Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread
This is the game of basketball. I can go find a 500 pound man who will just run the shit out of any one in the league. Lowering your shoulder into someone and laying them out is not basketball. I don't think that that's what Dwight does all the time, but the notion that every time the defender falls is a flop is wrong.
What about that game...nah nevermind.
Also, I don't watch Robin Lopez every night so I don't know. I do watch Howard every night and I watched Yao every night and it does piss me off how many guys...stretch 4s no less, get away with guarding Howard by falling down and flailing around. But there was just a time where being weak in the post and overpowered just meant bad luck for you. So when I see guys fall down and it's something Rocket fans see every night...He even got a foul for posting up on a guard, guard falls down...offensive foul. Refs punished him for being stronger against a guard...as if there was any other result in him being guarded by a guard. I just wish they would go back to if you weren't strong enough to guard the opposing post player, you pay for that. Not force a power post player like Dwight to learn moves like Hakeem because that's never going to happen. But rant on that over.
