Has CP3 been fined at all for flopping?

    They want to stop flopping yet they don't enforce it at all.

    It a little funny how we trash cp3 for flopping when we have Harden. I think cp3 flops more, but people outside of Houston would have a hard time deciding which of the two is the king flopper.

    Looked like he was trying to pull the chair out from under Harden. He knew Harden was anticipating the contact so he moved out the way at the last second to throw Harden off.

    Not only that, they encourage it. If you are fouled and don't accentuate the contact , you are less likely to get the call.

    A hard truth for many to swallow on this forum, that's for sure.

    And they really only fined the middling NBA player. I don't recall any superstar/star players getting anything more than a warning.

    Harden does flop but not to the extent CP3 does.

    Harden does flop. But he is not close to Chris Paul's level.

    Almost all NBA players flop to some extent nowadays. There are occasional floppers. There are regular floppers. And there are FLOPPERS. Chris Paul belongs to the last kind.

    I feel you. I just think most non Houston fans would put Harden in the same category as Paul. If we are being honest we would say Harden is closer to that level than not.

    I dont think anyone on CF is denying that Hardon doesn't flop. However, I dont think Hardon flops anywhere near CP3's level. CP3 acts like someone just shot him with an AK-47 when someone breathes on him.

    I really don't want us to play this team of kitty's in the playoffs. I would infinitely despise each player and the coach forever. Probably would be the most annoying and unwatchable Rockets playoff series I've ever watched, I know it.
