Just returned from Cavs shootaround at Amway Arena – needless to say Ben Wallace and Mo Williams weren’t too pleased to hear they were called floppers by Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.

Van Gundy said yesterday he was upset the Cavs were trying to draw charges using theatrics in Game 3. Van Gundy said, “Ben Wallace and Mo Williams fell down more than a baby learning to walk.”

When asked for reaction to the comments Tuesday, hours before the start of Game 4, Wallace tried to keep his response in check when he reiterated, “It is what it is. That stuff doesn’t really concern me.” But he couldn’t help himself when pressed on the issue.

“Either come out there and do something about it or shut the (expletive) up.”

Williams wasn’t taking the bait.

“I didn’t hear that. That’s what (Van Gundy) said? Oh OK,” Williams said.

He paused.

“Oh you wanted a comment?” Williams asked. “I play basketball. I don’t talk to coaches.”

Coach Mike Brown was tight-lipped.

“Stan called Ben a flopper? Great, I’ll tell Ben,” Smith said.

The media did the work for you, coach.

Coach is wildin. Anythoughts on this.

Intresting that the Daddy picks us given his faith in Stan. Or is this a reverse jinx thing?

Thoughts on this? Does he still have love for his old Magic squad and believes in them?

Speak on it my people, Shaq is the house.
