They called the foul on him anyway, so why is that clip indicative of anything?

He got hit on the nose. But it didn't merit the way he fell down like he had just been hit a bulldoser.

Well he's argentine, where futbol is the main sport. In futbol flopping is part of the game, and the Argentines are experts at it, it's in his blood. But everyone else does it too.

That fucking commentator shouldn't have said those comments though, there's alot of floppers in the league from Iverson to Miller. Plus nobody receives more real punishment than Manu, that is obvious.

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

Probably a combination of getting hit and some overacting. I think the problem is that Manu is developing a reputation as a bit of a flopper, and (whether it was or not) that LOOKED like a flop.

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

Letsee...Manu gets whacked in the face...and we're all complaining about him "flopping."

What am I missing here?

That he made the hit in the face that bloodied him, look worse than a hit in the face?

:bang

IMHO Antonio clearly clocked him in the mouth...and rang his bell...It effectively took him out of his game for the rest of the night...

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

But the sad part is manu got the foul call on him....yeah he fouled him with his nose....of course, it is a rather large nose, so there is some merit there. :)

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

The foul wasn't for the reaction to getting hit, it was for wrapping his arm around James when he was being screened.

Get the fuck out of here, you fucking racist SOB.

Anybody have a screen capture showing if Daniels' arm did or didn't make contact?

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

I don't have a screen capture but I switched back and forth between KENS and ESPN for all the camera angles...KENS had a very good angle..I'm not saying it was malicious but Antonio clearly popped him right in the teeth with his forearm...I think it stunned him and he had a short semi-blackout...anyone that has ever gotten clocked in the jaw area will know what I am talking about...thus the "badly timed flop" according to ESPN...fuck those guys...

I saw FUCKING BLOOD, so unless your saying he bit himself this is a moot point!

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

And of course there was Danny Fortson, Reggie Evans and Jerome James, who does nothing but flop. What about Ray Allen suddenly having an inner ear infection, seems to have a lot of trouble balancing.
Point is, everybody flops (if you call an exaggeration of a call a flop), singling out Manu is just the flavour of the week.

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

KENS tv re-ran it a coupla times...very obvious what happened. Manu got hit. I dunno what all the controversy is about.

the problem is that only people in SA got to see that clip...everywhere else in the country they were watching it on ESPN which completely missed the hit...and then the commentators made fun of Manu for his "bad acting on the flop"...Manu came damn close to getting knocked out on the play...fuck em...

Re: Am I the only one that thought Manu got hit?

I admit when the play first happened, I thought Manu flopped. And I thought that maybe he hit his mouth on the floor during his post-flop act.

On the replay, it did look like he actually got hit though.
