    Manu Ginobili is an agitator.

    "It's a great thing to have when you can just put your head down, flail your arms, push off and do all types of other things and nothing happens," the Nuggets' Marcus Camby said. "You know what I mean?"

    And he's a Ginobili fan.

    Nuggets coach George Karl? Not a fan. At least not in this playoff series, where Ginobili has shredded the Nuggets' defense with jumpers and drives, with toughness and reckless abandon. And yes, sometimes with elbows.

    "I'm just going to put it on tape, give it to my son and tell him this is how to play basketball," a frustrated Karl said of the Spurs' guard from Argentina after the Nuggets' 86-78 loss Saturday night in Game 3. "Just put your head down and run into people. I guess that's the new brand of basketball."</div>

    I thought it was interesting that one of Karl's former teammates on the Sours said Karl used to play the exact same way.

    Ginobili does aggrivate me at times, but I do appreciate his athleticism and aggressiveness...its the refs who make the calls as fouls, Ginoibilis just trying to get to the basket...it wouldnt be fouls if the refs didnt make the calls, and I do think the officiating in this years playoffs has been horrible...
