    That's hilarious. The fact that both tried to flop in front of the reft is classic. Wonder who ended up with the foul.

    I believe it was a double foul and/or double tech. Indeed hilarious.

    That was a shot across the bow by Manu to Kevin Martin, letting him know he's still got it.

    So, there is an NBA rule that stats intentionally trying to fool a ref is a technical foul. Double flops seem like a de facto standard for this ruling: one or both of the players must get a technical foul under this rule.

    While Manu did over exaggerate the fall, Raja did trip him. The second replay shows it as clear as day. Raja's foot in under Manu's which caused the fall... It was the right call... I know, I hate myself for saying that...

    Actually after observing the footage Manu didn't flop (Please don't shoot me) His right foot actually stepped on Raja's and caused him to slip.

    Yep it looks like Manu right foot stepped on Raja's foot and slipped. But his left foot's flail is just too much.

    Anyone else sickened by this?

    Flopping is ruining the game we love IMO.

    Me.

    One of the few big reasons I'm following the NBA less and less as the years go by.

    How can that be a trip when we could say Manu tripped Raja first by stepping on his foot. That occurred first.

    So part of me is convinced Manu did that long right leg step with the intention of stepping on Raja's foot.
