hoops Kind of a close call... doesnt look like Stackhouse pulled anyone down... looks like Ginobli pulled a flop and decided to take down Stackhouse for playing some hard defense... -
Ben Q. Rock Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. -
RedBaron The video sure looks like a Stackhouse takedown. But with Ginobili, it must be a flop.
ABC Appreciates The Choke Out
Deuce of Davenport | Sports News, Commentary, Humor, Videos —
"I love Stackhouse's tenacity on this Mavericks team." You gotta love endorsing fighting and dirty play. Maybe next time Stackhouse will suplex some meatball so he won't get the offensive board.

Das Schlimmste auf das Wochenende

New York Knicks: This team set a new standard in Worst of the Weekend history. On Friday night, they ended the Grizzlies' 18-game road losing streak by getting blown out 120-106 at Madision Square Garden. On Saturday night, they played in Minnesota and got abused 114-93 by the Timberwolves. That's 35 points worth of losing to two of the worst teams in the league. Let's just rename them the Washington Generals and call it a season, okay? Isiah Thomas: Zeke still thinks he has a future in New York, even though Knicks owner James Dolan met with -- and was subsequently turned down by -- ...

The Pistons lost their second straight game Sunday night in Washington 95-83. Detroit hadn't played since their loss to Cleveland three days earlier, but they played like they were on the second game of a back to back in DC. The Wizards came out and played this one like their season depended on it. Each game is crucial for The Wizards to insure a playoff spot. After the win against Detroit, Washington now holds a 1 1/2 game lead on Philadelphia and Toronto for the fifth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Key Points: The offense was surly not flowing, but Detroit's defense looked less than stellar as they allowed Washington to score ...
Dirk Has Fallen And He Can't Get Up (For At Least Two Weeks) [Nba Closer]
Deadspin —
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who loves March Madness as much as the next guy but is really tired of hearing the phrase "You can tell they don't want to go home!" I mean, seriously, do the announcers need to tell us that over and over? Are there teams of players that DO want to go home? Anyway, when he's not nitpicking tournament cliches, he can be found picking a peck of pickled peppers at Basketbawful. Enjoy!
Dallas chokes game, Stack chokes Manu. The Dallas Mavericks regurgitated a 12-point third quarter lead and not only lost to the Spurs 88-81, they lost Dirk Nowitzki to a ...
Jeff Van Gundy Approves of Stackhouse's Take Down of Ginobili
FanHouse —
Filed under: Mavericks, Spurs, NBA Media Watch, NBA Videos Interesting commentary from Jeff Van Gundy during this play from yesterday's Mavericks-Spurs game. Manu Ginobili had position and boxed out Jerry Stackhouse, but Stack then grabbed Manu around the neck and took him down to the floor. Van Gundy's response? "I love Stackhouse's tenacity."
When Mark Jackson is the voice of reason and has to be the one to point out that this was a dirty play, there's a problem. I know Van Gundy was trying to be funny, as he went on to suggest a ...

Truth About It - Washington Wizards Blog —
The Wizards Run-Down The anti-Eddie Jordan crowd has ceased their crowing lately. Tuff Juice gives Eddie his full support, as he has done all year, and Ivan Carter of the Washington Post does well to drum up some support. Support came from Slam magazine giving some link love to the Washington Post's touting of Jordan. (Byron Scott seems to be the favorite among the commentors) So Michael Lee on Wizards Insider starts the east-coast Coach of the Year argument with four great cases, but gives no answer. Lez Bullez also talks about others in the ...
