    Scola is nowhere near the level of Martin and Harden.

    Normally I would agree with you - but you can count how many calls were not made for Harden - they're counted as turnovers.

    Meanwhile Parsons is "fouling" the ball because KD rips it into his knee.

    still a flopper tho.

    its one thing driving to the basket and jerking your head back as opposed to getting screened and literally jumping and flapping your arms to get a call. THAT is a flop. Beverly does it a tad bit, but those calls tonight were ridiculous

    Rockets have no right to complain about floppers. Biased officiating okay, but flopping? This is a team that had Kevin Martin, Kyle Lowry, James Harden, and Luis Scola in recent years.

    I don't think he was flopping. Just dismayed he missed the layup.

    Tbh our team flops as well. Harden and Lin are always exaggerating contact. Parsons and Bev tend to flop as well.

    I was under the impression the league changed the rules a cpl years back because of how much flack it got for him doing that to the Celtics in the '10 finals, in fact I'm almost certain the league changed those way off the ball calls to be automatic blocks.

    Rip throughs are now normal fouls, not shooting fouls. Doesn't help when we're always in the penalty.

    Yeah that was annoying as hell. First of all the whole sweep thing is dumb as hell. Second of all Parsons never touched Durant since Durant misjudged his space or something and hit Parsons with the ball.

    Yes...but now the NBA has rule changes that make flopping illegal this year.

    So funny....my wife was saying, "I feel so bad for you," because I'm what she calls in Brazil a "sofredor" (sufferer)---those fans of teams that perennially suck.

    So I'm shouting at the TV, "What the hell are you doing, Harden?" Or, "No iso, no iso, no iso....s***! McHale, you are so damn stupid!!"

    My wife's response from the couch? "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............."
