ginobili wasn't even the floppiest player last night. paul millsap was.
Tell me that Boozer didn't get a lot of body on TD down low on that block of his. He damn near put Timmy in the upper seats. No call.

He got to the ball first, however, and naturally the bodies are going to collide there. I'd say it was a great block by Boozer on that play, IMO.
Derek Fisher and Divac are kings of flop, Manu has nothing on them, and the Jazz have nothing to talk about, remember Karl Malone and John Stockton? They were as dirty as they come and could sell a flop better than anyone.
The Spurs take what the refs will give them just like every other champion.
I know, and all this time im thinking, jesus am i the only person that didnt notice Boozer ing body slammed duncan on that block?
Welcome to those new to the game known as basketball. Boozer got to the ball first. Clean block.
Manu being accused of flopping! No way he will never do that.
Hate to say it, but it looked like all ball to me.
That was all ball. Naturally when two heavyweights connect with force like that there will be some body contact afterwards but that was not a foul. It was a nice block though, but sad to see TD get dominated thought
Verajao by far is the worst flopper more so then Manu.
Every team flops Manu just does it better than most people.
All driving fouls committed on Ginobili were called way before he was able to "flop." It's just another excuse from another pretender NBA team. It's getting old!
"Flop" is becoming the single worst buzz word of this playoffs, and it's really annoying. People are confusing two actions here:
1-"Selling" a foul: this is when you really do get fouled, but you just add some extra emphasis by falling down or flying out of bounds. I would not call that a flop. It is perfectly fine, in fact every coach will tell a player to do this. Just 'helps' the ref.
2-Pretending a foul has happened when there really wasn't one, either because no contact occurred (rare) or because only incidental contact occurred that really wasn't a foul (very common). This IS a flop, IMO. Most of Manu's so-called flops are category 1, and he just rocks, so everyone else can suck it.
I have even heard some people (morons) confuse picking up crafty fouls away from the action "flopping." Manu is brilliant at this--he had another great one last night against Millsap--and this is one of the reasons I love his game. But so few other players in the league do this that most average fans (morons) are confused by it. Even some commentators (huge morons) rail against it, but the fact is it's a basic part of the game. Sliding over in front of some guy who's not paying attention, even when he doesn't have the ball, so he can flatten you IS a legitimate way to pick up a charge. Deal with it. I think people don't like it when Manu does it become no one on THEIR team is good and tough enough to do it, so they whine. And piss. And . But, screw them. He's a god.
As for last night, Manu was getting hammered going to the hoop, and Derek er deliberately instigated Manu by going over and bumping Manu as he was going up court. Now, it's true, Manu threw an elbow at his face on the play before that, which is why er got mad, but hey, the refs didn't see it, so Utah can suck it.
No one is superior to Manu in the old art of flopping, well the Divac was the Zen Master, but since then Manu has no comparisson
Deron Williams calling Manu a flopper when his backcourt mate is the biggest flopper in recent memory.
