    When is Draymond going to get a fine? Only Bosh's flop against the Bulls come anything close to that, it's hilarious!

    If he doesn't get fined, I will finally say with no doubt the NBA has a huge bias for certain teams and players. His flopping has been an eyesore for the entire playoffs.

    I know it comes from hypercompetitiveness and trying every way to get ahead, but it needs to stop. Kerr should stop it and the league should stop it. Blech.

    I hate that reasoning so much and it happens all the time. How does the shot going in or not cause a foul to not be called. It's a foul or not foul regardless of the ball going in. One of the many pet peeves I have in officiating.

    Yeah, given that he was gang tackled, there shouldn't even have been overtime, TBH. SMH.

    Damn Curry got fouled big time. Surprised Anthony Davis would foul so blatantly. Even more surprised it didn't get called.

    i hope tonight, we can get a win like that as well, it is a testament of a team's mental toughness, go back to see all the championship teams, they need to be able to win in a hostile environment and they need to be tested like that before they can get to the top

    feel sad for pelicans, such a good opportunity wasted, so many mistakes down the stretch, they should've fouled on that rebound

    Nope. Only jet has been fined so far, as far as I can tell.

    Came back to this thread for this. Barnes HAS got to be fined for those flops last game. If Terry got fined for his, this definitely should be a fine also.

    Green flopped, but Ryan Anderson's left elbow clearly glazed him in the chin/mouth. Just saying.

    So what he is saying is... it was a legit foul and he could have ended the game right there, but chose not to.

    I think that's just the camera angle. Check out all of the other angles. The worst part about all of these flops is the delay between the "contact" and them deciding to fly backwards as if they got punched square in the mouth by Floyd Mayweather.

    OK buddy...

    Just call it an egregious flop and walk away. No need to make yourself look like a fool

    Never knew flopping was this prevalent. Nba should have 1-2 more refs on the floor or actually start fining players. Maybe they should start using instant replay for flops to see if it's legit. You know they won't, the league is riggged.

    This is a bad angle. I saw the game and they showed another angle and he didn't come within 6 inches of him.
