    Funny how Najera can become a hero to Dallas fans for simply attacking someone from behind. It's funny because only a handful of players can do what Ginobili does as a player. But anyone in the NBA, and most of the fans in the stand, could do what Najera did. We can all flagrantly foul someone from behind. So why do we admire someone for doing it?

    By the way, Manu was all class. Picks himself up and makes two free throws and then hits the biggest shot of the game a few minutes later.

    It's Official. The League has reviewed it, and here are the results:

    Najera: He sucks.

    The Mavs: They are soft.

    Cuban: He is to blow up the team.

    Cuban's Future: He is to keep his mouth shut and fade into oblivion.

    The league would be doing the mavs a favor; however Carlisle would see it as a huge loss

    Back then that would be just a very hard foul, and would be just a flagrant and that is all. Actually that might actually be considered a very light foul compared to some of the hard fouls of the past.

    Players used to do these things all the time to send a message.
    So what's your point? It's very clear that you can't do it now.

    I find it hard to believe that Rick Carlisle would obey gametime instructions from Mark Cuban. Whatever his faults, he's a legitimate and accomplished NBA coach, and that would ruin him if it became public knowledge.

    Najera's high-fiving of the Dallas fans as he left was captured on national TV. Don't be surprised if that gets him a suspension. Can you imagine how pissed off you would be, as an NBA executive watching that?

    Horry was suspended for less in 2007. This guy will be out two games. Not that it matters.

    The flagrant foul rules have been in place a lot longer than ten years.

    NBA taking no further action on Eduardo Najera for Flagrant 2 foul against Manu Ginobili. Najera to play in Game 5. #nbap10

    Hope Carlisle keeps to his idea of giving Najera more PT.

    Did you see the fan get in his face with a digital camera and Najera take a swipe at the camera? Wonder what the fan said. And Mavs fans high fiving the guy is classless. I would have told those fans some if I was sitting next to them and saw it.

    Manu Ginobili is the purest basketball player on the planet.
