    Pictures...and all you had to do was be a Piston Fan last year to see them.
    Sorry, kiddo, I have not seen Manu-type flopping out of Ben. And you can't produce a picture.

    If they have enough pictures of Manu doing flops, he is probably really guilty of it! Maybe it was classless to show there, but maybe it is time for Manu to stop doing it too. Not only are the Mavs onto it, so are lots of other teams!
    You ever consider adding "blond" to your screen name?
    Just a thought.

    Doubtful. There will need to be a rule change. Probably something similar to soccer, where "embellishment" is punished with a caution (yellow card). Maybe the NBA could assess a foul or even a T. These refs are having a hard enough time calling normal fouls, there need to be some consequences for these floppers so they straighten up.
    I didn't get to attend the game where they showed the video...too bad. Maybe it was more of a tribute to Vlade, the father of modern flopping. Then it showed the passing of the torch to Manu, who has taken it to new levels. It could have ended with the rest of the league (Dirk included) starting to flop after noticing how the horrible refs still have not caught on. It's to the point where 7', 280-lb centers are flopping when a PG touches them during a drive...yuck.


    Decent idea, Detroit fan. I like that one.


    "Pop should tell Manu to give Oberto (is that his name? or is that beef jerky? whatever) some lessons though. When Jet Terry barely touched him with his arm in Game 3, he kind of wobbled for an uncomfortable second, looked at the ref, then decided to fall...almost too late to get the call. More practice and pointers from Manu would clean that right up.

    HA HA!! That was funny! Spurs seem to have the edge on flops!

    How's that? Given to me by a Rockets fan when I said something about Manu flopping too much and getting too many free throws for it. Are you particularly guilty of this with the Mavs?

    Pretty bad...I mean Manu is clearly up in the air right there and he is getting hit...how is that a flop?

    Oh his facial expressions?

    Take a look at Ben Wallce's facial expression right here:




    And here....




    Clearly flopping.

    Oh and ironically...


    I typed in Ben Wallace Flop in Google and got a VIDEO of just that:

    It's the last play of the clip...the most blatant flop you will ever see.

    As you know...if Video proof of it exists...the player should stop doing it.

    I don't know what's funnier...

    A fan of a team that Bill Lambeir once played for getting all high and mighty about flopping...

    The fact that you claimed you weren't a bimbo and then proceeded to think you could find a picture of a flop, to say that if a video of something exists it must cons ute proof, and that you seem to think of Mark Cuban as some kind of objective voice. Oh the irony.


    I hate to tell you this...but you could make a video that would make Ben Wallace look like a scoring champion...that doesn't mean he is one.

    Flopping is flopping, and many players do it, including Detroit players. But if he need to go into the style of flopping, then Dallas needs to look at themselves because Dirk also uses the soccer style hair flop, much used among foreign players.

    I am sorry I don't have a video, and you might know that Spurs fans would look at that picture of Manu and think he is not flopping! Is that Nowitzki behind him? Looks like it. There is no one else around him. Are you going to tell me that he just ran up and hit him so hard he flew in the air like that? Don't be silly!! It was a flop, and knowing Manu he got a foul call for it. I think that is the most frustrating thing about it, he flops like he does there and gets free throws for it. I looked at the footage of Ben and it looks like he flopped, I will grant you. But Yao did bury an shoulder into him too. But, for your sake we will call it a flop. Ben got no free throws on it either if you noticed.

    Regarding the pictures up there. In the first one it looks like Ben lost control of the ball to whoever is behind him (no flopping) and this time I don't know who that is. The second picture of Ben and Tim. It looks like Tim is climbing on Ben to get the score. To be honest with you it looks like hurts more than anything. He could have gotten a foul for that.

    I don't think what Cuban did was objective. I think he may have been tired of it and so he made fun of it. Maybe most teams flop, but in all honesty, the Spurs really hold the corner on that.

    And just so you know, the bimbo thing is out. No woman in her right mind appreciates it. (no jokes, please)

    Highly biased, unprovable and subjective BS snipped
    On to the important stuff...

    Are you hot? If you send me a pic and are, I'll apologize. I'll mean it too...and I'll be genuinely sorry about the whole ordeal. Seriously. Sincerely.

    I'd apologize in advance but I learned the hard way to be wary of the nicname "babe" on the internet.

    Ben Wallace anyone? Oh right, he doesn`t fall in this category because he`s not 7 feet tall...

    But the truth is that everyone flops, not just Manu. Flopping is part of the game.

    I wonder if cuban is doing it to influence the refs because they see the video along with the crowd. I am not a very big fan of the billionaire whiner and complainer.. Big Ben gets knocked down all the time by point guards..Silly to see piston fans deny it.

    Obviously it didn't work because Manu got two puss flop calls late in the 4th.

    I wish our front office would be brave enough to give up their class and go target an opposing player, for a cheap laugh
    There is a reason why the Spurs organization ranks at the top with most of the players in this league.

    You can tell all that from a still picture? Wow, I'm impressed. Ben's main man on defense against quality bigs in the post is the flop. He's the modern day Vlade of post defenders.

    I was at the game too. What was even funnier was after they played that clip Manu got fouled a few plays later and everyone was claiming it was a flop. The clip didn't really have any impact. It showed other players flopping also. So it was a knock on all players flopping with a Manu flare. Just goes to show how much they fear Manu. Thats Respect in a twisted way.

    Cuban is the reason why I hope the Mavs never win a championship. They better hope they do it in the next year or so because that window will shut and not open for another 20 yrs..I hope the Mavs organization suffers many more years of pent up frustrations soley because of Cuban...

    Can anyone imagine if a all 30 owners stepped on the court to chew out refs? Continually criticize officials with tapes and blogs? The league would be out of control if we had 30 mark cubans..

    Cuban driving 29 other team's fans crazy is the reason he's great...

    They better hope they do it in the next year or so because that window will shut and not open for another 20 yrs
    Why's that exactly??? The Mavs are extremely young...
