NBA WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: GRIZZLIES v SPURSMay 22, 2013Manu GinobiliSAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: Practice Day Q. Talk about your foul. MANU GINOBILI: Well, I saw the man was in trouble very far from the basket so I tried to go behind him to get it, just to try to get the shot off. When I was going up I lost it, and then it was sort of a two on one, one against zero, and I tried to foul him. I thought I had him well on the arm, so it was not like a dangerous play or anything like that, but I guess it was? Q. Were you surprised when they ruled it after the review, ruled it a‑‑ MANU GINOBILI: Yeah, I was. I know I grabbed his arm, but I kind of hold him so‑‑ but I guess he fell awkwardly, and the refs‑‑ when you've got three refs watching on replay 1,000 times, I guess they make the right call. Q. Will you appeal it because you can‑‑ there's a scale of flagrants in the Playoffs that would get you suspended and whatnot. MANU GINOBILI: That's the first one in a decade, so... Q. Did you hear the people making the comparisons about how you've made exaggerated falls in the past? MANU GINOBILI: Comparison with what? Q. With what Tony did, how he fell and how exaggerated his fall seemed to be. MANU GINOBILI: Even if you exaggerate a fall, once you watch it, like I said before, 10 times with three sets of eyes, then it's not a matter of exaggerating. I guess I did too much of a hard foul and that was a flagrant. Q. Do you think it's fair that people have said you've made those exaggerated falls and maybe it's okay that he did it with you fouling him? MANU GINOBILI: I don't think I do what people think I do. It's a discussion that is never going to go anywhere. Q. In the fourth quarter do you think you took too many perimeter shots in the fourth? MANU GINOBILI: To tell you the truth, I really don't know what happened. We haven't watched video. I didn't want to watch again last night. The feeling was that we stopped, that we were not as aggressive, that we didn't move the ball as well, and we suffered a little bit under pressure. They were all over us. It was hard to get anything done. But I really can't pinpoint exactly what happened. Once we watch the video, now we have a few days, so I want to take a day off mentally. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
