What you do is you bide your time. Wait till the dude is going hard to the basket, then trip his ass. When he goes down, you start kicking him viciously as he curls up into the fetal position. "Don't you EVER put your HANDS in MY FACE!!! YOU HEAR ME BITCH!?!"

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.

*I* might have swung at you, true. But would it have been smart? Dirk is the reigning MVP, is it wise to risk getting ejected for a game, or worse if a melee breaks out?

Yes, because they might get him later in the shower, or out in the yard. He's got to show he ain't no punk.

Dirk should get him a spoon, sharpen that sucker up and shiv that dude. Leave him bleeding from the stomach on the ground out in the parking lot. That'll teach him.

Alternatives Dirk might consider for next time:

1)Turn the other cheek

2)Open wide and bring a Gerber pacifier

3)Shave so its as good for David as it is for Dirk

4)Bend over

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?

I would not like it at all, and amare is my favorite player. I didn't like it when starks lost his cool andhead butted reggie miller, and i hated JR reid for intentionally elbowing AC green in the mouth knocking out a tooth.... I think you have to keep your cool..

Having seen the clip now, this is what I think.

West had his finger out and Dirk walked right up to his face - he was not intimidated by West. West's two taps to the cheek took all of 1 second and 2 refs immediately came between them. There really wasn't time for Dirk to react, without mauling a ref. Had the refs not jumped in we don't know where it would have gone.

I think, in this instance, Dirk's passiveness is being overstated.

I totally agree Blue. I think Dirk's non-reaction is fine. The NBA suspends players for just about anything these days, there's no reason to risk getting suspended now. The best way for Dirk to react is to put up 40 the next game, all right in West's face.

By the way, I like the tactic by West, reminds me of the old Knicks. Sure it's a little dirty, but you know what, this is the playoffs and you do whatever you can to win.

if dirk throws a punch and gets suspended 2 games, and the hornets go up 3-0, we'd be talking about how dirk is a mental midget and cost his team the series by losing his cool. i think dirk was just caught off guard about how softly david west tapped him on the jaw and didn't realize what was going on. probably for the best for the mavs in the long run

If you look at the beginning of the clip you see that Dirk turns around to get a refs attention, then walks into Wests finger. He was essentially baiting West into doing something stupid while a ref is watching, thus earning West a suspension. Kinda crafty actually.

Dirk is German... and they are much cooler that guys of West type.
You need to work hard to make German man lose his cool.
But if you do - he can kill you without shade of regret and much emotion.
Also as any northern white man he thinks first and then does things.
So the assumption that he wanted to set West up is very likely.
It's all cultural stuff.

LOL. you might be right blue, but I tell you this, dirk is a lot cooler than me. I would have put all five of my figers in down west throat.... end of story... your hands have no business on my face unless you are my dentist or barber...

That's why Dirk is in the playoffs and you're home launching projectiles at the television set.

besides the fact that he is 7 feet tall and just slightly, and I mean slightly better than me. You are correct

In all seriousness, if you swung on me and connected? That would have been some good sleep

not only that eny, but I don't think anyone here in europe thinks of germans that way in a stereotype, more likely as hotheaded alcoholics
