Najera just doing what he was supposed to do.
Manu was going up for a layup and Najera grabbed Manu's shoulder and sent him to the floor.
Horse collar on Manu. Piece of should be suspended for game 5 too.
It was a horse collar.
In terms of hard playoff fouls it wasn't the worst in the world. But it was a foul on Manu followed by Najera reaching around Manu's neck and and throwing him to the ground by his shoulder.
Flagrant 2 was warranted because things were really getting chippy out there. I do think a couple of the flagrant 1s might be overturned later.
What annoys me more is that it seems like Carlisle sent him in to send a message..that's definitely what it looks like..it was the first thing and only thing he did for the entire game..bush league..
Najera grabbed Manu by the neck and threw him to the floor. I hope he's back Tuesday, shooting bad threes again like in game 2.
He was sent in by the mavs to take someone out to try to save the series for Dallas. Dirty pool, Carlisle, dirty pool
FTP
he fell for a fake and decided to yank manu down from his around his neck.
manu got up and sank the ft's. the worse part is because of the mavs dirty desperate plays the refs called some weak ass flagrants on the spurs
It was a flagrant two because he grabbed him by the head and threw him down after the foul was called (whistle blown). Dead ball flagrant.
Dallas radio guys are saying that Carlisle sent him in to send a message to next Spur to go into the paintCarlisle and Najera need their asses nailed to the wall for this one.
Man, it's bull that Blair got called for a flagrant right after when he hit ING BALL on Kidd's drive. I hate how the Spurs got punished for Dallas making a dirty play.
Well, Stern is gonna send Carlisle a message: "You'll be a man short for Game 5."![]()
I hope that's not the case, but you can't put it past any coach in desperation mode. I want to think that he told Najera to go in there and play physical and Najera just took it too far. He was far as out of that play and had no chance of blocking the shot. His rep isn't getting any cleaner.
Najera is a piece of . He's worthless as a basketball player. This is the only thing he's good for.
At first, it did seem like one of those calls to get the game back in order, but the slash down and the fact Djuan connected with Kidd's face made it an automatic. Still much less malicious than Najera.
Some of you fans have gotten as pussy as the NBA. That's was a good old fashion hard playoff foul. Same as the ones the Spurs got called flagrants for. That's why the playoffs are about - I love it when it gets chippy, especially because the Spurs have the toughness to win most of those games. I'll take McDyess and Blair in a rough game over Haywood and Dampier any day.
Dirk threw a elbow at Blair
thanks peeps .... yeah baby spurs in 5 ! drive for 5 !
You still can't wrap a guy around the neck and twist him to the ground....it's dangerous which is why the rule is there.
I agree, but the refs have to be extra vigilant to make sure there's no war of attrition. HOWEVER, this is the Spurs...we don't play that dirty , we do it the right way. We won in spite of it tho, and Manu still hit that giant 3 pointer...so it's all good.![]()
Delusional.
We are a dirty team. Acknowledge it.
