It's a joke.

Isn't that a Patton Oswalt joke?

[hater]

Stack's been in the league 13 years now? How many times do you see him responding this way to getting boxed out? What he did was wrong, but in his mind it was retaliation.

I forgot, Manu is Jesus. He can do no wrong.

Stackhouse and Terry have gotten more suspensions during their career than all the current SPurs combined.

damn stop justifying violence Fin... we all know you're better than that! this is getting old....

How am I justifying it? What stack did was wrong. I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp

[Findog]

I rewatched it like 10 times. There is no elbow from Manu. When you box out you are supposed to use your arms too.

Wrong. You have to be careful where your elbows go. Players take exception to flying elbows. I got ed at last week in a pickup game for using my elbows while setting a hard screen. The other guy didn't appreciate it and got in my face to let me know. It was totally unintentional on my part and I think he understood it, but it was a warning to be more careful.

and you bringing up Manu's past flopping into this conversation just shows you are one dumb bas

Opposing players sure think the way Manu plays is relevant. Like I said, I don't see Stackhouse completely losing his over getting boxed out like that.

Yes.

How many times have you seen Stack get boxed out by a "smaller" white boy, after blowing a big lead, while his team is suddenly in jeopardy of not making the playoffs, in the same game that earlier his team's best player went down with a really nasty looking injury?

Are you saying the guy playing in the pick up game, should have grabbed you from behind and thrown you down for not having control of your body?

= getting ape owned on a pick up game and almost ass kicked...

lol at considering Stack better than that

No, but I can understand him being upset. I can understand Stack being upset, I can't condone what he did in response.

How many times have you seen opposing players take exception to Manu's tactics? I didn't ask how many times opposing players use his face as a trampoline, I'm asking how many times do opposing players get upset over the way he controls, or doesn't control, as the case may be, his body?

Bull , you knew exactly what you were doing flailing around like that.

I do and yesterday, I did.

C'mon Findog, you know Stack better than that. He's got an history of being stupid:

The Mavericks' Jerry Stackhouse and the Jazz's Kirk Snyder were suspended a game without pay by the league yesterday for a postgame scuffle after Dallas's win over Utah on Saturday. Following the game, Stackhouse and Snyder scuffled in a hallway near the Jazz team bus.

LINK

Detroit Pistons Christian Laettner and Jerry Stackhouse got into a fight aboard the team plane while returning from a game at Charlotte, a newspaper said Friday.

LINK

When Stackhouse was asked about Williams's comments, Stackhouse replied "Jerome Who?" He repeated it a couple of more times before disappearing into the locker room. The story goes that Williams approached Stackhouse while the two were getting dressed to leave the team's practice facility. Supposedly taking a threatening pose, Williams looked down on Stackhouse before the shooting guard slammed him into a cubicle and started jostling with Williams

LINK

The NBA suspended San Antonio Spurs forward Robert Horry two games without pay for his role in a physical confrontation with Dallas Mavericks forward Jerry Stackhouse, in which the Mavericks say Horry bit Stackhouse on the arm. Replays of the incident showed Horry attempting to bite Stackhouse's arm, but Horry's teeth never made contact with Stackhouse's skin.

I never said that Stackhouse was a guy averse to throwing down.

In the many, all the years Manu has played for the Spurs, only ONCE I've seen an opposing player bleed out of the flailing and elbowing you accuse Manu of. It was Ron Artest in a Sacto game. I've seen Manu bleed, or getting a black eye so many more times it's not even funny.

I'm aware of that, the most recent that comes to mind is G3 against Phoenix last year. And I'm not really pissed about what he did, it's par for the course with him. Both guys shrugged it off as in the heat of the battle, although Stackhouse came out looking worse.

[Findog]

you're not too bright are you?

How many times before yesterday has Stackhouse reacted like this to just a boxout? I didn't ask how many times did he confront Kirk Snyder in the locker room for throwing illegal elbows, how many times he punched Christian Laettner on a team plane for cheating at cards, how many times he went up to Antoine Walker during a game and told him to STFU or he'd kick his ass. Stack is unquestionably nuts, not a guy whose sister you would want to accidentally sleep with. Not everybody would react the way he did, but most guys would get just as angry. How is this so hard to understand?

My only point here is that Manu is not well liked by opposing players because they believe this stuff isn't incidental. You can debate that till the cows come home. It's the same thing with Bowen, a trip here or an elbow there may be no big deal, but it's perceived as being part of a pattern. How is that so hard to concede?

that's it? sure I concede Manu is not well liked by opponents. because he makes them look stupid then beats them. even he said he's not in the NBA to make friends.

now you concede that what stackhouse did was dirty and worthy of a suspension

[Cry Havoc]

And how many times has Manu initiated contact that caused another player to attempt to physically assault him while he's lying prone on the ground? I can play the "there's no history of this" game too.

I haven't backtracked on anything. Go back to the beginning of this thread, I've consistently refused to defend Stack's response. His anger is understandable, losing his cool is not.
