i sure hope so. the stuffs those markcubanites did were dangerous. there were malicious intent on those hits.
I heard on WOAI Sports this morning that the NBA is going to investigate the fouls on Manu during the Dallas game, I cannot find anything online
still searching

The one i think should be looked at that people have been a little quiet on is Diop's foul on Manu after the dunk play... no play at the ball
I dont give a if i sound like a whinger... aka Suns fan.. you cant go throwin forearms in peoples faces
That was Terry pulling his arm down. Diop didn't foul him.
Oh, wait. The dunk. That was J-Howard hitting Manu across the grill.
Diop didn't foul him that play either.
Desperate times. Mavs don't have an answer when some1 wants to play tough, hard nosed offense. They think hard fouling is the answer but that just doesn't work on you know who. While i'll agree the Mavs were unsportsmanlike in the Mavs-Spurs game, i don't think the league is going 2 do anything about it. In the long run it makes for exciting basketball and after what the Spurs-Suns series did for ratings last year, i know the NBA wants to see more rivalries.
Yep, that was the play where Howard went straight for his head. If the NBA looks at it, should draw Howard a fine and possible suspension.
You had to know the past two playoff seasons....the way the Mavs went out, that soon they would probably start to unravel. I think we are witnessing that now.
Wonder how much disention there is in the locker room after these losses? I would sure love to be a fly on the wall in that locker room after these games.
Will Avery hang himself before his Jersey is raised in the AT&T? Or will he simply implode and have a heart attack?

I can't find anything
but i did see these comments by Pop

No complaint: Popovich was not surprised the Mavericks resorted to some physical tactics in a vain attempt to slow down Ginobili on Thursday. The Spurs guard burned Dallas for 37 points.
Hot players often are treated with cold, calculating tactics.
"It's a contact sport," Popovich said, "and you have a guy who's having a game like that, the opponent is going to lay some lumber on them."
Actually it was the play after Howard his Manu across his grill and dunked right in Diops face, that's why Diop fouled him so hard on the next play.
Waaaaw....Wait till next week when Manu has to face Sasha & his aggressive play...
I'm sure that just puts dread into the heart of Manu. We all know how scared he gets.
Jason Terry
Devin Harris
Jerry Stachouse
these are the only mavs i have disliked until Wednesdays game
Josh Howard is now just as big of a , but Jason Terry took his assedness to a new level. jason terry is dirty as and he is going to hurt somebody with all the grabbing he does.
Or their bodies in playoff games.
I want Josh Howard to get the Artest treatment for his dirty hits one of these days.
Devin Harris's flop routine is getting out of control, as well.
All Mav fans will disagree of course, so I'll just go ahead and say it for you: "Uhhh... Nash and Raja flop!!!"
Hopefully Mark Cuban isn't made the lead investigator. I would love to get his reaction to the cheap hits, given his supposed objective critique of the refs.
He had Salvatore peeing in his pants that game after Cuban called him out a few weeks ago, so Bennet didn't call hardly much, except that ridiculous change of possesion call when the Mavs shot clock is running out and Manu is juggling the ball after a steal.
Did you guys see when Terry fouled Manu (maybe this is the Terry's hard foul that everyone is talking about?). Manu fell on the floor and as he was getting up, I guess Terry was trying to ask if he was ok, and Manu kept saying "Don't touch me, don't touch me" You can see it here at the 2:35 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3t_Uxyp7pE
Seems like Manu doesn't have much love for Terry either
I think the most the NBA will do lay some fines on the players they think deserve them.
I'm glad they're looking into this. I get that it's a "contact" sport, but there's a fine line between being physical and trying to hurt someone because they're beating your team.
Of course, Pop is going to have the response he had. I'm willing to bet Manu and the rest of the team would say the same thing. That's how this team operates. But that doesn't mean inside they aren't hoping for a review of the situation.
Yeah I saw that, I don't blame Manu for feeling that way. Terry was playing nice for the refs and knocking Manu and Tony to the ground then he gives Manu the whole "I'm sorry for being a little by knocking you and your teammates to the floor but, hey let me help you up now."Did you guys see when Terry fouled Manu (maybe this is the Terry's hard foul that everyone is talking about?).

The Diop Karate Chop across Manu's face with no attempt at the ball is the only one worth a fine and suspension. The rest of the fouls were just hard. The Diop crap doesn't belong in basketball.
you guys sound like suns fans.
I haven't seen a foul hard enough to justify a suspension.
The problem is more about the ac ulation of hard fouls. Fouling hard Manu looked like a tactic or a consign given by Mavs staff. I'm not sure the nba like that kind of tactic and I can see them giving some fines and warnings to be sure that Mavs won't do the same thing during the next game against Spurs.
As a Spurs fan, I've no problem with a team fouling hard Spurs' player as long as there are no injuries. Spurs' team is very tough and hard fouls effect is only to motivate them more.
What's a whinger?
