Watching the mavs/ hornets game, when I saw west put his hands in dirks face and tap his face like that, while dirk did nothing, I had to walk out of the room so that my 5 year old daughter would not hear me curse and act like a fool.. For one moment, I wanted dirk to break west nose, I wanted him to do something, slap his hand down violently, mush him in the face, but what I didn't want to see him do was nothing... and that is what dirk did... Nothing... I am sorry, and I am not trying to act like I am some big time tough guy, but you put your hands in my face like that and you are taking a risk of getting your mouth punched in. I don't care who it is, IF I take an azz whoopin for it, then so be it, but I am a man first, basketball player second and that is just not tolerable.. West in my opinion should get dealt with, by the NBA first and the mavs players second...

Now this is my problem, if dirk retaliates, lets say, he smacks his hands down, mushes him in the face or even tackles him to the floor. dirk will get ejected and probably suspended( if he throws a punch or engages in a fight).... This is where the NBA should look at that film and suspend west for a game... That to me sends a message that if you instigate a fight, you are missing a game, he put his hands on dirks face, I don't care if it is a punch, slap or tap, your hands do not belong on another mans face unless you are his barber..... And last time I checked west isn't dirks barber... I am really upset about this becauase the NBA does not do enough against guys who instigate fights, it always seems to be the guy who retaliates who gets the brunt of the punishment.. All I am asking is for the NBA to step up and suspend west azz!!!

And for dirk to step up and not act like a punk..... go out and drop 50 on the hornets.....

I feel you bro. I'm a pansy but you gotta stand up for yourself. It's a tournament game in the best league in the world. Dirk is not gonna get shot for protecting himself. Dirk is a bitch and so is Cuban for thinking Jason Kidd was gonna bring then closer to a Championship.....They needed a big man....Knicks have Curry and Zach.....they shoulda got one of them instead of Kidd. At least that would keep a dude like David West from doing what he did to Dirk. He would do it to Curry cuz thats who he would be guarding....Dirk could then destroy whoever else is put on him....and they don't have to change the offense....

And yeah, the NBA needs to look into situations better and judge them based on the complete situation....and stop screwing just the Knicks!

I hope D West continues to get at him.

wish there was a knick(s) with that attitude and the game to back it.

I agree. That was not worth Dirk getting suspended for a game.

Panos.....if I was poppin **** to you pointing and touched your face I would be picking my teeth off the floor.....and thats the bottom line.

It's not a big deal. All Dirk had to do was slap his hand away. Refs and all that woulda broke it up as they did.......Dirk didn't do anything. He is a fag! worse than micheal jackson.

Not that big of deal at all. I think in the heat of the moment I have motioned his hand away but I definitely wouldn't try to give a all out retaliation. Dirk better be fortunate West didn't truly get in them cakes.

so because dirk is "soft" it was Ok.. you guys have no problem with that? But if dirk was to retaliate with a punch, then he wouldn't be wrong? or soft? Ok.... LOL

it has nothing to do with Dirk being soft...have a coke and a smile and applaud the fresh meat showing some steel from rip...NO has been working hard and playing good basketball for 3 years now and it finally all came together for them

if it was Amare doing that to Duncan would you really be in appaul?

It has nothing to do with Dirk being soft. I don't see Dirk as soft as others do although he's not as tough as he needs to be at times. The countless number of elbows Dirk was throwing and flailing of his arms wildly just about sent West over the top. It was an ordinary in the face altercation which didn't require any extra responses. if Dirk would have responded it wouldn't have been wrong but unecessary.

From this post I thought the guy was mushing his hands in Dirk's face. It wasn't that big a deal and nothing worth getting ejected/suspended over.

I do think the NBA is too soft nowadays though. All these fines, suspensions, and flagrant fouls being handed out in today's NBA is a joke.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

It is about prevention of altercations in a playoff series.. guys get tech for verbally going back and forth... to put your hands on another man, or on his face is out of line..

In that situation, you do whatever you feel you can get away with, without being ejected. Swatting his hand is the minimum, I think he would've gotten away with an open handed jab. I remember when Peeler went at KG, years ago - KG didn't do too much but atleast he got in his stance. If you do absolutely nothing, you let the other team keep a psychological advantage that, I think, ends up helping their performance.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.
