we have an all star flopping team from point guard to center lol lowry-martin-battier-jefferies-hayes
LOL you know what would be awesome if they were all on the same floor and were all trying to draw the foul off 1 layup. All of them on the floor would be golden.
I think a lot of people here don't know the difference between taking a charge and flopping. I can't recall ever seeing Battier flop.
That would be classic :grin: I remember one time Landry was trying to draw a charge, and it took him like 5 seconds to fall back because there was barely any contact. Now THAT was hilarious.
great point. battier, and jeffries, put themselves in the position to get run over. they have to flop a bit (in other words, moving backwards before they're hit, so they don't absorb the full hit. also, how in the world is lowry a flopper? sure, lowry runs into ppl to get contact but that's not flopping. Martin on the other hand...now there's an entirely different story lol. this guy is a master flopper...but I don't really mind it because he looks good doing it haha. no seriously, there's a finesse to the way this guy twists and turns his body while getting the shot. so our worst flopper is Scola, who's not athletic enough to keep up with some of the guys he's defending and has to flop in some cases. unfortunately, he's awkward and terrible at it and you can tell when he's doing it every single time.
Battier flops just as they all do but the point is: We would be 10 games under .500 this year if we did not embellish to get more charges called because we have NO ONE to protect our paint..
I WANT THE ROCKETS TO FLOP EVERY SINGLE TIME, BECAUSE OTHER TEAMS HAVE FLOPPED THEIR A$$ OFF AGAINST THE ROCKETS AND GOT THE CALL.
Embellishing charges is not flopping. The charge happened and your just giving attention to you. Flopping is taking a fake charge, where there was no charge there to begin with, Kevin Martin style.
I do believe that we have a flopping team. As for the second question, yes it does bug me. Flopping is ruining the great game of basketball, and although we aren't quite the worst, it is still flopping. Unfortunately, the league isn't going to fix it. On a side note, traveling is also ruining the game, every play it seems like. Flopping and traveling are really decreasing my love for basketball. I wish it was the old days again.
