I had to laugh when I first heard this...
…as Corey sits on my fantasy bench, and Terry is my opposition.
Way to get after it, Brew! (sorta kidding….at least a little….barely)
Dark Love is a-Brewin...
Message boards are a good place for jokes (that's all it was)
The laugh was at the irony of fantasy ‘production’ from Corey.
I’m sure there are plenty of classy remarks toward Corey coming out of Dallas right now…
Dark Love is a-Brewin...
I'll say again
While I am never ever a fan of someone getting injured (I hate Kobe to no end, but I still don’t want to see him get injured) and I don’t like our players being responsible for it, I don’t think Brewer was responsible.
Terry was playing some incredibly stupid defense (I enjoy the tenacity and effort, but it was stupid). He ran up behind Corey Brewer (of all people) and basically started dry humping his leg. Corey got the ball, turned to Terry being an inch from his body, made the correct play by swinging his arms over and getting around him, and drew a foul. And before you say it should have been an offensive foul, it should absolutely not have been. If you don’t believe me, go watch the game recap on NBA.com and watch how Terry put both arms on his body as he was still moving forward into Brewer’s path. While you’re at it, check out the rest of the recap and watch Terry foul Brewer on his steal that led to a dunk (if you don’t see it, then watch the replay of “Terry Steal and Dunk” and watch about half way through when they show it in slow motion). Before you get there though, watch the 3 that Corey made after Terry came back in at about 1:45 of the game recap. He literally put his hand on Corey’s business and I couldn’t tell for sure in the replay, but it looked like he probably tapped his shooting hand while he was running into him. And 1. If not the shooting hand, you have to give it to him for getting a nice groping.
IF Corey did it on purpose, do you really think he would have used his right elbow? No. If you are doing that out of malice, you are going to swing hard with the left elbow (which was closer and more direct). No way could Corey have turned and thought about hitting him that quickly and then swung one arm over and hit him with the other. Just not going to happen.
Agreed, pretty much.
I don’t wish any injury on anyone, but any type of hustle/physical contact injury of this ilk, I just don’t bat an eye at (and don’t have any problem joking about). They’re paid millions to do a job where it’s expected, common, and unavoidable. There was no ill will.
Ahh, but after a little look-see, there is most certainly some ill will coming from the big D:

Yeah I read that
and shook my head in disgust. Certainly wouldn’t be tolerated here, and I’m not even saying SnP or Wyn would ban him. He would just get a healthy dose of mockery.

The last time I encountered that poster, he was trying to rev up some sort of inter-board feud between Mavs fans and thsoe of the “thuggets”; he got tossed off the Denver board for posting baiting pictures.
Not worthy of engagement.

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "
"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"
"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.
"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."
"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied. He later added "We need to not always make hard work out of sex." Take cover whenever he pulls the undoing-card..
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.

Well, this is really embarrasing but it's the right thing to do
I apologize to all T-Wolves fans and SBN posters in general for my words in the Mavs blog. That was a really stupid thing to say, and even more considering how well you guys treat me when I stop by when our teams play. Anyone can have a bad day but it’s no excuse for saying something like that. There no reason to act like I was in the Amsterdam or the Abdón Porte watching Nacional (uruguayan soccer reference).
Again, my apologies. This whole situation taught me a lesson.
