    Never seen a big man get this disrespected since the Yao Ming days. God, it's infuriating... all the ticky tack calls to get these bigs in foul trouble and out of the game. Essentially penalizing them for being bigger and stronger...

    I said this same thing one night, that Shaq wouldn't be as good as he was if they called the game the same. They basically penalize Dwight for being bigger and stronger.

    Maybe Dwight should start Flopping.

    Seriously Dwight is only guy in this modern NBA that doesn't flop and the refs penalize him.

    I don't think he'll ever have a playoff game under 4 fouls. There was one where he just played good strong defense, didn't reach and they called a foul because the offensive player couldn't penetrate.

    I don't know what pissed me off more, seeing Howard get called for everything little thing, or seeing Dirk jump up and throw his arms out like he got hit with a damn battering ram every time he got out rebounded.

    Next game is on TNT. Cue the "Dwight needs to be more dominant. 28 and 15 every night" from Shaq and the "I don't think the Rockets will make it far in the playoffs. Dallas is a much better team" from Chuck.

    Yes and this. Dwight clearly needs to catch up to the "new NBA" and start flopping.

    You can thank Dirk Nowitzki. Apparently his preferred method of rebounding for the duration of this series will be to throw his hands up and Kirilenko his way towards the baseline.

    imo, the only way this changes is if mchale or morey make it big enough problem in the media that it gets picked up nationally, which may entail fines..

    Yep, if Dirk isn't in position watch what he does. He always does this ****, he'll throw his hands up and flop his head all over the place and act like he's been pushed in the back.

    i don't know why the team doesn't just call out silver for not enforcing his own no-flop rule. everyone watching both in the arena and on tv can easily see when he flops, so make the commissioner publicly defend his zebras for their gullibility/blindness

    I saw Bogut pull off the same exact stuff in the Warriors/Pelicans game and he hardly got any calls.
