Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***

I've actually experienced my team in the Western Conferece Finals and the NBA Finals as well.

So get off your high horse as if you're something special.

I've been on a high horse for the past 10 years, and I think it will be quite a while until I'm off.


Also, the question is, how do y'all expect the NBA to enforce flops?

Re: ***Official 2007 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread***

Exactly.

Manu is a lot of things, a puss however is not one of them. He's not scared of anyone in the league, and he'll go full throttle into the teeth of any team. I have to respect that. It's not his fault refs don't do their jobs, and call things that shouldn't be called.

no ginobli's a puss!! anybody who has to flop all over the court is a puss. vlade divac was a puss

very true, but in one sense he manipulates the refs to favor him. But most of all this complaining is not the Spurs' fault. They are definitely the better team. They withstood a Utah run in the 3rd/4th quarter and pretty much were putting them away until all the flopping and ridiculous technicals were called.

I STRONGLY recommend Matrix and our fellow Spurs fans to stop the bickering.

Really, I wasn't aware you were in charge of who and who couldn't post in what forums.

That's not the point...you should be smart enough to have worked that out mate.

The point is...why bother going into forums to do with things you don't like and tell people that?

I don't think the baseball fans here need me telling them i think their game is unwatchable. Which is why i don't post there...........

Jazz don't get as many flop calls as Spurs do though. Yes Jazz and the rest of the NBA have their way. Wade has his way, kobe has his way, Shaq used to have his way, and I'm sure Jordan had his way. There is something terribly wrong with the nba and I think all of us need to be aware of it and do something about it rather than just complaining about it.

Fisher had his cool. He just went and fouled Manu and they called a Tech for no reason. The refs are the ones that lost their cool. Calling tech's for cheeseball plays. I wonder who is responsible for these technicals and for these referees.

Manu played well, but he got away with quite a few flops during the game.

Fisher watched Ginobili come up the floor and he promptly stepped in the way to "get into it" with him, hoping that the refs wouldn't see. Manu made sure they saw this bull**** by falling off balance (yeah, maybe flopping)... but Fisher was definitely losing his cool. Deserved his tech and getting tossed.

we should, but the nba will not listen unless we do bicker against them. It's their fault and they are ruining the sport of basketball.

Ginobili may be many things, inconsistent being one of them, but he's not a puss. He puts his body on the line nearly every possession. It's a wonder he hasn't had his neck broken.

Not on flops, but they don't get called for alot of the fouls they commit.

I think Fisher knew exactly what he was doing, and he was stupid for doing it right in front of the refs face.

As far as the flopping and terrible reffing, we can all agree on that but the league head honchos are most responsible for that.

Great. But the NBA forums or any forums here aren't for people who have only positive things to say about the respective leagues. Nor is it your job to monitor the forums or where I post.

You don't like what I said, ignore my posts. Quite simple.

ok maybe Fisher took things too far, but in no way was that a technical. They often call double fouls for that unless one of the players purposely fouls the other. In that case, Fisher just put his body into him and minded his own business, but Manu did his part by flopping...and in turn they called a tech on fish. Fish still maintained his cool after the two tech's, that's why I think he didn't completely lose his cool.

Oberto? What the hell? Also, I think he would have 2 technical fouls at the maximum, every game.
