You are just taunting me into wasting half my morning tomorrow crafting a terrific rant on this subject aren’t you?

I am with you. I really hadn’t noticed how much CFlop3 flopped until this series, and his flops are egregious, obvious, ridicuolous, retarded, like-a-ten-year-old, and maybe only passable because he is so small. I mean most PGs that flop, do it on “charges” a la Derek Fisher, but he is friggin insane. He will flop when an opponent helps him up. I half expect him to flop while he is shooting freethrows. I think he flopped when the Spurs towel boy handed him a cup of gatoroade, in hopes of drawing a technical.

that flop with the fab elbow should’ve made sportscenters top 10. i haven’t seen moves like that since cuban was on dancing with the stars.

Oh and one more thing on the carries, oh my. How does he get away with that? One of his carries was two feet above his head. Are you really allowed to just take as many steps as you want as long as you hold the ball above your head? What the hell was that, and why did the ESPN announcers not notice that something weird happened? They replayed it as if it was some sort of a great play, but I thought I detected some embarassment on their part.

Thank God for this site. Where i can read a few posts and feel at ease that others share my opinions. CP is quickly taking the mantle of biggest fucking flopper. the fab elbow shit was so fucking ridiculous. he’s a hell of a player but at least flop within the flow of the game. not on a fucking dead ball. It’s driving me fucking crazy to see CP flop all over the damn court. But of course I wouldn’t ever expect one of the commentators to say he ever flops. No, he’s an American and doesn’t have an accent so its good basketball in their eyes.

I can’t say I’m really bugged by the flopping. Maybe because it was way worse in the first round and right now its just apparent in some players. I kinda wish Paul would stop making every damn shot he took. Its like using cheat codes or something.

As long as they do it the right way. As long as it’s legal, I see no point in people getting into a dither over real or perceived flopping. Play smart, and don’t put yourself in a position to get caught by a flop. That said, Paul’s brand of flopping different. His off-ball and dead-ball acts of thespianism are a disgrace to him and his team, not to mention they point to a character issue. If you’re gonna flop, at least do it in the course of the game. And do not, do not, DO NOT flop and then stare down your opponent as if itching for a confrontation. As much as people complain about Manu, the one thing you can always count on is the opposing player losing his cool and lashing out while Manu strokes free throws and doesn’t get tangled up in stare-downs or arguments. Play the game with integrity, paul!

ALL I CAN SAY IS EFF YES! good win

Spurs fans whining about flopping. This thread redefines irony.

what the hell? i think i’ll stick to this site.

anyone have any links to cp3’s flops last night? i didn’t watch the game

ginobli sucks glad to see your back here with your horrible opinions and suggestions as usual.. Yeah real stupid of Pop to put Bowen on Peja..as you suggested to put Finley or Barry on Peja..and Mo Peterson your little lover sucked too because he can’t shoot over someone who is the same height as him!

Ginboli sucks= Moron!

Even with a bad ankle, nobody on the Whornets could guard Ginobili. Not Fatzi, not Paul, not Mo, Not Wright.

yes, manu will still kick someones ass on a bad ankle.

I should probably start another thread on this… Have you guy seen the ALL-NBA team announcement?

http://www.nba.com/news/all_nba_080508.html

Manu made 3rd team. I think he should have been ranked a little higher, especially considering Pierce, Yao, and TMac got first place votes. How does Yao get two first place votes? Maybe the lack of “true” centers helped him out.

All in all, I think 3rd team is about right considering the limited minutes. If they had a “ALL-NBA Clutch/Games That Matter/Playoff Team”, Manu would be First Team and guys like Dirk, Nash, Amare and TMac wouldn’t get a lick.

I don’t think they got it right with Tony though. He ended up with 1 measly vote. That’s one less than Ason Kidd. TP definitely deserves more credit than that.

agreed. bogus

Damn… I stop reading for a couple of days and this is what happens? Who brought this GS douche nozzle? I mean I can respect trolls that have something insightful to say but he’s just a waste of space.

On to more important things… Great win by the good guys last night. Seems like as long as we can avoid our 3rd quarter meltdowns and keep the games close in the fourth our experience will prevail every time. A lot of people had issues with N.O. before the playoffs because of their lack of experience and now the media has done a 180 and decided CP3 and the Hornies are the greatest thing since sliced bread legalized prostitution. But really, all of that experience only pays off in the final minutes of a close game, and of course, that is where we have an enormous advantage over the Hornies. I don’t know what Pop needs to do to make sure every game stays close until the 4th. Maybe kickin Manu in the Balls right before every 3rd quarter would help since he plays better in pain and pissed off.

Suffice it to say, I feel better about this series as long as we don’t ever let the game get outta hand before the 4th. Sure, we’re renowned for our defense, our toughness and at times, our gamesmanship and even our flopping, but the strength of Our Team will always be 4th quarter basketball with the game on the line, and THAT is true Spurs Basketball. All of that experience will be invaluable for 12 minutes of every game for the rest of this series…

um… that is if we don’t get blown out in anymore 3rd quarters

Hornies… you’ve been warned.

Go Spurs Go!

on a fansite? i dont think this word means what you think it means.

That was a good win, but I’m not impressed yet. Win game 4 and then it’s a new series.

haha that is ridiculous. yeah manu flops occasionally, but paul is taking flop to a new level. i love the commentators don’t even call it flopping, its “selling”

paul clearly forgot he was on tv and there would be many a photographer and camera… hahaha, i love it

Great stuff. The NBA needs to address all the flops. It is getting a tint of pro wrestling on it. Obviouse flops should be called as a delay of game. The CP3 flop would certainly quailify. The Kobe fall down moves where nobody makes contact with him would qualify as well. Won’t stop all the flopping, but it would send a message to all the players and shame the hell of players who are called for it.

I agree about Ginobli Sucks. He is a troll and needs to get booted off this site.

Why didn’t Pop move Potato Head to Stoyjack sooner? Seems like a no brainer. Everyone has been calling for it. He made the move, good on him, but why not during game 2?

Ginobes is hurt and it is tough to watch. He was tracking down that loose ball in the first half and couldn’t even plant his foot to grab the ball from going out of bounds. He is a legend though and he did what legends do…win.

I’ve thought about this flopping as well. It would be extremely hard for thes Refs to see what was real and what was fake. They already have a hard time getting any calls right. If you could somehow get by it I would eliminate charges altogether, but I’m not quite sure how this could be done. Don’t you guys remember that play when Parker ran into Shaq who bolted him to the floor and there was Nash trying to take the charge? It’s too dangerous for the offensive player.
And I’m new here and I agree that there should be postive Spur posting.
Back to the series: I think Ginobli is feeling better and he needs to put a hurt on the Hornets. Let him have the rock and shoot until his Argentinean arms fall off. I’d like to more threes from him until he’s at full strength. He does need to take it easy and nail those tre’s if he’s open.
