THe officiating wasn't the reason the Spurs couldn't hit a basket in the first quarter, was it??? THe SPurs won the game, they STEPPED UP like they usually do, and won a game that 99% of peeps thought they would, Congrats to the SPurs indeed, they played a great second half.Guess I'm just seeing things...That's pretty messed up. How do you run into someone, then flop?Thats the new era version of defense. Get used to it.

I don't know why people act like flopping just started in Phoenix. That has been going on for a while. Even some Lakers have done it before.

They played great man-on-man D, and if someone made enough contact with them, they would flop. But I don't EVER recall them running full speed into someone then falling back like they were shot with a cannon.

You breathe on him wrong and he would fall to the ground. Now that I agree with. Raja Bell is resorting to flopping a little bit too much. Players used to do it back in the day to cut off driving lanes or to bait the referee into calling a foul if there was alot of contact. (example: Hinrich against Billups). But Bell many times is beat and to make up for it he is flopping. Marion and Thomas both play good D. Which for Bell I don't understand because he is a good defender.
^ the flopper that pisses me off the most is Anderson Varejao. There's just something about seeing a 6'11 man flopping that really irks me.
