My vote goes to the Spurs, Flopu, Oberto and Horry are a formidable lineup.
What do you guys think?

[theTHIEF]

Probably the Spurs I guess followed closely by the Suns (Amare's flops alone should win them 1st), Dallas has a few flop-tastic moments mainly from Devin. the Blazers and Bucks should be high on the list just for Joel and Bogut's flopping alone, those guys are amazing floppers...

[SOUL]

Joel has been flopping so much this season.. but yeah Its prob the Spurs since they have a couple that do it.

[amb1ent]

Suns should be in the mix just off of Bell. Amare and Nash flop from time to time pretty convincingly too

[NetsForce]

Suns. They're the only team that can consistently flop on OFFENSE.

[RoxFan08]

I think all the worst offenders have been named.

Spurs, Portland, Dallas, Phoenix, and (apparently) the Bucks.

[Pai Gow]

The Texas Trio should be on top

Spurs
Dallas
Houston

I don't really get the Houston pick. Shane draws some charges (I think he does it cleanly), Scola is quite a flopper (must be Argentinian blood), but no one else. If you wanna be that way, Memo is a pretty big time flopper as well.

Edit: How silly of me, how could I forget Matt Harpring?

[EvadedHavoc]

This flop trumps all.

Shane draws SOME charges? All the guy does is flop on charges, Scola is gonna hurt someone cause he's gonna flop onto someones knees one of these days and is close to the Varejao level there not to mention Yao whenever he misses a shot looks like he's gonna give birth to a small child trying to get a call. Mcgrady though, not a flopper on offense, sometimes on defense. Maybe I see it more because I'm a Jazz fan and we've played you guys like a millions times it feels like the last year or so.

Memo is not a big-time flopper, not like Shane or Scola and Harpring has bad knees and is just plain out of control.

Someone post the video of Amare flopping when Dampier barely touched him. Marc Jackson i belive called him Denzel Washington.

[Philly Fresh]

The first team that came to mind once I read the title was the Spurs.

[theTHIEF]

forget that, post the video of Amare flying 15 feet back after touching up with Dwight...you know, the one where he almost killed Nash...

If you watched as many Houston games as you say you have, you'd see that Shane almost never "flops". There is a difference between "drawing a charge" and flopping.

I agree that Scola gets calls on "flops". He "acts out" phantom hits to get calls. Shane takes a beating when he gets hit. His charge calls are legit.

Memo (at least whenever we play the Jazz) hits, hacks, and flops on every possession vs. Yao. Yao is one of the most poorly officiated players in the entire NBA. Just like Shaq, he doesn't get the calls he should. The only way he even gets the ones he gets now is by whining to the officials, just like all the other players in the NBA. He just has a much better case than most.

Harpring gets a bye because he has bad knees?

And since when does Tmac flop, ever? I mean ever? I've never seen him do it. And I'm sure I watch more Houston games than you.

[PrecociousNeoph]

spurs and suns. grant hill is my favorite flopper this season, he's overtaken ginobili, nocioni and varejao. when he flops and the phx crowd rawrs at his great defense, i just lol.

Nothing makes me more upet watching a game then when a center tries to draw a charge on a smaller player. Just the other day Al Harrington starts to take Yao off the dribble and Yao creates a little contact and then flops. thankfully the refs didn't fall for and made the right call, which was a no-call. What a guy 7'6" is doing flopping when he could easily stuff Harrington makes no sense to me.

A charge should have been called on the play. Yao set his feet outside the restricted area, and Harrington barrelled in, out of control and slammed into him shoulder first. Yao did flop to try to get a call that he wouldn't get otherwise. Guaranteed, if the same play happened on the other end, Yao would have gotten an offensive foul. Guaranteed. Just because he's big, he shouldn't be allowed to draw an offensive foul?

[C'mon Cavs]

The Pistons do a lot of offensive "flopping". Whenever Billups gets remotely close to a defeneder when he drives, he'll just throw his arms up in the air and purposely lose his dribble and the refs call it every single time.

Hamilton has picked it up from him, and they use it to maximize their marginal talent.

You dont see Rasheed or Prince do all that nonsense on offense...you know why...theyre talented enough to score inside.

Billups pisses the hell out of me when he does that. I think he's the most overrated player in the NBA.

[theTHIEF]

i see Rasheed kick his leg out a lot, like a cow kick, not sure how it's not a foul...but hey, it's the Pistons....

[Simplicity0]

Definitely the Suns.
