Does Mike D'Antonio Teach The Suns To Flop?
« on: April 26, 2007, 11:35:34 PM »
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed how EVERY SINGLE PLAYER on the Phoenix Suns blatantly flops. Does anyone think this is part of what Mike D'Antonio teaches in practice or do you think it's a coincidence? I'm thinking this is a primary part of their defense... Because they really do get a lot of calls on flops alone...So what do you think?

So no one has an opinion on why the Suns flop?

Probably because they get the calls. Vlade Divac is one of the greatest of all time when it came to flopping. Laimbeer too.

They flop because they're a bunch of fagots. D'Antonio could suck a dick with aids on the tip.

Yeah that's their "defense". I hate flopping tho. I really hope the league approves that new rule that would give a technical foul to players who flop.

Yo who the fuck is Mike D'Antonio?  I've heard of Mike D'Antoni, but not this cat that you're always talking about.  You obviously don't even watch basketball.

How could I have answered the question when I didn't know who you were talking about?

But now that I do, I'd say sure.  It's indirectly encouraged by the league.  Everybody in the NBA flops including the Lakers.

True, but there are certain teams that do it more than others. Which raises the question do coaches encourage/teach their team to do it.

If refs are gonna fall for it then a coach would be remiss if he didn't exploit any advantage he could get.
