Phoenix writer complains (yawn...)

Oh, a Spurs fan whining about calls or no calls. I guess you can be added to the hypocrite list.

Here is the difference, you don't hear Manu crying to the press for 3 hrs about the no call. Shaq gets a few fouls and he and the Suns organization want to put the league on trial.

Nash and Raja flop just as much as Manu. Lame article, and lame responses by the Phoenix homers.

Kurt Thomas was actually the biggest flopper on the floor in Game 1.

Oberto probably annoys me the most because of that silly look he gets on his face whenever he gets called for a foul. Not only does he flop excessively, he's constantly hooking players, holding jerseys, and pushing them in the back as they go up for rebounds or alley-oops. Ginobli is not as bad, but his offensive flopping is downright ridiuclous sometimes. Just take the shot man, stop flailing your arms and body trying to draw contact on every play. Bowen I can deal with, he doesn't flop.

The players I have the most respect for are Duncan and Parker. They are straight old school. They play the game straight up and take tons of abuse each night.

Fine the player and team. I would love to see instant replays, maybe one replay per half. I don't care who says it or said it first, flopping is for pussys. Any player that does it is a pussy. Period.

"tehehehe, I pretended someone knocked me down,tehehehe"

Psst.. I was talking about the fans, not the players ya dummy.

Hey Shaq--

YOU FAT !!!

Maybe if you would have guarded the shooter who is ripping your fat ass to shreds instead of slobbering all over the media crying about "flopping" you'd be more successful.

Look at this photo--who the is Shaq guarding?!

No sherlock, i am pointing out to you the difference between these organizations as well. Suns seem to feel the more we publically the better off we will be. Spurs have class, Suns don't.

I believe the hip check at the end of Game 4 last year, was Nash flopping into the scoring table. No hip check does that much damage. If it did, you'd see a lot of dead NHL players.

Wow. No hip check does that much damage?

Now you are just being silly.

Yep, clearly when a 350 pound fat ass gets a head of steam coming and runs into you, you should be able to hold your ground. Thanks for the insight

If you think Thomas was trying to guard O'Neal straight up you are a moron. He was flopping like his life depended on it.

Guard a 7'1 350 PD big man and than let me know if you were flopping every time you hit the deck.

**T Park** · 04-22-2008

Well the Lakers have Fisher Radmonovic Gasol and others, so a Laker fan WOULD know flopping.

**T Park** · 04-22-2008

Ignore him, dumb and dumber has proven what a moron loser he is.

So best just to ignore short bus.

Nash is good at drawing offensive fouls. I'd say 35 of his 37 offensive fouls were legit. Bell on the other hand is a flopper.

I think Nash just likes getting teabagged by bigger players driving in the lane.

**DazedAndConfused** · 04-22-2008

That's my point, if KT tried to guard O'Neal straight up he'd get owned. His only recourse is to flop, I never said it was a bad thing.

**ManuTim_best of Fwiendz** · 04-22-2008

That article is such bull ,

The grief about is overblown, and its all just a bunch of sore-loser . Fans of losing teams (and loser teams) complain about it the most, because they have to make excuses for why they can't beat the other team.

Steve Kerr makes the stupidest comments. He doesn't even know what he's talking about. "Soccer culture" wtf? Stereotypes and assumptions.
