    One thing I really dislike are players that whine and complain every freaking time/call. Few examples are CP3, Dirk, Lebron(young to miami). These guys would complain and b*tch to the ref when fouls WEREN'T even call on them.

    to be fair, deandre's foul should've resulting in 3 FTs...so he had a right to be ticked off. he was technically fouled mid shot.

    i'm not sure why people area making a big deal out of these reactions. i hate CP3 as much as any other flopper-hater, but the dude is passionate. its the playoffs. why is this even a thing?

    The biggest thing to take from that video is that the Spurs are a well-oiled machine, even when skipping from the sidelines.

    weren't they supposed to T them up with the kobetech? i guess the refs just stopped calling it like they do with the traveling calls.

    After Griffin's TOV, and CP3 ran back to foul Mills to stop the layup,

    the camera showed 2 things :

    1. Griffin was laying on the ground watching the whole thing and then pulled up by this teammate.

    2. CP3 was so upset about giving the ball up and leading to this.

    The rift is there.

    Does anyone think that Paul's mid range game and more shooting is a product of coach Sam Cassell

    He's passionate about winning, you'd kill him if he wasn't passionate enough. That's the life of a Black athlete.

    People like the OP are idiots.

    Did you watch the last Rockets-Clippers game?

    Their entire team and coaching staff were circled around the referees after every play stoppage. It's irritating. Passion is not an excuse for poor behavior.

    He wastes a lot of enery whining, flopping, and yapping to the officials. What's his post-tantrum PER?

    I wonder if this is how he is during the NBAPA's meeting as its president too.

    It sucks because I love CP3's game. It's everything you would want in a top level PG. His antics will always tarnish his image for me.

    Yeah, I agree. The Clippers antics are generally unacceptable.

    But what's being complained about in this thread--stomping out of frustration, during the playoffs no less, is moot. It doesn't matter. It's the playoffs. Players are expected to be passionate, pissed off, not level headed at all times during the playoffs. If they didn't care, we wouldn't watch.

    Who cares if they stomped and threw tantrums. Those tantrums are reflections of their poor play, not whining. Except for Deandre, where the foul shot should've been called.

    This so much. I really like the way he plays the game but the way he cries and flops all the time it made me hate him. It made me hate him so much I won't even say that he's the type of PG that all teams should have.
