    With CP3 leading the way, Mo Williams, Chauncey Billups and Blake Griffin displayed a preview of their array of excessive flopping skills to come this season. Cheapens the game. Very unsportsmanlike.

    Pathetic stuff indeed. CP3 and Chauncey have been world class floppers for a long time. Sickening! Mo Williams is 2nd tier. I didn't realize Blake Griffin deserved an aware too.

    Flopping is killing the game. I cringe when I see Scola do it, even when it works out in our favor.

    With Fisher, Bryant and Barnes leading the way, Lakers are the classiest team in the league

    Fisher drew contact in the paint going up against the basket how is that unsportsmanlike? Kobe knocked shane down since he was getting frustrated. If you've played ball you've reacted that way too.

    Theres nothing unsportsmanlike in those instances. Talk about reaching and embarrassing yourself

    Barnes is just there to create a mess wherever he went...been on 8 teams in 9 years

    Nope. Just pointing out the excessive flopping by the Clippers. Nobody is dismissing that the clips have a great team but that dismiss the fact that they're excessive flopping

    so you've never shoved a person when going for a rebound or committed a foul out of frustration?

    Chill. Kobe and Shane have gone at it for a decade + and you're pulling out one instance where his anger got the best of him and he knocked him down

    Just cause you're frustrated/angry doesn't give you the right to elbow someone in the head. Usually unsportsmanlike conduct occurs under those type of emotions...

    Kobe has been for years rude and disrespectful to his opponents. If he was on the Rockets I would have been applauding him but the fact of the matter is the act was unsportsmanlike and no excuse or emotional state can justify it

    they really need to punish floppers, it hurts the game.

    if on the replay you can determine that it's a flop, you should charge them a technical.

    Did he knock Shane down? Yes. Did he elbow him? no. Quit being a puss, being rude is unsportsmanlike? I can tell you havent played any sports

    Kobe lost a step
