Okay. His job may not to solely do that but he gets under players skins like no other. I am not challenging his work ethic hes done great jobs against great players (Kobe etc) I said originally that his dirty play was an X-Factor because our star player CP3 has a temper. So does DWest and TC. These guys can get hot from time to time.

Im well aware that Man flops alot but doesnt do it every play. He can draw contact with the best of them. Like Barkley said he's the white(i know hes not) Allen Iverson in that aspect. They have players of his build that dont flop as often though however. He is somewhat durable he does have an ironmans at ude to the game. But I dont know if he would hurt himself as much if he didnt try to get contact like that. I'd love to see Duncan to get in foul trouble. Chandler and West are not floppers however.

You don't get as far as Bruce Bowen has gotten by just being a dirty player. He's chippy, undoubtedly, but he's also a premier perimeter defender and much of the talk of Bowen's chippiness around the league emanates from the fact that perimeter guys don't like being bodied up and harassed the way that Bowen does it -- and the way he does it without fouling. If he can bury the corner 3 in this series, he'll break your heart, too.

Opposing fans don't realize how much contact Ginobili authentically draws and how officials have stopped calling legitimate contact in certain situations because it's Ginobili. With all of the negative things that opposing fans think of him, he's the epitome of a guy who you'd absolutely love if he was on your team. Nothing fazes Ginobili -- no situation is too big and no player is too menacing to stop him from doing what he does. He's aggravating to opposing fans, I'm sure, because he's also one of those guys who will just find a way to beat you. If he's not scoring, he's playing defense; if he's not getting to the rim, he's draining 3's. Fans around the league hate the guy, but he's legitimately among the 20 or so best players in this league right now, even if that's not a fact that's pervasively known. And he tends to be at his best come playoff time.

4-0 in the NBA Finals>0-2 in the NBA Finals

[King Ju I]

I love it! The "us" and "you" has already started.

If this were a game of just starters, maybe, but you didn't take into account the bench and I will take the Spurs bench and their coach in those respective matchups. Then again, the Spurs are old and can't possibly beat a younger team, can they?

If you wanna talk about the Bench yes we have had problems with our bench during the year. I know that the Spurs have Udoka, a good under rated player, the 3 point specialist in Barry and Horry, a servicable back up pg in Vaughn, and a great but slow defender in Thomas.

On our side we have Bonzi Wells, im more than sure you guys already know him. Jannero Pargo who can lite it up. Armstrong who......lets just say hes good at fouling and rebounding. And Julian Wright extremely athletic, quick hands and can jump out of the house.

Pop is a great coach. He got the best of Byron in the Finals years ago. But this is a different team. He has a much better relationship with Paul then he does with Kidd. Dont sleep on Byron

Great series Ill say it again Hornets in 7

Great series indeed, I say Spurs in 6.

[RandomGuy]

I didnt come here to talk to trash or be an attention . just so we're clear.

Don't let 'em get to ya.

There are plenty of decent Spurs fans who don't talk too much smack.

Keep in mind that this place attracts its share of trolls though. People here kinda get a bit defensive at times.

Let me ask you a question:

You're a smart basketball player, and you know your opponent's tendencies. You slide over and get in perfect position to draw a charge, as your opponent flies toward you at full speed. Should you:
A. Stand there and resist the impact with all your might, take the extra punishment, and risk injury to you or the other player. Or,
B. Take the impact of the charge, but add a little body movement just to make sure you get the whistle you deserve
C. As the impact occurs, roll with it like a stunt man, knowing that there was still enough contact to get the charge call

If you chose B or C, does that make you a flopper? Sometimes a sales job is necessary to get a call that you deserve.

Manu draws a LOT of legitimate charge calls, and he pays the price for it physically. As you watch the series, just be fair-minded enough not to fall into the trap of buying into any urban myth. When I watch, I'm not afraid to say "Manu flopped". But I get tired of hearing it when he has made a really heads up play.

But be careful. If you watch the games with an open mind, you might be tempted to come back from the Dark Side and become a Spurs fan again.

4-0 in the NBA Finals>0-2 in the NBA Finals

[RandomGuy]

I think this is closer to accurate. But as long as they're not total jackasses, I think we should cut the Hornets trolls a little slack. They're playoff virgins.

Please note that I called them "jackasses" and not the more inflammatory "jack asses". I certainly mean no disrespect to any Jacks out there.

"Playoff virgins"

[HornetsDynasty]

Hornets will win this series. The Spurs can't do anything except shoot some shots.

[GinobiliLooms]

in regards to flopping--selling fouls has been part of basketball for a very, very long time. Its only become known as a "flop" in recent years.

Go mono.

If the spurs shoot the shots they're supposed to shoot there will be no surprises, the Spurs will win. If the hornets win it will be a fluke.

I'll be here giving my intelligent takes..

Go Hornets!

Being an Ex-Spurs fan, Im more than aware that this is an intelligent and great team. Theres a reason why you guys have won 4 in 9 years. I just dont want a AK-47ish flop call to happen at the wrong time or at a time that will severly cost us. I give Manu alot more respect than I do Dirk because Dirk is 7 ft tall and tries to pull that .

No way jose on coming back to the Spurs, Ill watch with respect but they are a a division foe and a team we have to overcome to get to the throne.
