    I never blamed Manu.

    He flops on a breeze going by sometimes. I recall the incident in the WCF last year.

    But yes, most of the time, there is contact. I won't however say they are fouls, because I'm of the mindset that unless the contact severely hinders or affects the shot or defensive positioning, that it's incidental and should not be deemed a foul.

    I, for the large part, like physical players. Not thuggery, but good hard, Detroit Pistons style ball. Especially this year with their offense throwning in 100+ per game.

    Nothing wrong with a bump or a push in my book.

    Nothing wrong with making sure refs see those bumps or pushes either

    great, because if I'm bothering you half as much as your comments bothered me, you're getting the point. Fine I'll let you be.

    When they aren't fouls half the time, yeah... I think it's silly. It's smart and I give him credit for the skill, but it's still flopping.

    The game has gotten way to watered down with whistles.

    Basketball should have some physical play involved.

    the spurs are a dirty team. Don't worry. I think the suns will be able to beat other teams that don't flop as much. Manu irritates me also.

    I am not about to claim for a second that Manu injures anyone on purpose because I think Ginobili is a decent dude and a of a basketball player.

    However he does endanger other players sometimes with his antics as proven last night.

    Bell stuck him arm out there but there is no way Bell's extended arm or elbow threw Manu to the floor. He did that to himself and injured someone in the process.

    The loss of the game is not as painful as the loss of Barbosa.

    Freaking flopper, I am still pissed.


    As for the game I am proud of how the Suns played. The story of the season continues though. The Suns have trouble closing out good teams.

    I don't get it, first you people complain about the game not being physical enough, and then you're scared Ginobili is going to fall on someone?? Hey genius, IT WAS AN ACCIDENTE!! Get it?? Do you really think that if Manu stopped exaggerating calls no Suns player will ever get injured again sweetheart?

    Give it a rest! You lost, and now because of an accident you're prime to lose some more, and you're bitter about it. GO VENT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

    You people?! Please show me where I said anything of the sort.

    I get it that it was an accident that he fell on Barbosa. It wasn't an accident that he fell. Gilobili threw himself to the floor, again.

    I am not bitter, I am pissed that Manu injured one of our players with his stupid flopping. If one of our players had flopped himself onto the floor and hurt one of your players by accident you would be pissed too.

    As for giving it a rest, I will now if you will.

    Simply amazing. Bell extends his arm and pops Manu as the first action of the play. That fact is not in question. Manu then falls into Barbosa when he goes down from the contact from Bell, and perhaps maybe he exagerates the contact. And you equate that into Manu's actions endangering other players. What a laugh.

    Some Suns fans have reached the level of Sonic fans crying about Manu roughing up James and Fortson on his way to the hole.

    IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!! Let it go! Manu's flopping is beside the point. Flopping is not a crime, and just because it happened to injure one of your players by accident, does not make it one! You're not angry because Manu flopped, you're angry because one of your players got injured in an accident, and you can find no other way of venting than to rag on Manu who was doing a perfectly legal thing!

    I don't see where one precludes the other.


    Manu threw himself to the ground on contact from Bell and injured Barbosa.

    His action was intentional the result was accidental.



    and perhaps maybe he exagerates the contact.
    That is a laugh. Manu isn't that weak that he is thrown to the floor by an arm extended.

    Perhaps maybe he exaggerated.

    I never implied intent to injure.

    I think his actions are dangerous, not malicious.

    To all the mindnumbingly ignorant Spurs fans who allow their own bias to navigate their opinions, please, READ the following.

    ...Raja elbowed Manu, who attempted to draw a foul by exaggerating the contact and flopping. No, he didn't intentionally try to hurt Barbosa and Barbosa never said he did. Only that his flop was on purpose.

    The cause was intentional, the effect an accident.
    Exactly.
    This is a Suns fans account that was claimed to be exactly right from your fearless unbiased leader.

    Get over yourselves.
