did anyone notice dirk in heated exchange in NOH game? - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

ghazi · 04-17-2008, 09:52 PM

dunno if this has been discussed, but I thought there was some odd stuff goin on when Kidd was shootin a FT and Nowitzki was exchanging words with the hornets bench apparently... maybe I misunderstood the situation altogether, but it looked kinda heated!!

am I right? wrong ? idiotic?

regardless GO MAVS!

At what point in the game did this happen (quarter and time)?

ghazi · 04-17-2008, 10:07 PM

it happened during Jason Kidd free thrwos... so according to the play by play, 2:14 left in 3rd quarter.

I really thought it was an unusual exchange, but maybe ti was just playin around.

LonghornDub · 04-17-2008, 10:12 PM

Just re-watched it and I don't see anything even remotely resembling what you're talking about. Are you sure it was then?

ghazi · 04-17-2008, 10:16 PM

nothing during Jason Kidd's free throws?

maybe I have the FT shooter mixed up, which case I don't know what time it occured.

I believe it was in the 3rd quarter though, and after the no call when he got mugged on the 3 ball.

BGMaverick9 · 04-17-2008, 10:23 PM

probably not the bench...probably a ref in front of the bench.

JamesVE · 04-17-2008, 10:47 PM

I noticed Dirk was yelling pretty animatedly at a teammate and pointing to spots on the floor. It looked to me like one of the big guys missed a screen or blew a play and pissed Dirk off. I don't think this was during free throws but maybe right after a ball was tipped out of bounds or something. I'm pretty sure this was the third quarter..

monty55555 · 04-17-2008, 10:57 PM

I saw that moment. I just watched it again and it happened in the 3rd quarter with 5:34 left. JKidd was fouled and taking some FTs and there was Dirk having a "conversation" (more like a heated exchange?) with someone. I just don't know if its with the ref?

twistaeffect2004 · 04-17-2008, 11:17 PM

I just saw it too monty. It had to be either with the ref or Tyson Chandler as those were the only two there. I'm gonna say it was the ref since Chandler didn't react at all.

I think so too. I tried to decipher what he was saying but I couldn't figure it out. I initially thought Dirk was speaking German.

LonghornDub · 04-18-2008, 12:31 AM

Oh I just found it. It was at 5:34 left in the 3rd. Looks like Dirk is talking to the ref.

Dirkadirkastan · 04-18-2008, 12:38 AM

The only thing I can hear clearly is him saying, "HUH??"

cinemablend · 04-20-2008, 03:33 AM

I think Dirk is getting a little tired of never getting any help from his team when it counts.

I can't blame him.

horse900703 · 04-20-2008, 07:32 AM

We need to win next game!!!

Rick41 · 04-20-2008, 02:01 PM

I know dirk was about to beast tyson chandler after he wouldnt step off his nuts. Dirk gave him an armpit to the face!

Dtownsfinest · 04-20-2008, 08:29 PM

Dtownsfinest · 04-20-2008, 08:34 PM

I wish Dirk would've been a "beast" towards David West when he pointed his finger in Dirk's face.

twistaeffect2004 · 04-20-2008, 08:52 PM

I can understand not wanting to get suspended by reacting to David West. But man, David West basically disrespected him by tapping him on the face like Dirk is a rookie or something.

We all remember the last time someone pissed off Dirk in the playoffs *cough* Tim Thomas *cough* and Dirk went off for 50 the next game. I expect a great performance from the Dirkster on Tuesday.

It was the same game..

Dirkenstien · 04-21-2008, 08:44 AM

That's shameful. Definitely taking the higher road there but how awesome would it have been if Dirk back handed West's face when that happened.

I'll have to admit that our Dallas team is a little soft but I guess that's not the worst thing we could be labeled as.

Kidd Karma · 04-21-2008, 12:12 PM

Best remedy for this type of revenge is to win the frigign series, no matter what it takes, win the friggin series, no, batle within a battle, win the series. Dismantle their team.

MavsFanFinley · 04-21-2008, 01:13 PM

I wouldn't have wanted Dirk to do something to get supsended but slapping his arm away or shoving him back would have been nice to see.

I'd rather Dirk do his talking and fighting on the court by taking it to West and the Hornets and winning this series.

This is Dallas. Dirk would have been ejected. Maybe they eject West to make it look good, but still.

He wouldn't have been ejected by moving West's finger out of his face. Now had he hit him in the nuts like Terry did to Finley a couple of years ago I think that warrants a suspension.

kappasigma · 04-21-2008, 02:03 PM

It would be the 1st time ever a player has been ejected for moving another man's finger out of his face. You can bring up other Mavs being ejected and suspended if you want but all of those ejections have been warranted. I know i'm suppose to be on the "League is against the Mavs" campaign that 90% of the other Mavs fans are on but I refuse to take part in that garbage.

Dirk slapping West's hand away and not getting suspended is one possibility.

The other one is that we're sitting here today debating whether or not Dirk's fist was opened or closed, as he brought his arm down in a foward motion.

I'm glad we aren't.

The doulbe-tech was major B.S. and people (media) are making way too much of this. From listening to everyone, you'd think West dry-humped Dirk right there on the court.

West can suck it. All I want is for the Mavs to send their asses to the golf course.

If they do that, I couldn't care less that someone tapped Dirk on the cheek.

Not only could we have been detabing open and closed fist, etc, but who knows how it escalates if Dirk retaliates in any way. If Dirk slaps West's hand, West might take a swing, or someone from the Hornets comes charging in more aggressively. Maybe Josh comes to Dirk's aid like he did Devin in the preseason.

Who the hell knows.

It would've been nice to see that kind of hustle from him.

Those days seem to be behind him. He's an elite scorer now, hustle isn't required of him anymore.

rabbitproof · 04-21-2008, 03:46 PM

I think this worrying about suspension is the same as playing to the refs. If you play to get the foul (flop or draw a foul) instead of getting the bucket or the stop, you're only hurting yourself in the long run. Everybody knows the rules.

Don't instigate shit but don't let people abuse you either. Removing someone's finger from your face is not suspension worthy. That paranoia is on another level. If David West sticks his finger up Dirk's nose, is Dirk just suppose to hold still?

Dirkenstien · 04-21-2008, 04:51 PM

Yeah it's just the fact that Dirk stood there and took it.

I was hoping he would at least give West a mad man's stare and start laughing in his face like that cracked up creature in rabbitproof's sig.

Next game, if I were Dirk, I would stick a finger at West, get West riled up, see if West is willing to escalate. In the Cle-Was game, when James had a dunk, he did Stevenson's signature hand to face move.

Windmill360 · 04-21-2008, 05:04 PM

Let's hope Dirk will respond to the same effect he did v phx, ala the Tim Thomas incident.

Look, West was doing nothing but baiting. He WANTED Dirk to respond. And people act like he did it for a long period of time and Dirk just stood there and took it.

It all happened in the span of about 5 seconds. I applaud Dirk wholeheartedly for not responding at all.

End of story.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-21-2008, 05:33 PM

Dirk just needs to fight fire with fire. Send him little patronizing kisses. Get under West's skin. Make him outplay you by playing your own mental game. I'd spell it out for West like this the whole game....

ty · 04-21-2008, 05:38 PM

Is it just me or has Dirk been driving much less? Sigh, ankle problems...
