I think flopping in the NBA can be traced back to 2 former Lakers.

Vlade introduced it to the league.

Derek Fisher perfected it. lol

Ginobli is another that belongs in the flopper HOF. Anderson Varejao's flop game was A+.

The Lakers? They had to trade Jones to let Kobe be able to start. And Kobe's legacy went from there.

Exactly. Jones and Kobe were both 2's, Rice was a 3.

It kinda sucked because Jones was an all star caliber player and fan favorite...but Kobe was...Kobe.

We need to bestow the Street Clothes nickname to Kawhi. AD can stick with Anthony Day to Davis
Yeah there's no defending either of these guys.

But, at least yours got you a ring.

Sure, Kawhi already has 2.

But, that shit doesn't help the Clippers.

So, fuck him.

If/when this shit blows up in the Clippers face at years end, I think he will get dealt, not Paul George.

Clippers are about to drop 4 straight.

Thank GAWD the Nets and Lakers are ass or they would be getting hell.

It's really disgusting. Fans pay good money to see these "stars."

Say what you want about 'Bron.....he plays and gives maximum effort. At almost 40 years old.

In fairness to Davis, I don't think he sits out as a healthy scratch.

That mofo is just not durable.

That's different... Imo

Yeah. Just saying maximizing that return and maybe Kobe can’t mutiny in 04

Instead with no depth it made it easy

Oh, I agree.....he actually gets hurt.

Needs to consult Kobe's old rhinoceros plasma expert and get that shit injected into his body.

No justification for that. Kobe was just an asshole and tired of being Shaq's sidekick.

He wanted to be the top dog of his own team.

Other than one game, PG13 has been awful this year. Man, it’s early but I still feel bad for Clippers fans. They have to deal with this bullshit

I will be worried by game 15.

By then, we will probably be 3-12.

We can't beat anyone but the Lakers.

George has been liquid ass.

I mean I still like the team minus Kawhi but he needs to play better plain and simple. No time for panic, it’s just like…5 1st’s and swaps for this dude

I'm not in panic mode over George.

It's just the 6th game.

But, they have enough other guys to pick up the slack when he's so bad.

Morris played well in the 1st.

But, Powell is the only guy who showed up for the rest of the game.

Lue needs to set a rotation at some point and stop experimenting.

Its not just George.

Luke Kennard, Reggie , Batum and Mann have been bad too.

Stop trying to play 11 or 12 guys.

It's not working.

Especially when you have 2 or 3 guys sitting every game.

No Covington or Kawhi.

Zubac might as well have not played either.
