Then lay on the floor with their hands in there air looking for a foul, while the play moves on and the opposing team, now with an open man on offense, makes an easy basket.

Get up and play the game of basketbal.

aren't you a Raptors fan? That post doesn't seem to coincide with the type of players the Raptors have and the way they play. I mean you have Anthony flopper Parker on your team and rasho the flopper.

btw, isn't that MJ commercial great?

Just because I am a fan of a team doesn't mean I won't call out people who flop to get calls.

It really is Lambeer's fault, and then Divac, Mutumbo, Zo, and Sabonis took it even further.

As soon as people started flopping against shaq and getting calls that is when the slippery slope began.

How couldn't the suns have predicted this "Hack a shack" strategy, as cheap and unsportsmanlike it is, would be used against them in the playoffs?

"this is when your history as a flopper works against you".

rofl.

Detroit thought they could walk into the series and win. They were wrong. Then when Billups said "Game three isn't a must win", it's obvious their heads are not in the right place.

I hope Philly kicks them out of the playoffs.
