    WTF guys? I honestly don't think that was a flop.... no one throws themselves down on the floor full force that hard purposefully. watch the replay from multiple angles. he obviously lost his balance

    Clutchfans complaining about flopping is both ironic and hilarious

    Well CP probably has the fanciest flops but Harden scores 90% of his offense from flops so if the nba really cracked down on it, clutchfans would be hating life.

    The funnies thing is seeing kobe sycophant pullup3 celebrating since his idol is the biggest flopper ever.

    Harden scores 90% of his offense off layups and getting to the line. Difference there.

    I would actually laugh at that. I hate flopping in all sports. There needs to be more penalization. Our old Rockets were bad at it, like Scola and K-Mart. Harden definitely flops too much to draw contact when he should rely on his own skill, not the whistle.

    That being said, Chris Paul is the king of floppers and makes a spectacle of himself when he does it. Plus he has a dirty attitude and cheats. If anyone was deserving to be injured while flopping, it would be Chris Paul.

    I mean, sure, he flops a lot and it's annoying, but I don't really see how this particular play was an obvious flop. :confused:

    Didnt Darren Collison break out in New Orleans when CP3 went out with a season ending injury like 5 years ago? Collison always seems to be around when CP3 gets hurt. Hopefully he can fill in as nicely as he did back then (for clippers fans). I for one don't care how they do.

    Does James Harden really get to the line by " flopping"? The classic Harden move when he gets fouled is to whip the ball out in front of him while driving at the basket, people slap and the ball but often rakes him across the arms. There is legit, and often pretty hard, contact on these plays. Harden really takes a beating on his dribble drives-- which makes fans worry about his potential for injuries (same with Jeremy Lin).

    Guys like CP or Kevin Martin, on the other hand, are the masters of getting to the line while barely getting touched.

    Still waiting for Blake Griffin to hurt himself on a 360 mid-air spinning flop.

    Pretty sure wade double/tripple dribbled, got away with an offensive foul.

    ...Says the guy that used one play to suggest that Harden gets most of his offense from flopping.
