That seems pretty dirty. There is no conceivable reason for him to draw a charge with 1.6 seconds left to go. Because:

a) Time would expire by the time they even make contact
b) Refs are lenient at the end of quarters
c) It's a frickin HALF-COURT shot success rate is low why even try to contest it and risk fouling
d) Ginobli has a history of flopping and playing dirty, given that I don't give him any benefit of the doubt.

F&@! Ginobli.

Giving Ish more playing time is a blessing? Really?????

Sheeesh. With AB in the game we at least had a chance. Blessing!? Really?

It was a dangerous and dirty play.

You dont slide your feet underneath someone who is airborne.

It's unfortunate and really unnecessary, but it's different to what Bowen does. I see lateral movement, unlike Bowen stepping forward and sliding under the guy in the air.

Good reason to not "take care of your players"?

It wasn't a dirty play. Bill Worrel sounds like a dumb ass asking for the league to look into this. The play was a byproduct of a league that encourages flopping and soft play but there was nothing malicious or dirty about it.

Players get hurt sometimes.

I wouldn't cal it dirty, taking a charge is part of the game. But it was a cheap and petty play

So no contract for Yao and his glass feet then, right?

Watch how badly Kevin Martin will play without AB giving him space.

Watch how crowded the paint will be for Yao now that there is no 3pt threat.

That looked bad, Brooks was running at full speed and took that big jump.

Well it's time to see what the other guys can do at PG. Lowery, Ish and Lee get thier chance.

Why. WHY. One of the greatest offensive backcourts in the league just got wittled down to Ishmael and Lee. Neither of who can create their own shot.

Lowry didn't travel with the team. Most likely won't be suiting up against Minny, indefinate return.

I cant stand these SA commentators. "The Spurs are just playing on a different level than Houston"

Really? I'm sure it has nothing to do with Yao, Brooks, and Martin not playing
