    Anyone else annoyed at Rafer yelling out as if he were stabbed during each layup attempt? Woah! Ack! Biff! Splort!

    A ton of players do it. Believe it or not it actually seems to help them get calls, so I'm all for it in Rafer's case.

    Yeah, a lot of ballers do it. It's to help us get the refs' attention for calls when the contact might not be visible enough.

    But yeah, I can see why it gets irritating, but personally I just find it quite funny, especially the way Tmac and Rafer do it. :D

    does anyone notice how players always put up their hands and have that "what?" look on their face when they get called for a foul?

    it's a good way to try to draw a foul. of course the refs don't buy it if you do it EVERY time...

    I hate this... it's kinda whimpy... fine to do it if you actually get hit, but leave it out if you do it every time...

    Never heard him throw out a 'splort' before. I suppose there is a first time for everything....dunno....maybe that's a WNBA reference?

    I hear they have a 'splort' problem...

    It's a form of flopping.

    Serena Williams does it everytime she swings, and so does that other girl who turned good recently, and they're elites at their game. So I can safely conclude that Skip to my Poop is an elite NBA player.
