I think in the off-season the NBA should take a hard look at their "flop" standards. I think they should proactively start trying to get this new fad out of the game. It won't be easy, but I would be in favor of them calling flops as a safety net, even if they are wrong, that way it would really give incentive for guys to not fake the contact.


BTW, I think they should do this in soccer (American soccer anyway) too.

AGREED! They just need to watch SA tape and model off it. I can't stand watching them because of that crap!

One problem I noticed is favoritism. Since the spurs are champions and consistently a good team, it's like they can do no wrong. I've seen dozens of plays that should have been fouls against them, or not fouls for them, but it's like the refs are rooting for them to win. tsk tsk
 
WASHINGTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was an awesome win!!!! Lebron shouldn't have played with the ball so much. It was his fault.

BTW, why does celtic stadium look like someone set off a smoke bomb?
 
What I thought was funny was on the possession before that last missed lay-up by Lebron, he had the ball coming down the court, and gave it up to West and then Joe Smith. Interesting how he didn't want the ball then...

Also, in the Boston vs. Atl game, that flagrant they called against Horford was bogus. He obviously went for the ball, they just have to protect their boy KG.

NBA and ESPN have invested too much $$ in KG and the big 3 propaganda to not let the celtics get to at least the conference finals. Shame...

hahaha interesting theory....but i dont really think ATL could stop them anyways...
 
No, they couldn't, but at least call the game right. I mean Horford made the play the announcers are always begging for "If your gonna foul him, make sure he can't get the shot off" and thats what he did. He went for the ball, KG protected it, so Horford brought him down so he couldn't put the shot up. I though it was a great defensive play, and they give him a flagrant. Garbage.

BTW, Horford is gonna be a great player IMO.
