So what's better: Jodie Meeks or Gary Neal?

I want to say Neal but I wasn't sure.

Neal. He can handle it a bit and shoots better.

 

[linsivvi]

And thats my point. The league changed the rules, the players adapted. If the league isn't going to put a stop to the floppage why the hell should the players? It's the equivalent of unwritten rules in baseball. Until the rules change, fuck the unwritten rules.

So you're saying, blame the police and don't blame the criminal because the police are in bed with them, when in fact you should blame both parties.

I'd trade Bynum so quick for CP3 at this point. Yea, Bynum is more important due to this being the worst era of big men since like, Mikan, but he just angers me so much due to his lethargic and lazy play.

No, my knock against CP3 is the health issue. Nobody knows how long he can play like this. If you're gonna trade that piece of shit that is Bynum, at least find somebody who's more durable.

Oh, I agree. I'm just so tired of Bynums antics. SO. TIRED.

Dwight wants to win. Bynum wants to park in handicap spots.

And last season i was bombarded because i hated flops so much that i suggested the league shouldn´t call offensive fouls on those charges to the basket.

Now i look and see that everybody has had enough with flopping.

So, GAF, how about not calling offensive fould anymore on those situations? Of course that doesn´t mean you can go Karl Malone on the defender (kicking), but it sure as hell would help eliminate flopping.

Players would have to either go for the block or just deal with it.

LeBron and Dwight average 45 PPG each.

That's crazy. Just do post game review and hand out fines and/or suspension. That's more effective that way.

That's entirely different.

Yeah thats the only solution I can imagine. Otherwise were back to the big guys KO'ing people.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

The karma on the Gallo flops was amazing. I agree with post game reviews. I feel like most players would be in favor of that stuff

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Flopping takes talent though. I tried to flop in my rec league and the ref just loled at me

It takes practice. During my last year of college ball I could whip my hair back and forth whenever I wanted.

 

[Srsly]

The constant whining about flopping is a billion times more annoying than the flopping

 

[Nelo Ice]

So speaking of Bynum my friend legitimately thinks Bynum is a superstar and would take him over Dwight. Yeah I face palmed and could not believe what I was hearing. Granted this is coming from the guy who doesn't believe his Clips flop that much and he also wonders why they're so reviled. Of course he also believes many other questionable things such as Richard Jefferson having value and Joe Johnson being a great player.

My dad was constantly teaching me how to sell a charge but I'd go and practice on my jumpshot rather than throw myself on the floor instead.

What do you mean Bynum travels?? What? The offense doesn't stop when he catches it!

Feel real bad for the Bulls....they're snake bit this season and I would've like to see an epic playoff series with Boston at least.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Raja Bell says he probably won't be back next season with the Jazz.

Yeah just a series of unfortunate events sadly.

I don't even know who to root for now.

 

[ratcliffja]

The funny thing is that I think the Clippers would actually be more effective defensively if they relied more on steals than trying to draw the charge. They have played really, really good defense in the 4th quarter of all 3 of their victories this series and that was primarily because they lunged for the ball instead of trying to fall over from a gust of wind. I agree, though, that until the rule changes, it's a valid strategy as long as it works. If they got rid of offensive fouls altogether, you'd be relying a lot more on big guys without much basketball talent whose sole purpose is to be a brick wall. I wouldn't be opposed to post-game fines in theory, but it would be difficult to draw a line to where you'd define an obvious flop versus a deceivingly hard hit.

Good, maybe Ty Corbin will stop putting him at the 1 in NBA 2K12 My Player while my 6'2 PG plays the 2.

A coach putting a SG in at PG? Maybe you're thinking of Thibs or Brooks?

 

[SUPREME1]

Most people are pretty sick of watching flopping, Lakers age just happens to be the biggest contingent of posters here that are still up to watch the games.

Stop making sense.

Looks like no Bell and no CJ next year, that's pretty OK.

real talk. im filipino and every asian league i've played in, nobody plays d and would rather take the charge/flop.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

so how about that Derrick Favors? Man he looks awesome!

Where was G-TYME tho? Dude was worse than Josh Howard this series..

 

[DY_nasty]

Where was G-TYME tho? Dude was worse than Josh Howard this series..

Still playing better than George Hill.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Where was G-TYME tho? Dude was worse than Josh Howard this series..

He did a good job defensively, but nobody had a good offensive series, so I don't think it's worth singling him out.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

..? George is playing incredibly these playoffs. Did you miss the game where he put his team on his back?

He did a good job defensively, but nobody had a good offensive series, so I don't think it's worth singling him out.

As bad as everyone else was on offense, I'd say Hayward was even worse. It was pretty bad bro.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Where was G-TYME tho? Dude was worse than Josh Howard this series..

He ended the last couple games of the regular season on a cold streak and sort of lost confidence in his offense especially with the increased speed of the playoffs.

 

[Nori Chan]

jason richardson one of the hardest hitting guards in the league

cant stop g hill george hill put the team on his back doe

FUCK YOU GUMBY

 

[reilo]

Hayward averaged 7.3PPG on 18FG% in 30.8MPG in the playoffs? Jesus.
