What about last year or the year before?
Worse than this year. And the year before that even worse. The year with Reggie Evans was the worst of all. But for this year's team it's an unfair label. I give Doc Rivers credit for that.

Why do you keep bringing up the Pelicans?
To make my point that every team in the NBA does it to some extent, and I assume you've seen a lot of the Pelicans games. The stakes are high and teams are looking for an edge.

As for the Clippers/Thunder series, no one has flopped more than Westbrook and I'd say it's not even close.

Would've been better for the Clips. Even if he makes both the Clips have the ball with the game tied and 7 seconds left.

I think Paul got fouled twice on the last 10 seconds, once by Westbrook and once by Jackson on the last play of the game.

Overall the Clips got screwed by some home cooking.

Are you telling me given the choice of

1) Jacskon going to the line with 6 seconds to go

2) OKC inbounding the ball with 6 to go

That the Clippers would pick option 1?

Right. At best the Thunder tie the game. The clips then inbound with a chance to score. If they don't, the game goes to overtime.

You Cannot be serious

If you really believe that, why didn't they foul immediately after the inbound then?

Your opinion is skewed by hindsight. So many more things can go wrong with an inbound pass and shot than shooting free throws.

ETA: You see it all the time. Teams up by two and letting the other team run a play.

No. The percentages aren't remotely going to favor you on this one.

Sure, it's all hindsight. Bottom line, the Clips got a rim-job from the refs on several blown calls or blown no-calls in the 47 seconds of the game.

If you truly think an NBA team would choose their opponent shooting free throws over an inbound pass with less than 10 seconds, then you are verifying yourself as a moron.

Why the personal insults? We're just talking about a basketball game. Why go there?

Sorry for hurting your feelings, but anyone that thinks that a team would choose free throws over an inbound pass there deserves to be called out.

You didn't hurt my feelings. I'm just wondering why you think insulting someone makes your argument stronger. Make your point and let it stand on its own merits. At the end of the day, how we treat other people is infinitely more important than our opinions on the outcome of a basketball game.

I've watched every game and I can say that is a load of crap.

The clippers whole team have been up there in flopping this series. Now with Durant/Westbrook doing it as well, it is almost unbearable.

Why didn't who foul? The play in question wasn't on an inbounds pass. The Clippers inbounded the ball and it was knocked away by Westbrook and recovered by Jackson, who then drove to the basket, losing the ball out of bounds.
