Watch Dampier come out in game 3 and play like an even more timid little than he usually does..
Which is why i would play Hollins and Bass before i would play Singleton. And you HOF is not exactly putting up HOF numbers. So yes.
Why do half of the Spurs fans out there have to be insulting and or arrogant?Why can't you just have a reasonable discussion, support your ideas or theories, cheer hard for your team and be a good fan.
Just because your team has won 4 les does not mean you know everything or that you have the right to act like a jerk or just be plain rude and vulgar like some of the posters.
I consider myself a secondary Spurs fan. My wife is from San Antonio and there is a good chance we will move back there someday. But man half of you guys give the other half a bad name.

In a related story, Mark Cuban threatened to put the water cooler "on its back" next game, if it didn't give up those cheap little plastic cups from the despenser.
My exact thoughts when i heard about this.. The refs will have their eyes on him and all the Mavs, ready to blow the whistle and lay the smackdown on any nasty business with Tony coming to the lane. A normal flagrant 1, will become a 2 and ejections will happen.. The only ones who are gonna be timid are Damp and the Mavs in game 3, in those situations..
Dampier was just playing to the Mavs' fanbase, who collectively wonders why opposing players cannot be knocked to the floor with impunity just like on Fall Saturdays and Sundays.
Tony is a player. These bs won't get into his head. Watch him go out for 30+ on Thursday!
You dont talk about it Damp. You just do it. Jesus.
LMAO..you mean those guys who got garbage time last night? Come on...Damp is the only one on that roster who can guard Duncan..period. You take him off the floor and you'll lose by MORE than 21.
I see some good acting from TP when Dampier comes his way
Updated. I posted the original in case anyone missed it, update highlighted.
Dampier vows to put Parker on his back (UPDATED)
By Jeff McDonald
The Dallas Mavericks tried everything they could to deal with Tony Parker in Game 2.
They threw every type of defense, as many as five different players and the kitchen sink at him.
Parker had a 38-point field day anyway.
Dallas forward Erick Dampier believes he has found the solution to the Mavericks' Parker problem entering Game 3.
"Every time he drives the lane, we have to put him on his back," Dampier told the Dallas Morning News. "The first foul has to tell him he's in for a long night. My first foul Thursday night is going to put him on his back. I guarantee it."
No telling how such comments might go over with the NBA office. We'll see if he backs up his called shot Thursday.
Before the playoffs began, Parker said he was prepared to take such a pounding from like-minded opponents.
"I'm used to it," Parker said. "It's no different for me. I'm still going to try to penetrate and be aggressive. I'm definitely going to be on the ground, but I'll get up."
UPDATE: Not surprisingly, it appears Dampier has set himself for extra scrutiny in Game 3. An NBA official says the league is aware of Dampier's comments, and will be monitoring his behavior in Thursday's game.
Were was this mentality in the 2006 Finals?
When Parker is within five feet of Dampier, he should use the move that gets Dirk a whistle every time against the Spurs: trip yourself, pretend to role your ankle, fall into the shot blocker and throw the ball at the bottom of the rim.
Parker has to stand up with an indignant angry look on his face and yell something at the officials in German. That seems to work as well.
FTW
Good work Slomo
Dampier really is a dumb mofo annoucing he will knock Parker on his ass. This league calls fouls for touching someone on the elbow with a finger. As soon as Dampier lays a kiss on that pussy Parker he will be tossed.
Singleton and Diop are about as opposite as two players can get. Singleton is an undersized big who makes up for it by being ultra athletic. Diop is a seven-footer with one of the largest wingspans in NBA history who isn't athletic.
Singleton's actually more of a thug than Damp, and unlike Damp, he might be quick enough to catch Parker to put him down.
Actually fouling is not allowed. That is why they are fouls.
And knocking someone's ass out goes far beyond that. Otherwise Damp should just bring a straight razor with him to the game so he can slash at anyone that comes into the lane.Actually fouling is not allowed. That is why they are fouls.
Erick Dampier: redefining stupid.
If he is willing to get hit by Shaq, he is willing to get hit by wimpy ass Dampier.
BTW, if Damp does lay TP out and doesn't get tossed, I'd love to see KT or Bonner lay a vicious, bone-crunching pick on him the very next possession just for the of it.
