lol yes you are
you just called him the worst alltime for offensive flopping. And said he looks like someone shot him from the rafters.
Even though he almost never hits the deck. Ever. This board sucks
Yuri Vaultin wrote:The key with flopping isn't necessarily faking contact, but emphasizing any and all contact with zeal to ensure a whistle is blown. He does that very well.

As long as Chris Bosh - the only big man in the league who can actually drive - is satisfied being mainly a jumpshooter, and not #1 in knocking other bigs out of the game with foul trouble (same applies to Bargnani), this team is going nowhere.
More importantly, Bosh absolutely needs to add some real low post moves to his game if he wants to continue drawing fouls. Right now, he solely relies on his quickness advantage over other plodding bigs. His first step. That WILL go. If he wants to be a jumpshooter, then fine, he needs to hit his shots as well as Dirk. Otherwise, he needs to get more inside moves goin and he needs to practice his bank shots.

Agreed.

Why hate on Bosh taking jumpers anyways, I am pretty sure he makes them at least 55% of the time.

You're right. I don't get how your use of hyperbole helps you make a point. What's the point of having versatile bigs if there is only one on the whole L that can drive? Thanks for clearing that up for me.
And I guess you've never seen his baby hook.

Agreed.
If Bosh led the league in scoring, you can still bet that there would be more threads on this board criticizing his defense than praising his offensive accomplishments.

The baby hook is nice. It's a money move which could actually draw fouls legitimately in the future, when he slows down. Here's hoping he works on it more. He just needs to get an up and under going if the defender plays his left hand. But it's all dependent on deep position.
CB disappointed me this year because he showed no improvement in his game. The baby hook should have become a regular move for him since Game 1. A move we see a few times every game. Kind of like his drive and reverse-spin move from a year or two ago. The majority of his game this year was the same old.
And the only stat you need to look at is 31 - 49.

Good point, but he can do something other than taking a contested jump shot. I know it's an unfair comparison to Chris (because he has inferior supporting cast), but TD manages to stay very effective while not scoring. Besides, if taking a contested jump shot was our plan, we have better midrange shooters than him.
