Flopping (NBA)

Oh, the play where Scola held AK47? I saw that as it occurred. It was an obvious hold. I think (pure speculation here) Tony Brothers had to call it b/c everyone in the gym expected McGrady to shoot and Scola's hold prevented AK47 from getting out to challenge the shot. Everybody was caught by surprise when McGrady passed the ball out to Bobby Jackson, but Brothers had blown his whistle way before Jackson got the ball.

You're destroying my confidence in the Mikes.

I was at the game.... it was pretty intense all night, but that call specifically... Brothers hit the whistle but everyone was screaming that I don't think anyone really heard it, until he hit the whistle again and waved the basket off...

It takes some steel between the legs to wipe off that bucket....

Just wondering, has anyone noted that Darell Garretson passed away over the weekend. I looked but didn't see a thread.

I hadn't heard that. He wasn't that old, was he? I'm sorry to hear that.

I remember Darell watching the NBA back in the early 80s. I remember that I liked the fact that they weren't robots. They were part of the show, to me anyways, and I liked that.
