It's time to clear out this flophouse

>> Wednesday

Because I so often rag on Bill Simmons, I always find it necessary to note when I feel he's written a fine column (as if I'll somehow impact his readership or something when he's linked from the front page of espn.com, but whatever).

I don't know about anyone else, but I think the constant flops on the defensive end are the single biggest thing detracting from my enjoyment of these playoffs. For example, as excited as I would be to see the Bulls extend their series to seven games, I grew so disgusted watching Crap-tain Kirk flop on every possession that I found it hard to cheer for them.

In fact, from the moment 'Sheed got T'd up (and screamed "You know that ain't right! That's fuckin' bullshit!" within audible range of the TV mic on his way back to the bench), I watched last night's game as a neutral observer. He was right--that call was fuckin' bullshit, as were the--I don't know--dozen or so times I saw Hinrich or another Bull flop last night.

And to answer your previous question--yes, "Crap-tain Kirk" is the best I've got tonight.

While it may annoy people, I can't blame players for flopping if the referees keep giving them the calls. The line between a charge and a block has become extremely hazy and officials at all levels need to really look into this and make some sort of change/definitive stance.

Yeah, you're right. I just find it hard to cheer for floppers. Oh well, my inner conflict of cheering for the Bulls over 'Sheed has been put to bed.
