I don't mind that he flops... he is just really really really bad at it....
he needs to work on his form in the offseason.
I was unaware that you were a lady . . .

I was thinking the exact thing last night.
I don't know where all this flopping came from CP3. During the regular season it was very rare for him to pull the flopping non-sense. This series it's like he can't stand for more than 24 seconds without falling down. And I agree with you guys he's really really bad at it. At least when Manu does it, it seems plausible, when Paul does it it's a full second or two after the contact then he sends himself flying across the floor, he needs to knock it off.
I agree about him being a good guy. And maybe it has nothing to do with his nuts, but every time he makes a play you'd think he just laid a golden egg the way people react!
my question is WHY? Why isn't the MEDIA CALLING NOT CALLINg OUT CP3 for those FLOPS like they do GINOBILI?
that dead ball stuff is annoying!!!!!!!!
PLAY ! PLAY like your momma taught ya!
He's young. He has such a bright future ahead of him, he'll knock of the flopping because he doesn't need it.
What you guys didn't see was our series against the Mavs. You have to understand we just played a whole series of Dirk falling to the ground and getting a call everytime whether he was touched or not. He did the same thing when Tyson touches him and he flies three rows into the crowd. Or sub 6 foot CP3 pushes 7 foot Dirk and it looks like a grenade went off.
Unfortunately, I think Chris saw that and figured it could help us win. He is not good at it, but do realize he is the smallest guy on the court, and is generally getting beat up all over, and he takes it. The media is on Chris Paul for good reason. He has forced it with his play.
Honestly, the fall from Oberto and the fall from Bowen both made me cringe like, "what the are you doing". But I think in both instances he got shoulder blocked after the play, and instead of getting a Tech., he tried to embelish. I'm just glad he's keeping his cool for the Hornets sake.
Every international player, and Iverson flop all the time. If CP3 can get better at it, it can make a big difference in a game, unfortunately. They need to start calling T's on the guys that try it.
so much homerish in this thread.
Come on, you watched the game though right? The kid is a freak. He has played 8 playoff games in his career to this point, all this year, and last night was almost his 4th 30+ point, 10+ assist game. No one has ever done that. He just turned 23 years old, and he's first team all NBA, the best PG in the world. I can understand playing against him and being sick of the media glory, but you are watching something special right now, enjoy it.
Remember too, the Hornets have probably been the most disrespected team in the league this season. Let's not act like the media has been all over us all season, even up 2-0, hardly anyone thinks the Hornets were going to beat the Spurs. I think everything Chris Paul gets now is 100% justified.
I think that was in reference to Manu, not CP.
He did answer the question at halftime. Something about it happening so fast he didn't see what happened. Or it happened so quickly by the time he looked it was over. One of those, I can't remember.
I do hate his flopping (I hate all exaggerated flopping even from Manu or Horry or whoever).
Does the term "Golden Boy" ring a bell?
Yeah, that one was taking it a bit far, I thought.
And the foul on Bruce when it really was on Peja. Did you see how Peja got a big smile on his face on that one. Knew he had just gotten away with one.
Thanks for the info. Spur fans have never seen that before.
CP3 is too much of a quality player to be pulling off them flopps . Hes a of a shooter but a crappy flopper . His Poor flopping is going to hurt his reputation .
Im glad the spurs won this game but on the other hand I didnt see that defense from the hornets like in game 1 and 2 . If the spurs win this next game then its a whole new ball game .
I hate the flopping, but it's been part of a very effective at ude that the Hornets have brought to this series. It reminds me a lot of the Jazz in the 90's. They play crafty and y, and in the first two games they had the Spurs feeling (and playing) like victims who were being treated unfairly. It took away their focus, but they regained it last night.
I don't know why people would think Manu can't speak properly. Yes he has an accent, but he speaks... I don't know if the phrase is "deliberately" but he chooses his words and you can tell when he says something it's not just empty words and filler. Plus he enunciates. His accent doesn't blur his words.Now Tony, while I can understand him, his accent is thicker.
Consider a few hispanic baseball players. The ones I've heard have that thick accent that turns "excuse" into "ehcyuu". Manu doesn't do that.
It doesn't even have to be a half-time winded interview... there are many players in every sport where they're American but speak like 3rd-grade dropouts and slur their words.
I know you have, all I'm saying is that CP3 hasn't flopped in 3 seasons in the NBA. All of a sudden, we play the biggest girl in the NBA, and CP3 seems to be trying to steal a page from a bad playbook. Just throwing it out there, seeing if it sticks.

I think Manu speaks English just fine.no i meant manu cant speak a proper sentence. cause his english is so bad
That was an Olympic calibre flop. He even got a 10 from the Argentinian judge.
Me neither. Paul brings it to a whole 'nother level. What the was that one when he got bumped in the lane and he spun off like he got kicked in the face by Bruce Lee?
Spurs fans are not en led to cry about flopping. they can joke about it but that's about it. We have Manu Ginobili in our team.
But in this series, CP3 takes the flopping trophy unanimously
