    Can't keep doing that, though. It's important that we come out gunning early.

    In NBA definition, that is not a flop. He did sell a bit but Irvin pushed him off with his left hand.

    There no way Lin gets a warning for that - willing bet money.

    Biggest flop? So there are no bigger flops in the history of basketball?

    Did you even look at the slow motion replay frame-by-frame? You can see Lin's face react to Irving's mask hitting him, then he gets pushed by Irving's forearm. His only embellishment was to snap his head back a bit, but the contact was real.

    Irving was getting calls like if he was Lebron

    Saved by harden and 3 ball. Caves look like a great team though

    Very impressed how we stayed in the game despite struggling mightily from long range.

    Smith is already such a valuable role player and a competent backup to Asik. He even outplayed Asik today and is definitely the superior offensive player and finisher around the basket.

    This is right. All the flop warnings have been issued for largely non contact flops.

    Irving fouled with push off, but Lin pretended that he got hit in the head.

    the NBA is not strict at all with this. Does anyone believe Luis Scola has not flopped a single time this year?

    Blake Griffin is no superstar.

    I don't understand how Portland keeps winning all these games. They're about to be 3 games over .500

    The Rockets guard duo did it again tonight. Harden started off really slow, but Lin held up the team in the 2nd quarter with 14 points. I really liked Harden's 7 steals tonight.

    Overall I thought coaching made critical adjustments in the game, putting in Smith/Pattersonl/Delfino, in place of Asik/Parsons/Asik. Smith/Patterson/Delfino all played more minutes.

    Yeah, I'm amazed at their rebounding ability.
