    I totally agree. In playoffs he is floping on every play. He is just awful to watch. I even sometimes think he is careless with the ball in his hands. He always avoids the contact, he is not strong enough maybe

    first 5 mins of the 3rd will go a long way towards determining if there is a game 6

    good first half. keep up the D AND the offense.
    don't let them back into this. crush them completely.

    It's not that he isn't strong enough... I really think it's just his style of play. It likes that scoop shot way too much to try to avoid contact when he should be initiating the contact.

    As previous posters have said, this is a physical game. He needs to stop flopping and just continue to D up.. the refs obviously aren't going to give him the call.

    Why is Scola flopping all over the place? Has he even gotten one call while flopping this series?

    This is pathetic. I cant root for a flopper.

    Utah had three chances at their last bucket, because Scola was too busy laying on the ground after a failed flop. Luther is still making rookie mistakes in his 3rd year and 12th play-off game.On a positive not Chuck is having a good game, and Battier is amazing.

    Wow our FIRST lead ever at half time. Bodes well for us. Scola, I like the hustle but the flop stops here. :D

    i don't know why every euro player tries to flop. just fall when you get some hard contact like battier.

    he falls down a lot but nobody accuses him of flopping.

    I agree. Utah would like to come back. Remember Game 4, it was time when they built a 16 pts lead but than we were able to cut it. That's why we need to take ball to the rack, that's why we need to compete defensivly because we are 'good' at giving up leads.

    But I belive we are not going to give it to Jazz, we gotta fight and WIN this game.
