Finally a Mav's fan whose shown us something worthwhile.

I mean you made a couple of fine points. Lets see, Terry was at fault and the leauge did what they had to do. At least I think those were the points.![]()
go to mavtalk.com
the thread about terry, those guys are in unbeleivable denial![]()
who gives a rats ass.
well you shouldn't
One of the very few ... and you're appreciated.
I'm pretty sure I can speak for the guys when I say that, too.![]()
ok, fine
Thanks Spurswoman... I def appreciate that.
After discussing the matter amongst others it has been determined that Jason Terry heard "jump ballS" and in turned racked Finley in the nuts.
This is excusable in my book, it was pretty loud in there.
I already posted this in another thread "Living on a Prayer"
But since this thread is pretty much a classic, I had to post it here.
On Ticket760.com they played audio of Don Harris asking Pop what he thought about Cubans comments.
Pop's response to Cuban's "muddy water riverwalk" comments:
"after a margarita I don't know what's in the river , maybe he ought to come down there and have a margarita....
and show some maturity"
Yeah, you're hilarious alright. No one has mentioned Eva's name for days...we ain't got time for Eva right now.![]()
Did anyone else think that Islymore's avatar was from a painting. It looks like a painting to me.
"Jason Terry has been throwing a lot of punches in the series," Parker said. "He's gotten me so many times with cheap shots."
Oh really... haven't heard or seen anything about it til now. I hope Parker misses some game saving free throws AGAIN tonight.
picturesque, isn't it?![]()
no, but I would be delighted to make them a painting for you...

Terry was just racking the balls in pool. No need for suspension on that.
Quit complaining bobo, Manu is not playing too so things have evened out![]()
Went back a couple of pages and did not see this posted yet.
Terry Admits Punch
Mavs' Terry owns up to punch By ART GARCIA
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
DALLAS — Despite the protests and the explanations to the contrary, Mavericks guard Jason Terry did punch San Antonio guard Michael Finley in the final few moments of Game 5.
Video confirmed it. And Terry did, too.
Seeing several of the countless replays of the short jab to Finley’s groin, Terry admitted Friday: “I really did get him a little bit. I didn’t know to what extent.”
It was enough for Terry to be suspended by the NBA for Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals tonight at American Airlines Center.
The Mavs lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 over the defending champions.
The incident occurred with 3.4 seconds left in the Spurs’ 98-97 victory Wednesday in San Antonio. After a scramble for a loose ball at midcourt, Terry hit Finley with a closed fist as the players were being separated.
Terry is eligible to return if Game 7 is necessary Monday night in San Antonio. He accepted the punishment without much complaint.
The league office said a punch, whether it connects or not, warrants an automatic one-game suspension. A league spokesman added Friday that Terry’s previous suspensions for similar actions didn’t factor into this suspension. As a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Terry was suspended twice for throwing a punch and once for an elbow.
“I’m very disappointed, but there’s always a punishment for your actions,” said Terry, averaging 18.2 points in the series. “It happened so quick. My reaction caused me to miss Game 6, but I’ve got confidence in my teammates.”
Jerry Stackhouse is expected to start in Terry’s place alongside Devin Harris. Adrian Griffin, Marquis Daniels and Darrell Armstrong could take on increased roles in making up the loss of the top scorer behind Dirk Nowitzki.
“They’ve got to do it collectively,” Terry said. “We’ve been doing it all series long. In the game we won by double figures [113-91, Game 2], I only scored 11. It can be done and it will be done.
“These guys are ready. They’re so focused. I see it in everybody’s eyes. I’m just sorry to have this distraction, if it is any.”
Terry called the league’s actions “inconsistent” with previous rulings. Mavs coach Avery Johnson and owner Mark Cuban each alluded to Denver forward Reggie Evans earning just a fine for grabbing Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman in the first round.
“It’s just an unfortunate situation,” Johnson said. “I guess if he would have grabbed him, he wouldn’t have gotten suspended. You grab, you don’t get suspended. But the rule is clear: you punch, you get suspended. So next time, grab.”
Though the Mavs fully support their suspended teammate, they weren’t buying an argument that Terry’s response was understandable considering the physical and demanding nature of the series.
“Not really,” Griffin said. “It’s the playoffs. Emotions are very high. Jet hadn’t done anything like that since I’ve been on the team. It’s just emotions and playing hard. He just reacted.”
Said Josh Howard: “This game is full of bumps and bruises, but that incident right there is something that happened. That was a guy being real compe ive and didn’t want to lose. Things happen and now you have to put it past you.”
Needing one win to advance to the West Finals to face the winner of the Suns-Clippers series, the Mavs plan to use the loss of their second-leading scorer as a rallying cry tonight.
“You have to kind of use it as motivation,” Harris said. “With the way the situation happened it was a heat-of-the-moment kind of thing. We can’t do anything about it, so there’s no point in crying about. We got dealt the cards and now we have to play with them.”
Overcoming adversity has been a point of emphasis for Johnson all season. The Mavs are 4-0 without Terry the last two seasons. “We are a focused team,” Johnson said. “We’ve been injured and had to deal with a ton of adversity this year, and we’ve always seemed to respond. I expect no different from us tonight.”
thanks.
