The first one, it looked like Ginobili initiated the contact and then flopped. It was barely a bump either way, and I don't think even Ginobili deserved a T for it

live and on the first replay i thought it was a weak call also. But they slowed it down and showed it from a different camera angle, and these things definately happened:

1. Fisher looks back, directly at Ginobli, and waits to see where he's going
2. Fisher turns and jogs downcourt diagonally, so that he'll collide with Ginobli
3. they collide. Ginobli recoils the other way from the impact. Fisher doesn't budge
4. a half second (quarter second? whatever, it's noticable) later, Fisher also "recoils" from the collision.

words like "collision" and "impact" might be overboard, it wasn't exactly a bone-jarring hit. But it was very clear what Fisher's intent was.

I have to say, this is shocking. I though Fish pulled off such a sneaky veteran move there that nobody was going to notice it among all the ginobili-related whining. Thank you 2+2 for pleasantly surprising me. TD, your post is perfect.

Varejao should be on the Spurs, what a douche.

[kidcolin]

Geraldo's a douche.

That was just bizarre and stupid of Gooden. WTF was he thinking? Two straight games he has had a mystifying lapse in judgment.

[lapoker17]

sick game.

i thought gooden had like 20% chance of making that shot. maybe less.

[barryc83]

lol LBJ reminds me of every NBA Live game Ive ever played. you will miss all day wide open and hit every contested shot. RIGGED.

the pistons are a disgrace if they lose this game...they should be killing this team...i don't understand...how did they win a championship (ben wallace that much of an MVP?)
