Man, Ginobili needs to go the the Stockton and Malone school of flopping...That had to have been the most pathetic attempt at a flop that I've ever seen. It looked like he tripped over his shoelace or something...
They were one of the Rockets big rivals back in the glory days of the mid-eighties, David Robinson stole the ROY award from my boy Tim Hardaway by "serving" in the Navy, and their fans are a bunch of cocky b*stard. All that combined with the fact that their PG is a freakin' Frenchman pushes them over the edge. Of course, I love the Spurs compared to the Lakers...
The more I see of Manu, the more I lose respect for him. Just play the goddam f*&*# game man, stop all the flopping. Same goes for Dirk. I used to like both of these guys before this year's playoffs. Not anymore.
by one angle it did look like daniels' elbow grazed ginobili at best, but from the other angle they showed right after the play there was no contact. the behind angle is what can be deceiving, i guess manu was hoping for the same thing. as for Jerome James love how the guy has been stepping it up in the playoffs so far this year (well outside of games 1 and 2 in this series) but he had some crazy facials on duncan. this guy is a FA this year i am sure he is wowing some teams right now and will get a nice paycheck whenever the sonics season ends
I don't have a problem with somebody cheering for the Rockets and the Spurs. However, respect other people's domain. This is not the right forum to cheer for the Spurs. This forum is made up of Rocket talk. If you want to express your ideas about the Spurs, go to a Spurs forum. No pun intended
this is the nba dish not the GARM anything nba related can go here, including threads about other teams and even supporting other teams.
I guess he has a right to say this now. Rick Adelman's quote to him was classic too, when he told him to "find another line of work."
He's taken what Stockton and Malone did to another level. There's a reason that both the Nuggets and Sonics have taken very hard fouls on Ginobili coming into the lane. His pitiful flopping is just at another level, one even the Jazz of the 90's would be ashamed of partaking in. Like George Karl said, Manu is a travesty to the NBA. Drive down the lane out of control and have your neck snap back like you've been shot and get BS calls. Then on the other end Ginobili gets in your face defensively, reaches, then flops when you drive on him. He gets the benefit of the doubt in both cases. He's just a disgrace to the NBA at this point and I expect to see more teams take very hard fouls on him; it's karma. Cut out the pu$$y crap and play basketball or don't complain when you get your butt planted when u drive the lane. Ginobili may be a bigger flopper than Nowitzki even.
Looked to me like the view from behind Manu, where you sould not see his face at all, was the deceptive one.
Does anyone besides me think the Sonics can extend this to 7 games? No one else on this forum has given them any respect so far. Some of you guys actually picked the Kings in the first round. If Rashard ever starts going off, the Sonics could pull it out. I can't believe they won yesterday with Ray Allen's FG% so low. But the bottom line is Rashard MUST start playing better or the Sonics have no chance. I'm very disappointed in him.
They get some respect, just that SA gets much more. If the Sonics started hitting everything in every game even with SA's defense in their face, of course they can win. But I don't think it's likely and doesn't look like this one will go 7. They were really close to being down 0-3. Looked to me like they were pulling out all of the stops to squeek by with a win at home.
Great game last night...Spurs had it, but give credit to the Sonics...Spurs should win the next two and play the Suns...
The only reason the sonics won, because the Spurs choked big time down at the end with all those missed free throws. I think jerome james will probably get a good contract and who ever gives it to him will regret it. He just seems to much like Cato
