    I'm with you. I want to watch basketball, not circus clowns and con artists. As for the last part of your post: you described the opposite of the OKC and Houston fan base. They are an embarrassment.

    I'll add that the entire rocket bench and coaches would all jump off of the bench to point out every replay shown in the second half.

    How hard is it as a ref to call a game evenly? It's not like any ref ever gets a "#I'msogladScottFosterworkedtonight" shout out, other than the bookies paying him to throw games.

    I realize that books with more than 25 paragraphs can be a challenge.

    Beverley says Damian Lillard "Whines."

    LOL! He had to bring it up to the radio host interviewing him so he could talk shit. God damn what a tool.

    Don't know if this was posted... took a quick gander at the 1st page and saw nothing.

    Not everyone is college educated like yourself. Reading is a challenge for some.

    So now the super defender is not only flopping and grabbing, he's also bragging about it.

    The next time we play the Rockets at home, we should hand out foam bricks to throw at Beverley.

    Where's the eyeroll emoticon when you need it... sheesh... Dame was asked a question and he answered it fully. Not sure how that classifies as "Whining".

    I'm not sure why you'd take this stance. I don't think there's one person in the forum who wouldn't agree with you on this. As a referee I FUCKING HATE FLOPS and I can ALWAYS tell when they happen. NBA Refs are lazy (don't get in position to make the call) and they REGULARLY call out of their primary area (the area they are supposed to be looking at AWAY from the ball).

    I don't give a rat's ass how he spells his name. The douche is a Bitch.

    Has Bitcherley been fined yet for his flop that cost the Blazers the game?

    I didn't think so.

    Don't get me wrong: I hate flopping as much as the next person. I have in fact posted on this forum that fouls should be called for flopping. That being said, this tactic has been the most effective way for a less talented team to win championships since the Showtime L*kers. From Chuck Daly to Pat Riley to Phil Jackson to Gregg Popovich, virtually every championship coach has used this tactic.

    It's not an issue of taking the high ground and hoping the League notices. It's adapting or dying. Right now, we're dying.

    I prefer to adapt.

    ya know the shitty flopping isnt going to go away, and we're just going to have to adapt and join in. Its just the way it is. Bev has a point. We lost, they won.

    I kinda wish we had a junkyard dog mentality with some of our players. I hate having so much finesse players...

    Bosh, LeBron, harden, Beverley, griffin, cp3, Kobe. Interesting all the flop artists are on league favored teams.
