How many games a year would you estimate the Jazz win due to their mastery of the art of flopping? I'll go with 4 to 6.
I agree that they flop every game but it's not like they are a no-talent team that couldn't win games without flopping. I'd really love to see a serious study that analyzed the Jazz' flopping over the course of a season and determined roughly how many extra games they won because of it. To be fair, they would also have to do the same thing for every other team and see how much more of a factor it is with the Jazz. I don't think there is any doubt that the Jazz have benefited more than any other team because of flopping. The Ginobili/Bowen Spurs would be up there as well.
I've always been on the CP3 side of the CP3/D-Will debate but it's really close. Really, really close.
Andersen is blocking 2.3 shots per game in under 20 mpg. I have to imagine he's leading the league in blocks per minute. Edit: I just looked it up. He's actually 5th but the guys ahead of him have barely played. 2nd is Turiaf. http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...d=N&yearsExp=-1&sortOrder=3&splitDD=All Teams
That foul on Kirelenko, I was saying to myself ok Kirelenko is fouling him like crazy right now. Now, I dont understand how Carmelo fouled Kirelenko, Andrei created all of that.
2nd game in a row that Utah is getting help by the refs because the other team's star player is in foul trouble in a crutial time of the game. It makes me sick.
