    Totally agreed. I don't understand why so many people sit idly by and say "that's just how the game is."

    Yeah that was nice but I still think he did more harm than good in the end. He went 1/6 in 3 straight trips to the line, had a paniced turnover because he was scared to get fouled again. It threw the Clippers whole offense way off because Chris Paul would pass to him and Blake would pass out real quick. Other players sucked too though but I credit that to the Mavs defense. Did CP3 just storm off the court?

    I was rooting for the court to explode in that Mavs Clipps game. C'est d'hommage.

    I hate to say it but the Rockets flop about as much as the Clips...

    Lowry and Scola in paticular

    Honestly, we do flop a lot. But not as much as the Clippers.

    CP3 and Blake are in a league of their own. Then add in Reggie Evans, Randy Foye, DeAndre Jordan. Its a whos who of floppers.

    Show me one play where Scola flew through the air with no contact. Calling Scola a flopper on the level of some of the others in the NBA isn't fair, IMO. He certainly sells contact (which basketball players are taught to do in junior high), but I don't recall him ever acting out when no contact existed at all, which is a staple of the likes of Christy Paul and Derek Fisher.

    Hardly. Two players don't account for the whole team.

    The Clippers can turn no physical contact into a foul.

    LOL @ Clippers.

    One superstar is a flopper, and the coach is not on good teams with the overall team.

    I can't believe I called them contenders. Even if they have the talent, they don't deserve it to be mentioned as contenders.

    One of the Clips commentators call CP3 out on one of his flops. CP3 gets pissed nothing was called and gets the T screaming at the official.

    watched jordan, magic and bird growing up and this crap was beneath them. Now they fly accross the court like being hit by a car And YET these are considered best players in league?
