That should be a suspension then. The league should punish the Mavs especially because of the crap Mavs pulled by putting Najera in to take out a player.
Like in baseball, when a manager (like Lou Pinella) runs out on the field and charges an ump or opposing pitch.
They need him and Parker to get going very quickly if they want to win. George Hill has done his best,and Manu needs help.
No, that was a fing tech, if not more. Dirk has to quit flailing his elbows (Manu, Mandry), but he's a flopping whiny piece of ****, so the league will never care. Doesn't matter. The ********** will choke, he'll never win a title, and great justice will be served.
I didn't see it, but I agree in principle. Dwight got suspended for a playoff game last year for swinging his elbow after a rebound. IIRC he didn't connect either.
Duncan, Manu and Parker have been pretty bad this game. They are ahead because of their defense and Hill, McDyess, and Blair.
That's exactly why I feel that they are the best team in the west right now. The Spurs getting their defense back is something that nobody will look forward too when a team plays these Spurs if they in fact advance.
Dirk's elbow was sorta like KG's on Qrich. Dwight's was more like Ariza's, a pretty deliberate looking swipe at once-occupied space. IIRC But Dirk gets his arms flapping quite a bit, anything he does is probably deliberate.
it's hard to see that being for less than 2 games. especially given the limited minutes he plays, it just looks like he was planning to do something dirty.
Anyone remember before the post-season last year when Pop publicly said that Hill wasn't ready for the playoffs (and the Spurs didn't activate him)? What a difference a year makes.
