Harden receives flopping warning

lol I was wondering if that would get called or not

 

Yeah that was pretty bad.

Wesley Matthews was pissed after that one.

Portland announcers, to their credit, restrained themselves from talking crap about Harden for that play.

 

LOL

Has someone checked on James' face yet?!

 

And Chris Paul and Griffin get no warning.

 

man, this is even worse than his TOs.:grin:

 

Exactly but losses to Lakers and Magic might be enough.

 

Good, but where's the 1 warning and double fine for Chris Paul? **** the league, it will never be transparent and boy do I wish we win the championship despite Stern and his minions trying to everything to give LA, Miami and others that ring.

 

Chris Paul had a worse flop than that opening night, did he get a warning?

 

Also, Robin Lopez and Maurice Williams both had blatant flops when trying to guard Dwight. Oh well.

 

look like an obvious flop, but that clip isn't very good at showing it

 

Didn't Matthews hand hit Harden's face after Harden landed? I recall them showing that in the replay.

It shouldn't have been called a foul nonetheless, since the contact is way after the shot.

 

Nah, he didn't touch him. Harden used to flop in OKC, think this is the first time he's done it as a Rocket.

 

Yes it did look like Matthews hand hit him in the face after he landed on the replay, I rewinded it a few times. It was after the shot, and Harden still may have embelished the contact, but there was contact, and with the new rules emphasis on letting the offensive player land, I figured that is why they called it.

 

It was a flop no doubt about it the league really needs to clamp down on all the flopping it cheapens to game.

 

I agree it isn't that obvious as some examples by others. Also, I'm pretty sure it isn't the first time. I think it's a good thing, he needs to focus more on making the baskets and less on getting, or appearing to be getting, hit. The calls will still come in a big enough batch that the doesn't have to focus so intensely on making sure he gets hit.

 

CP3 needs one too. Cisco never touched him.

 

The master floppers will be in H-Town on Saturday. I wonder how many calls CP3 will get to go his way when he flops?

 

Actually, after I replayed it several times, you could see Harden's face was clearly hit by Matthews at the 2-4 second mark, after he landed.

Harden did get hit after the shot, but shouldn't be a foul.

 

I can understand Harden getting a warning. But, to not hand one out to cp3 is complete utter bull****. He probably flops out of his bed.
