On three separate forums are calling the Spurs floppers saying that Manu and Tony flop every time they go into the paint. Now I can be somewhat objective here but what game were they watching? I didn't see anything close. They are also saying that they got robbed and that they have played better than us all three games and should be up 3-0. :lmao
:lol links?
Game 1: Refs gave 2 straight tic tac fouls in the 2OT to GSW, but Manu saved the Spurs.
Game 2: Bogut got away with 15~ fouls.
Game 3: GSW got 5-7 ridiculous calls, some very suspicious offensive fouls called on Manu/Timmy and Tony was hammered multiple times.
Well tell them they set so many illegal screens all game long that it's unbelievable! Even announcers mentioned it!
Eh, they're not as delusional as Lakersground so give them some slack.
Eh, there are threads here with people asking for more minutes for Blair and McGrady. Fans are just fans.

don't forget the multiple "sticking your azz out on the picks" moves bogut and others are so good at, but the refs won't call it.Quote:

It's funny. I'm not bitching about it. No on said anything about going to those forums instead of this one. I just like to see the other point of view.
holy fuck their "forum" is unreadable
That wasnt the only one out there, there are a few as well as their espn forum. Google them.
Yeah that forum is a fucking mess.
Stay classy Spurs fans :smokin
Most of Manus flops are morally defensible for me. Genuine fouls, but the refs would probably miss them if he didn't hit the deck.
What was up with Klay Thompson shoving Splitter? Even the commentators made mention that Klay got away with it.Quote:

Hubie even whiffed on the replay. Of course, he's like 90, and can be expected to forget about things that didn't exist back in the day like the no-charge circle.Quote:

Hubie is a great commentator and basketball mind I think. That said I also believe he harbors a little animosity from 2004. It seems mostly subconscious. Plus he is oldQuote:

this is why i wish the mods would open up registration, so that we could hear this kind of talk directly from warriors fan
he was a spurs commentator before he coached the grizzliesQuote:

Yeah I noticed that as well and also noticed that the announcers didn't say a thing about it, but when Neal ( I think Neal, I forget exactly which Spur it was) tried to take a charge in the second half and less than 2 inches of his heel was on the restricted area line they were so quick to say how the call was right.Quote:

There was also that 'elbow' that Duncan caught the defender who didn't give him an inch, call. Anyone else remember the 10 times a game Howard would get away with intentional elbows without a call?
Well, they are partially right. In reality, they probably should have been up 2-0. But last night they got beat.
Also, anybody complaining about Bogut calls/no calls is fucking delusional, tbh:lol..
Bogut fouls and commits illegally screens on virtually every other play, tbh..he should be fouling out every game..he's been manhandling Tim, like Mark Jackson's obese wife manhandles a BBQ steakhouse, tbh..
Yeah! Bump this question. I was watching with the sound down. That guy was ALL the way in the half circle, and may have been moving. No big deal though...we won.Quote:

Fixed version would be: Manu's knee was the first part to connect with a secondary defender who was not in legal defensive position.Quote:

Which completely ignores:
1) GSW's previous shooting levels in Game 1 & 2 were not sustainable. Klay Thompson may well prove to be the second fiddle in what will become the "best shooting backcourt of all time"...and I'll still bet a large sum of money that he NEVER shoots 88% on 9+ 3s in a single playoff half again in his entire career. Many of those coming with a hand in the face.
2) Virtually every GSW rotation player is playing above their regular season level. Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green - especially. That's going to come back to earth at some point, hopefully for the rest of this series. If they shot at that level for the entire postseason, they're winning the title (they won't).
3) Parker gave GSW something close to his "best shot." Green on the defensive end as well. Maybe lump Boris' first half into that. But otherwise, who else could we say that about? Duncan was solid, but he's still capable of dominating inside - especially when guarded by anybody but Bogut. Manu had moments, but is still way off his game. Leonard's offense has been erratic - prior to that corner 3, all of his points are coming around the rim (and that's sustainable if GSW allows it to be). Green's going to have a game where he rolls off 5 or 6 treys at some point here. But then Tiago/Bonner/Neal have shat themselves.
Warriors definitely didn't play better in game 3. Whoever said that shit was high. Spurs practically led wire to wire and didn't get more calls than GS did.
Refs definitely didn't fuck them either. Game 1 Spurs maybe got 55% favorable calls late in the game (shockingly, and tbh was the first time I've seen that in years), but it was mostly them being allowed to play physical (with the body, not hacks) without getting whistled, not getting bs whistles.
In the end, the Warriors pretty much played their best game of the season in game 1, Spurs played one of their worst in game 2 where Thompson had the best game of his career. Game 3 was just a normal, everyday game for both teams imo, and the Spurs looked better as they should. Spurs didn't play great, but the Warriors weren't hitting contested drifters and 30 foot threes all night at a 75% rate again.
That's how I feel about it too. Manu doesn't flop on non contact or brush contact, he only flops on medium or more contact. Tbh, I have never minded those flops. The only flops I don't like are when guys flop hard when an elbow whizzes by but doens't touch them, or when someone barely gets brushed and they jump back and go flying into the stands and shit on like 5-10% power being put on them.Quote:
