    Jazz are just being classless now. I understand frustration but you played one heck of a game and you gave it your best, the Spurs just proved that they're better than you.

    Sportsmanship counts for something in my book. I don't like seeing teams 'act out' like this when they lose.

    Who gives a flip about the fans? You think Spurs fans are any better? And when it comes to flopping, Manu is the master while Fisher is an amateur.

    On Fisher: The guy's magic carpet ride has come to an end. So much for any ridiculous comparison between him and Horry. Fisher was never that good of a player and benefited from having Kobe Bryant as his backcourt mate for so many years. It earned him a contract he didn't deserve as is proven by his play with the Warriors and Jazz. Don't let a couple of games during the Warriors series fool you. I have to admit it was a great story for those couple of games, but Cinderella turned back into pumpkin.

    I thought it was a flop to at first, but on the slo-mo replay, it looked like Fisher really did initiate the contact. He just tried to be dirty on the sly. Can't fault Gino for making sure it got the refs' attention.

    I guess I'll just be as classless as the Jazz and their fans. I hope Rasheed Wallace rips Manu's nose off. What a punk.

    manu gets fouled as hard and as many times as iverson.. and he does a pretty good job getting the refs' attention.. he is not as big as a flopper as other players in the league..

    Some world class flopping and whining going on in this game. Kudos to Ginobili for getting the best flopping act of the night on that bump. Looked like he got shot dead in the face. Cherry on the sundae, Jazz fans going crazy throwing **** on the court way to go. Best way you get back from a 3-1 deficit is by having your fans toss crap around hoping to pull a Ron Artest on the Spurs and maybe getting a brawl going so just maybe their key players get suspended. ;)

    FT shooting and not getting stripped of the ball EVERY time you make a post move aren't part of fundamentals?

    Duncan was pathetic the last 2 games. Just pathetic. Making Okur and a ho-hum defensive team look great.

    Manu's flopping is just out of control. It's a disgrace and complete insult to everyone who has ever liked basketball. Without the benefit of calls gained from his obvious and lame flopping, he's at best an average basketball player.

    You must be a Spurs homer.

    Ginobili consistently drives to the basket out of control arms flailing, elbows flying, and knees leading ala Karl Malone.

    Then when someone breathes on him his neck snaps back like he was in a car accident.

    He is absolutely the worst flopper in the league. Name one worse?!

    Ginobili is not playing basketball out there, it's Hollywood.

    Guys is it coincidence that a bum defender like Okur can rough up Yao and now Duncan almost to point where they become ineffective? I think Okur has figured out that refs won't repeatedly call a reaching foul when his man is posting up. Look at the tapes he has done the same to Yao by hacking and stripping the ball every time Yao put the ball on the floor. Pretty smart thinking by Okur.

    Most of Okur's strips believe it or not are clean.

    Where he's committing fouls is by anticipating where the post up guy is going to move and sliding into that spot before the offensive player gets there.

    Okur's stepped up defensively and become a force, frustrating Yao and now Duncan. His help defenders are getting their hands in for strips too.

    Duncan puts the ball on the floor for way too many dribbles and exposes the ball, just like Yao did.

    Derek Fisher upset about flopping? Wow, talk about ironic. He, Malone and Divac were essentially the pioneers of it.

    the nba really needs to do something about flopping. its ruining the entire damn game of basketball.

    ginobili infuriated me today. hes completley out of control...i wish that it was still ok in bball to send out a goon to just lay him out on his flopping ass and show him what a real foul is like.


    damn i hate flopping. i hate ginobili. fishers not much better, but ginobili sucks the most. if you puched most of these guys in the face as hard as you can, they probably wouldnt go down, but ginobili gets grazed and just goes down hard. i have no idea why refs still fall for it over and over again; if i was a ref, i wouldnt call a foul for ginobili unless i saw blood. what a b****.
