The Flop: Frame by Frame

[Kori Ellis]

If Gino starts floppin like this, then he's going to get that reputation and it'll take away from the real fouls he might get.

That's what I'm worried is already starting to happen. I think it's okay when Manu gets hit to exaggerate a little bit. And some flops are good (Bowen does it too) but Manu's walking a fine line of crying wolf.

Oh, I'm sorry, knocked the out. It's still bull .

how so? my opinion is just an opinion like everyone else. why do i get chastised for stating my opinion?

[Nikos]

Manu has flopped much worse before, to say otherwise is re ed.

To me it looked like Amare did get frustrated and pushed off Manu, and my initial reaction was Manu exaggerated it, but DID get pushed.

Oh well. I don't see how its any worse than when he fell on his back without Bucker nailing that elbow in Game 3?

Is it because the team ended up losing?

1.bad camera angle
Amamre could of step on him ar elbowed him - here you can't tell

2.all is well when you have momentum on your side

[baseline bum]

That was a ridiculous flop... but so was Rob's in Phoenix and he got the T called. If you're not cheating, you're not trying.

Ahhh, the Zapruder film.

"Back, and to his left. Back...and to his left. Back.......and to his left."

Alright genius...Give me the lower half now. Since your all of sudden a KINESIOLOGY EXPERT. Tell us oh great video man...what is Amare doing with his right leg as he steps back? What is happening to his right hip-which Manu is connected. You can say Manu tried to accentuate the hit. I'll agree. But since you're all of sudden happy with your frame-by-frame...can you show us the whole picture. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOWER HALF.

Torso moves forward, stepback...hip-check....guy gets tossed.
You need a comparison?

Where does the torso go here? Forward. Where does the hip go? Back.
If Stoudamire holds on to Manu...he is flipped. Manu did half the work by just holding on. Now since he lets go...hip goes back...torso goes forward...Manu falls back. Didn't say that he didn't accentuate. I ask you.. where is the lower half video.
