To be a good flopper, your country has to have a great soccer tradition Germany, Spain, Argitina,......
Flop or not, this first half was all Manu. Man, I love his energy, poise and hard nosed play. He's very gifted. Look at him and Parker drive, you have to wonder how the Spurs scouting stuff can find those guys and Pop got them so much better. Suns is still Suns, they only worry about their offense, and try to outscore the Spurs, but playing with the Spurs you have to get your hands dirty, and play defense.
I dont see how anyone can hate on manu he is one of the toughest players in the nba. So he flops a little but he gets hit pretty hard too and he finishes. I wish everyone would play more like him and wade. They play fearless and dont just settle for a bunch of jump shots. Now about the whole flopping thing. I dont deny that he does it but some of those hits are pretty hard. Now if you wana be a little pansy and just sit there and shoot 3's....ya you might not be a flopper but you will never be that great either.
it's amazing how inevitable the fact the spurs will win game 4 is. phoenix does everything it can to build and hold a lead and the spurs vaporize it in about 20 seconds. it's over.
They dont like him because he not a Rocket ,but seriously hes great cold as ice when he plays never seems to be rattled
THAT is why people hate ginobili. holds on to amare well after the whistle and then flops like crazy as amare swings. or was he just clever spurs fans? why do people who are talented like ginobili feel the need to do such bush league stuff like that?
nice flop by Parker there. and did you hear Hubie Brown just now? "you can't be flopping now, take the contact." Hubie rocks.
Sweet!!! Suns Win! (not that I'm rooting for any of them, just didn't want a sweep nor happy Spurs fans after game)
amare just manning up at the end there! runs over parker for the layup, blocks the best player in the world on a freakin' dunk and then just knocks everyone out of the way for the game clinching rebound. that was heart right there. it's good to see phoenix salvage a game 5. the spurs just played way too well in games 1-3. hopefully they come back to earth a little and this gets at least to 6.
Yeah, Duncan even airballed a FT. That was an awesome block by Amare on TD at the end. The dude's an absolute stud...but phoenix will probably lose the next game at home.
