I love playoff basketball, but goddamn some of these refs are so bad. I have never understood why refs in basketball make the calls they do, and now everyone gets rewarded for flopping.

What bugs me about the NBA is how players get rewarded for lunging at defenders. The biggest beneficiaries of this--Westbrook, Kobe and Rose--are not in the playoffs right now, but it's still a huge problem. If you throw yourself into me, that should either be a charge or a non-foul.
Also, Durant seems to be the only large player that gets these types of calls.

lol at the Knicks... whining after every call when it's clearly a foul

what?
JR Smith and Melo all they do is whine.
Hibbert fucking dominated the paint. and then West completely dominated because Melo cant guard him.

It's a loooong series. I'll be happy to talk trash with you for the duration of it. When the Knicks finally lose to the Heat, feel free to call me a dumbass all you want.

long series? pacers were supposed to get destroyed i thought.
and pacers have the best chance of beating the heat as proven in last years series. it all comes down to whether the refs call lebron's flops or not.

^when Miami beat Indiana by 32 points in game 5 last year, Lebron took 4 (four) free throws. What I distinctly remember from that game is that Miami physically beat up Indiana (especially after Hansbrough elbowed Wade). Miami turned the series into a street fight and beat Indiana at their own game.

search up all the flops from that series from miami and you'll surely be able to find a years worth of good footage.

but the refs clearly favor other player's flops over other player's.
flopping is for bitches it's a known fact.
i like how they made it so if you flop you will get fined now.
only problem is that they fucking rarely enforce it

But Care.. here's the problem. The NBA has been trying to eliminate flopping from the game. You are suppose to be fined if you do it
The only way I can put this is: It's ruining the game of basketball.
It's one thing to get ran over by a player.. because that is a charge. But when a player just graces your jersey and you throw your arms in the air and scream like a bitch like you just got hit by Ray Lewis... well that ruins basketball
A true baller never flops because he doesn't want the footage of him looking like a bitch.. trust me a lot of the players HATE the known "floppers" Ginolbli and Lebron and every single player on the Knicks are the worst
and honestly to anyone who likes flopping.. please stop watching the NBA because you are part of the problem, in fact please stop going to games because I'd rather the league not have your support

Not even close to Ginobli. Not even in the same universe.
He flops every once in a while, but most of the time he gets genuinely pounded, and usually gets little respect from the refs. There is a very pronounced anti-Lebron bias among NBA officials.

Arci you spend more time bitching about the refs than anyone else on here
there's 48 minutes in a game, unless there's more than 10 flops a game you have plenty of chances to make up for it
happens in just about every sport, try watching Premier League sometime
sports that don't have this problem: NHL(for the most part), MLB, NASCAR, Golf, Curling, Dodgeball
fucking cry about it

ive been saying it for years that lebron james has to be sucking the ref's dicks after the games or something because all of his flops the refs reward him for yet his acting is terrible.
i could post a bunch of funny lebron flop gifs if u want.

you could call this bitching about the refs but it's clear and everyone has to admit that the refs control who wins the game a lot of the time with their inconsistent calls and it is a much bigger problem than any other sport besides maybe soccer but i dont watch soccer ive only heard things.

I'm not saying he never flops. But he's been changing his game so that he doesn't have to flop. Luc Mbah a Moute guarded him as good as he's been guarded in this past series and he adapted by getting the rest of his team involved. He waits for the screen and then splits the double team. Or he kicks it out to the corner shooter. Or he flips it to the point guard and either goes up for a lob or sets up on the perimeter. He barely even shoots free throws any more. This year he averaged 7 a game--a career low except for his rookie year.
He's become such a complete player that he doesn't really need to flop.

@23536 - Yeah you're right Ginolbli is by far the biggest flopper that's ever been in the NBA lol
Lebron has had a lot of horrible flops though
