Flopping does suck. But if you can make it work, it is a necessary evil

frick that. It shouldn't be a viable strategy. League should eradicate it

The armbar was a foul without the embellishment. But I suppose the fake bullshite is effective in convincing the stupid refs. It sucks though




I'm way late to the party, and I didn't see the play, but if you're LeBron James and you only react when you're truly hurt, you won't get a single call. Ever.

Don't get me wrong, some of the flops are ridiculous, but the idea that he gets superstar calls is absolutely ridiculous. He legitimately gets fouled on most drives to the basket and still only takes 6-8 FTAs per game on average.

It was an offensive foul and it was very clear warding off with the arm. I think he could've gotten the call without the histrionics

Fair, but they'll need to call fouls accurately. Does flopping suck? Yes. Does it make up for the multitude of missed fouls that occur during the game? Yes.

God Delly must be on aggravating SOB to play against. D-ing up Lowry while the ref is bringing the ball back down the court.

I decided to mow the grass in a completely new direction tonight to switch up the juju in this series. To the handful of true Cavs fans on this board, you're welcome.

Your sacrifice is appreciated. If they make the finals I expect you to cut your grass every game day, and if they win, expect your grass to be cut every Saturday in the fall as well.

That is my point. The flops suck but if you go out there and play like a tough guy and just deal with the calls, you'll get hacked relentlessly.

Think about pick up basketball. The teams I've played on never, ever called a foul. It was sort of like a point of pride for us, but we were hacked like a mofo as a result. Eventually that gets frustrating, and I'd imagine it is exponentially so if you're an NBA player in the playoffs.

LeBron James shooting 50% from the field in the 1st half.

LeBron James has the second worst FG% on the Cavs thus far.
