Yes indeed. The way to tackle is to stick your hip
out. That is standard in football, the hip tackle.
The league intentionally overlooks the Spurs
because the Spurs bring such high TV
ratings. Your claims that the NBA protects
the Spurs make absolutely no
sense.

You see the Spurs making more dirty plays
because you have seen them in more playoffs
games than any other team.

In 1999, when the Spurs won their first NBA title,
people said they could never win because they
were too soft. Duncan, the player who makes
the difference, was not dirty enough.

Now; The opposite because they win.

You cannot tell me with a straight face
that Kobe has not thrown some of the nastiest
elbows of the 21st century. Kobe gave Ginobili
his 50% of his massive nose by breaking it.
Kobe was suspended for it. Because of course Stern
hates LA. The same guy who said the best Final
for the NBA would be LA vs. LA.

And Horry hip checking Nash is a dumb
way to try to injure anyone. That is not the move
you make to hurt someone. It accomplished one thing.
Getting the stupid Sun's Assistant coaches yelled at
for not keeping the players on the bench.

Horry's move tonight was the way to injure someone.
Nash got hurt much
more by Tony Parker's head
than his Canadian soccer flop
than from Horry.

And now Kurt Thomas is dirty also. He never was
on Phoenix, but on San Antonio, he is dirty.
You want dirty teams. Detroit with Rodman and Laimbeer.
That was an extraordinarily dirty team.

You want dirty,
Utah with Stockton and Malone. Malone was one of the worst
of all time. Chicago bull forward, Knick forward
Charles Oakley. Mutumbo. I could go on and on
but you wont remember them as being dirty...

CAUSE they NEVER WON.
And you did not see them every year.
