SA fans out there, please let the SA team know this type of dirty play degrades your team and the sport of basketball. Clean up your act. |
And this is different from what Laimbeer and Mahorn did how?
I know folks don't like Ginobili. He's like Sheed, Claude Lemieux, Rodney Harrison. You hate him if you play him, you love him if he is on your team.
I don't mind the Spurs roughing up the Pistons as long as no one gets hurt. What I don't like is that no one plants Tony Parker on his keister when he drives the lane.
Sorry, but as a Badboys era fan, it would be entirely hypocritical of me to condemn Ginobili for fighting when his team had given up, and playing physical/hard/dirty. Nothing he did was worthy of a flagrant foul.
Personally, I'd love to see Manu and his flopping, crazy passing, big play-making in a Detroit uniform.
