Just Lakers fans? Pretty sure at this point Clippers is one of the most unliked teams in the league due to their flopping ways. By both fans and other teams.

That's like me saying Thuggery is part of Laker culture with Artest and Bynum...

... oh wait.

No, I only see the vitriol on GAF mainly from Lakers fans. So, citation is needed, azn.

Yeah, you didnt watch that era of Lakers then..

Nor the Spurs during their half court era...

Really Blake and CP3 are only two players... But once players see that it works the whole team pitches in...

After watching them for 5 games it is clear they are coached to do it as they all do it (except Butler for what I can tell) and they all do the exact same thing. If it has gotten the point where a team is being coached to flop and it is helping them win in the playoffs the league has to step in next year or it is just going to get worse.

If you have Spurs - Heat in the NBA Finals, you can be sure it will be just like last year when everyone was against the villains.

Seriously though, the NBA needs to start handling fouls to floppers and fine them post game. It's ridiculous to see big man falling down like sissies.

I guess the Clippers are my "Hollywood as Hell" team of choice. If you're going to contend with OKC and the Heat, if that's the goal, your stars are going to have to get flop star calls.

Refs are bound by the rules. Even if someone gets a rep for flopping refs are obligated to call each play as unbiased as possible. Even if a ref witnesses a flop the best they can do is to determine if the play sans flop is whistle worthy. The game being so fast paced puts them in a position to be fooled regularly.

Post game reviews of flops need to be done sooner rather than later to take the pressure off of the refs.

I really don't care. I'd rather have the Lakers meet the Clips rather than Spurs/Memphis if they get out of OKC, but I REALLY thought Memphis would win this series. My God, the breakdowns in GM 1+3.

The prob with the flops is that there is almost no repercussions for doing so; maybe just looking dumb or not helping out your team defend if you commit a TO. Seems like a huge gamble but it's really not... If you get a successful flop, you go to the other line AND the guy defending you gets a foul against him. Honestly, the way that it is set up, I'm surprised there's not that many floppers out there. It's so much BS.

You spit the truth. Respect +1.

I still like CP3 as a player. I just don't think he needs to resort to such incessant flopping in order to do well.

It would make sense if they did better than the Lakers in the regular season, but they didn't.

As it stands both teams are going to be 2nd round fodder anyway.

People just don't like the Clippers. Nearly everyone here are rooting for the Grizzlies. I don't know why some of you keep singling out Laker fans. It's pure BS.

i came into this season hoping some success for the Clips (as long as its below lakers, of course) and as mentioned i'm a huge CP3 fan and I really liked Blake's game. But I'm at the point where I am about to really root against them.

Between them and their color analyst's homerisms, the team is infuriating. At least they haven't corrupted Butler. yet.
I came into this season pretty excited about them but now I have a hard time disliking any team more than them.

Well thats different since he's one of the laziest and dumb players in the league. He couldn't care less about coming to play every night. That isn't the case with CP3. Dude wants to win and is a bonafide leader.

I don't like shit if it's on my favorite team or not. Bynum's a punk for the Barea smash, Metta is a dick for the Harden bow. I would hate to see the team star flopping every which way.

It sucks that Paul does it so often. He was ice cold late in the game last night and yet we're discussing his ballet of flops instead. It takes away from his greatness.

But again, why shouldn't he do shit to help his team if the league is going to let him? I place 100% of the blame on the league for letting him do this shit. He's the equivalent of the troll and there isn't a Bish or Ace to put him in his place :(

It's the stars that matter since they get the calls. No one shed a tear for Galo when he died on the floor. YNB/Harden, Lebron/Wade/Bosh, Paul/Blake, they'll be the ones making the flop difference in the playoffs. I'd include Durant but since the league changed the rules he doesn't try to rip through on jump shots as much.

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.

It's an NBA honor system at this point and CP3 has none. He is a troll and the NBA should crackdown on rules regarding it, but he's still the troll. You can place the majority of the blame on a slow to action league, but he still deserves to be called out and embarassed for his actions.
