    Not sure "Never" applies. When Dame is out, he has the ball in his hands almost constantly even when Turner is in there with him.

    I notice Stotts has taken to adding Naipier to the lineup so yes I think never really does apply now.

    You TRULY are using speculation here. You have NO facts whatsoever. You're just assuming. How the hell do you know what's said to our players? That's right, you don't.

    Now you've admitted to the whole forum that this post is a lie? (and needs a question mark)

    As long as he's getting calls, then he can take flopping lessons from Harden himself for all I care.

    No, I'm sure you would much rather the flopping be eliminated completely from the game.

    There's a big difference between being bad at defense and not trying on defense.

    I admit it's not dignified, but.....if they work, are you really going to complain about them?

    If it gets him to the line, frustrates the opponent, gets the opponent in foul trouble/ejected, and gets us points on the board, then I really don't give a shit about how undignified it makes him look.

    And let's be honest with ourselves: it's not like he's taking pussy shots here. For fuck's sake...he had an entire bridge knocked out of his mouth last season. And since then, he's taken at least 2 elbows directly to the face that I can think of off the top of my head.

    Call him a flopper if you want. But it's not nearly on the level of a Harden flop. Nurk actually EARNS the flop.

    In the grand scheme of things people don't get technical fouls in flop situations. Millsap last night had every reason to complain about that bullshit offensive of foul call when Nurk flopped. It was a terrible call. Nurkic flopped on the layup where got swatted too. That was an excellent block and penalizing it does a disservice to basketball. I think it's kind of shameful that people will complain about the flopping of Harden and Chris Paul and take them to task over it, bu then when one of ours flops (and I don't give a damn if it's nurkic or not) people in here are actually supporting it...

    Its shameful. And justifying it by minimizing it comparing it to Hardens flops is not a good debate tactic. If you take this stance you have no room to complain about flopping.

    I hate that bullshit and it needs to be taken out of the game.

    Short answer--yes. Flopping sucks, even if it's a guy on my team who's doing it.

    So this is how he admits about his back issues roughly 2-3 weeks after Jason Quick breaks the news on Talkin'Ball? Classy!
