Jason Terry suspended (old thread)

[Despot]

So, what is worse, being punched in the nuts? Or having someone try to rip them off? I forget if they suspended Kaman's assaulter.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Cuban can try to buy the refs with all of his antics. But the Spurs nuts get in the way.

Karma.

no

Cuban can try to buy the refs but in the end its the nuts of a $17mill employee of his that got in the way

[leemajors]

cuban must be typing like mad on his blog right about now....

he can type all he wants, that is a clear violation of the rules.

[MannyIsGod]

I feel sorry for no man who takes a cheap shot. What a dumb .

[angel_luv]

Supposedly they just showed a good view of it on WOAI tv and it was clearly a closed fist punch.

I watched. It was.

Evans just got fined.

I guess because a punch is an automatic suspension.

[FreshPrince22]

Wow.... First Artest, now this.

It's the damn playoffs. Let the ing teams play and stop being little es. The refs have blown enough in these playoffs. Now they're gonna do this in probably the biggest game of the Mavs/Spurs seasons?

Dallas’ Jason Terry Suspended for Game 6

NEW YORK, May 18 – Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks has been suspended one game without pay for punching San Antonio’s Michael Finley, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 3.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Mavericks 98-97 loss to the Spurs last night at AT&T Center. Terry will serve his suspension Friday night as the Mavericks host the Spurs for Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

[NASpurs]

If both teams were allowed to play, this series would be over.

Keep that in mind Spurs fans when you start to feel sorry for Dallas.

Feel sorry for Dallas?

Reggie Evans wasn't suspended.

I believe Finley was quoted after the game: "I got enough of getting touched there when I played for Mark Cuban."

punched, Reggie cant handle balls so i dont think Kaman got hurt too bad

Reggie didnt get suspended, thats why they are coming down hard this time. They made a mistake letting reggie off and now they are making up for it

On one hand (no pun intended) im glad Reggie pulled (again no pun intended) that stunt coz now his value just dropped (still no pun)

[strangeweather]

I always want a full-strength team. Now if/when the Spurs win game 6, this place will go bonkers with Mavs trolls saying 'the fix is in' or 'wait till you beat the whole team', like that. I am tired of people saying the Spurs should have asterisks next to their les.

I agree -- I think we can beat them with everyone on the floor, and I want to see it happen.

But as long as Game 7 is called fair, both sides need to shut up about asterisks or the fix being in, because everyone gets one last chance, and the loser goes fishing.

[smeagol]

I'm gonna go ahead and withdraw my promise not to post here forever if the spurs win this series.

I predicted this in a thread in the political forum.

OG pulling a TPark.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

This series should be over already(Spurs 4-1), let's cut the bull about wanting a full strength Mavs team. If Dirk sneezes and sprains his back and misses the series I'll jump for joy

[timvp]

Tell you the truth...Jason Terry was not that good last night. I wouldn't mind another couple of games like that from him. Now he's going to come back rested and fired up for game 7...

FG:6-14
3FG:1-4
Assist:4
TO:4

Jason Terry is a homecourt phenom. He plays much better in Dallas. His shooting percentages are way up at home.

I don't feel sorry for the Mavs at all.

Our guys never stopped fighting for the win and Terry couldn't keep his composure. End of story.

Way to shut Terry down early Spurs!

[texlawman]

No excuses. We've beat you this year shorthanded before and we'll do it again. We win Friday shorthanded and show Stern the finger in the process. Book it!

[Spurologist]

The league hasn't officially announced the suspension yet.

All reports are that he is suspended though.

yeah, I know. I meant a link to the video of the punch.

[J.T.]

"Dallas Mavericks G Jason Terry suspended for Game 6 for punching Spurs G Michael Finley during Game 5"

From the ticker at the bottom of the screen on ESPN.

[picnroll]

Big Nuts. Big Nuts.

kind of takes on a whole new meaning.

[Budkin]

Let's actually win Game 6 before we start talking about Game 7 details.

[katyon6th]

Can I watch this punch anywhere online?

[sa_butta]

Evans just got fined.

I guess because a punch is an automatic suspension.

Right Evans used the grab and pull method.

[2centsworth]

No excuses. We've beat you this year shorthanded before and we'll do it again. We win Friday shorthanded and show Stern the finger in the process. Book it!

I like the at ude.

[whottt]

I'd just like to point out...

Raja Bell getting suspended didn't excactly put the Lakers over the top...


If Dirk was suspended maybe it would be cause for a Fiesta in SA...Terry? He aint all that.
