Bruce Bowen is a dirty player.
Manu looks is a floppy lil bitch. Looks like he's playing soccer out there.
Derek Fisher shouldn't have been called for both T's. Manu's first flop with the little bump looked like a Mack Truck hit him.
2nd hit in the arm, He goes flailing down the floor. That guy is the biggest pussy in the NBA.
Oh, and I'm not a Jazz fan. 😛
Bruce Bowen gets called a dirty player because he frustrates and actually plays defense star players who are used to getting a red carpet laid out straight to the rim.
Manu does flop, but come on, who doesn't? The biggest pussy in the NBA goes to the rim hard every time and finishes. I can name off a lot of players who resort to 20 ft. fade aways instead.
The Spurs played the same way a few years ago and they were labeled soft. Now they are the bad boys of the NBA.
Bruce Bowen is a good defender, but you can't tell me he doesn't plays dirty.
Sticking your foot out and having other players land on your feet after a jumper is not clean play.
The kick on Amare was absolutely intentional in the phx series. If you look at the replay you can clearly see that. Who kicks someone right in the achilles ? When they're about to jump for a dunk.
Spurs the badboys ?? LMAO. The only dirty player aka so called bad boy on that team is Bruce Lee Bowen.
I can agree with you that a lot of players flop. But the amount and the severity in the flop itself. Manu owns all. He's the flop king. It looks like he's playing soccer out there. Seriouly~
You just said the Spurs are cheap and dirty.
It's pretty hard to purposely stick your foot under someone when you are contesting a jump shot. Have you ever noticed that the only people to complain about Bowen are superstar softies like Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, etc?
If you think Manu flops, you haven't seen Varejao or whatever his name is on the Cavs. Also Raja Bell flops as much if not more. I don't think Derek fisher deserved the first T for bumping Manu but you try to sell the foul to the refs and he did that well. Fisher shouldn't have put himself in that position. ALL players will try to get a foul, don't single out just the spurs.

no doubt.. there are more spur haters than any other team.
i just finished the game and saw a bunch of no calls - on BOTH teams.
Derek Fisher did a good flop job himself when Ginobili screened around him and finished with a layup - this frustrated Fisher and that's why he intentionally bumped Ginobili on the way back - this was completely unnecessary.
and WAY TO GO JAZZ FANS... throwing stuff onto the court - so bad that NO after game interviews could be held. very classy.

The Jazz collapsed and their fans followed.
Too bad. The spurs collapsed...the middle that is, forcing the Jazz to beat them outside, which they couldn't. Jazz should have taken back the middle by force, drawn more fouls, and gotten more rebounds.
And the refs aren't going to call many flops on ginobili when he's dominating like he was. Chalk this one up to the Spur's experience.

Damn sounds like it was a good game. I had to work dammit and I missed what looked like to be an interesting game.
Jazz fans can sure relate to Warriors fans right now (and vice versa). Both teams are MUCH better at home than on the road, and were counting on winning every game at home for a chance to beat the better team. The Jazz did a great job of ending the Warriors season by taking the first two at home and then planting the dagger in game four, and the Spurs just did the exact same thing to the Jazz. Series over.
The thing about the Jazz is that they have a much brighter future than my Warriors. =/ I think in 2-3 years the Spurs won't be beating the Jazz in a best of seven.

The Jazz are a bunch of hackers playing Pat Riley East Coast thug basketball.
If the refs actually called fouls most of the Jazz would foul out. I am a Warrior fan also, so it gives me great pleasure to see the Jazz implode against the Spurs. I knew the winner of the Spurs/Suns series would destroy the Warriors or the Jazz.
The Warriors actually had the Jazz whipped in the first two games, then choked down the stretch. The Jazz were lucky to beat the Warriors.
The Jazz have a much brighter future than the Warriors? QFT.
The Warriors have Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Jason Richardson, Monta Ellis, etc.. all fine young players, and the Jazz have Deron Williams and Boozer.
If the Warriors had a big man they would have trounced the Jazz.
Yeah, I read the sportswriters talking about what a class act Derek Fisher is, complete BS. He was really classy in game 3 against the Warriors, coming off the bench and then fouling out.
I think the NBA needs to change the rules, players off the bench only get 4 or 5 fouls.
Utah beat the Warriors up physically, they didn't beat them at basketball.

GO Spurs!
I hope you're right about the Warriors future. I'm a huge GSW fan, but reading about Nellie getting close to retirement and thinking about Baron wanting a contract extension when he's going to be an injury risk every single season makes me real nervous. As does their payroll, which had zero room and big contracts coming to Biedrins and Ellis.
Truth be told, Baron makes me nervous. He has the talent to be a top 10 player in the league, but he sure doesn't play like that on a regular basis. He played out of his mind in the playoffs, and I hope he continues to do so next year.
ugh... sometimes it sucks to be a pistons fan... I wish they would decide to show up....
If they end up moving on... playing 6-7 games against the Cavs will surely guarantee a sweep by a rested Spurs team...
blah... until Detroit is down 3-2 in this series... they won't show up which is pathetic

Its been a good playoffs so far. There are too many so-called fans in basketball though. They want to see run and gun teams play arcade basketball (that is what the d-leagues are for). Hopefully after this playoffs, we will all remember what defense looks like.
Utah will be very good in 3 years. Tim Duncan will retire, and the Spurs will have to rebuild. Though I am not sure that Portland won't be the next team in the West to dominate. They have a perfectly set table going into the draft. Utah, Dallas, and Pheonix get 2 more shots before they have to deal with a real trailblazer, not jailblazer team.
It sucks for the east though. They have a tough road ahead if they can't get some luck in the draft next year.
Oh, and Go Spurs!

It will be sad to see Duncan go when he does.
