Print"Parker got into the teeth of our defense and caused problems. Every time he drives the lane, we have to put him on his back. The first foul has to tell him he's in for a long night. My first foul Thursday night is going to put him on his back. I guarantee it."
-- Erick Dampier
That was a great win last night. It was so nice to see our guys hustle and play suffocating defense. Tony was amazing. This season he has taken his game to new heights that I don't really think any of us saw coming. Now it's time to put this one behind us and get prepared for game 3. Erick Dampier has already issued an APB on Tony Parker's head. WE BETTER BE READY FOR THIS. I'm not about to pay good money to go see our boys get bitched around by Erick Dampier. Last night had little moments of chippiness with a couple of hard fouls on Tony. We need to come out swinging and beat the Mavs to the punch. I want to see us physically impose our will on the Mavs like we do the Suns. We could deal a significant blow to the Mavs' psyche if we walk in and physically wrestle game 3 away. We need to put these guys on tilt.

Way to make a complete ass of yourself Damp, class act!

This is the moment we’ve waited for, PtRers. For such a time as this, we’ve anticipated great things. The opportunity is upon us. Seconds wane as our moment looms.

It seems pretty dumb to announce that you are going to foul someone hard; just go and do it. It’s like he’s begging to get ejected after his first foul. One can only hope that the league is paying attention, and that the refs are quick on the draw with the flagrant fouls.

I love when players do this though. Premeditated nationally announced flagrant fouls. It’s actually wonderful for us because he so much as touches Tony, and he’s gone. And with his stifling defense of the paint removed, Tony will be able to………wait………whoops.

I wish what you were say was true Sima, but we’ve seen the Sonics and the Nuggets in different seasons do the same thing to Manu (announce their intention to foul hard, then follow through) with nary a consequence.
I'm comfortable winning -- Emmanuel Ginobili
True about Manu, but the refs seem to view Tony’s forays into the paint differently than Manu’s. Manu has the reputation of a “flopper” – Tony doesn’t. I’m not saying those perceptions are correct, but Tony seems to get more respect from the refs. Not that Stern will do a damn thing about these statements, since it’s only the Spurs.

This series will only get more physical as it goes on. Things were already getting chippy in game 2. I can only imagine if Dallas gets down 10+ at home. Bodies will be flying.

None of this is surprising. Damp is a thug who can’t keep up with Tony’s quickness so he’s going to try to intimidate Frenchie McWonderbutt. I don’t think it will matter. Parker has been getting beat up for years now. He understands it and hopefully will make Dallas pay with made free-throws and foul trouble for their bigs.
The Mavs just beam with class all around.
Terry and Howard shooting their mouths off about fouling Manu, Dampier talking about fouling Tony. How about an automatic flagrant? What an ass. We’ll go the ’We’re down, so the only way to get back in the game is to play dirty.’ That’s something I’d expect from the Lakers.
This is what’s wrong with the NBA today.

Let's also have about 6 of those Damp.
But don’t just limit them to Tony. Let’s get you a technical or two. Maybe foul out? 2nd best Center in the league, my ass. The D-League, maybe.

I expect it...
I expect Damp to throw his body around to try and hurt people. I expect a few more Terry elbows. I expect Howard to shove and punch.
At least two technical fouls in the next game. At least…

Can you imagine if the Mavs were playing the Lakers or Cavs- and Damp was talking about Kobe, or Lebron? (As if he’d have the stones to do that to either.) They’d have security guards in yellow jackets around the outsides of the court.

What you see on Ericka are definitely stretch marks; most likely from taking steroids in an attempt to bulk up.
What Timmy has are battle wounds, either from his work on the court, or from a spell that a rival wizard cast on him in days gone by.

Well played, my friend.
Just make sure that at the end of the 1st quarter you head down towards the court. That way you’ll make it down by the end of the 3rd to near the floor when dampier lays Tony out, so that you can scream at him and have your voice heard.

Nice. You’re a high roller like me. I’m going to leave work early on Thursday and head to my place to get ready. I’m going with some friends but we should meet up at the game before tip off. Also, we’re going to hit uptown after the game. You guys are more than welcome to come kick it with us. I’ll holler at you on facebook.

I could not agree with you more on this. Wearing Bruce’s home white in Phoenix is vintage. The only thing that tops it is wearing Horry’s away black in Detroit.
And God Bless You for being apparently the only other SPURS fan on the planet who has the good sense and the balls to buy a Bruce jersey.

Let’s face it.
It’s the NBA.
It’s the playoffs.
As far back as I can remember, come playoff time, layups and dunks become harder to come by. Not only because of the increased defensive intensity but also because of the willingness to give the hard foul in order prevent any easy buckets. In the playoffs, you have to work harder for it. Of course if you don’t even bother to go for the ball or worse yet, intentionally try to hurt another player, ejections, fines and or suspension should be enforced, but a more physical play is to be expected.
That being said, if these thugs cross the line (ala Juwan Howard’s take down of Derek Anderson a few years back) Ime and or KT will need to step up relaliate.
Eye for an eye I always say
I fully expect the Spurs and whoever we play to lay their fair share of hard fouls. Hopefully no one gets hurt and may the best team win.

Well said. If he does follow through on taking a hard foul, then I expect Kurt to knock the hell out of somebody as well, and I hope he has is sights set on #31.

Well... this was unexpected... or was it?!?!?
Dallas center Erick Dampier is “under review” by the NBA for promising to put Tony Parker “on his back” in Game 3 of the teams’ first-round series.
According to SA.com
Wonder how this is going to roll out…
Hope this is not a “bait and switch” move by the Mav d’bags…. Refs need to focus on all of them, not just Ericka!!!!
