Spurs: Manu on new flopping rules

[ambchang]

He could be specific by suing 70% of your last, say, 100 posts were Kobe excuse making posts. Is that specific enough?

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

So in this thread, where I have not talked about Kobe, your main arguments against mine is that I talked about Kobe in 70% of the posts in other threads?

What I do find is that over the last few days, 100% of my post have you commenting on them, do you agree that a normal person would find that obsessive and unhealthy?

You talking about degrees of losing? Which is just odd, what was I trying to win? I really can't win because I am not trying to win anything, unless you are trying to lose something, and I just somehow win by default.

Do you think he knows who you are? Wait, you know anyone on this board?

Yes, I know exactly who you are. You're the guy who makes excuses and has whined about Kobe, the officiating, and Stern since you've been on this board. It's easy to spot you too, since you've had the same David Robinson avatar for the 3 years I've been laughing at your posts. You are a stupid human being, and weak-minded individual with a weak cons ution. For 3 years you've been doing nothing but complaining, but like I said--I know you and I know why you do it:

1. You hate Kobe and the Lakers--and thus have a massive inferiority complex when it comes to them--because they overshadowed your team's only period of relevancy (5>4).
2. You call Kobe a coat-tailer b/c you grew up watching the most egregious coat-tailer of all-time in David Robinson--a born loser who is best known for getting his ass penetrated repeatedly by Hakeem on the biggest stage of D-Rob's career. He thought Jesus would save him from being a mentally weak leader who habitually underperformed in the playoffs, but it wasn't so.
3. The irony of Spurfan saying Kobe coat-tailed those 3 first les is beautiful, in that during the 2001 and 2002 playoff runs, Kobe face-raped your wittle Spurs like no other team's been destroyed before. In fact, has there ever been a player in Spurs playoff history that has inflicted more damage upon them than Kobe Bryant? Serious question...through the years I can't think of another single player who has repeatedly butt ed your franchise like he has. This is why you're an angry and bitter human being.

I can find a post of yours from 3 years ago and it will be chock full of anguish and Kobe/Laker hatred just like you have now. You haven't evolved or let the hate run its course.

Now, fast-forward to this week and you have become so weak-minded that you are now preemptively blaming the officials for a rule that you think will favor the Lakers Who behaves like that? Who perptually makes excuses in life for things that haven't even happened yet? Mentally weak people do. Perhaps this isn't your fault, though. The mentally weak genes were probably passed down to you, just like you'll pass them down to your son. Without eugenics, this can't be stopped, unfortunately.

He could be specific by suing 70% of your last, say, 100 posts were Kobe excuse making posts. Is that specific enough?

You are certainly welcome to try and find that 70%. If you can't, then I've once again proved you to be a liar (in addition to being mentally weak).

Lemme save you you're cookie-cutter comeback b/c you clearly have nothing else to offer but bitterness and jealousy: "Well you'll just follow me around, won't you!"

Yes, whenever we cross e-paths I will always let you know how mentally weak and bitter you sound. Laughing at re s like yourself--although cheap--is one of my favorite past times.

Flopping and fouling are two different things. There can be a foul by player A and a flop by player B and it's still a foul by player A and the refs should call the foul. What the flopping fines are trying to do is cut down on the exaggerated reactions inconsistent with the kinetic energy transferred to the other player by the contact, taking into account the player's size, position, and alignment/stability. The league feels this cheapens the game and turns off fans.

That said, there certainly are flops without contact, as Ginobili mentioned. Personally I think JJ Barea is the most guilty of this type of flop. Watch him in slo mo sometime, it's straight up pretending that he got hit. You'd think there was a sniper in the stands shooting rubber bullets at him every time he gets near another player.

I think these new fines will actually help the refs make better calls, because they won't feel they have to police flopping by no-calling fouls when flops occur.

I love how non-Laker fans still cry about officiating and swear the Lakers have all those advantages, yet they still continue to watch a league with a supposedly stacked deck. What simple, simple people

Having decent friends enhances the golden years imo.

That's adorable...u scros ride tandem bike too?

Yes, I know exactly who you are. You're the guy who makes excuses and has whined about Kobe, the officiating, and Stern since you've been on this board. It's easy to spot you too, since you've had the same David Robinson avatar for the 3 years I've been laughing at your posts. You are a stupid human being, and weak-minded individual with a weak cons ution.

LOL, this would have been laughable if it wasn’t for it being so pathetic. So instead of coming back with any solid response, you, once again, go on some sort of rant that couldn’t be substantiated or anything. What excuses have I made about Kobe, officiating, and Stern? Pulling a page out of your playbook, could you be more specific? Do you evaluate how you “know’ someone as whether you have read somebody’s post and draw conclusions on those.

The internet is a strange place, where posts do not necessarily reflect on an individual. There are posts that were written that will never be said in real life, and you should know, because you have just written a post you wouldn’t (I hope) say to another human being face to face.

And apparently, my stupid weak-mind with a weak cons ution has just snapped yours into pieces, prompting you into this hate-filled post that you just had. I guess what you just proved that is no matter now stupid and weak-minded a person is, there is always someone with a weaker mind and is more stupid.

For 3 years you've been doing nothing but complaining, but like I said--I know you and I know why you do it:

Just keep this thought for a second.

1. You hate Kobe and the Lakers--and thus have a massive inferiority complex when it comes to them--because they overshadowed your team's only period of relevancy (5>4).

I have posted multiple times, I think he was a fantastic shooting guard and basketball player. I don’t hate him. It’s tough to hate a person that I have never met, will never meet, do not know/care of my own existence, and does not have any impact on my life. Whether Kobe won 5 rings or not and whether the Spurs won 4 rings or not is inconsequential. I find only stupid, weak-minded people and those with a weak cons ution would base any self-worth of whether their favourite team/player have more championship rings than others.

It may be your way of evaluating life, but I hope and pray that most people do not subscribe to this juvenile outlook in life.

2. You call Kobe a coat-tailer b/c you grew up watching the most egregious coat-tailer of all-time in David Robinson--a born loser who is best known for getting his ass penetrated repeatedly by Hakeem on the biggest stage of D-Rob's career. He thought Jesus would save him from being a mentally weak leader who habitually underperformed in the playoffs, but it wasn't so.

That is just some sort of conclusion only a weak-minded, stupid person with a weak cons ution can come up with. Instead of acknowledging the fact that Kobe was a 2nd banana on fantastic early 00s Lakers teams, you go on the attack around things that are of no consequence. I mean, duh! Robinson was obviously a 2nd banana in the 99 and 03 ring. You can even argue Robinson was a 3rd banana on the 03 ring, no objections from me.

3. The irony of Spurfan saying Kobe coat-tailed those 3 first les is beautiful, in that during the 2001 and 2002 playoff runs, Kobe face-raped your wittle Spurs like no other team's been destroyed before. In fact, has there ever been a player in Spurs playoff history that has inflicted more damage upon them than Kobe Bryant? Serious question...through the years I can't think of another single player who has repeatedly butt ed your franchise like he has. This is why you're an angry and bitter human being.

By that rationale, shouldn’t I hate Shaq even more? Shaq, afterall drew the defense that allowed Kobe to roam free and destroyed the Spurs like he did, scoring over defensive juggernauts like Antonio Daniels and Derek Anderson, while Shaq had to contend with nobodies like Tim Duncan and Robinson in 01, and then scoring 26.1 ppg on 45.5% shooting vs. Bruce Bowen single teams.

I can find a post of yours from 3 years ago and it will be chock full of anguish and Kobe/Laker hatred just like you have now. You haven't evolved or let the hate run its course.

Then please find it.

Now, fast-forward to this week and you have become so weak-minded that you are now preemptively blaming the officials for a rule that you think will favor the Lakers Who behaves like that? Who perptually makes excuses in life for things that haven't even happened yet? Mentally weak people do. Perhaps this isn't your fault, though. The mentally weak genes were probably passed down to you, just like you'll pass them down to your son. Without eugenics, this can't be stopped, unfortunately.

You found me talking about the Lakers in this thread? Could you quote me? I don’t think I have actually mentioned anything Lakers related until you somehow brought in your favourite player in this discussion, and not anything specific to the Lakers until, well, this post as a direct response to your highly curious assertion that I am talking about the refs favouring the Lakers.

You are certainly welcome to try and find that 70%. If you can't, then I've once again proved you to be a liar (in addition to being mentally weak).

Hmmm ... let me break this down for you...

You said: Could you be more specific.
I said: He could be more specific ....
I am unsure whether you are familiar with the word “could”. Could by definition, is a hypothetical. It isn’t saying, "He should" say that to be more specific, or "you ARE this and that" to be specific. It has no bearing of how the rest of the sentence go, it’s a hypothetical, or a suggestion.

In this case, it wasn’t even a suggestion as to the rest of the sentence being factual, it’s a hypothetical in saying the rest of the sentence could potential satisfy your request of increase specificity. I am not exactly sure how this could “prove” me being a liar in any way, shape or form.

The second issue that came up in your assertion is, if I were to apply your same stringent standards onto yourself, would you be able to come up with 70% of my posts being Kobe-related? Perhaps? Maybe? Would this be an indication of yourself saying you are a liar?

Or to take it further, if I were to go through my post of the last 3 years, and found one single post, or even quote that does not have any element of complaint in it (reference your quote from above), would that mean that you are a liar? To top it off, it would be you calling yourself a liar, because you came up with this measuring stick.

Lemme save you you're cookie-cutter comeback b/c you clearly have nothing else to offer but bitterness and jealousy: "Well you'll just follow me around, won't you!"

I haven’t even thought of that in this response, because it has absolutely nothing to do with following me around now that we are engaged in some sort of semi-civilized debate., but thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, whenever we cross e-paths I will always let you know how mentally weak and bitter you sound. Laughing at re s like yourself--although cheap--is one of my favorite past times.

Wow, you are laughing at me over the internets? I am torn! This is the worst thing to happen to me because some guy I never met in my life is playing internet tough guy to bully me despite arguing him/her self to the ground.

Grow up, get a life, meet some real people, and actually get to know them for Pete’s sake. Don’t go around labelling people certain ways by reading some random posts you have on the internet.

I can’t say much about your real life, but your display on this one single post make me pity you.
