The Mavericks got it pushed in last night ( lost to the Spurs 84-105 in game two of their first round playoff series ), and the frustration compelled Mavs center Erick Dampier to deliver this gem of a post game quote:

“Parker got into the teeth of our defense and caused problems,” he said. “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.”

Sweet plan, Clubber Lange.



I hate Tony Parker. It’s a well documented hate, but in case you didn’t know him and I have the same birthday, which makes him exactly one-year older than me. And short of having a better beard, he pretty much one-ups me in every dept. (NBA Titles, NBA Finals MVPs, Eva Longorias, etc.). Plus, the Spurs are the boringest basketball show on Earth.

It’s an involved hatred, and with that in mind I can honestly say that this quote by Dampier directed towards my mortal enemy is the most clownish display of the young playoffs yet.


Maybe it’s a close second…
