time in the series even if it is an accident this quote will come back to haunt him.
He missed the ball...
Sure it did...it cost his team because it fired up the Mavs...
I hate the way Thomas acts but I respect his basketball skills. What the is that thing he does with his hand after he hits a 3?
I think he ripped that from John Cena - the "you can't see me" hand wipe?
Way to rip off a wannabe rapper honkey, Tim.
Unless it's a Spur doing it, then it's just being tough and not allowing any easy scores.Y'all hate the Mavs so damn much you can't even think straight...it's hilarious.
uhh anyone going at someone's head on the court is weak, regardless of what team they play for. get a clue.Unless it's a Spur doing it, then it's just being tough and not allowing any easy scores.
Looked like he was making some kind of attempt at the ball, he came hard on the left and Thomas switched the ball to the left. Howard was an inch away from getting the ball.
Doesn't look like a play on the ball to me.
After reading through this thread, I feel like Bob Barker should revise his closing comments to...
"Help control the pest population, have your Mav fans spayed or neutered"
90% of Maverick fans are morons! Have a nice day!

pssst. spayed. =o
That's what I originally typed, but when I doublechecked with Merriam-Webster Online, this is what came up.
Main Entry: spay
Pronunciation: 'spA, nonstand 'spAd
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): spayed /'spAd, nonstand 'spA-d&d/; spay·ing /'spA-i[ng], nonstand 'spA-di[ng]/
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French espeer to cut with a sword, from Old French, from espee sword, from Latin spatha sword -- more at SPADE
: to remove the ovaries of (a female anima
I should've clicked on SPADE. If I had, I'd have seen that it linked my from spay to spade as in garden tool.
Stupid site. I knew what I meant and their confusing definition page ed up my joke
Tim Thomas was really hit in the face kinda brutally, in my opinion. Oh and is walking in between two players really that awful? LOL...And what does that little punch-in-the groin Jason Terry do? Oh he shoves Tim along with the help Mr. Dirk, himself...Interesting...looks like Jason Terry learned NOTHING from his suspencion...That's why I'm rooting for the Suns...I've got no respect for the Dallas players because of their at ude problems...there is no other player that I can't stand as much as I can't stand Terry...grow up! SO what if he went through you! o, Josh Howard just hit Tim in the face! It's not like Tim was trying to fight Josh or anyone else after that...So what if he walked through you...
The proverbial "big picture" has eluded you.
Care to elaborate? Please... do shed some light on the significance of your calling out of Tim Thomas.
you have your opinions...I've got mine...If you love players who punch other players when they are mad, well, that's good for you, then....Keep rooting for these guys...sorry but they've got no "class"...
There was no play on the ball really, looked like he just didn't want him to get the easy score. I didn't think it was vicious
weak, why did he had to walk through terry n howard to take ft shots, lame, suns rigged this
The JET is really becoming nothing more than a cheap shot artist.
Keep an eye on him. He'll take a shot at someone anytime he thinks the ref isn't looking...
, even Tony was saying how many cheap shots he took at him...
Somebody needs to lay his punk ass out. Maybe he'll stop that .
He didn't just "walk between players"...his path went straight into Terry's back, moving him out of the way. And Terry and Dirk's "shove" as you called it was nothing close to a "shove"...
The Mavs have been called soft for YEARS and they finally get a few guys that will stand up for their team and you'd think they were were the '89 Pistons based on some of these Spurs fans responses...
Bitter Spurs fans...I love it...
LMAO...
Frenchies aren't known for their toughness, so it's not surprising that he'd consider Terry a cheap shot artist...
