Why do tucks hate it/smart so much?

I wish our players (losers) would do it more. Very effective.

It's just good defense, imo.

It's not just tucks, you rough ridin' idiot. There is a reason that there is such a point of emphasis to get rid of it in the NBA.

It's very fun to watch. I mean we had a guy try to fake an ankle injury against us today. It was great.

It isn't smart. It takes you out of good defensive position more than you actually get a call. Moron Lebryan Nash turned the ball over on a layup trying to draw a call.

Was at work, didn't see the game. If done right, it is smart. Small guards doing it to stop post players or fastbreaks they would otherwise have no shot at stopping is smart. Doing it on offense to get a call is generally very very dumb.

I'm not sure what you mean here, possibly we have a different definition of flopping. It sounds like you are just talking about drawing fouls, you can draw fouls without flopping.

Smart doesn't flop on defense

michigancat · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2014, 06:24:15 PM »

And I have no problem with how Smart plays.

I'm mainly talking about a defender over-exaggerating to take a charge. Because I didn't see the game, my context maybe off. Can be done on offense, OSU did it a couple times last year with the head jerk while we were playing D. Got some crucial foul calls down the stretch with this @ OSU.

smart flops on defense. yes indeed.

and everybody hates floppers. it's cheating and everybody hates cheaters. end of story.

puniraptor · « **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2014, 06:39:18 PM »

I've got lifetimes of butthurt saved up from last year when he pulled angel down on top of him and they called the foul on angel.

I opened this thread expecting dick flopping.
