Dampier questions Carl Landry's toughness

[Findog]

Are you sure about that?

Hey, it's Spur fan. Asking them to pay attention is too onerous.

[Indazone]

The last time the Mavericks and Rockets tangled, Houston forward Carl Landry left some of his teeth in Dirk Nowitzki's elbow. The nasty collision left Nowitzki with s ches, while Landry required emergency, five-hour dental work.

Both players missed one game, returning four nights later. Coincidentally, both players scored 27 points in their respective games. Nowitzki continues to wear a big, puffy elbow pad for protection. Landry showed up with a a set of brand-new chompers. Pretty tough huh?

Mavericks center Erick Dampier, not known as much of a trash talker, didn't seem impressed on Wednesday with Landry's quick recovery.

"Is he tough? We don’t know if he’s tough," Dampier said. "We just know he got his teeth knocked out. I mean there’s still a question about his toughness. We’ll see how he plays tomorrow."

Dude just called out Landry. Landry is going to be fired up. I bet he burns Dampier for over 20 pts if he gets his minutes.

It's not smart to call out Landry, dude is tough, but if he backs it up like he did against Parker than I am all for this. Plus the Mavs have a habit of sleepwalking through games they should win, they need something to energize them a bit.

As for the Spurfans calling Damp soft, whatever. The guy has a lot of things to dislike, but he is one of the strongest and toughest players in the league. I wish he could play like this for two more years, it's hard to find a 7footer who protects the rim like he does.

Dampier calling Landry not tough is like DrHouse saying he is leaving cuz of the trolling on this board.

[The Franchise]

Carl is gonna have that overpaid fouled out in the first half.

an away game against a good rox team is one they "should" win?

I think he means that if Ariza continues to throw up enough bricks that he can supply River Oaks with 10 new houses, then yes they "should" win

[Basketballgirl25]

Dampier saying this, proves he is just like all other NBA players, they just talk to talk. No one should really care what any nba player says, they all talk bull anyway

Rockets and Adleman going with the law of averages. If Ariza continues to jack em up, eventually he might start hitting 39 percent of his shots instead of 38 percent and maybe eventually get it up to 40 percent.

Im kind of confused of how dampier backed up his talking against parker.... the entire spurs team sucked that game and Parker was the leading scorer and Dampier had like 3 points and 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. Sounds like a typical Dampier game to me. Parker was the high scorer for the Spurs so I am just wondering how that means Dampier backed up his talk... please explain. I missed the game so maybe more happened in the game but judging by the boxscore its not like Parker did terrible.

[Ron Ron Artest]

not to mention Parker only played 21 minutes and still managed 12 points, 4 rebs, and 3 assists.

The first step is going from 37 percent to 38

Poor Dirk, I mean such an amazing talent surrounded by such ty talent, it is really a shame...And somebody try to encourage Dampier to wash his sandy vagina

Way to change the subject, 130-99 in Houston.

It's kinda like Prince questioning Tupac's manhood...just ain't right.

I have no doubt the Mavs are gonna win tonight. Mavs are a better team. As a Rocketfan I hope I'm wrong though. On the other hand, Mavfans should just admit to themselves that Dirk can't lead them to a le.

I always lmao when Rocketfan tries to talk trash about Dirk having no rings. Houstons franchise player for the 2nd half of this decade hasn't even gotten out of the first round
And Yao has only been out once

Prince is more of a man than Tupac.

The Spurs were getting so completely dominated in that game that Pop pulled all the starters, Parker included, in the 3rd quarter. Dampier's interior defense was a huge factor.
