NBA flops
Sadly, teams like the Spurs and Cavs make this question necessary...

Re: NBA flops
Not nearly as egregious as when an offensive player blatantly chucks up a shot trying to draw contact.

Re: NBA flops
The flopee should be allowed to go Dave Cowens on the flopper.

Re: NBA flops
dms,
Do you also have a problem with baseball catchers "framing" pitches? What about NFL RBs who clearly stretch the ball forward after they were already down to hopefully get a better spot? I could go on and on...point is that all athletes try to influence the refs. Thats what makes reffing such a tough job. |

Re: NBA flops
Both the "jumping into a guy to draw contact" move and the flop really hurt the team when the call isn't made. There's no reason to punish offenders, if the refs just stopped bailing out the Spurs every goddamn time one of them falls down the Spurs would have to choose between their love of falling down and winning.
I don't understand the push to crack down on floppers, there's a much easier solution: the referees doing their goddamn jobs. |
Re: NBA flops
Gibson had a D- flop on Rip tonight that got called, you could tell by his goofy little grin that he got away with one. Although he did make the shot, which was tough.
Varejao needs a date with a burning grease fire as far as I'm concerned. |

Re: NBA flops
What are everyone's thoughts on like, legitimately taking a charge? Getting in front of a guy, setting your feet, and taking the bump?

Its these charges on the low block that I find ridiculous. I mean how can guys like Varejao, Oberto, etc just fall to the ground on any contact? Its sad and bad for the game IMO. Shaq is def not a HOFer if calls had been like this throughout his career, he might not even be an AS. |

Re: NBA flops
It's annoying overall, but only really so when repeatedly abused.
