    Seriously? You don't think that shit works? Bill Laimbeer made a living off of being a little bitch, and Detroit made three finals because of him.

    I fucking hate those kinds of players, but as long as they and their style of play is rewarded by the NBA, it's smart to find a few of them.

    Give coaches challenges, 3 a game. If they want a play/call reviewed then they should be able to toss that red flag. Include in reviewable calls: Flopps, Offensive Fouls, Possession out of bounce, being a bitch, and Traveling.

    Of course it works. If it didn't work, they wouldn't keep doing it. :)

    Exactly. The NBA even instituted a foul for flopping, and it's enforced less often than jaywalking.

    IMO, it ruins the game.

    Bitcherly talks shit after fouling. Makes me lol. His antics will be perfect, cant wait for him to piss off dame, aldridge, and wes. I kind of like them when they get angry. Lamonster, dunkian killard, and w3sDy matth3ws come out when they are angry.

    I haven't seen evidence of a pissed off Lillard being a better Lillard. I think he's a guy that likes to play in control, not driven by emotion. Same with Aldridge.

    Remember when golden state started a fight and lamonster lead an epic comeback?

    Everytime dame gets pissed he dunks over the opposing teams 3 tallest players and mad dogs the crowd/their bench

    One occurrence does not a pattern make.

    I love it when he does this, but it doesn't happen more than once in a single game.

    Does that make him better? It's a dunk. He alters the way he plays when he gets pissed. He doesn't play his normal game, but better.

    Dunks in playoffs are important. Especially when a 6' nothing slams one home on a 7' freak of nature. It's disrespectful, and we need to disrespect these flopping bitches.

    BTW, if you guys have noticed, we are one of the few teams (along with prolly SAS and DAL) who call timeouts in the backcourt. We don't do that thing that most teams do where they get the PG to dribble all the way into the front court and call time. Terry just signals it when the ball is taken out of bounds, so it's very unlikely that Beverley will pull this cheap shit on Dame.

    Here was my favorite bit of the piece:

    So Harden receives a warning by the League, Matthews gets a foul and a T and the Rockets get three points.

    And that, my friends, is why flopping works.

    I wonder if Matthews could take Harden to court for his Technical penalty?

    Did you see the "penalties" for flopping? Even the sixth violation is pocket change to Harden.

    I now realize the whole flopping rule was just window dressing, and I fell for it.

    Carry on, NBA. I look forward to watching Premier League Acting over the next two weeks.

    Absolutely, and that is the main reason why I have been hoping Portland adjusts and starts doing the same damn thing. It sucks ass but it works in this days NBA.

    No, I mean Matthews had to pay a fine for getting a technical right? But Matthews was right, it was a bad foul call against him, thus his arguing with the refs was valid.

    No, Westbrook did not start low. he goes from high to low watch the video again without being biased, because I am very un-biased.
    Beverly is already bent over before he goes for the steal. Henceforth he went low and Westbrook went high. Not that hard to see in the videos.

    like wtf I'm defending Westbrook. wtf is this garbage. -.-

    Nope. It was the same play that Westbrook did only the tap was a LOT lighter... That was a fucking FLOP too....

    Please don't compare Bitcherly to Bill Laimbeer. Bill was NO flopper and GAVE punishment. He socked the SHIT outta Barkley. We would have LOVED to have him instead of Duckworth. Yes I said it.
