Video: NBA warns Warriors’ Marreese Speights for flop vs. Rockets’ Dwight Howard The NBA announced Monday that Warriors forward/center Marreese Speights has been issued a warning for flopping. Speights’ flop occurred with a little less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Golden State’s 105-83 road loss to Houston on Dec. 6. Chandler Parsons threw an entry pass to Dwight Howard on the right block. Speights was alone playing one-on-one defense and he absorbed light contact to the chest as Howard turned towards the center of the paint. Speights launched his upper body and head backwards after the contact, falling to the court as Howard swept in for a left-handed lay-up. Replays showed that Speights’ reaction was inconsistent with the minor contact from Howard, who was called for an offensive foul on the play <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Is33MfiIZQM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So, you get a bunch of guys who are great at playing basketball for an event that involves no playing of basketball...

Wow -- I thought being a season ticket holder had better benefits. Last year I remember there was a dinner before the season started and McHale introduced the players -- I thought that was a season ticket holder event. Also, didn't they post pics of another season ticket holder event in which Boys II Men performed. Are there too many season tickets holders now? Wish you had a better time
Haha. The James Harden is only comfortable in two environments. The basketball court, and the strip club lol.
Is one of these dancers you, Klutch? :grin: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/jAiXlWit_OU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Dwight seems to enjoy being a Rocket. That makes me happy.
Asik was smiling/laughing most of the night, including @ Dwight's silliness. That pic got snapped at just the right moment to make it look otherwise. ETA: He was happier @ Sunday's game than I've seen him in a LONG time... life of the party on the bench. Obviously relieved to be going, I guess.
sampson already ruling asik out of the next game. two days before. @JasonCFriedman 1h No surprise, but Kelvin Sampson confirms Omer Asik (thigh contusion) will be out vs. Portland.
