What's a hatter? A person in the hat business or what? Why are you mad? Did your hat business fail?

lololol
I think he is just mad because his pussy is still bleeding from the finals rape
And he can't cover it up with his hats because he went out of business and had to sell them all 75% off, which didn't make him a profit, hence his madness.
Do you honestly think he was actually gonna fight him? It was nothing more than show and is simply a stronger way of saying " you, scrub".
You act like he went "Ron Artest" on us last night.
Be a professional, and don't get dragged into physical confrontations in a preseason game by lesser players while still recovering from injury, because your team's hopes rest upon your fragile, can't-win-the-big-game shoulders?
Based on his reaction, he wanted to throw a punch. Yes, I think he wanted to fight. When you are a franchise superstar player, you laugh it off and walk away. You don't put your team in a bad position by getting a suspension or getting injured in a fight. Anything can happen when gets escalated.
You don't react to stupid from scrub players. That's why the Rockets got Artest. That's what Chuck Hayes and Carl Landry are there for. You don't get involved in if you're T-Mac.
And, again, it's the ing pre-season.
My point exactly. He wanted to do those things, as anyone would. You say he is a superstar and shouldn't fight. That is exactly why he didn't fight.
He knew exactly what he was doing last night was only going to get in House's face.
I think toughness is what the Rockets need. Tracy should not go overboard with that annoying tough guy KG b.s., but it is good to play with intensity.
B.S. It wasn't even his own teammates holding him back. It was Paul Pierce. He didn't fight because Pierce broke it up. Don't even get that close. When a scrub talks and touches you, laugh at the scrub and walk away. You're too valuable to your team to do something stupid.
if you know tracy he never gets involved in confrontations, even when desmond mason commited an extremely questionable flagrant over him, his teammates came to his side.
As a rockets fan watching tmac over the yrs, he has appeared to care less and less. Kryalinko and harpring had both hands on him the entire time during the playoffs last yr, when they did they same thing to Kobe...i loved this....he took his elbow and jammed it on harpring's chin and went for a reverse.
Considering the vids that have been posted, plus last night, I'd say that you're the one who doesn't know the man.
damned if you do, damned if you don't. You'd be riding his jock for bending over and taking it with no retaliation.
well said.I guess some Mavs fans have forgotten what has happened the last 3 years.The big Finals collapse, the 67 wins/ 1st round n out and the Hornets -slapping Dirk out of the first round last year.Yet everyone wants to talk smack on the Rockets?
Yeah, because Manu's generally regarded as such a pussy for not getting into shoving matches with people.damned if you do, damned if you don't. You'd be riding his jock for bending over and taking it with no retaliation.
WGAS about manu.
I don't think I've ever liked the Rockets more than after watching those highlights. Unless you're a Celtic fan I don't get how you can like that team.
And who the is this "Mad Hatter" stealing my username?
Even though JamStone is right, Eddie House did go over the line by putting his hands on T-Macs face... you still have to let that go.
Maybe he should take a lesson from Dirk on self control in those situations. Mind you it would be easier to have self control when its a 6'10" 250 guy doing it.
Only people who like winners.
good for you, that's your team. I don't really care one way or another. I would take him on my team, but only then would I start to care about him so to speak. Congrats on him being a winner.
Nope. Actually I thought Dirk did right when he got touched in the face by David West for not retaliating in any way. When you're a franchise superstar, you don't jeopardize your team with risk of suspension or injury from a fight.damned if you do, damned if you don't. You'd be riding his jock for bending over and taking it with no retaliation.
i thought Dirk did the right thing, too. my HS coach always say: the best way to retaliate is to win the game and laugh at his face.
Walker is a punk. It was soft but after he finished a follow up dunk gave LeBron a hit to the guts. Bill will be on a poster if he make it onto the floor.
I don't know where the y'all are from, but if some guy jams his finger into your damn head......you DO NOT just "walk away". That's completely re ed and absolutely pussified.
In sports there are messages sent all the time (teams trying to intimidate teams).....when somebody pulls your card, which is what House tried to do (which is what West did to Dirk), you don't just walk the away....you stand up for yourself and let the opponent know that kinda is not going to fly and your not going to be rolled over like that..
Here's a actual ex-player talking about the situation and I'll take his advice over any "just walk away" guidance counselor wanna be in this thread....

That kinda behavior is flat unacceptable....that's being "mentally weak", you never let anybody disrespect you like that, especially a damn opponent.... at the very least....smack the guys hand out of your damn face. Your opponent will respect you more in the long run, instead of him thinking your just a little that he can get over on.
I have no problem with what Tmac did, Houston is trying to send a message this year.....their toughness has been called into question by everybody including some in the local media....they're trying to send a message early on that this is a different team, different at ude, and they aren't taking that crap......it's no different then what the Tamp Bay Rays did during their spring training/regular season.
In the Dirk situation......I can't really blame Dirk that much though, because he wasn't raised over here, and probably just doesn't know better.......I (especially if I was a Mavs fan) am more pissed at his teamates (players that have been playing with him for years) who didn't run over there in defense of their franchise player. I mean look what happened when Yao got pushed by Walker, Artest was Johny on the spot like in a couple of seconds......and what, that was their third game playing together. If I was Avery I would've laid into my team about that....you don't allow someone to do that to your "star" either.

Its funny to see Mavs fans talking about this, when jHo did the same ing thing last year, running the length of the court trying to start a fight with god knows who. What's even funnier is that the justification back then was that 'Dallas was sending a message' that they were not going to be pushed around. Sounds familiar? Same some Rox fan just regurgitated?
The reality is that you send messages by winning when it matters, not by letting other guys get into your head. Or you do like Dirk, you take the abuse then get your ass kicked.
