A Few Thoughts on Mavs 111, Clippers 154

Those guys aren’t enforcers, they’re just dirty players that try to cause injuries. No place on our team or in the NBA for players like them.

Throughout the history, NBA is full of those guys. I am not saying guys that go for intentional injury, but guys that play tough, protect our stars, basically what you described later on. It's not like Bev and Morris are just intentional injuries and nothing else. I guess that a line with these kind of guys is very thin.

I agree. With the money that's paid to even average players in the NBA, they'll do almost anything to stay on the money train. Sometimes you even get a whole team of them together - Bad Boy Pistons, for example.

FWIW, I'm in the "he stepped on Luka on purpose" camp. Broke stride with a little hop and his foot just happens to step on Luka's? I ain't buyin' it.
