I saw that and was similarly disgusted. Further proved that Najera is trash, and said bad things about those idiots wearing Mavs jerseys.
I'll tell you what was worse. Him walking to the locker room and while he's just about to enter the tunnel, two Mavs fan walk down to the railing and high five Najera and he high fives them back and all three of those cowards smile as if he did something good.
That's not the worse part though. The worse was Spurs fans letting those two idiots get away with that without putting any fear into them. I was pissed off when I saw that crap on TV. I couldn't believe that happened.

I read that thread regardind Najera and read some were saying it was just a hard foul and that he didn't trying to hurt Manu. Who knows? Maybe he did maybe he didn't. What got my more mad was him looking like he felt bad about the whole thing immediately afterwards, but then high fiving two idiots on his way out says he didn't feel bad at all.
Fans always want to reach out to the players... No matter if it's the scrub at the end of the bench...
I think you all are reading too much into his high fives...
Najera's foul was beyond excessive, yes; but fortunately Ginobili wasn't hurt... IMO Najera should be suspended for a game, even if he didn't want it to go down the way it did. Supposedly he apologized to Manu.
I don't think they were high-fiving him for fouling Manu. I think they were high-fiving him because they're Mav fans and he's a Mav.
Who cares. Half of us would have high-fived Robert Horry after he hip-checked Nash into the scorer's table. Gino didn't get hurt and we got two FTs and possession off of that. If he wants to celebrate it, let him.
You have to wonder. If it had been Dirk, Jet, Butler, or Kidd..I wouldn't even give it a thought. But Najara? Makes you wonder if he was given orders to go in and try to take Manu out of the game. I mean really, if he gets suspended, who's gonna miss him?
oh come on dude
wake up. Do you also think a guy that is staring at your wife is because he likes her shoes?
LMAO butthurt spurs fans
its funny when FANS take more offense to a hard foul than the man getting fouled hard himself
It's been mentioned by a few posters who heard Dallas radio guys say that Carlisle wanted Najera to send a message. It seems to me more su ious after Carlisle said in his press conference, something to the effect that he liked what he saw from Najera on the floor tonight. Well, what he saw from Najera was all of 47 seconds and the only thing he did was pull that cheap shot on Manu.
I think its pretty dumb of you two saying those two idiots were only high fiving Najera because he's a Mav and they are Mavs fans. They clearly were celebrating the fact he gave Manu a cheap shot. Sorry, but to think otherwise is pretty naive.
Its All Good, I bet The spurs Put A target on Najera..... Parker When asked about Najera "No Comment" ...... Duncan when Asked " Maybe Najera Came In the Game To Do That Who knows"..... Kinda Like Jefferson Taking a shot A Dirks Nose Yesterday... Dirk Hit Ginobili Unintentional, But what goes around Comes Around.... If Najera Finds his way Back on the floor in this Series, Id sick DeJuan On his ass! Even though people Dont think things are intentional, sometimes players will do things to send messages. Even if it wasnt planned.
I'm not too pissed about the foul. It was a cheap shot and clearly intentional. I haven't called for Manu to get revenge or the Spurs to get revenge. Just think its pretty classless of those two fans and Najera. Believe me when I say Manu and the Spurs were pissed about it. Didn't you see Pop's reaction?
Its all good though. Spurs 3 Dallas 1
I honestly don't believe he wanted to hurt Manu. I think he wanted to be aggressive and couldn't control his arms and committed that horrendous choke move.
What I do believe is that he was sent in just to do something like that. If you look at the game, strategically there was no reason to bring Najera in other than to be another body on D that could be aggressive in the paint. This is pretty clear to me.
Regarding the high fives - they are probably ing morons who don't have a life.
yeah, hi-fiving a player from your favorite team is such a crime
back in enland they would have had the kickedinto em foul or no foul!
It did disgust me when those two clowns high fived Najera. And no, I wouldn't of high fived Horry back then either. It's hard-nosed basketball out of the eighties, but it sucks because it well could of injuried Manu and could of ended our run not now but surely in the next round. Also our camera men do look farther from the court than the ones in American Airlines Center. Maybe it's just Dallas, but I still remember when Juwon Howard hurt Derek Anderson. Next round we were done...
People are highly emotional in these situations. They don't make good decisions. I wouldn't read too much in to the high fives, but I also wouldn't have judged someone too harshly for spitting on Najera as he walked down the tunnel. It wouldn't have bothered me if a Spurs fan shoved one of those Mavs fans either. Your base human instincts take over in that kind of atmosphere.
I think what Najera, and indirectly, Carlisle did was over the line, but I won't pretend that the thought has never crossed my mind.

TRUE! I am not saying i agree with it but i understand......
Wonder? ya he was given the order to "sweep the leg"
Okay Mavs fan. You obvioulsy aren't comprehending why I'm upset. Its the reason behind the high fives. They congratulated Najera for his cheap shot. He obviously didn't feel bad for what he did because he smiled and walked in as if nothing. That's pretty pathetic.yeah, hi-fiving a player from your favorite team is such a crime
I applaud hard play, which at times means some hard fouls, but not cheap shots. I thought Horry's cheap shot on Nash was uncalled for. I thought Nash was a drama queen the way he threw arms back, but there was no reason for Horry to hip check Nash. I thought it was funny back then, but also thought it was uncalled for.
It's still funny. Horry's hip check on Nash is not comparable at all, by the way.
I also remember Game 6 of the Spurs-Hornets series in 2008. Horry had just leveled David West in the back, and West stayed down for a few min in real pain (I think his back was jacked up that series). The "Horry...Horry...Horry" chants were loud as .
I thought Nash overreacting to the hip was funny because of how he fell and how he threw his arms. The uncalled for fould by Horry wasn't funny because it wasn't necessary.
Horry's fould on West took West out for the next game didn't he?
That shouldn't have even been called a foul. West was backing up Horry in the post and Horry put his arm in his back. The foul was called because West fell on the ground clutching his back. It's not Horry's fault that West had a bum back in that series.
You guys are getting a little silly, or your memory is not so good.
Backing Horry down in the post, eh?
