      LOLZ.  I’ve watched it so many times. Our seats are behind that basked on an angle toward our bench. Perfect view. I was like WTF?!?!!

        I would support players getting a technical foul for such obvious flopping.

          You can be penalized for hanging from a rim, or celebrating, but when you do something that actually impacts the outcome of a game they let it slide? I completely agree with you. Will it open up a can of worms, and be called a “slippery slope” by some? Possibly, but this is ridiculous behavior that should not occur.

            I think it should be like touching the ball after it goes through the net, give the culprit a “delay of game” type of warning and record it.  That way you put the player on notice that they are flopping and you wont’ stand for it.  Then if he does it again, you can T him up.  I think that would be a step in the right direction toward cleaning that up.  The unfortunate thing is that Refs LIKE to call the offensive foul.  I wish some academic would do a study on the endorphins released in calling an offensive foul, because it is clearly an orgasm moment for most officials.  So it looks like they are just sitting, waiting to make that call.  Maybe they should change the offensive foul signal to something like pat your head and rub your belly at the same time?

              This is a great suggestion.

      Believe it or not that was only the 2nd dumbest thing a basketball player did last night. Anus Kanter broke his arm punching a chair. What a moron.

      had four Oregon fans sitting in front of me.  when he flopped they were yelling for the charge, I told them Brooks is a helluva basketball player but a huge pussy for flopping like that.  Most Oregon fans I’ve met are decent enough, these four made me understand why some may hate them.
