    oh please

    I've seen Shaq's whole body land on Parker the way a house landed on the wicked witch of the west. And he was still taking it to him the next plays like nothing happened.

    You've seen your Mav players play scared and choke before that you think every NBA player is like that
    Actually, the house landed on the Wicked Witch of the EAST. Her sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, melted when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her.

    But it's still funny.

    seriously, im sure there is a small seed being planted in Tony's head

    maybe he's not scared of contact but im sure in the back of his mind, he ponders the possibility of a blatant cheap shot. and with a guy that big u could land wrong and get injured.

    nice work dampier
    that is some serious cheap psychology

    Parker: Dampier not my focus
    Jeff McDonald

    DALLAS — Tony Parker had no interest in escalating a war of words with Dallas center Erick Dampier.

    Addressing Dampier's pledge to “put him on his back” in Game 3 of the teams' first-round series, Parker responded Wednesday by not really responding at all.

    “I can't focus on that,” Parker said. “It's San Antonio against Dallas. We all know they're going to come back strong. They're going to play very physical.”

    Parker slashed his way to 38 points in the Spurs' Game 2 victory, prompting Dampier to threaten the point guard with a hard foul the first time he ventures into the lane tonight. After a visit from NBA security, Dampier backed off his comments Wednesday, saying he had to intention of hurting Parker.

    Given the nature of the Spurs' 105-84 triumph Monday, Parker's teammates say they weren't surprised to hear of Dampier's remarks.

    “That's a team that had somebody score (38) points on them,” Roger Mason Jr. said. “Tony lives by getting in the paint. He'll get hit, he'll get up. Tony's a tough guy, and we all have his back.”

    Parker has already taken one hard shot in the series, a Game 2 takedown courtesy of Jason Terry that earned the Dallas guard a Flagrant 1. Asked if the threat of bodily harm would be enough to keep Parker out of the lane in Game 3, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich chuckled.

    “Have you seen Tony play for eight years?” Popovich said. “He's a tough kid.”

    Speaking of tough: Spurs forward Drew Gooden says he's good to go for Game 3, two nights after a collision with Josh Howard left him nursing a sore right shoulder and spitting blood.

    All Gooden needed was a nice, long soak in the hot tub.

    “The hot tub was the best thing for it,” Gooden said. “After I got out of there, I felt a lot better. I haven't been spitting up blood since that night, so that's a good thing.”

    Argentine role model: Acknowledging the report that Terry had been named winner of the NBA's Sixth Man Award, coach Rick Carlisle heaped high praise on Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, calling him the role model for great players willing to adapt for the good of their team.

    While praising Terry's willingness to embrace the sixth man role, Carlisle pointed to Ginobili, who won last year's Sixth Man Award, as an example for all players.

    “A lot of star caliber players would struggle with that,” Carlisle said. “Ginobili's been a guy the last two or three years who has embraced that and looked at it as a way to help his team. That's a great example for all guys in our league.”

    Game 5 set: Game 5 of the series will tip off at 8:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on TNT.
