But that's the way PUNKS play; they never step up when it matters and flaunt it when it doesn't. Look at Al Harrington, for example; AL NEVER makes 2 free throws in crunch. He always gets you one; which amounts to ****. But he's really good at making 3's when it doesn't matter.
Barbosa must hold the record for most years leading the league in blown layups.

Barbosa was shocked after the NBA looked closely at the tapes when he pulled Ginobili down and swung at him. He was shocked they looked at the replay. The little jerk asked if the Spurs asked for the review and Popovich said he should know better. The NBA looks at all the plays that look flagrant, whether guys like Mark Cuban request it or not.
The Spurs did like the guy. But he knows that he yanked Ginobili down. I know Ginobili is a good flop artist, but that does not mean you just pull him to the ground and take a swing. It was replayed and it is quite apparent what he did. Pulled Ginobili down and missed with his elbow on the ground. You think these guys would know the cameras are everywhere.
Hindsight is 20/20 but it looks like that first loss
Phoenix took in SA had a large effect. If that 1st
game had been won by the Suns... ya never know.
The Suns have really cratered. Lets see if they show
some guts and win game 4. So much of this game
involves confidence and the ability to perservere.
