at pistons fans trying to get in their complaints now just in case Manu starts to own them in the Finals.

Whaddya mean, "just in case?"

There is a difference between drawing a foul and flopping. The Spurs legitimately drew all those fouls in the fourth by taking it to the rim. Your guys only got two fouls because you played stupidly. Don't believe me? Ask Wilbon, S.A.Smith, Greg Anthony, Legler even Tony Rome. All have said those 4th qtr FTs were legit.

In any case, all this flopping hurts the integrity of the game and it never used to be this bad. I think in game 3 one of the announcers even said he'd had it with all the flopping going on. I think there is a of a lot more flopping going on now because of the influence of all these international players. Americans have picked up their bad habits. That's not to say that foreigners have not enhanced the game, but they've also hurt it by so much fakery. This is why I hate soccer (besides the fact that it's dead boring). I absolutely love Manu, but I wish he would leave his Euro flopping FIBA ways behind him. He's better than that.

again with the stupid "foreigners infected us with the flopping bug" bull argument. How do you explain Lambeer, Rodman, Malone, etc?? What foreigner taught them how to flop??

what .04?


I don't recall any .04 in 2004 or otherwise.


Let's practice counting, shall we.
After the decimal comes the tenths place, then the hundredths place.

Well, better stop the lesson here. I don't want to give you too much material for one day.

Next lesson will be over the numbers 0, 1,2, 3 and 4.

0 is the number of championships the Mavericks have won.

1 is what round that they got to this year.

2 is how many games they won against Golden State.

3 is how many trophies Tim Duncan has

4 is how many trophies Tim will have before June is over.

Sorry, but that's bull . First, they didn't jostle each other. Fisher came over to give Manu a little playoff bump, because he was frustrated. Your way makes it sound like they both did something, only Fisher got tagged and Manu didn't. Manu had nothing to do with it.

Second, Fisher was stupid enough to do it out in the open, and in front of a ref. You can't be that obvious when you're giving someone a playoff bump.

Third, the contact was definitely not hard enough to merit a tech...if that was all that was happening. The game was getting "chippy", as the announcers like to say. The fans were already throwing on the floor. At those times, the refs have to get control of the game before things get out of hand. If the ref doesn't call a T there, Manu probably gives Fisher a bump the next possession. That's how suspensions evolve.

The next foul Fisher committed was a shot to the head, against a player who was in the air. The ref was able to call a second T, and get Fisher off the court. Otherwise, he would have had no choice but to call a flagrant, and the league would have had to review it. Fisher is a lot better off the way things happened.

The ref thought the game was about to get out of hand. And he was right.

Good post. That's my take too.
