Round 1: Argentina vs. USA
I'd have to give it to Argentina for also managing to throw up what appears to be a jump shot as they are flopping backwards.
It depends how you judge it. If you're going for over the top crazy European soccer player flopping, then the south americans, euros and LeBron are the best.
If you go for players who actually fake it the best, successfully deceive the refs, and still get the call then Fisher is the best ever by a mile. Most of his flops don't look like huge flops live, but on replay they always are obvious. At some point you just accept that any time Fisher tries to take a charge its some level of flop.
If that's a T we need 20 Ts a game on every coach and maybe 100 a game on players. LeBron alone should have 10-20 Ts a game if that's a T.
Completely agree! 2 outta the 3 we very weak calls. Garnetts was to but atleast his was called correctly.
wow, fix might be in on this one folks.
3-4 obvious Miami fouls not called, then they call a Boston foul on what's usually a jump ball
I actually think Miami's been officiated well so far in the playoffs, this first half is a bit of a joke though.

What's that got to do with anything? I've live in Chicago for 11 years. I'm supposed to be a jerkoff Miami bandwagoner or I can't comment on an obvious slanted officiating job?
Sorry but any rational person saw a 4-5 point swing gifted to Miami by the officials in that first half. If you don't see that, your basketball opinions are pretty worthless.
You didn't see the 2-3 plays at the rim with the same or more contact prior to that?
I didn't mean to distract from the Fisher hate. I hate that guy, especially the flopping and that goofy-looking jumper.
They were certainly the beneficiaries of the most obvious fix ever. In that Kings series the people who thought it was on the level were the conspiracy theorists.
No it's a great point, there are two distinct schools of flopping.
There's the Vlade Divac cartoon character school of flopping (Omer Asik is of that discipline). LeBron is embracing this style more every year.
Then there's the Fisher style where it's more about how much explosion he can fabricate flying backwards. That style looks less girly because it's not about arms flailing all over the place. I think it's more effective in actually manipulating the game.
