If you wish to type in that thread, feel free to do so, but continued insults directed at me rather than the topic is showing exactly who is the child in this conversation. My guess is that you got out of hand before in an argument got banned, and somehow are transfering all that anger at me.... It is the "In" thing to do. DD
You are sorry because I can indeed understand your oh-so-complex-and-unbiased thought mechanism of yours. And I don't know anything about me being banned, did I miss something?
You pretty much overvalue yourself as always. Disdain (ha!) is not to be confused with anger. Just thought I'd point out the fairly obvious fact that you should consult a professional. You know, I figured you can't handle reality. At least it seems so when you try to emulate reasoning.
Again, more anger/disdain directed at me, rather than the topic. Do you have anything substantial to add to this topic? Or are you just here to bash the OP, and ignore the fact that a good majority of the people on this site actually agree that flopping as a primary form of offense is pretty egregious. Oh, and I don't overvalue my opinion, it is just my own which I felt like sharing on a BBS dedicated to my favorite team. You are free to have your own opinion.....express it all you like, fine by me. I don't even recognize you as someone that has posted here before, not sure why this hit your buttons as a topic, maybe you can explain it a bit instead of whining about me. DD
As I expressed before, there is nothing valuable to be added to this topic, as its only purpose is whining. But wait ... I did actually add that we should burn Martin and Lowry. That's it, you're welcome. Now I've had my half an hour, find a new partner.
Quitters, never stop quitting, just like your sig. Well done. Back on Topic, all I would like to see is more focus on scoring the ball rather than on trying to draw a foul. DD
Not to sound racial because I'm not....but when Vlade brought it to everyones attention it was ok ...Because we thought it was just "Vlade being Vlade".....but now these new age Europeans (anyone with long hair) takin it to a whole nother level...It's disgusting and funny watching Ginobili drive to the bucket...He flops before contact, during contact, and after contact....Its amazin to see him get a shot off at all!!!....Then when I saw black NBA players (Iverson was terrible at it...) I knew it was never going away then....People like CP3 and Lowry mastering flopping is despicable...I mean c'mon man!!!...Looks like somebody shot em with a cannon...
Tony Parker is the master at it, I hate wathing him flop on every drive, at least he tries to score the ball, but he falls to the floor all game long, it is fricken unmanly. DD
I dont enjoy watching this team play anymore for the most part. Free throw after free throw is just a boring brand of ball. And it clearly is not a functional strategy as they are sucking. As I stated earlier, I feel like I am watching the Houston Jazz and I absolutely hate it. I absolutely HATE the way Kevin Martin plays
Back on Topic, all I would like to see is more focus on scoring the ball rather than on trying to draw a foul. DD[/QUOTE] All this pump faking at the 3 then drawing a foul, when you are the one who jumps into the defender is ridiculous also....What happened to the days of get your guy off his feet then blow past him??....But these refs allow it to happen so I guess I would do it too...
I'd like to say the pump fake on a jumpshot flopping should go away. It used to be that if you pump faked and got the guy in the air. You took a dribble that took a shot...a real shot. Jumping into a player that's left his feet isn't basketball. Another tricks I want to see removed....when the defender has one hand out at your waste, bring the ball around through his arms drawing contact and pretend to shoot.
I hate it and wish the NBA would take a better emphasis on stopping it. With that said, as long as the NBA allows it, its a smart play
If you want to change how the players play, you need to change how the game is called. It's just that simple. We talked about traveling and carrying in another thread. Same thing. If they don't call it, the players are going to keep doing it. The "the game is too fast for the refs" excuse is just LAME.
disdain. i hate every player who flops. some of our guys take it to the extreme and i just SMH. it's a bad trait to have on a team. but what can you do? soft players => flop. hopefully morey can bring in players who can change the culture. we need guys like dikembe who hated flopping.
