Not really, fining him for flopping is not the same as calling him a bad player, which is what the LOFs are doing.
I believe it was the one that he just fell out of bounds and no one touched him and the ref called a foul
He deserves to get fined for his flopping, but how come Chris Paul got away with 3 flops in the first game we played them? They're so inconsistent with this bs rule that they should just scrap it altogether.
Well deserved fine! I hate flops and I absolutely hated the flop against Griffin. Now it is time to hand out fines to every player that flops, including CP3 and LeBron!
There's a difference between selling contact and flopping. A very, very minor difference, but CP3 is pretty good at knowing when to flop and when not to.
To be fair, Blake did touch the beard (the actual beard, not the man). There is a .gif circulating online. Put it on loop, it's hilarious. Here's link to vid. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>HOU's J. Harden Fined $5,000 for Flopping vs. L.A.

called that one when i was at the game the other night. Could see this fine coming a million miles away. Still it did work at the time, and if that one possession led to a turnaround and the win, it would have been money well spent.
