This thing gets even better... the Dallas media is fanning the conspiracy fire stating that the league office is located in Miami.
Last I checked NBA HQ is up in New York.![]()
Inability to "reach or jump that high" is not an excuse. His elbow was aimed right at his head. I'd think Stackhouse is capable of commiting a foul on Shaq without having to blindside him.
Also, and this may come as a surprise, just because Shaq is as big as he is that is not an excuse for players to intentionally go at him with excessive force or unacceptable contact.

Dude, where do you get your ? Do you even live in Dallas? Who is this "Dallas media" you speak of? Because damn near everything you've said about what goes on in this city has been convoluted or just straight bull . Shut the up already. You obviously don't know what's going on around here.
Sure they shouldn’t foul him or anyone else but then neither should he……
He has drawn blood how many times this series now???
Perhaps in the mind of some a picture of Shaq being a victim here is possible…….. I would not be one of them…
I do agree though Stack could have been a bit more tactful as his inertia alone would have been enough to send the “repe ive victimizer’s” ass to the hardwood…….
Yes I live in Dallas. KFWD (News 8) 10 o'clock news broadcast. Piss off, .Dude, where do you get your ? Do you even live in Dallas? Who is this "Dallas media" you speak of? Because damn near everything you've said about what goes on in this city has been convoluted or just straight bull . Shut the up already. You obviously don't know what's going on around here.
I'm sorry you got your gay ass green and blue beer goggles on that obstruct your view from what the rest of us call reality. YOU shut the up, ing pussy ass Mav fan.
I guess I'd be bitter too if someone was posting all the drivel coming out of my town's idiotic ass sportswriters, reinforcing the idiocy of the Mavs posters on this forum. Actually the the press spews up here probably explains a lot of your stupid ass posts.
Give M'Benga as Stack's tag team partner. He's a blackbelt in Judo![]()
WFAA is Channel 8, ABC.
You've proven my point. Thank you.
Man.. I don't understand the league sometimes. They'll suspend Stack for this but won't suspend Evans for a clear nut grab?
That will forever remain a mystery.....
Stern already said that he wanted to suspend him, but Jackson made the decision while Stern was mid-flight in an airplane.
What is nutgrabing classified under?
A JET punch x10 with a little more affection
Just because he drew blood on Stackhouse's gigantic caveman nose doesn't mean the guy has to try and send him a few rows into the stands... this just reinforced Jerry's " " status and the fact that he can't let go of getting smacked in the face by Shaq on a non-intentional act... and again, I'm ok with Shaq throwing Dirk an elbow every now and then because that pussy deserves to see what real contact is like rather than getting all these touch fouls on the perimeter...
Try not to hit opponents in the head or the nads, Mavfan. Everything else is actual basketball.
Reading many of these posts just plain out makes me laugh. You guys will eat up anything that is thrown against the Mavs since we beat you. Many claiming Terry is a thug, and Stack is now considered a dirty player. Sparky is the main guy who cracks me up the most, he will never go down and just keep boasting of how stack really deserves it. "He was aiming for his head!", and others claming he hit him in the head, when in fact he was grazed as stack and shaq were coming down from their jump. Heck, shaq was fouled so hard he didn't even aim and shoot for the rim. Now here is a better angle of the hard foul, in which your bitterness only allows you what you want to see.
The only reason he fell as he did was because of his stance with stack being in front of him.
Where are the Cuban quotes? Based on his reaction to an obvious mandatory suspension (Terry) I've been really looking forward to hearing him discuss this one, which was more of a judgement call. Don't let me down, Mark.![]()
One I just heard on ESPN News went something like "Shaq can elbow people accidently, but when Stack fouls him hard he gets suspended?".C'mon Cubie, I thought you could do a little better then that.
So what exactly is your rational, unbiased opinion? That Stack clearly didn't deserve the suspension and it's a conspiracy against Dallas?
Here you are.
Mark Cuban:

"It makes no sense at all," owner Mark Cuban wrote in an e-mail. "There have been more 'accidental' elbows to Mavs players' heads this series than is statistically possible. (Wasn't it [Heat coach Pat] Riley who said that there is no such thing as an accidental elbow?) More stiff arms to faces of our double teams, all without response from the league."
[...]
"Shaq creates more dangerous contact camping in the lane for 5 seconds trying to set an NBA finals record for charges taken by a center than Stack did trying to prevent a layup," Cuban wrote.
Did you even watch the game?
That angle is probably the most favorable to your argument, which is why I'm guessing you chose it. He wasn't "in front" of Shaq...he was catching up to him from behind and at best was side-by-side with him.
The foul was dirty, he got suspended. happens. Terry has a history of taking cheap shots at players, and Stack is known as a physical borderline dirty player. That's not rumors, it's pretty much accepted fact throughout the league.
Ah good stuff from Cuban, as I was hoping. Basically he's saying Shaq shouldn't be allowed to play because he's too big. Makes sense to me...
edit: I love that "stiff arms to our double teams" part. I assume he's talking about that 1 (ONE) play where Harris came to double and Shaq held him back with one arm, like a ing rag doll.
