What?
I think AJ likes to give bear hugs to big sweaty men.
on AJ's rant saying Dirk was bear hugged today
you never hear POP complaining like that
Avery complains about fouls/officiating -- that's something Pop never does. Pop is very against that kind of talk and doesn't let the players do it either.
Maybe AJ shouldn't use a pussy to lead his team.
Problem solved.
yeah, I thought AJ was cut from the same mold I guess not
good point Terry sux I thought he was better than that
Avery is really enjoying the theatrics. , he must have called George Karl. He said he was going to have to teach his kids the new brand of basketball that Bruce was playing. Remember??? Now, we have "bearhug"? GMAFB!![]()
Obviously Avery didnt learn everything from Pop.
He probably picked that up from Nellie.
Wow I just lost a TON of respect for Avery Johnson.
Look for the refs to call Bowen super tight when guarding Dirk in game two now.
Totally classless move. I might have to change mind about who to root for if Dallas gets past us now.
I was just thinking the same thingWow I just lost a TON of respect for Avery Johnson.
And yes Game 2 will be probably be called much tighter, I just hope the refs are consistant with the calls. I know...that will not happen.
coaches pi$$ and moan about bowens D every year, he will be alright.
I saw that too. Pretty ridiculous, if anyone was playing bear hug defense it was Dampier on Duncan. The refs swallowed their whistles down the stretch, and as long as they're fairly consistent I've got no beef with the officials.
guess we will see one of

tuesday night.
great.
I think they were very good and consistent today but I wish they would let both teams play a little bit more. This is going to be a closely contested hard fought series and both teams are going to need as much momentum as possible. Having the refs constantly kill the momentum kills watching games on TV.
I think what we have to worry about is how super tight they will call our defense in Dallas.
AJ has to do whatever it takes to get Bowen into foul trouble or this series could be over.
AJ whines not infrequently about reffing. Too much time with Nellie and Cuban. Suck it up and be a man AJ.
Stayed tuned for Cubans tapes to be sent to the league office.
When Bowen gets called for fouls, all that he does is concentrate more and put up his hands up even more. We saw that in the second half today. He got into foul trouble early in the first and then in the second half, he went "Edward Scissorhands" on Dirk and made him look foolish. Dirk had only one basket in the 4th and that was just that breakaway dunk after Manu's turnover.
And then to top it off, Bruce buried a clutch 3.
I have no worries about Bowen no matter what AJ has to say.
Its not so much the effect on Bowen that worries me as it is the trickle down effect on the rest of the D.
Somebody tell AJ es jerseys don't hang in the AT&T center.
Bruce answered AJ's "bearhug" comments.
"This has the feel of an NBA Finals," said Bowen, who shrugged it off when Johnson's bear hug comment was relayed to him. "It used to bother me. You would think you try to earn the respect of other coaches, and you'd think they'd be happy with what you do because you give 110 percent. But it's something that's said a lot, so add him to the mini-list of others who want to say stuff."
Say Good Night Mavericks.
Cubans already posted a blog about how bad the refs in the NBA since the game ended
