You really have it in for Paul don't you.
Crimson. I already said LA's not a legit contender...you said SA is and that LA "doesn't have a chance to beat SA"
If SA doesn't get out of the second round...or the first for that matter or loses to LA...I expect a no-excuses, no-bullshit acceptance of your insane "you're a fool we're contenders" nonsense you've been spewing for years now.
At the very least, admit it for this year

Sorry Adam, but Fish's flops weren't of the same caliber as what you got going on right now with the Clips.
He'd take a cheap charge here and there, but they were nowhere as shameless as the stuff Blake is pulling... nor were they as frequent.
Not to mention Blake Griffin is supposed to be a power forward.

how odd, a laker fan mocking a soft power forward.
He had shoulder surgery his rookie year.
Kobe/Pau/Bynum don't flop. Nash is "soft" too, he largely avoids contact for obvious reasons...but he's not a flopper either. There's a difference
Fisher's flops were classy flops.
B-Griff's flops are all bitchmade flops.
Clippers Culture™
Verbal flopping is still flopping, brah.

Oh snap, never thought I'd see the day where a member of Kings Age defended the Purp and Gold.

Nash breaks his nose for fun, he ain't soft.
He is a crap defender and uses his speed and change of direction to pick apart defenses. He isn't avoiding contact cause he's soft, he does it cause it would slow him from penetrating and forcing switches.
All foreign white players are soft...don't ruin the stereotype with your reasoning..
Let's be honest. The Clippers have two of the top 5 floppers in the NBA right now. I've got these five (no particular order):
- Blake Griftin'
- Chris Paul
- DeMarcus Cousins
- Luis Scola
- Anderson Varejao
I'd never think that I'd put Ginobili, Kevin Martin, or Fisher out of the top 5, but Flop City has taken them out of the running. DMC is particularly awful though. His whole defensive strategy revolves around taking charges.

Gasol is soft because, well, he is soft. Nothing to do with Euro or not. Gasol whose position demands that he takes it hard inside, that he defends well, that he can handle getting shoved, etc. IS SOFT. Nash is a PG. He isn't supposed to be a banger, he's suppose to use angles and holes to penetrate and dish. Gasol is just soft.
I think DMC is a stretch to put on the list.
other than that, no complaints.
Some of the past greats have slipped. AK47, Boozer, Ginobli.
Boozer? dude never cared about defense enough to flop.
DMC is at least a defensive flopper, at least when they call a charge i don't have to watch free throws.
Wade should be in there for Cousins in that list.
I can't wait for the Jazz to re-up on their cyclical dose of floppers so jeff can watch the kind of play he truly seems to enjoy.
Though to be fair, the Argentinian contingency (manu, scola) puts many floppers to shame. They both get outflopped by their counterparts on the Clippers though.

Ginobili is easily a top 5 flopper. He just mostly flops on offense.
Harden is similar, too.

Wade doesn't flop that much in the regular season. He's a playoff flopper.
He wasn't overly dramatic like some of the others, but he'd take a tumble if a stiff breeze came his way on offense.
Only if it doesn't interfere with him screaming, "and 1!"
Exactly, if it was a euro thing why is it that no one considers Marc soft? I always think of that when people try to defend Pau's softness by using the euro=soft bullshit.

His flops are less unbearable this year and he's generally very fun to watch now, but Harden is the top flopper in the NBA.
Harden isn't nearly as best as Westbrook though. Harden will at least try to make a play. Westbrook runs into the lane half the time the sole intent of flopping not even trying to do anything.
If you wanted to do a top 10 list, you would include hard, and YNB. But top 5?
Those guys again usually only flop on offense.
The top5 guys do it on both ends, a lot.

LMAO@ the people on the other page acting like they knew the Mavs had a good chance to win it all last year. Get. The. Fuck. Out.
Almost no one took that team seriously as contenders going into the playoffs. Period. I don't have enough hair follicles on my head to count how many times people claimed Rick Carlisle was one the worst coaches of all time and how they couldn't win shit because of his idiocy. And it wasn't just Brandy either, so don't even try that fucking bullshit...
Now all of a sudden people wanna act like they knew they had a good chance all along?? Ahaahahahah

Sure but that Mavericks team was different than this Lakers team. Lakers will be lucky to get into the second round and will need a miracle to get into the the conference finals. It would take baby Jesus high fiving baby Muhammad giving birth to baby Joseph Smith and all three forming a tripod with rainbows shooting out of their hands blanketing the world with skittles for the Lakers to get into the finals.
I had Heat/Mavs in the Finals.

When did you make that proclamation?
Right after the conference finals wrapped up.

Curious, do you think Lakers can beat the Spurs in a series?

Nope. I will take the Spurs depth over the Lakers trio and that assumes that Gasol will actually show up this time.

What? I mean, I'm not saying Lakers are going to win it all, but wasn't it pretty much the same for Mavs? Almost no one thought Dirk would be shooting the lights out throughout that run and win the championship.

Did you think the 2010 Celtics would make the finals?
Also, depth doesn't mean much in the playoffs. In fact, deep teams almost always fizzle out since top 6 is all that really matters.

The Mavericks had shooters which the Lakers don't have. That goes a long way. Yes, they got hot at the right time but I don't see this Lakers squad being as thin as it is being able to do shit in the playoffs.
Won't be sad.
That team was a surprise in that they beat Miami.
LA making it to the WCF would be a shock

What an honest working American.
Even in all his "Softness", he has taken us to the promised land twice. He's game is more celebral and skillful than aggressive. More so like nash.

Dallas was the underdog for three of their four series. I was more supportive of their players than most and still had them losing in the first-round which is pretty embarrassing in retrospect...

Nash is a tough son of a bitch. Gasol is just, well, you get it. I appreciate what he has done for us but just calling it like I see it.
