@lawdog Billups has always been a flopper in my book, as well as many other hoop fan's. The Clippers are notorious for it. Point blank. Do many teams take part in flopping? Yes. The reason the Clippers get a majority of the hate is because they attempt more flops AND get rewarded with more calls than any other team. Non-Clipper fans are aware of this persistence in manipulating the system.
I hear what you're saying and I know a lot of fans feel the same way. But I'm curious how you can be so sure that the Clippers attempt more flops and get rewarded with more calls than any other team. Do you have stats to back that up? Or is that just based on personal observation? I watch every Clippers game and can tell you that there's lots of calls that don't go their way, so I have a hard time with the idea they're somehow getting more preferential treatment from the refs than other teams.
