SAN ANTONIO—Having returned Tuesday after missing 19 games with an ankle injury, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili expressed frustration with his level of play, saying that his ability to draw offensive fouls by flopping to the floor with little or no provocation was still only at "about 85 percent." "The ankle is healthy, but my flailing and splaying still aren't where they need to be," said Ginobili, who has begun to practice windmilling his arms and falling backward during shoot-arounds. "I'm used to throwing myself 10, sometimes 12 feet down court. At this point, I'm lucky if I'm getting 8 on a good flop. My wailing is good, but I need to be hitting the floor a lot harder than the guy hit me, if I was hit. I can't catch myself with my hands like I did in the second quarter tonight. That was bush league." Ginobili then flung himself out of the locker room, slid backward onto a bus, and tumbled wildly into his suburban home.



:D :devil:

I just heard a few minutes ago that Ginobili is now out for the rest of the season. Of course thats only 5 more games, but I dont know if they meant the playoffs also or not. TVs in the other room, so I'm just hearing bits and peices.

Here you go. I watched the first couple of minutes. It's taking
to long to load. I'm sure there is a flop in there somewhere.:)

It wasn't sarcasm. They're 4 for 4 in the Finals. And they swept Lebron and the Cavs, so I don't think "flopping" had much to do with it. The Spurs were clearly the better team

But I don't really care to debate it with you. Say what you will...

well yeah they beat them and I know that it really didnt have much impact on the turnout, i mean, you had an experienced squad against 22 year old Lebron and rookie Daniel gibson and Varejo (sp?) wasnt that great at the time, etc....Im just saying it gets very annoying to watch

Not if you're a Spurs fan. I never get tired of watching them win championships.

I don't know who your team is and I don't really care, but if it was your favorite team winning titles, you wouldn't care how they did it either.

maybe thats the reason why the Spurs will never be my favorite team....

and yeah I would care.....I wouldn't ever like a team that flopped constantly, but I guess your right, Titles are EVERYTHING, huh? no matter how they are won:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:stirpot:

Isn't this in direct opposition to Cowboys haters who say that they won't support the team anymore due to the players that it signs?
