Has Adelman Turned our once proud scrappy Rockets team into a bunch of Floppers?

We won.

DD

 

that's not what's important here DD, come on now! Focus!

 

repped.

 

Even when we win people hate..

 

They were already floppers.

Heck, the whole NBA is a flopping league. The refs reward it.

 

Daryl Morey has mentioned an emphasis on bringing in players that have a knack for getting to the free throw line. Guys that do this that aren't truly dynamic players are generally floppers.

 

Exactly. Thread closed.

 

Stop the presses

 

The OP actually has a legitimate point, just poor timing after a Rockets win. Had we lost, then people would give it more thought.

But on the subject, yeah we definitely have a team with a lot of floppers.. It pisses me off to see Lowry or Scola try to flop and get a call, and then the offensive player blows right by them for an easy lay-up. That's inexcusable. But what the hell, most of the league does it anyway..

 

What do you want us to do,

You want people like Scola, Battier and Hayes with a combined vertical of like 15 inches to go up there and volleyball spike like Dwight Howard.

 

In this thread: a bunch of people who dont care how the rockets win.


As long as we win as a bunch of p*****s...ALL IS GOOD YEAH

 

Eh, I really don't see Chuck flopping too much. As for Battier, there's a difference between flopping, and anticipating the hit. When you see Battier sliding his feet and hitting the floor when the player runs into him, it's more of him showing the ref that he had the right position, not so much that he wants a call that shouldn't be there.

Also, when does Yao flop? It seems like a lot of your "Flops" are mistaken as charges. Also, IMO Scola has gotten a bit better about his flopping. There is nothing wrong with pump faking, and jumping towards the player if he even jumps slightly towards you in the air attempting to block your shot. EVERY player does that when he gets a player into the air.

As for Lowry/Martin, yes it gets annoying.

 

Rockets have been flopping since JVG's last season as coach.

 

I'd say Battier and Scola have been flopping for a few years now.

 

sometimes it's too much...i dont like flopping when you have a legitimate chance to contest a shot well, but you have to use the game in your favor and that includes using the refs. If they have shown they can be tricked or that they'll count flops as fouls, then you have to use it to your advantage..otherwise other teams will and they'll always have that over you.

 

They finally got a win. I dont care how they got it. a wins, a win :grin:

 

Other teams flop Yao out of games when he plays so why shouldn't we do it. That is how he's been defended through out the years when he was almost unstoppable. Have we forgotton?

 

I was never a fan of Rick Adelman in the first place. Rockets were a respected defensive team when Jeff Van Gundy was here. *sigh*

 

your observations are sound padowan.


the rockets defense is poor.

whats even worse is when we flop and the opponent still scores. i think it ignites the other team.

not a kevin martin fan...
