Vujacic Flops

[DazedAndConfused]

This certainly looked like an unnatural basketball act to me. If I'm LA I'm sending the tape in ASAP. Bruce should be suspended for that, no question about it. He straight threw an elbow at Sasha.

W1IwnBDHcxA

[J.T.]

He flopped like the overrated scrub he is.

[Eli Manning]

Definitely flopped.

[DazedAndConfused]

So I guess Bruce was just stretching out his elbow on that play right?

LOL, that was as blatant as it gets. Bruce went for an elbow chop right at Sasha.

[Tom Brady]

Lol, Vujacic should drink more milk if he gets hurt by his own flops. Look at him hold his shoulder. Aww, what's the matter Sasha? Want me to kiss it and make it all better?

[Zee Laker]

It wasnt even a foul. What the hell you talking about?

[Austin Powers]

That flop was smashing baby, yeah!

[Officer Slater]

At least Steve Nash wins the flopping championship! :smokin

[Bruno]

Please, pink this guy.

[Phil Hellmuth]

fuck sasha, he screams like a lil bitch when he tries to draw a foul

[J.T.]

Please, pink this guy.

For serious.

:tu timvp, I see what you did there.

[Man of Steel]

Hate to admit it--but it does look like a dirty shot.

[ShowtimeRedux]

it really does look dirty, all bullshit aside, you can easily see the jerking upward elbow, and did you see the look on Sasha's face after he got up? He looked FUCKIN PISSED, like he was gonna kill Bowen. On the other end it looks like sasha is beelining it to Bowen until he realizes he is in the play. The reaction should be the real teller...

[Allanon]

Wow, I missed that during the game.

That could have been a flop but regardless, if the NBA gets a wind of that one, that's probably a suspension. I don't want to see no suspensions, but the NBA will probably hand one out if it's investigated.

[David Wooderson]

It's sad that this great basketball league has diminished to the point where guys get paid millions of dollars to play a contact sport, then tattle to the league when one of their players gets a hard hit, intentional or otherwise.

[cly2tw]

Bowen could have his elbow the way he gave to Amare's ribs in their last regular season game. But it could also be a Sasha flop. Evidence is not clear enough for either case. But both players have a reputation for either flopping or playing dirty.

[J.T.]

I won't post here for the rest of the series if he gets suspended for this. Seriously, if he had done that to Kobe, maybe the league would take a second look at it, but Sasha Vujacic is a nobody, and his no talent ass is not worth the league's time reviewing videotape of this non-foul.

[hsxvvd]

Vujacic = Beno in sooo many ways.

[hsxvvd]

Did anybody else catch the Elbow thrown at Thomas. It was much clearer than this, I think it was from Farmar or Fisher.

[der Kaiser]

Its the playoffs. There is no dirty play. If you get kicked in the natz, hip checked, whatever, you get up and return fire.


(Unless you are the suns in which case you take it like a red headed step child)

[ShowtimeRedux]

Did anybody else catch the Elbow thrown at Thomas. It was much clearer than this, I think it was from Farmar or Fisher.

I saw it, it was an elbow pushing thomas back because thomas had kneed him hard in the side on the screen, and farmar was frustrated. It was an elbow, but weak in comparison to a face shot from the back of the elbow.

[Allanon]

Did anybody else catch the Elbow thrown at Thomas. It was much clearer than this, I think it was from Farmar or Fisher.

It was Farmar at the top of the key, but I don't think it was an elbow but more of pushing off a screen.

[ShowtimeRedux]

It was Farmar at the top of the key, but I don't think it was an elbow but more of pushing off a screen.

he pushed with that elbow back because he couldn't get around the screen, not like a face shot...

[nomine]

Right, you all are complaining about a push off/slight elbow(at best) from a 6 foot guard on a 6"10 250+ lb forward. Give me a break.

Better quality video of "THE ELBOW" starring Bruce Bowen as the antagonist and Sasha Vujacic as the unlikely antihero who will avenge this act of cowardice in the next episode.

http://www.lakersmedia.com/?p=130

If Bowen doesn't get a suspension, Sasha just might murder him come next game... I think Spurs fans everywhere should be sending letters to Stern for Bowen's enrollment in the witness protection program.

DazedAndConfused you truly are a little bitch for making a mountain out of a mother fucking molehill here. Way to fail at life.

[nomine]

TBH lakers fans don't give a shit if the league suspends bowen. Hell, most of us realize that he's gotten away with way more in his career. The kicker, therefore, will be whether it lights a fire under any of the lakers' asses (particularly Sasha) once they see the videotape.

[stxspurs]

floppy long hair makes fouls look worse than they are

[Lakers999]

like ginobili, parker, udoka, bowen, horry, NEVER EVER EVER FLOPPED IN THE CLOSING MINUTES???

get real spurs fans

[DazedAndConfused]

I'm not really sure what the hell Bowen is even trying to do on that play. In the high def version you can see he isn't really throwing an elbow at Sasha, he's just kind of stiff-arming him straight across the neck. It's a really awkward and strange maneuver in slow-motion.

I know Bowen won't be suspended for this, but it would be sweet justice if he were.

[DazedAndConfused]

And I love how the mods have gotten Nazi now that the Spurs are losing.

[aka_USAPA]

If Sasha did the same thing to Manu, the Spurs fans won't call it a flop. They'll say Sasha is dirty.

[THE Black Mamba]

Bottom line:
Sasha = VICTORY
Bowen = defeat

[Dim Tuncan]

It's sad that this great basketball league has diminished to the point where guys get paid millions of dollars to play a contact sport, then tattle to the league when one of their players gets a hard hit, intentional or otherwise.

Did you think that when we sent a tape in on Kobe's "unnatural basketball act" on Manu and got him suspended? (which was much less egregious than Bowen's Elbow on Vujacic, I hate to say)

Some of the homers around here are just so blinded by their bias. Wish there were more Spurs fans like me.

[SPARKY]

Please, pink this guy.

:tu

His act is tired.

[O-Factor]

This certainly looked like an unnatural basketball act to me. If I'm LA I'm sending the tape in ASAP. Bruce should be suspended for that, no question about it. He straight threw an elbow at Sasha.

W1IwnBDHcxA

Pussy, thats a flop. You'll bitch about anything Spurs wont you, you jealous fuck.

Do you play like that on the court?

I bet you do. Like a bitch.

[BiZNicK]

Nice flop job

[THE Black Mamba]

Pussy, thats a flop. You'll bitch about anything Spurs wont you, you jealous fuck.

You need to see a shrink.

[sleepy]

I dislike Bowen as much as any Laker fan, but that wasn't even a foul, much less an elbow to the head. Bad acting by Sasha. Looks like he hurt his shoulder when he fell. With that look on his face, I thought he was going to go murder someone on the other end. :lol

[SPARKY]

And I love how the mods have gotten Nazi now that the Spurs are losing.

Nah, the mods have become so because you've become retarded.

[O-Factor]

And I love how the mods have gotten Nazi now that the Spurs are losing.

Why? Because you and your troll kind are being lame and tying to and trash threads or starting trash threads aswell? It makes it hard to sift through to find the threads with REAL basketball debate. But whatever, were so use to trolls its boring.

Now please, go blow Bynum some more some where.

[JamStone]

I don't think it's a flop, but I don't think it's dirty on Bowen's part either.

It makes no little sense for Vujacic to flop 20+ feet away from the basketball to try to draw a foul.

But, it's not even a foul either. Hard contact, physical play. It's the playoffs. Don't be a pussy.

[THE Black Mamba]

Now please, go blow Bynum some more some where.

Seriously.........get help soon.

[ATRAIN]

LMAO at Ofactor changing the name when quoting "GayandConfused " hahahah

[LakerMagic]

Eh, Its playoff basketball. Play on guys.

[jack sommerset]

Honestly. NBA fans seldom talked about the flop until Mangoo entered the league. I think some Spew fans are grasping at straws when they accuse other teams of flopping.

I say no flop.

If its a obvious flop refs should call technical fouls. Sportsmanship.

[rasho8]

Watch the high def one, he flops like a bitch pansy. He took an elbow in the shoulder coming across Bowens body (who btw just stands there and keeps his arm straight, doesnt 'throw' any elbows) and flings his face back like he got bitch slapped by Duncan.

Flopping lakers are funny.

[trjons]

Bowen was asked to do that cheapshot by Manu because Sasha was frustrating the crap out of him.

[~kingflopper~]

Spurs fans....talking about flopping....what has the world come to?

[Robinzine]

At least Steve Nash wins the flopping championship! :smokin
No way, Manu wins the "Vlade Divac" flopping title hands down.

[Los Spurs]

That video shows even more why it shouldn't be a suspension.

[Medvedenko]

Sasha over exagerates contact a lot. If he got elbowed than too bad, because the way he plays, he has it coming.

[brettn]

Please, sasha's elbow to Thomas' ribs was MUCH more blatant than this garbage. He straight up elbowed Thomas in the ribs because he couldn't get around a screen. I have this distinct feeling that vujacic will come earn a place as one of the most hated players among Spurs fans before this series is over. And it's not because he's good either. Just a little bitch.

[Discoflux]

Anyone defending Bowen does it out of loyalty and not based on his dirty actions such as this one. Was it a dirty play? Yes. Does he do this stuff all the time? Yes, frequently. As a non-Spurs fan I hate it. Its a sign of weakness to play dirty. It reflects poorly on your whole organization. But because they feel like dirty play gives them an edge they continue to do it.

Does Sasha flop a lot? Yes, frequently. And that makes us look bad imo. No place for flopping in the league. I wish our guys would get on him to stop. I think its a carryover from Euro style.

[KB_MVP]

HE DID ELBOW HIM BUT SAHSA ALSO FLOPPED, Dont suspend him though... If we beat you guys I want to beat you guys at full strength.

Yeah right. :rolleyes Spurs would be happy to have a shooter like Sasha of the bench. Except he's a primadona so he wouldn't fit.

[SPARKY]

No kidding.

[Medvedenko]

A flop is a flop....

[shelshor]

Lol, Vujacic should drink more milk if he gets hurt by his own flops. Look at him hold his shoulder. Aww, what's the matter Sasha? Want me to kiss it and make it all better?

Didn't Sasha get up holding his shoulder at least 3 or 4 times?
Guess it's a ready-made excuse when the pedophile-looking scrub starts building brick outhouses

[m33p0]

oh, look. he even showed his "angry" face. aw....

[dmac]

And the Suns have a reputation for sucking...

:downspin:

[Fillmoe]

As much as I think Bowen is a dirty player, the play was clean. The only reason he came up holding his shoulder is because he fell down directly on it without any support to comfort the fall.

[Fillmoe]

By the way that face he makes is funny as fuck..

His "no talent ass" shut down Genobili last night - ahh the irony (floppers revenge of another flopper)

[Bob Lanier]

Vujacic is a better defensive player than Bruce Bowen. He's also more of a flopper. You take the bad with the good.

[Discoflux]

I can't believe any spurs fan would start a thread concerning a. flopping b. dirty play or c. arrogant fans without recognizing the hypocrisy.

Sasha (first of all that's a girls name! In fact I used to know a hot girl named Sasha and she was kinda tall I wonder what happened to her she just disappeared one day) was grabbing Bruce's arm and playing it up nicely a pretty good actor I would say.

[SpurAddict561]

hahaha so THAT was the play he got up looking like he just got his lunch money stolen

Still, Chris Paul Barrel Roll flop > Sasha Flop

[Discoflux]

Sasha is one of the reasons we are underestimated.
He is our # 4 or #5 Scoring option and hes the 8th best 3pt shooter in the NBA. That's not a bad 5th option to have. He's the best combo of shooting and defense behind Steve Nash and Richard Hamilton.

[Pero]

Steve Nash and defense should not be in the same sentence. :lol

No, they said HE gave himself it, and called himself that.

No one would give a scrub-ass roleplayer that nickname. Plus, Sasha hasn't proven himself to have any notable bball IQ.

I remember some Laker fan in the NBA forum saying how one commentator called him that for some reason I can't remember now and it sticked with him. I think it was Medvedenko. Or Allanon.

You're correct. Stu Lantz gave him that nickname, but unfortunately Doug Collins and Marv Albert keep perpetrating the lie that he gave it to himself. Kobe was actually interviewed today and specifically told the reporters that Sasha did not give himself the nickname and for them to stop repeating that.

It just goes to show that any lie can be perceived as the truth if repeated enough.

[Pero]

Not either of those, but here you go:
http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88325&highlight=machine


Lakers commentator Joel Myers nicknamed him that and it just caught on.



Ye, Joel said he looks like the rebounding machine when he got 3 or 4 difficult rebounds in a row a couple of weeks back, then he hit a couple of 3s, so he just called him the machine.

So much for naming himself. :rolleyes

I don't think any team with Ginobili can criticize other teams regarding flopping.

(1) Everyone dogging The Machine would probably have curled up in the fetal position and cried like the little faggot bitch they are, had they been the recipient of that elbow

(2) I like the kid's game, and think that he'd fit really well in our system. I'd like to see if Buford can sign him this offseason.

(3) Per my Laker fan friends in LA, Stu Lantz was the one who nicknamed him. He did not apply that name to himself, in spite of the lies of Doug Collins and Marv Albert.
