that's easy to say b/c sometimes it's hard to see live with all the bodies there. certain players exaggerate hits but sometimes they do get hit, you still have to call a foul. what harden did was a DISGRACE to the game of basketball. he faked getting hurt for like half afterwards. nice to see that harden is following the lead of durant though.
The Euroleague banned flopping years ago. Even Navarro (the greatest flopper in world history) is pretty much rendered useless flopping wise in Euroleague. If the Euroleague can about 95% eliminate flopping from the game, then why the hell can't the NBA do it? There is simply no excuse for the flopping in the NBA. Yet another way that Stern is a huge fail.
That was disgraceful. I don't see how people can root against the Mavs because Dirk's a "flopper" when you have Harden doing this.
Not hard at all b/c most of the time it's easy to tell on TV when someone is flopping. The refs even have the chance to correct their mistake after conferring with other refs but they never seem to take advantage of that opportunity.
I root against the Mavs not only because Dirk is a flopper but he's also a pansy. Take the play where Westbrook got called for a technical. Dirk pushed Westbrook and Westbrook pushes back. Dirk immediately yells to the ref "HEY!" like a tattling little brat. http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2011/05/21/0041000313_dal_okc_play10.nba
or they can review those flops AFTER the game and hand out hefty fines. i'm sure players will stop flopping when their pockets get just a little bit lighter.
I would have an extra ref on the sidelines, watching video footage of the game so the game wouldn't be slowed down and he could call the flop rather quickly It has become so bad that I think this is neccessary
I can't stand Dirk either, but I wasn't too bothered by that. That was a straight vet move, schooling a youngster.
what an insult to Vlade Divac. Navarro can't even hold Divac's jock strap if you're not flopping you're not trying. like spitball and bean ball in baseball, flopping is a part of the game.
darn shame, but it was kinda funny. harden's acting was top notch. reminds me of baron's flop on the baseline a while back. shaq was right. nba=nothing but actors.
