Watch No. 9. There is about 10 times more contact on that flop than the one where Dame was called for a foul at the end of the Clippers game.
The ref (guess who) should have been fined for No. 5. That's how you end flopping. Otherwise, these are all just run of the mill flops. Watch any Rockettes or Clippers game and you'll see worse.
What a joke of an article. This doesn't make the list? Too early in the season? http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/sto...kets-mavericks-chandler-parsons-dirk-nowitzki Harden is the undisputed king of floppers.
If Silver wanted to apply the rule, he could have Flop Fine Fridays. And include "all stars" in the list of those getting fined. And refs!
2 shots and the ball for "Flopping". That might change things when it starts to cost wins for the team?
Like Dviss likes to point out, the crappy NBA refs would actually have to be in position to make the right call. Notice how Joey Crawford was incapable of even seeing the play from his position when he called the Westbrick flop? Fine his ass for making a call he didn't see. Actually, now that I look at it, he called it before it happened. Nope, the NBA isn't crooked, and their refs aren't incompetent.
Make it simple. If a player hits the floor and the whistle was blown, review the call. If a flop is determined, fine the player, give him a technical, give the opponent the ball, and shoot the ref who called the foul. Easy peasy.
