I agreed. The fine is too small. If flopping give you an edge for winning, then the stars will just abuse it. For someone who making 20millions a year, fining 100k is a drop in the bucket.
Usually these NBA official flopping fine videos are very good about showing the flop. This was the real time action plus two replays that cut out before the flop, very sloppy. We saw during the broadcast that Harden did get hit in the face, and the foul call was correct. This is one of the weaker flopping warnings I've seen but I'm still not really against it; Harden acted like he just got clocked by Floyd Mayweather.
They need to warn the whole Miami team and Clipper team. But on to Harden, he's been flopping since his OKC days. No surprise here, but I'm Surprise this is Harden's 1st warning? Has he receive one last season? Cp3, Fisher and Harden might be the best floppers in the league (flopping and getting away with it).
My favorite one from last season <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/hcxXGPDC1Gs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Is this foul where he was rolling around on the ground? I remember his eyes looked red when he shot his FTs like he was hit.
Yeah, they need to slam the hammer down hard on these flops. Warnings and petty fines will do nothing, and have done nothing. If I were a ref and I caught a blatant flop, is eject the offender on the damn spot.
No fines coming out on the LAC side for the same game makes me dislike this. James flops.... Agree that he does it and agree that the contact was greatly embellished by Harden. But Chris Paul is far worse than James Harden.
harden and love's seem pre meditated by the league rather than particularly valid. What Matthews seems to be upset about, and it seems valid is that Harden's arm coming down is what pulls Matthews hand onto his face.
Asinine huh? Please tell me why. No wait, I don't care. It's still going to be there no matter what. A gif of Clutch the bear slamming a cake into the face of someone wearing an LA jersey. And a quote from another Rockets fans saying Lin's TO's still have more wins compared to Harden's. Not hating on Harden, it's just a fact that was pointed out by another member. Have a nice day big guy.
nice work NBA, offensive players even our own must be punished a plight on the game at least we know he wont have any problems on the other end of floor, never close enough to a player for it be considered flopping
