[SemiFinals] Spain - Australia

[fasoulaki]

Spanish flopping is targeting psychology. The opponent looses conectration and starts to argue with the refs instead of focusing on the match. Thats the first step to loose the game. A smart player should be aware of that. Why did Spain get the technical?

Because of Bricky Rubio protests. He might been right or not, but he should stay focused. The only good thing for Spain is that they are -4 before the last quarter.

[Mr Chacho]

Being 4 down is a miracle.

Typical Spanish theater begins. But this is part of the game and the oppoent has to be aware of it and stay calm and play basketball.
Who was lying on the court when the Australian player made the basket? Rudy?

To hit someone in the throat is a foul.

You know all parts of the body are connected by the nerves. Sometimes you hit the shoulder but you feel a pain in the throat.

Foul or not?
Maybe you need a rule book.
Or some basic basketball understanding.

best part of the play tonight was the offensive foul on floppy by mills when he was double teamed by floppy and marc who pushed mills on floppy. i laughed so hard. and then floppy compaining about putting legs in front at 3pt attemps. he deserves an oscar

[Cojayar]

I like all Greek losers getting it into their pants when Spain is coming and will win this.

We were talking about the theater and not about the foul.

I think over the years people understood Spanish baskball style and I have to say its a legitimate and very succesful part of the game. Its targeting the opponents psychology. Since Spain is well-known of that the opponent shoud be aware of this and stay concentrate and tyry not to loose focus like the Australians are doing now.
