    The way some of the calls have been going against us sh!+ might as well start flopping ourselves. How many fines for flopping is the NBA really handing out anyway?? :cool:

    It doesn't help the Clippers, and Lillard got swept out of the second round by the Spurs after flopping his ass off against us.

    In the end flopping doesn't win. Perception wins, and the way you boost perception is to blow out as many teams as possible, good or bad. Time for us to blow out teams, starting tonight.

    That's the way of the NBA. Even though Harden is labeled around the league as one of the biggest floppers in the game.

    I'm not saying he is but that's the word on the streets. Lol

    Harden is already perceived as a flopper by fans of other teams. Actually, I believe the refs have decided(or have been told by the nba) to not give him the usually calls he's been drawing the last 3 years. It has caused him to take more outside shots and rack up a lot of turnovers.

    I've seen a lot of floppers over the years, but that crap Splitter was pulling was shameless. It was like flops on 4 consecutive post ups, and sadly he actually got 2 calls.

    It is noted when he has huge scoring games that were resulted in a lot of EARNED free throws, and the next game he can't buy a whistle.

    I was at the San Antonio game and about lost it when Harden got called for an offensive foul on a drive in which he didn't do ANYTHING offensive!!!!

    we have harden for that, but he doesnt flop as much as pple think. maybe we can stick canaan on the opposing teams' centers and have him flop every time they make a move. have him fly to the 5th row or something. flagrant 2, ejections, suspensions, league bans, the works. he'll do it all in a days work.

    Bull****.
    I acknowledge that we have floppers on the team, but some teams flat out flop a hell of a lot more.

    There are certain teams that are coached to flop. Not all players flop equally. I doubt anyone would try to debate that.

    That being said, how about we just make our shots?
