See this just isn't true (and I hate DOOKIES as much... no, more than the next guy). Battier tries to get charges. He's not always successful and the current state of flopping helps him get away with some calls that should be fouls on him, but that's pretty much all he does. I can see calling him a flopper for trying to sell a charge when he barely gets hit but that's very different to me than running into people on the court and falling down like you mentioned, flailing to the ground after a shot like Wade/Paul, diving into the stands on a box out or when someone fights around a pick like LBJ, etc.

I wish all of Battier's plays were called correctly. I think he'd still be ahead of the league in actual charges taken and the craft would be respected more... while all the other crap would go away. I also wish they took that stupid semi circle from under the rim which is really what's screwed up the charge/block call on drives more than anything else. Players should need to get in position and not move to take the charge. The semi circle was meant to be in addition to that, but now it's just get your feet outside of that and nothing else matters.

He tries to get charges yes, but there's also been many times where he just flops from a little bit of contact.

No really. I was really hyped for last year's finals. God mode Dirk was something to watch. I also was really into the west & east conference finals but theses finals miss some drama. I hope at least Miami makes it a serie.

/ and btw it's not because i have a Bulls avatar that I'am a die hard bulls fan. I like the bulls just as much as the lakers, the celtics, dallas or the spurs.

Call me crazy, but IMO D.Fish don't really flop....just over exaggerates his fouls. Now harden on the other hand is becoming masterful LOL.

So my Grandmother, who doesn't follow basketball at all..

Sees Lebron's face and says he looks depressed...

Says he looks like hes missing something

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

I love when they show Lebron giving the "team speech" in the hallway.

"Let's win. Gotta have this one."

That'll pump em up.

Maybe I'm a nerd, but if the Imperial March was my intro music, I'd be getting pumped as hell.
