Webber: "Dallas is the weakest team I ever played against!"

[from_ro_to_dirk]

i wouldnt put any stock into what a dumbass like Webber says because after one of the preseason games that was on NBA TV he said that Dirk 'doesnt work hard on the floor". the host seemed to ignore that comment, im sure thinking Webber is a dip.

Some of it could be him trying to make a name for himself in the sports commentary world and as I said, he's the last person to be talking about weak anything. I can't tell you how much I laughed at his little fake tough face he used to show on the court. I wanted some kid to walk up to him and ask if he was constipated (somewhat ala "Let's go to Prison").

Laugh all you want at them, sports is a macho world full of competitive guys looking for any way to chink your armor.

Of course, and that's the funny thing: it doesn't chink squat. You may be "macho" for touching his face and reciting heterosexually-charged lyrics from your favorite R&B sensation in Harlem, but what exactly did you accomplish in the bigger scheme of things? He's still a top power forward who went on to have his best playoff series in a long time while you're, well, who are you again? Oh right, you tapped his face. Bravo; you sure showed him, tough guy.

Dirk is soft in a lot of ways and that's what I hate about him, but for refusing to retaliate? Uh-uh, no siree.

hes right, everyone knows dallas is weak. when we play yall we know yao is gonna dominate your sissy big men, and your 7 footers are gonna shoot whimpy 20 foot jumpers. your sg terry is 5'11''. howard is a skinny wuss. dirk is the softest player in the history of the league.

[studcrackers]

and yet u still lost by 40 to us in a game 7, go douche it up on another board

[McGrady2Head]

a few bad calls went your way, or there wouldnt have been a game 7, we would have won in 6. plus we played 5 on 4 the whole series because ryan bowen was our pf. yall are soft though. i know i cant talk much, because t-mac and yao are soft too. just because your mavs fans doesnt mean you cant admit the truth. Dirk is soft, your whole team is soft. i actually thought t-mac was on the level of kobe when we played you guys in the playoffs 4 yrs ago, but he hasnt been on that level since, and i realized its because we were playing the mavs thats why he looked so good. t-mac and yao are softer than every team they play against except for the mavs. yall make us look tough when we play yall. thats just the truth. dirk is so weak, i think yall had a chance to trade him for garnett and few years back and passed on it, you probably cost yourself 2-3 championships. if you make that trade, and never make the kidd trade, your rollin with...

Devin Harris/Terry/Howard/KG/Damp

thats a few titles there probably. you definitely dont lose to miami in the finals, or the warriors in the 1st round. and last year if west got in kg's face like that he'd still be trying to find his teeth. that was the icing on the cake there about the mavs and dirk. dirk was scared of west, and nobody came to help him. weak

That team would never reach the finals because no team averaging 70 points will reach the finals.

I guess that's the difference, I view slapping his hand away as standing up for himself, you view it as retaliation. Slapping his hand would have escalated the matter and forced the referees to act more appropriately to what was going on. The league would then review the tape and West could have had a 1 or 2 game suspension for that move. At that point, who's laughing at who?

Spare me the peace trip, you don't stop a bully by turning the other cheek. Yes, there is a way to handle every situation with a WWJCD attitude, that's not what Dirk was doing either.
