Jeff Van Gundy Slams Utah on ESPN...

[carolinajazz]

And why shouldn't we flop? If we don't flop, will that stop the rest of the league from flopping? That's why the refs are there, this isn't pickup ball where you call your own fouls, and MILLIONS are on the line.

I would rather not be the worst flopping team, but if you don't play the game you lose.

...good points, all of them!

His post game quotes would be far superior to Corbin's.

...his brother Stan would be great, too! Either one would be hilarious after each game!

 

[carolinajazz]

Oh boy. John and Karl practically invented flopping.

...both Hall of Fame members in that department! But it's part of the game! They knew it and took advantage of it.

lol...he's 100% right. Harpring and AK flopped throughout the series against Houston.

I always chuckle when Harpring goes off about flopping during a broadcast because he was one of the worst floppers in the league when he played.

Once again I'll ask ... why?

 

[nightmare3983]

Did JVG mention Battier and Scola when he was going off about the Jazz and flopping? If it's so bad I'm sure JVG must have told them to knock it off.

Where do you live in AK?

Who cares what Van Gundy thinks? He whined when he coached and never won anything. Sounds like sour grapes. ESPN has always ignored or bashed Utah. So this shouldn't be a surprise.

Don't live there anymore but I lived in Eagle River

You are that fired up over that one comment? Damn, son. It's not that big of a deal. I mean, he's wrong, but who cares? And it's not the worst thing that has ever been said about the Jazz. I'm sure there's been much worse at some point since the 70s.

No this is the worst thing. It is a big deal. Because of the unfair reputation, the Utah Jazz got the worst deal from the refs of any team ever in the history of the game. They'd have a few championships if this wasn't the case.

Flopping is so low that even when Aşık or Kanter does it I hate them. Any player who flops should be banned for a couple of games and lose money. The youngs of the Jazz will not be a flopping team hopefully. They are hard asses.
