Pop if he learned from Riley would use Elson to knock the out of Dirk when he would try that flopping BS drive to the hoop. Doing that will take Dirk off of his game and weaken him bigtime. Also Duncan is a physical player otherwise he wouldnt be a superstar and have 3 les. Outside of having great talent if you arent a physical player then you are an all-star at best who is no where near being great leader. Now Duncan may not be like ZO or Shaq in terms of knocking the out of you but he is a physical defender and offensive player still.
I wouldn't worry about Butler on Dirk. Eric Williams, if the Spurs don't trade him next week, could be a possibility. Matt Bonner, if groomed to do so, may be able to do it as well (I doubt it though). Finley guarded Dirk the best though, so you never know. We'll probably see a rotation of defenders next year.
The spurs are a classy organization no one is going to knock the out of Dirk. That would most likely lead to a fight and we might have another brawl like in Detroit, this time between the players. If you want to see the being knocked out of people watch wrestling i think ECW comes on tonight.
Im sure you dont know very much about Dirk but he used to play rugby and im sure he has endured much harder hits. He will bounce back and be fine next year, the physical play just caught him off guard and he didnt do a good job adjusting.
No thats the difference being being very dirty (trying to hurt/injure the player) and being just a very physical team who will make you pay the price for going to the hoop. By giving teams layups and giving them tacky fouls while doing is IMO is soft ball. And yes ECW comes on tonight on sci fi channel at 9pm
Yes, knocking the out of Dirk as you put it is considered being very dirty. Shame on you.
He has never been able to handle it and being caught off guard and unable to adjust to it shows you arent that great. GREAT players adjust to those situations and dont stay off guard for too long especially in the biggest stage of them all...the NBA Finals! if he played rugby then I am shocked because all these years I have seen him in the NBA he has folded when teams put him on his ass hard.
Can you give me one example other than the Heat series? Ive watched him since he was a rookie and don't recall.
No that is making him pay the price for driving. It is called physical/clean play. Pistons played like that,Miami played like that teams play like that cant really be called dirty. People who call that type of ball "dirty" are softies.
2003 WCF sat out due to a "sore" knee even when the docs cleared him to play for game 6 but was too scared.
Hey im all for physical play thats how i get any playing time in basketball. I never intentionally knock the out of people. Ill give a hard foul to prevent the layup though. But you realize fouling a 90% ft shooter isnt very smart.
Actually it is because he knows those trips to the free throw line will come with some hard pain and he hates dealing with pain so he will drive less to the hoops because of it.
Get it right it was an ankle injury.
How am i supposed to take you seriously you dont even know what your talking about.
You respond to your mistake by editing my post. Thats funny. Seriously you dont know what you are talking about first of all it was an ankle injury and secondly no he was not cleared to play. You are all mixed up.
Funny Nelly and all the damn media along witn team doctors said that . Guess they were playing the CIA Game
You get it right. It was a knee injury. Ginobili banged his hip onto Dirk's and he HYPEREXTENDED it.
Just to show you:

I didn't know Ankle was spelled K-N-E-E.Nowitzki went down with a sprained left knee. The Spurs controlled the game the rest of the way to defeat Dallas 96-83 and take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals.
"The news is not good," Mavericks coach Don Nelson said. "His knee is very sore.
But you're always right...right mavsman41?
I remembered Dirk struggling with ankle injuries that season but i guess i was wrong. Thats besides the point, my point to shaggy is that Dirk was not cleared to play.
I thought it was a knee injury but either way on what injury I thought it was, it was an injury that he could of easily came back from but he was too scared to return.
A ing hyper-extended knee is enough to keep you out of 3 PLAYOFFS GAMES????
All throughout this thread shaggy is saying to knock the out of dirk and all kinds of childish immature things. I asked him to give me another situation where physical play really took dirk out of his game. And he replies with him missing the 2003 Western Conference finals, saying Dirk was cleared to play but was apparently "scared" according to shaggy. Regardless of what kind of injury, my point to shaggy is that Dirk was not cleared to play. Which by the way shaggy was never able to give me another instance where dirk wasnt able to handle physical play.
Obviously you have never had one. A serious hyper-extened knee will keep you from putting any weight on it for a couple of weeks.A ing hyper-extended knee is enough to keep you out of 3 PLAYOFFS GAMES????
Yeah I bet that hurt much more then 2 ing sprained ankles Duncan had to endure all playoffs a year ago
