Dirk for ya. Still doesn't beat his "Fake elbow to the nose" (can't recall which game it was), where he acted as if he was struck by an elbow to the nose, and the replay showed it clearly missed him, as a "hurt" Dirk laid on the floor for some time.
It was definitely a foul. He just sold it a little too much. Good call by the refs, but funny reaction by everyone involved!
definitely had a flopper chant going at the game. I just turned the volume way up, put my ear real close, and although there were only 5 of us, I could kind of hear "flopper" faintly, especially around the 30 second mark. I could not believe this when I saw it.

lol, no way this was a flop by dirk. dirk lost his balance and stumbled going backwards AFTER the foul by scola and the call.
yeah, but only in the eyes of a true homer. the foul and the call were made before dirk even started going backwards. it would have been a flop if the stumbling and falling caused the call by the refs, but as everyone can see in the video that wasn't the case. well, haters gonna hate. so nevermind.
I think you are both right...it was a foul, and he did stumble...but still, the way he fell almost to the other half of the court just seemed so over-exaggerated that even he himself had to grin.
There was a definite foul while Dirk was in the air. Scola gave him a nice little bump and he lost his balance tumbling backwards. Personally I'm tired of hearing Bullard and Bill complain about flops, It's all part of the game, selling the foul. The ones I don't like are the ones where there's "No Foul" and the player goes flying or throws his hands around. I enjoy the game where there lots of bumping and lots of physical play, then you know the guys are out earning their $$$$. If anyone of you guys were bump like that you would have went flying all the way back to your couches. LOL
Ok, well it only seemed logical that you being German has something to do with defending and supporting another German. I don't blame you if you like the Mavs though. Chinese fans love Yao.
I dunno gaiz, that was pretty bad. Scola probably deserved a flagrant 2 on that one. We're lucky he was able to walk away with just a single foul call. If the NBA reviews that, Scola could be looking at a couple weeks of suspension without pay.
