I thought they were suppose to start looking at these floppers and limit the number of times they make a call b/c someone flies across the floor when he gets his jersey tugged.  THere are times during the game where it's just impossible to remain interested b/c everyone wants to fall to the ground if a guy runs to close to him.

Plus, what's with all of the tripping calls?  If a guy is standing still and you stumble b/c you step on his foot; its not a foul on the defender.  He has just as much right to that space as the guy w/ the ball.  I relaize these are great athletes, but it is also possible that they can trip on their own feet.  It's getting to a point that all it takes is for a player to fall to the ground and he will immediately get the other team in foul trouble.

The NBA needs to look into this NOW and start penalizing these floppers and stop blowing the whistle b/c a guy trips on his own feet and he's near a defender.

sorry for the rant, just had to ramble on about how painful it is to watch some of these games.

yeah man i agree.......i absolutely hate Flops....and FLOPPERS, i think they need to hire refs that have degrees in pgysics that can competantly judge the likelihood of player flying that far from the type of hits they're taking......because in these playoffs all you gotta do is falldown after a shot, or turnover etc. and you'll get a foul.....also Alot of plaers are flopping on the offensive rebs, mainly the players with position, instead f trying to grab the rebs they make it seem as though they were pushed......it all has no business in the game

Great post Chris, I couldn't agree with you more. Flopping is definitely ruining this game and it needs to be stopped. I just don't get how a guy who's tall get run over by a guy who's short. It's a disgrace and should be done away with.

Yeah, even the NHL has a rule against that.
