Yeah it makes it fun to pick another favorite team just for the series. After that I'll root for the Pistons if the spurs beat the suns. I'm still a mavs fan though first and foremost.
Tfart, you're a dumbass. We're not talking about the start of the game. We're talking about less than 30 seconds left in a game that you're up 11.
And the shot clock wasn't even winding down, there was still like 12 seconds left on the shot clock and GS wasn't even trying to foul at that point.
If you're going to defend Okur for going in for the dunk in that situation, instead of dribbling out the shot clock and shooting a jumper, then you shouldn't be crying about Jason Richardson saying 'not in our house.'
sj is sucking against the jazz
is his mind on the trial?
I thought he loved making love to pressure?
SJax had a perfectly typical SJax game.
15 shots, 33% FG.
38% 3G (well above his ty 3G %age)
Played 44 minutes, got only 3 RBs (and missed 12 shots), 3 ASTs, 2 STLs, 1 BLK, 6!! T0s.
oh-kay raptors fan! so how's your team doing? oh, that's right you had no expectations for them despite their first place division finish so it's ok that they got bumped in the first round and this fact alone allows you to talk![]()
anyway, i could care less about j-rich's antics, okur can do whatever the he wants, it's a game, it wasn't 0:00 so stop being such s about the fact that he was going for a dunk, you sound like isaiah. besides, the warriors were going to town on the mavs up until the final buzzer went off and they were up by double digits...probably didn't then right? what puzzles me is baron's move on fisher. wtf, i thought they were friends and while it was nice of fisher to try to downplay the situtation, i hope baron gets his ass handed to him with a suspension so that he can sit at home and watch his team get bumped and feel like for not being able to contribute...consistency, if you're going to call that in-the-act arm flailing of kobe then an obvious elbow to the head should be likewise rewarded. as for j-rich, no suspension necessary, same goes for bowen.
LOL @ Raptors smack talk based on the team greatly exceeding expectations as opposed to a team that horribly crumbled under them.
Anyways, my comment was intended for mavsfan1000 cuz of the constant talking and horrible takes he has on everything related to the Warriors. So don't even take it personally![]()
so basically people are defending Richardson for clotheslining a guy at the end of a game. The shot clock was winding down when he drove to the basket if you go back and look if you tivo'd it. the same with the 3. the 3 imo he took in retaliation of the foul. if you're so adamant about people "disrespecting you" then do something about it on the court with your gameplay rather than resorting to violent behavior. easiest thing to do is commit a senseless foul. probably had more to do with him sucking ass that game than okur. if youre a man, then take your beating like a man and move on. and whats funny is that GS has been taking cheap shots the whole playoffs and dunking late etc etc. remember when davis dunked on AK47?? that little 3 minute stint of self appreciation ... thats okay, yet this was intolerable... please. The spend the entire game disrespecting their opponents if you watch closely. Jackson and davis are so full of themselves that they seem to argue every single call and commit senseless turnovers trying to create something out of completely nothing. Yep, same old warriors at last.

The Warrior's "magic" is officially gone...
I hate Utah because of Boozer (for screwing the Cavs) and Okur...glad to see Okur get decked. Well deserved when you pull that BS...
what BS? taking it strong to the rack? where was that foul early in the game? nwo he thinks hes a man just because he clotheslined a defenseless man... a real man does it during the course of the game ... not in garbage time. there was nothing remotely respectable about it.
its one thing to protect your teammates, or to send someone to the line to avoid a easy shot, but its a totally different thing entirely to take a shot at someone in a manner thats 1. totally unprofessional and 2. physically endangering. so its safe to assume, hes gonna pussy out and do that at the end when it doesn't matter and the game is already out of reach so he can get away clean and off the court to avoid being retaliated against. but its cool, okur didn't fight him he just took the next opportunity to sink another 3: seems like a good answer to me.
Yes, taking it "strong to the rack" when it wasn't necessary... move that gets you put on your ass...
Any word of suspensions yet?
so whose the bigger man. the one who makes the senseless foul in that situation? or the one that makes a play on the ball and gets dunked on.
the foul was unnecessary ... a move that should get his sorry a$$ suspended. but it wont, that way they can get their plastic butts handed to them on national tv with their full compliment of players. Beyond that, what exactly did that prove? to anyone? might just have fueled a fire that will more than likely burn them in game 5 ...Yes, taking it "strong to the rack" when it wasn't necessary... move that gets you put on your ass...
DSterns cool like that. Make him take his punishment on the court like a man...

Doesn't make it right.
If Horry should be suspended for his actions, Richardson should as well.
If he isn't, the league is setting a dangerous double standard here.
No way JRich gets suspended. You could say what he did was at least a b-ball move (ie, going for a block) but he only got him across the arms...
What Horry did was NOT a b-ball move in any way...
It doesn't change the fact that it what Richardson did was just as malicious and uncalled for- basketball move or not.
Since when does having a team having their ass handed to them late in the game give them the right to display questionable sportsmanship? This seems to be a common occurrence whenever the Warriors lose playoff games.
Wow...I can't believe how many Spurs fans are trying to defend or minimize Horry's actions. "Steve Nash was flopping" or "A ass foul at the end of the game is exactly the same as a hard foul defending one's own rim"...
I remember just a couple weeks ago when Jason Terry "bodyslammed" Baron Davis and attempted to "break his neck" and how any Mavs fan was called a whining homer bag for having suggested that Davis might have been selling the foul or that simple physics would tell you that Terry could never have gotten the leverage to take Davis down due to where his arms and legs were at.
The only double standard going on is with the Spurs fans.
If this was Amare going for a cheap dunk with the game in hand, then I would have applauded Robert Horry hip checking him into the stands...but this was Steve Nash trying to dribble the clock out, and a simple grab would have sufficed, or even a swat to attempt to steal the ball, but Horry went out of his way to go lay a foul on him.
I'm not minimizing what Horry did.
I'm looking for the league to be consistent in the way it doles out punishment.
IMO, Horry should be suspended for his actions. So should Richardson.
No question the Warriors have shown bad sportsmanship during the losing moments of playoff games...
But what Horry did isn't comparable to what Richardson did...sorry. Decking Nash was part 1...there's no way around the elbow at Bell's face...
exactly

Well I agree about the suspensions, although I think Davis should be the one suspended for his cheap shot on Fisher...I think that foul is a little more comparable to Horry's. Richardson's foul was unneccessary as well, but at least it was defending his rim and his foul was in direct response to a move by Okur.
