huge difference between talking and threatening someone...
Only Michael Jordan was allowed to talk during the playoffs

Well done Dampier!Even if the 6-11, 265-pound center avoids further sanction from the league for his "guarantee," Dampier has potentially compromised the Mavericks' efforts to contain Parker and Tim Duncan, almost certainly inviting closer scrutiny from the referees who will be working Thursday night when the series shifts to Dallas.
Plus, we all know the refs are the Mavs best friends
Watch for the boomerang effect. The league will announce that Dampier didn't mean anything by the comment, and that it was just a statement made "in the heat of battle". No action necessary. But they will keep an eye on physical play between the two teams.
Then they will call ridiculous fouls on our bigs for making contact with Dampier. The inference will be that they had to clamp down on retaliation against Dampier for his comments.
I don't want to hear any excuses from Mavs fans.... I hope no suspension only fines. Anyways, Dampier is just all talk. He's just trying to intimidate Parker like what Lakers did back in 2006 Western Finals.
This would be a sweet time for Parker to have Manu or CP's flopping ability. The refs are looking for it... Sell it to them and get this chump sold up the river for the rest of the game.
Fouls are still violations of the rules.

@ Dampier's blatant pre-meditated assault.
2004 second round that was.. Thank you
what are you talking about?
I would love to see Tony flop and give him a big ol smile haha
that would be awesome...at least it would teach him to keep his mouth shut.
I think everyone of us Spurs fans would be willing to pitch in and buy a bunch of water coolers just to watch little Markie punch them all game long. At least that would mean our Spurs were winning. he,he
Tony can flop pretty damn good. He usually goes flying when he wants a foul called. He has his 'Saaaaaaaaaaaaaafe!!!' slide down pat.
you know what would be really funny? the coyote doing an imitation of that jackass Mark Cuban at half time throwing punches to the coolers in the middle of the court.
Thank you dumbass Dampier!
I wasn't sure what to do with this, there are a couple of Dampier threads. But it has 'other news'. Please move if it belongs merged.
Dampier "under review" for Parker comments
By Jeff McDonald
Dallas center Erick Dampier is "under review" by the NBA for promising to put Tony Parker "on his back" in Game 3 of the teams' first-round series.
That could result in a fine for Dampier. It will almost certainly result in increased scrutiny.
A league official says the league will be monitoring Dampier's actions during Thursday's game.
After a Game 2 in which Parker zipped to 38 points in a Spurs victory, Dampier told the Dallas Morning News that he personally plans to ensure sure the French point guard has a rougher go in Game 3.
"The first foul has to tell him he's in for a long night," Dampier told the newspaper. "My first foul Thursday night is going to put him on his back. I guarantee it."
In other Spurs news ...
* A day after falling so hard on his backside he wound up spitting blood, Spurs forward Drew Gooden didn't feel it neccesary to show up for treatment Tuesday. By the looks of things, he should be good to go in Game 3.
* Give Bruce Bowen credit for shutting down J.J. Barea in Game 2. After taking over the fourth quarter of Game 1, Barea was a non-factor Monday. It's the second time this season Bowen has had success on Barea. Look for more of that matchup going forward.
* Dirk Nowitzki's numbers after two games: 10-of-29 from the field, a combined 33 points from the field, zero 3-pointers. Nowitzki finished the season with 25 consecutive 20-point games. The last time he went two playoff games without hitting 20 points was May 5 and 7, 2005 against Houston. Obviously, the Spurs -- and, yes, that means Matt Bonner, too -- deserve credit to making things difficult on Dirk.
dirk is going off soon
You're right! 2006 was Miami, I totally forgot about them.Thank you!2004 second round that was.. Thank you

Yep! I'm sure they have something planned for game 5.
