Flopping

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.

I was actually wondering if anyone knew of any popular Jazz forums similar to this. I wanted to go there and see what they thought about their players flopping. I know when I see a Rockets player flop, or if we just plain get the benefit of a bad call I pray that we don't win by that margin because I want to be able to say we earned it. Plus...I wanted to rub in last night

Also another quesiton relating to this forum. Why can I not make threads? Do I have to earn that privlege? If so that's kidna lame. Oh well it's worth it considering how awesome of a fanbase is here at clutchfans.

Anyways if someone could answer those two questions I'd appreciate it. I hope to see ya'll around here on the forums talking Rockets playoffs for the next two months (crosses fingers)

 

don't stoop to their level.. besides.. Jerry Sloan teams never flop. At least that's what their fans have been led to believe for the past 15 years or so.

 

Nahh I wasn't going to rub anything in, heck, we're still down. What do I have to rub in?

I just wanted to seriously ask them what they thought about it. I seriously hate it when the Rockets get the benefit of bad calls...unless they have been on the other end repeatedly.

 

There should definate a video review system where the teams can submit videos of flop fouls after the game. If a player is caught doing this say three times he get suspended for a game, the penelty goes up from there. That will stop it cold.

 

In my opinion, such floppying should be punished by 5-10 games suspension, and the decision can be made after the game by reviewing replay.

That was purely cheating.

 

That would be phenomenal. For every 3 obvious flops you get a suspension.

I can see it now...

NBA official: "After review of game 1 of the 2008-2009 season, Andrei Kirilenko, Mehmet Okur, and Matt Harpring are suspended until mid-January"

 

I think this can be done after the game by review the replay if a team files a complain.

 

Makes you wonder why NBA does not setup such an easy system? It would take care of flopping 100%.

 

I heard on the radio that David Stern mentioned in a interview that if he could, he would try to stop the flop-fest by suspension.

 

Did you all listen to the interview with David Stern?

He said he would like to make it something that they can review and be able to fine or suspend.

He wants to take it completely out of the game.

Also said that Divac made a career out of it.

 

Ha ! Beat ya to it Hayes' lover!

If you flop it should be a technical foul. player will stop flopping and play the game right.

 

Yes, you don't need to make the correct calls in the game, after fact review will stop it cold.

 

"So True!

OK cool. Although, I see some guys with Rookie status who have 1,500 posts

I guess taht's ok. Pretty much every topic I would want to make a thread on is already made when I come in here, no biggy

 

Just barely... we even had the same post time
