They should fine Derek Fisher again, even though he isn't even playing. It should be a rule that Derek Fisher be fined everytime somebody flops.
so the refs used instant replay to confirm it was a flagrant foul and now the nba is saying it was a flop which we all knew. shows how the refs are really incompetent
looks like a flagrant to me. dangerous play that could have Jalened Allen. the flop was for the acting after the flagrant.
I agree. He should've been fined for another flop on a charged called against Bayless in that Portland series. Bayless immediately called him out but the ref ignored it. What about LeBron's full body twist in mid air after that arm grab foul? That was hilarious! Then he followed by another flop on setting a soft pick which drew a charge called against Hill, who's only 60 pounds lighter and 6 inches shorter! Didn't reps got all trained up on spotting flops?
i agree with u that was not a flagrant foul, its a contact sport, not tennis. And many wasnt trying to hurt tony allen, just prevent the and 1. 5k seems too low for that flop.
offopic but what about travelling before? I can clearly see allen making 3 steps after catching the ball. or is it allowed in nba?
Tbh, This wasn't really much of a flop to me. This was embellishing contact which is a difference in my eyes. It is obvious he was fouled intentionally, and 9/10, depending on the fall, it will be deemed flagrant. I think he wanted to ensure it would be called flagrant and for him to do that in that circumstance was really smart.
