to be fair, there was legit contact on a few of those. a couple were exaggerated, yes, but the whistle could have been blown regardless. solomon jones clearly slipped. you can see he lost his footing when he was back pedaling and just came down awkwardly. i don't see what advantage he'd have of falling down there

some others? pretty blatant. there's a reason that stigma and nickname follows that team

clearly an unbiased vid, lol. also, memphis shot more FT's. you take away cp3's flops/FT's, they're just a crappy FT shooting team. i don't think a winning strategy is sending yourself to the line so you can convert 57%

also, wtf was that recorded with? night vision goggles?

1st- Not a flop... that's called taking a charge. Happens all the time in this league.
2nd- Couldn't tell from that shitty angle, but there might've been some contact on the shot contest
3rd- Definitely contact on Mo
4th- Definitely contact on Jones
5th- Chauncey just fell after shooting an awkward shot... happens
6th- Can't tell from this distance
7th- Hitting the ground when you're going for the ball isn't uncommon either

I'm convinced that people are either mad about the Clippers winning, trying to troll their fans, or simply don't watch or understand the sport. Or they don't understand what a "flop" is.

Definitely. This has been going on for weeks and it's funny. I always thought when the Clippers were good people would be happy. I never expected this kind of backlash. To where fans of the LAKERS and HEAT of all teams are making flop videos of the Clippers every game.

In which they don't even include legit flops. These are legit contact fouls. I mean people are including slips and diving for loose balls? That's how you know they are desperate. Griffin has been getting bloody noses, scraped knees and hit in the eye every other game yet people say he's flopping and didn't get touched. Explain the blood? Look at the scars on his arms and scratches every game.

It worked in the first half. Only thing that changed was Clippers defense. Also the defense forced them into those 3's obviously but locking up the paint more. As for the Grizzlies vs the Clippers.... Zach and Gay haven't proven they can co exist. Gay did best before Zach got there... and Zach had a breakout when Gay was out. Don't play paper rosters.

The Clippers are nowhere near peaked or gelled. If they were a cohesive unit it would of been a 30 point blowout win the way it was going.

Stats from last year before Rudy gay's injury after playing together for 54 games.
Rudy gay: 20/6/3 on 47%FG and 40%3pt (Superior numbers to this season without Zbo)
Zach Randolph: 20/13 49%

Did you watch the playoffs? Or are you just using Basketball reference to make a point? Didn't the Grizzlies have a higher winning percentages after Gay went down last year? Basketball isn't legos. You don't just plug something in and say OMG that means we are going to add 20/6/3 to what we already have. It means Gasol and Conley are going to go back to a reduced role etc.

Changes the composition of the team and by no means guarantees the Grizzlies will be significantly better. Chances are they improve some due to depth increase.... but Zach can be quite the black hole on offense. We saw lately when guys like Melo sit on bench and their team dominates. That's because guys were swinging the ball.

Both Gay and Randolph have black hole tendencies and can't pass for sh**. Not exactly a power combo.

You didn't prove me wrong. You showed me stats to explain a basketball situation... which is a big failure on your part. Good stats doesn't mean they are co existing well. Randolph thrived in the playoffs and carried the Grizzlies because he was the undisputed man on that team with Gay out and he even implied that himself.

BTW you may want to shore up on that reading comprehension. "Haven't proven" is not the same as "can't". Haven't proven implies that they haven't done it yet on a large enough sampling size. Good stats for 54 games doesn't mean jack. When I watched them with Gay last year it looked like two black holes who couldn't decide on who was THE guy.

Who was going to take the last shot etc. Similar to Wade and Lebron they seemed like they had that let's take turns approach. That's not cohesive.

Flagrant foul. I honestly was happy he did that. Marc Gasol hit Griffin in the face and gave him a bloody nose (Griffin was on floor for like 30 seconds) and the Grizzlies tried to push the ball to take advantage of a 5-4 break. I would of actually hit him harder for that sh**. It's not sportsmanlike at all. It's like if a guy loses his shoe and you run a break to take advantage of that. Straight pus*y shit.

Memphis Last year with Gay and Zbo both playing:
30-24

Memphis without Gay but Zbo playing:
16-12

Again last year with both players on the court in 30wins:
Rudy Gay: 20/6/3.2 49%FG
Zach Randolph: 22/12/2.5 55%FG

Now please STFU you retarded homer.

I agree it's a tough situation. Refs should of taken a 30 second ref timeout considering he was bleeding (not sure if they knew it). Or Vinny should have. Even then though.... it's not that the Grizzlies shouldn't keep playing... it's more that a couple times last night they did cheap sh** like that.

One time they had two guys stay in the backcourt (near halfcourt) to cherry pick... and when the Clippers scored... they launched the ball down for the cherry pick. Good thing Caron delivered a hard foul and threw his ass to the floor for that. I'm not saying you shouldn't take advantage of easy buckets but the way they did it a couple times yesterday rubbed me the wrong way.

Came off as unsportsmanlike to me... just like Foye's clothesline :cheers: .

L2R. I explained it already. I never stated they had bad stats playing together. I said they haven't proven they can play well together. Posting 54 games of stats doesn't prove squat when they are both black holes who like to score. I already explained this.

Them taking turns scoring isn't cohesive at all. They clearly haven't decided who's THE guy on that team yet. I honestly think Gay would of shot them right out of the playoffs against the Spurs. Obviously with Gay... Randolph wouldn't of gotten the touches to dominate like that.

Gay is a nice player... but there is more to basketball than stats. Him and Zach both want to be a first option and obviously that's not possible. The same way Wade and Lebron have had to sort through some of that... Zach and Gay are going to have to.

Hell the Grizzlies even dangled Gay as trade bait for a while and weren't sure they were going to keep him. If Grizzlies fans deny this.. they are in denial just like you.

BTW the Grizzlies were what 3 or 4 percentage points better with Gay? OMG on pace for 3 more wins, that's amazing!

For the record, the MAIN reason the grizz got better last year was Tony Allen starting.

It was not Rudy Gay getting hurt. Grizzlies played a bunch of games with Gasol-Zbo-Gay-Allen-Conley last year and they raped a bunch of teams.

This year we haven't had a healthy team. Arthur went down, and before we could get Cunningham, Speights, and Haddadi into the rotation, Zbo and Conley got hurt.

Now Speights and Cunningham are finding their roles.

During crunchtime we had trouble getting buckets and it would've been nice to have Zbo there

I can agree with this. Allen was HUGE. I'm not even necessarily trying to say without Gay they are better. Just saying people need to be realistic. Don't act like getting Randolph back means there is going to be some huge leap. Gasol has been dominant... and when Zach gets back and he's sharing the paint.. that will stop. It's all about how things mesh. You gain something and lose something.

Everything has a price. Whether it be chemistry, stats etc.

So you admit you never watched the Grizzlies by quoting stuff supposedly fans and some experts said? How about this season with Zbo out and Gay playing Memphis still is doing good?
Grizzlies did not drop performance because their whole team chipped especially Marc Gasol who had not been involved in the offense much before.

Not sure what this proves. The only comment you disputed at first was me saying "Zbo and Gay haven't proven they can co exist together". I don't mean that literally as in they can't be on the same team though. I should of specified that I meant they won't hit their potential with each other. They don't play off each other or make each other better like you'd expect of your one two punch.

You can't make teammates better if you don't pass and neither like to pass. I think a recent hot streak where they beat one playoff caliber team doesn't prove they have played good. They finally play a good team in the Spurs in lose. Another good team coming off a back to back in the Clippers and they lose again.

Im not a newer fan, i used to live in Memphis a couple years back like 5 or 6 now. Doubt all you want lol. It doesn't matter to me man.

GIVE ME A LIST OF WHO THOSE GRIZZLY FANS ARE. The good thing about being a grizzly fan is you know the REAL ones and the ones you fabricate from your mind. Especially after the Thunder series, we were all ecstatic of how we could've beaten them with a healthy Rudy Gay, since nobody outside of Conley could create off the dribble. GTFO here with that BS

I'm not American does that mean I cant comment on an American Basketball?
apparently that makes u not a "true" fan lol. :facepalm Support who you want, it makes no difference. Wish i had a durant sonics jersey

Im not a newer fan, i used to live in Memphis a couple years back like 5 or 6 now. Doubt all you want lol. It doesn't matter to me man. Fans can be universal, u always hear stories of fans from all over. really has no relation to how dedicated or true of a fan you are. You need to stop caring so much about the internet.

I'm asking you about a personal, off the internet question and that's me caring about the internet? :oldlol: . So you've been a fan like 5 or 6 years? So you are telling me you were a fan back when the Grizzlies were a laughingstock like the Clippers?

Battier, Gasol, Warrick, Mighty Mouse, Lorenzo etc?

CP86,

You've really gone down man. I used to respect you as a poster who stuck with their team no matter what. Now you're just a troll like majority of the Championship Cruise fans.


GIVE ME A LIST OF WHO THOSE GRIZZLY FANS ARE. The good thing about being a grizzly fan is you know the REAL ones and the ones you fabricate from your mind. Especially after the Thunder series, we were all ecstatic of how we could've beaten them with a healthy Rudy Gay, since nobody outside of Conley could create off the dribble. GTFO here with that BS

I didn't say Grizzlies fans here. I'm saying Grizzly fans I've met, Grizzly fans on radio shows (NBA talks), Grizzly fans in Hoopsworld chats etc. There are about 4 Grizzlies fans here that I know including you so obviously I didn't mean here.

I'm not the one who's declined dude. It's a majority of ISH. Trolls are allowed to make constant insulting threads like this. After every Clippers game there are literally 3-4 threads created crying about their flopping yet I'm the bad guy for calling BS?

You have guys in here discrediting every Clipper win with "flopping" yet when they lose it's "See, I told you Clippers suck". It's just a ton of hypocrisy. What's worse is last year the ratio of legit posters to trolls was at least 50/50. Now it's 75 percent trolls with many of the great posters I liked/respected leaving due to the BS here.

I'm not judging you for how long you've been a fan. I'm trying to see it from your perspective. If you weren't the same way last year. Maybe not here... but weren't you extremely excited and possibly jumping the gun a bit when your team went from laughingstock to Cinderella story of the NBA?

It's an exciting time for Clippers fans right now and they are acting no differently than Bulls, Grizzlies, Thunder and Heat fans in recent years. Once people stop doubting and trashing the Clippers.. I'll settle down. Once people admit "Hey they are good".

Another thing is Grizzlies fans have never gotten the same backlash. Nobody expected the Grizzlies to do what they did and when they did people embraced them. With the Clippers they became hated over night due to ignorant fans. They blamed the Clippers that they got CP3. They blamed the Clippers that the analysts predicted championships.

You have rappers making "Flop city" songs. That's how mad and hateful people are. So you can't blame me for being on the defensive about my team. We are getting treated more like the Heat fans than Grizzly or Thunder fans. None of us predicted titles right away. If the media predicts big things there shouldn't be people taking that out on the fans...

Memphis without Gay but Zbo playing:

Again last year with both players on the court in 30wins:
Rudy Gay: 20/6/3.2 49%FG
Zach Randolph: 22/12/2.5 55%FG

Now please STFU you retarded homer.

Flagrant foul. I honestly was happy he did that. Marc Gasol hit Griffin in the face and gave him a bloody nose (Griffin was on floor for like 30 seconds) and the Grizzlies tried to push the ball to take advantage of a 5-4 break. I would of actually hit him harder for that sh**. It's not sportsmanlike at all. It's like if a guy loses his shoe and you run a break to take advantage of that. Straight pus*y shit.
Oh cmon, no team ever stops to wait for another team's injured player.

Thing is, you defend your team to the point where your homerism shows pretty hard. I'm not really blaming you, but its obvious why other posters try to jump on that.

Clippers will earn respect when it's due, they haven't done anything yet. 10-6 is an okay record, but they've still been eased into the season more than any other team. 12 of their 16 games have been played in LA. Their true road games include

@GS win
@Spurs loss
@Portland loss
@Utah loss

Let them go on a nice road trip and see how strong of a team they are. Let's see what they've done after their next 10 games where 8 of them are on the road. I think they have tons of potential, but they will eventually be brought down by Vinny.

1st- Not a flop... that's called taking a charge. Happens all the time in this league.
2nd- Couldn't tell from that shitty angle, but there might've been some contact on the shot contest
3rd- Definitely contact on Mo
4th- Definitely contact on Jones
5th- Chauncey just fell after shooting an awkward shot... happens
6th- Can't tell from this distance
7th- Hitting the ground when you're going for the ball isn't uncommon either

I'm convinced that people are either mad about the Clippers winning, trying to troll their fans, or simply don't watch or understand the sport. Or they don't understand what a "flop" is.

If those are considered flops, then what is everything that Kobe, Fisher, Manu, Wade, LeBron, Pierce, Divac back in the day, Webber, Gordon, Maggette, Nash, Calderon, Artest, Pau, Parker, Melo, Amare, etc. do considered?

Let's also ignore the fact that despite the Clippers doing about the same amount of flopping as the rest of the league and less than some teams such as the Heat and Lakers, they hardly get any of those calls either.

You guys are just looking for a reason to bitch about Blake and the such, which shows that the Clippers are becoming a legit force in the association and is enjoying for me and other Clipper fans, such as DaB0yEch0 and others, that have been through years of mediocrity.

Edit: Clippers have a positive record despite being the 5th worst rebounding team in the league. Once they figure that out, then oh me oh my.

If the Heat and Lakers flopped as much as the Clippers then they would hold the title flop city and not the Clippers. Do you even watch the games of these teams? The Heat RARELY flop.

The Clippers get ridiculous calls on their home court. And there were SEVERAL no calls that benefited the Clippers.

Do you watch them play? Being a Clipper fan, I have a dislike of the Lakers naturally, but also being an L.A. native, I root for all L.A. teams (sans USC unless its the basketball side in the big dance and non-conference play), so yes, I do watch the Lakers quite a bit, as do I the Heat with all the national games they they get and if what the Clippers are doing is considered flopping, then yes, what Fisher, Kobe, Pau, Barnes, Artest, LeBron, Bosh, Wade, etc. do is also considered flopping and they get the calls more often than the Clippers do.

I have League Pass and I watch almost all the games with bigger market teams involved, every night. Why would I even be on this forum if I didn't watch basketball..

Last night the Clippers got everything handed to them. The goaltending call, CP360, several out of bounds plays that went the wrong way. Clippers were allowed to foul the hell out of players with no call..etc. etc.

Here is the thing that is frustrating, Chris Paul and Mike Conley were tied for the league lead in steals, one gets all the superstar calls and almost no fouls called against him, the other fouls out. I've watched Conley for years now and the only other time I can remember him fouling out was last years triple OT game in the playoffs against the Thunder. Griffin and Paul get the superstar calls and the Grizzlies don't, it's not the only reason they lost the game but it didn't help. Also the non call goal tending on Conley's floater by Jordan was an absolute joke and would have cut the game to 2 points if I remember correctly.

Home teams always get the advantage, and as a Clipper fan, I agree its frustrating but it is the way the league works. The game against the Lakers, I'd say they got away with more/the benefit of the doubt more than the Clippers did and that has never changed. During the Brand years, there were times where he'd have 4 hands slapping the shit out of him, but wouldn't get the call and so on. I have never said the Clippers never flop, but to say they flop more than the Lakers/Heat is a joke imo.

Gasol knocked Griffin in the face and elbowed DJ, but there wasn't a single Clipper fan crying about that. Also-- that one play where Griffin dunked it and Gasol immediately threw an outlet pass to (can't remember the guy's name... the one Randy Foye clotheslined) was illegal as he wasn't even behind the line when he threw it. It led to a flagrant 1 being called against us and put you guys right back in the game.

There were a bunch of missed called last night but to say one team benefited from them more than the other one did is foolish.
