    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">April 28, 2006 -- INDIANAPOLIS - The chippiness and physical play that had been building in the series erupted in the third quarter of Game 3 between the Nets and Pacers here last night.
    Scot Pollard, sick in the morning but called upon as foul trouble hit the Pacers bigs not named Jermaine O'Neal, caught Vince Carter in the head with an elbow after a rebound. Carter dropped to the floor and Pollard was assessed an offensive foul. Carter said the elbow didn't throw him off his game, but he was never the same after the blow at 3:35.

    "As much as I would like to say so, it didn't (affect me)," said Carter, who was 0-of-10 in the second half.

    Pollard was a central figure in the next flareup at 1:45. Nenad Krstic was driving and was fouled by Johnson. Krstic claimed he also was grabbed by Pollard. In untypical fashion, Krstic pushed Pollard, earning a technical.

    Already frustrated by the officiating that put him on the bench for huge chunks of the first two games, O'Neal received another unfavorable call yesterday when the NBA socked him $15,000 for questioning the officiating in Game 2.

    "Apparently, they don't like when I talk. I don't think I said anything wrong," said O'Neal, who had claimed he felt the officiating seemed one-sided.

    "It's something the league feels strongly about. I know that was the reason," said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. "I don't think the intent was malicious." </div>

    Agreed. Carter seemed like he flopped.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't flopping.

    Yeah when I saw the replay it looked Like he flopped. And didnt he use that as an excuse for his poor shooting in the second half?
