Great dunk but I'd rather not see any more flopping like that. Flopping is pathetic no matter who does it.

Just a dumb move by Diener to push him, he clearly did, he exaggerated of course but it's a foul, you have to fall and draw the foul when someone does something that stupid, it is asking you to fall and take the freethrows.

I noticed that Amare removes his goggles every chance he gets. He is probably bothered by it being foggy inside.
But I observed when I wear lab goggles that aerating it makes it even more foggy. In my experience, it's been better to just leave it on. The warm air and water vapor trapped inside will eventually equilibrate and the fog clears up by itself especially when I move around a lot and my body gives off heat.

He takes them off to shoot free throws.

Working in a lab and playing in the NBA are very different when it comes to sweating. I used to play with goggles for distance vision correction, they suck. I found that sweat gets on the goggles, not condensation.

Amare sort of slipped twice, right after the dunk he lost his footing, and right as it seemed that he was getting it back, diener bumped into him. granted it wasnt enough to move him, but i dont think amare was balanced enough to even take a half bump at that moment.

Diener didnt make a huge fuss of it, so he may have figured he bumped an unbalanced guy

Hey I love amares game, but he flopped. Diener is a little weenie, he couldnt knock any PF down. Diener should have gotten foul called just for throwing an elbow AFTER the play. Amare is learning that you have to flop to get the call, the spurs showed him the way.

Foster should have gotten a flagrant foul on that play - he didn't foul him much on top but he purposely undercut him then did his best to roll into Amare's legs.

Fantastic dunk on Foster, however, two things cheapened the experience for me.

1. The flop by Amare afterwards

2. Having to listen to Tom Leander call the play.

Looks to me like Amare was just out-of-balance and got unexpectedly pushed in mid-stride. It's no big deal. Learning how to flop correctly is a good skill. Don't think he flopped in this case though.
