"Stackhouse was a man."

[samikeyp]

I'm glad that you all are such homers that you can't see there's a pattern involving Ginobili's play and the response from other teams around the league. He's reckless and his 'style' (ie - falling down 20 times a game and flailing about) is going to end someone's career one day. The day is coming where someone is going to get so fed up with his bull that they break his ing nose at center court. One fanbase, Spurs fans, will be disgusted and cry outrage. The other 29 will all know he's had it coming for some time and applaud in unison.

You can call Avery, Stackhouse, the Mavericks, etc. whatever you want. Doesn't change the fact that that big-nosed bag sees fit to hurl his body aimlessly around the court every game. If he played for any other team, none of you would think his way of playing is that great.

So in no way whatsoever was Stackhouse wrong in bringing Ginobili down by the neck and then pushing down on his face while Ginobili's face was on the ground?

[2centsworth]

Uh oh Shank, you're bringing a much-needed dose of reality to the thread. Prepare to get flamed.

Don't cry for Manu, Argentina!

are you saying Stack wasn't dirty or are you saying Manu deserved Stacks dirty tactics.

[Twisted_Dawg]

I'm a proud member of the "They never should have retired Avery's number" club.

I am a charter member of that proud club. What I have always wanted to know is what dumb ass in Spurs management pushed for retiring his jersey?
Whose initial idea was it?

Of course he was wrong. So was Ginobili for excessive contact on the box out. Manu was trying to goad Stack into losing his cool, and he succeeded. But let's put to bed this "Manu is an innocent angel" horse .

Quote me once where I said Manu was an innocent angel and I will never post here again.

I'm saying if you watch the clip, Manu put a little something extra into that box out and goaded Stackhouse into losing his cool. It doesn't excuse what Stackhouse did, but it's what Manu does, excessive contact to get under opposing players skin.

"Bowen's going to end someone career someday."
"Ginobilli's going to end someones career someday."
"Blah, blah, blah."

When is this going to happen dildo? Bowen's 36 and been in the league 12 years. He'd better hurry up.
Ginobilli gets racked up by players all the time and takes ten times what he gives.
The guy most likely to put someone out of the league with his penchant for undercutting players sits at the end of Dallas's bench, Howard.

avery blows and so does stack...maybe both will get suspened for the rest of the season

You're barking up the wrong tree if you think this fanbase is going to think Manu is ever wrong.

Did you just learn the word goad? I've seen you use it over a dozen times in like 3 different threads.

Excessive contact. What a load of bull . That was a standard box out of a guy trying to gain position by moving into you. You want to see illegal blocking out you need to watch Dampier a little.

lol what a load of bull . shank i thought you were knowledgable

get back to me when ginobili actually injures someone. everyone gets poked in the face, pushed and slapped around. stackhouse is a pussy and so are you.

[samikeyp]

Not you specifically, but the entire tenor of this thread: "How dare he retaliate against our poor Manu!"

So I am supposed to be ok with someone pulling down a Spurs player backwards by the neck and then pushing on his face?

Retaliating like Stack did is bush league. The best way you retaliate is keep your cool, make shots and win the game. Stackhouse's actions are evident of a "me first" at ude.

If you lack the ability to retaliate with your play instead of plays like that, you do not belong on an NBA court.

Since you're such a fan of synonyms, how bout cajole? How do you like that apple?

[samikeyp]

Yes because all Spurs fans think alike.

I also noticed you failed to answer my question.

Good word!

It was a box out, it aint Manu's fault that people in the league dont know how to do that anymore.

[Findog]

So I am supposed to be ok with someone pulling down a Spurs player backwards by the neck and then pushing on his face?

No, you're not supposed to be okay with it. And we're not supposed to be surprised that Manu once again got under an opposing player's skin by flailing his arms out and exhibiting poor body control.

Blame the player who allowed Manu under his skin.

[WalterBenitez]

In order to protect Manu's body, SAS asked to NBA to allow Manu to be the first NBA player wearing an NFL uniform

[Findog]

Blame the player who allowed Manu under his skin.

Stackhouse was wrong to do what he did. How many times do I have to state that? But like he said, this is nothing new with Ginobili. He's not a completely innocent party to the altercation, just a bit craftier and wiser.

Do you feel the end justifies the means? I know shank does.
