    Sorry. Flopping or other similarly disingenuous should never, ever be accepted or encouraged.

    It's a disgrace. It's flouting the entire fabric of sports society.

        I heard it every time the Jazz shot a free throw.

          Someone as big and strong as Blake should not be flopping.

          Tell me, how is this intelligent?

          I can understand if you are someone significantly smaller. Say Derek Fisher on Dwight Howard. Then, flop away to your hearts content. He's going to score regardless in that situation because that is a terrible mismatch. Might as well try and fake it.

          Say however, in that above clip? That's where me and Matrix agree. That type of flop has no place in the sport. That, was utterly disgraceful.

            Deron is definitely a close second behind CP3

              It was intelligent tonight because it got the Clippers a huge turnover at a key time.

              Not a fan of flopping, but tonight it was intelligent.

                And yes Deron is 1B.. even though get gives no F#$Ks this year

                Cp3 when its all said and done will be better than both he just has to okay it out... Hey embodies qualities both of them have. and a lil spice of his own


                As for Rose.. he needs to play the pg position better.. he takes too much scoring responsibility too a fault, no not because he is selfish but that just the way he is wired.. he needs to develop these pg intangibles.. and and a lil more subtlety to his game.. as far as Playing the "PG"

                  It helped them get the W, and that's really all I'd care about as a fan. Most of it is ridiculous, but if it's done strategically, then I'm for it, even if it's against the opponent. It makes a guy think twice about getting aggressive.

                    People live in the now apparently. It's a "What have you done for me lately" sports culture right now. Deron's on a terrible team, while Rose is on a significantly better team. So right now Rose is the 2nd best PG in the league. Not because he's necessarily better, but because he has better teammates and he's winning.

                    Plus he doesn't play with the most hated man in America.

                      It's mainly the fact that the sole responsibility of scoring is placed on him. He HAS to score 25-30 on most nights for the Bulls to be competitive; we can't rely on Boozer dropping 20-25 or Deng dropping 20-25 and letting Rose distribute, he HAS to assert himself. That's a good thing and a bad thing in many ways, but really there's nothing we can do about it but get a guy like Dwight, who more than likely won't be coming w/ Chicago.

                                You think it's been 7 years since Steve Nash was the best point guard in basketball?
