What did you think when Manu fouled Damon Jones in the act of shooting a 3 at that point in game 4?

Manu gives ...........Manu takes ........
but he really gave it that fourth quarter yesterday so....very proud of Manu and he is awesome ........
I thought that that was a bailout call be Eddie Rush. And looking at it in slo-mo...ALL-BALL.
Once the block is on, the rest of the contact, provided it ain't "un-natural" is ok.
welll that's what i thought but manu hot him on the head so i don't know if they should have called a foul or not?
I agree.
Breen needs to stop trying to defend every call the refs make.
ABC needs to stop being biased towards the underdog.
Breen said that manu got him in the head, but I didn't see it.
There was nothing that you should call a foul for, especially at that point.
Nevertheless, Manu should have simply tried to contest, not block the shot.
I thought it was pretty clear that Manu's elbow knicked Damon Jones on the top of the head. Even if it was slight, it was clearly a foul, and replay definitely showed that.
I'm sure many Spurs fans were like, "that was stupid."
But, being up 3-0 and witih a 5 point cushion with 5 seconds left, if I were a Spurs fan, I wouldn't have cared. Before the free throws, even if Damon made all 3, which he ended up doing, the Spurs were still in the power position and driver seat.
that's true, he should have just contested the shot and avoid ANY kind of contact 'cause we all know refs love to bail out the underdog
THERE WAS NO FOUL.
Repeat after me, THERE WAS NO FOUL.
It was so clear in the replay that it was all ball, a good clean block. But the refs had been trying their best to get the Cavs back into the series for 2 quarters at that point with a couple suspect calls and no-calls on Timmy (travel, defensive 3-second, no fouls called).
Fortunately, the Spurs didn't let it get to them and just grinded it out for the win.
I was surprised he even tried to block it. I'm pretty sure Pop must have told them not to put the Cavs in the line shooting FTs.. I think its Manu's instincts taking over w/c can be good at times but also costly sometimes.. that's manu
I understand what you are saying.
However, if Manu misses a free throw (and remember Manu and Finley had both missed free throws at that point), then if Manu only makes one and they make a 3, game is tied.
I fell to my hands and knees with a desperate "noooooooo!"
No, really. I did. lol
It was way too flashbacky of Game 7 vs. Dallas - of course, I had to remind myself that that was not Game 7 and there was basically no way the Spurs would lose the series; but yeah.
Eh. I think it's because the contact was with the head. The refs call week contact like that all the time when people try to block jump shots from behind and make minimal contact with the head. It's weak, but it was there and I can't really argue with the call.
My initial reaction was calling Manu stupid, but he more than made up for it with the rest of his end game dominance.
exactly.
way too eerily similar.
many bad memories.
And because of TPark's generosity, I was present at game 7 of the Mavs Spurs series. I remember it well.
Yeah, I didn't care at all. I didn't really believe they were losing this game at any point even with the foul.
It looked like a clean block to me.
I was drunk and already celebrating the 4th championship
clean block and now lets attempt to make it a good game for ratings
It looked like he got some body, but regardless, that's Manu being Manu. He's balls-to-the-wall on every play, and if that means he makes a careless foul now and then, it's totally worth it to me.
Here's the thing Manu clearly hit him on the head on the way down.
But the block was clean. Absolutely all ball.
Since the shot was already blocked the foul became incidental contact,
and should have been a no call.
it was a clear foul.......... he hit his head
I laughed like when he leapt out of bounds trying to save a ball on the offensive end a few plays earlier. Dude, the game's about wrapped up... you can take it easy.
I thought it was clean, but he may have gotten him on the head a little bit
Body, thats the epitome of Manu Ginobili.
Thats why hes one of the best players in the league
What did I think? MANU NOT AGAIN!!!!
Define unnatural? Did Manu attempt to take away Jones' manhood?
