    Replay really shows the truth for most flops, especially if you have multiple angles, so I truly disagree.

    The red flag play in the NFL works pretty well, and there's not even much debate about the outcome of those reviewed plays.

    There is so much phantom flopping that would be trivial to catch in a replay. Now, if your flopping is strong and could not be determined even with replay, then yes, flop on. Some would get away with it, but the ridiculous cases would get cleaned up pretty quickly.

    I agree with the last part however tonight's game proved my point when the ball was clearly off of Kobe and they still said it was off of Lee.

    Battier has a great sense of humor and this is just some friendly ribbing to his buddy.

    I did like the line that Shane Battier's charity is appropriately named "Take Charge".

    Maybe Morey gave Scola a Greg Williams like speech. " You gotta flop it there, he becomes human when you get him in foul trouble"... " I want to see his head on a swivle, from looking at you on the ground"... " Flop right at that ACL, we'll see if he wants to continue fouling or not"

    Shane doesn't even know how to offense or defense. He sucks!!! He flops a lot more on defense. This guy is just a hater. I'm glad we traded him. Thank GOD!!!

    Hotballa needs a geography class.

    Or do I need a sarcasm detector?

    I'm pretty sure Battier taught Scola and Lowry on how to embellish charges.

    man, i remember when scola first started doing his pump fakes and leaning into players to get to the line like martin. he would completely miss the player and just fall over. it really was embarrassing.
