Having the league pass, I have seen a few Jazz games and that Snyder kid is one tough mutha. He is a Jerry Sloan type player and doesn't back down to anyone. In many ways, he reminds of Mario Elie. He plays physical and is very vocal on the floor.
No, i didn't hear the ticket talking about it. But I did watch the game, and saw Snyder being a little punk the whole game.

Stackhouse got in a fight right? Nobody is denying it, right? So what exactly are Spurs fans assuming?
You should be worried about what your players do and what decisions they make, not the opinnions we have of them.
MOUSE!!! MOUSE!!! WHERE ARE YOOOOUUUUUUUU!?? Seriously the guy disappears when there's anything about the Mavericks. Chicken
Both players have been suspended for one game, Stackhouse tonight against the Grizzlies, Snyder tomorrow vs. the Clippers.
I hate Stackhouse and Nowitskiaiosdfhka or whatever. Stackhouse is just a thug with a bad at ude. Anyone who picks a fight with Manu is just ridiculous because Manu's a very classy guy. Nowitasjkfkdsdf just acts like he's all that all the time. Hold's his head up when playing Duncan, thinks the refs should baby him, its just ridiculous. I get so mad when Duncan looks at the refs when I know he fouled. Good thing he doesn't do it all the time.
He's already been here with another le! Scroll back and you will be able to pick him out!
I smell a rat, er Mouse: Mavs Troll Mulvany
It's like.....Michael Stackhouse or Jerry Finley
isn't it funny how the mavs have like 5 of the EXACT same players just at different heights and skin colors
i swear i have forgotten that they have Jason Terry on their team like every time i see them on TV, then i remember.
The mavs can deal without him. They have many other players that can do exactly what he does but with less dunk potential.
adrienne, this thread is not for you. Please note the photo at the top of the thread (initial post) and you'll have your clue as to what this is about.
she usually comes in really pouty if you say a bad thing about the Mavericks.
Didnt she hate the trade for Stackhouse???
Bandwagoner.
Hate the trade for Stackhouse? I may have been wary, but he's proven himself valuable.
i've never seen so many spurs fans bitter about a mavs team that's never won anything. i could understand cuban getting under your skin, but if stackhouse was still a wizard this thread would have never started. i'm not gonna say stackhouse wasn't guilty of fighting snyder but you can't just assume it was just his fault. but whatever, it's not like barry wasn't a punk either last week.

Jazz: League suspends Snyder one game for fight in Dallas
By Steve Luhm
The Salt Lake Tribune
Jazz rookie Kirk Snyder has been suspended one game by the NBA for his part in an altercation Sunday night at Dallas.
Snyder will not play tonight, when the Jazz play the Clippers in Los Angeles (8:30 p.m. MDT).
Following Utah's 88-81 loss at Dallas, Snyder was involved in a fistfight with the Mavericks' Jerry Stackhouse in the loading dock area of American Airlines Arena. The altercation lasted about 40 seconds before being broken up by Dallas police and security guards.
Jazz officials were surprised by the suspension of Snyder, who believe his claim he was attacked by Stackhouse.
"I just think it's unfair," coach Jerry Sloan said. "Kirk didn't precipitate anything, and a guy should have a right to defend himself."
Utah's Kris Humphries, who was walking to the team bus with Snyder, supported his version of the incident. Other Jazz players who saw the fight said the same thing, according to Sloan.
Still, Snyder and Stackhouse received identical penalties from NBA senior vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson, who ordered the one-game suspensions at 3 p.m. Monday.
The Jazz already had left for Los Angeles when the suspensions were announced. Snyder was unavailable for comment. His agent, Jerome Lewis, did not return phone calls.
According to Jazz vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor, team officials investigated Snyder's role in the incident and decided not to suspend him. That is a clear indication they thought Stackhouse had been the aggressor.
"Based on the information we got from our players," O'Connor said, "we took no punitive action against Kirk. The league suspended Kirk Snyder. The Utah Jazz did not."
Before the Jazz practiced on Monday morning in Salt Lake, Sloan said, "From what Kirk told me and Kris told me, I'm not going to do anything. I don't think he was responsible for what happened. I can't suspend a player for protecting himself."
Two weeks ago, Sloan unofficially suspended Snyder for one game for unsportsmanlike behavior after the rookie taunted the Houston bench following an acrobatic layup. Two nights later, Snyder dressed but did not play in a Jazz-Denver game at the Delta Center.
This situation, Sloan believes, was different.
"It was an incident, I don't think, that Kirk was responsible for," the Jazz coach said. "They may have said something to each other [during the game], but we all know you can't carry it out of the building with you."
O'Connor agreed: "From our point of view and from what we understand . . . Kirk was not the person who started" the fistfight.
Snyder talked briefly to the media before being pulled aside and placed off-limits by Sloan and O'Connor, who did not want him to comment before the NBA completed its investigation.
Asked what happened, Snyder said he was walking toward the Jazz's bus and talking to another player - presumably Humphries

- when he saw Stackhouse coming toward him.
"Some people were holding him back," Snyder said. "[But] he grabbed hold of me and let it go right there."
Snyder believes Stackhouse had waited for him.
"Definitely," he said. "He was wearing his sweats and gym shoes. . . . There's no other way to the bus."
Immediately after the incident, Stackhouse reportedly told Mavericks owner Mark Cuban that he acted in self-defense, which made Snyder smile.
"Definitely not," he said. "I think I was defending myself."
Snyder, who will forfeit $15,800 in salary because of the one-game suspension, claims it was the first time he's been involved in a fight of any kind "since grade school."
At that point in the interview, Sloan poked his head out the door of the locker room at the Jazz's training facility. He apologized for interrupting but called Snyder inside.
A few minutes later, O'Connor emerged and told the media that Snyder - as well as any other player - would not be allowed to continue discussing the incident until the NBA had finished investigating.
