Jason Terry suspended (old thread)

[Trainwreck2100]

Damn. Nobodies going to want to play Denver.

There will be a rising demand for cups

[T Park]

the nba, Stern, Finley, and Poopovich. you all.

Oh god, butch up Dirk.

[Holmes_Fans]

Yeah, the fadeaway jumpshooting, flailing fraulein is real exciting.

Why do they call that guy Jet anyways. He's like the 20th fastest PG in the league? Was he the fstest kid in his 6th grade class and got the nickname?

Jason [b]E]/b]ugene Terry........durrrrka durrr

[timvp]

Oh and props to Michael Finley for selling it.

Dude, get mad at your own player. You don't do dirty crap like that and get away with it. It's no ones fault except his.

Oh and props to Michael Finley for selling it.

LMAO

There's not really much you need to sell when you're punched in the nuts.

Saw the video. Fine with Jet being suspended...IF....Fin was too. He started it by throwing his hip into Jets head as he is already on the ground and making it hit the ground. A reaction punch should be punished. Fine. but what caused it should be too.

Why are you blaming Finley and Pop? They didn't do .

[sa_butta]

the nba, Stern

Im glad we can agree on something.

Sorry but you can't make up the rules as you go along.

There's set rules for this kind of stuff.

At least Bowen calmed Finley down. He almost lost it.

Bowen was very cool in the closing seconds. He also stopped Duncan from overcelebrating Bowen's block. Then he calmed down Finley after the punch.

[whottt]

He stopped Bowen from overcelebrating Bowen's block.

If anyone could stop Bruce...it'd be Bruce.

[polandprzem]

Now Aj has one less weapon on his side.
I hope the spurs take adventage of that.

Horry must to stepup and nobody on the mavs team shouldn't go off.

[Kori Ellis]

If anyone could stop Bruce...it'd be Bruce.

I fixed the typo already.

[Shaolin-Style]

I saw an amusing post on the troll-filled espn message boards, and a nice response

"If you condone Terry's actions....
then you are not a MAN, plain and simple."

"exactly.

Remember the MAN LAWs.

No punching another man in the nuts. Period."

Make up rules? What? Hip checking/piledriving someones head into the floor is suspendible. Those are the set rules. You can't just ignore the side of the infraction on your teams side. Oh wait, I forgot certain sets of fans seem to apply the double standard on a consistent basis.

[Spurs Dynasty]

Unbeavable. Bowen punches whomever he's guarding 50 times a game.

Yeah, hardly a game goes by that Bowen doest rack someone in the nutz.

[sa_butta]

Is that in the rulebook?

The league looked at it.

If there was anything suspendable that Finley was doing, he would have been suspended.

[Spurs Dynasty]

You know, i cant believe my eyes... Now these Mav fans are defending a player...
... PUNCHING A GUY IN THE BALLS WHEN HE IS ON THE FLOOR !!!!!!!!!!

Well, that says it all.

Get a grip.

Posts like yours are the main reason so many people think Maverick fans are idiots.

WOAI video

. Terry is lucky the refs didn't see that. Or did they? Does stuie jackson consider giving refs fines for missing things like that? It won't matter because the bill will go directly to Cubie mail.

1 if that even happened, we have no idea if that was intentional since if it more than possible that Michael lost his balance while trying to get a jump ball situation. 2 An intentional punch is an automatic suspension. 3 It was to the groin, a very sensitive area for us guys 4 Michael was extremely upset which he would not have been, had he initiated it. Bruce had to restrain Michael.

All of those points show that there is not any basis for penalty for Michael.
Apparently, NBA agrees since Michael has not been fined or suspended.

[whottt]

Whott, news flash: the Lakers aren't the Spurs.


Jason Terry put up 30 + points in one of the games we lost.

Spurs won't get overconfident in an elimination game on the road. If they lose (which I don't think they will), it won't be due to overconfidence.

If being without Terry is better for the team (as some here seem to suggest), why doesn't Cuban get rid of him or Avery keep him on the bench. I mean Cuban and Avery both want to win, don't they? So, apparently they seem to feel that having Terry on the court and playing enormous minutes benefits them. Do you really think that the Mavericks without Terry are better than or equal to the Mavericks with Terry?

Anyone really believe that and want to try to defend that? Any intellectual gymnists present?

You oversimplfy things...

Jason Terry is not an immortal...he's capable of having a big game, he's also capable of sucking...


Thats like asking if Lou Gehrig was so great how come he couldn't beat out Wally Pipp.

You act like coaches never decide to yank players for ty play, or players never beat out other players late in the season...


Haven't you ever seen Tony or Manu's ass get yanked from a game for ty play?

How come Robert Horry and his 6 rings and playoff resume can't get off the bench?

Jason Terry is not essential for the Mavs to beat us...and if he's having an off night, he may indeed make it easier for us to win...

This suspension could help us...it could also hurt us depending on what the unknowns playing behind him do. For all we know Terry just started his last game as a Mav...Unlikely but...it's not like Terry is Jordan...he wasn't that great last night.
