    No offense but that's because you aren't a ref and may not be sure what the ref is supposed to be looking at. The ref LEAVES the shooter before he lands. You are supposed to watch them from Jump to land and that was not done. He became a spectator and watched the ball. Then he makes ANOTHER mistake and guesses on the call. These are simple referee mistakes that he should NOT be making.

    Wow, that's the play they are talking about? Fuck Harden and D-Ho. If that's how they roll, I'm glad they aren't on my favorite team.

    I view Harden as I do DWade. Amazing player but flops so much and so blatantly that it takes all the fun out of watching him and makes you start to loath the site of them.

    If harden was doing this for our team and getting the same calls, you'd want him on the blazers.

    I loved rooting for Roy but he got a lot of BS foul calls on drives to the rim. I wish the refs were more competent in the NBA so it eliminated all this crap.

    Not true. I hate floppers. Just like I hate swipers (LA swipes and fouls instead of going for most blocks).

    But, instead of saying "God damn flopper! I hate them!"

    It would be "I hate floppers,but glad he is on my team and we got the benefit of it." and laughed off.

    It's true.

    No, it's not true. I'm a ref man. I love when good, fundamental basketball is played. So speak for yourself dude....

    I'm a ref too. I guess I should be saying it as "the general consensus" would say that. Not just you as an individual.

    And this is my 500th post. I don't know how I feel about this. lol.

    To a point (as in, if we're contending I'd be content). But I came to hate watching Roy play basketball. That was partially Nate's fault, but also partially his own fault.

    How is going for a swipe and fouling different than going for a block and fouling? Especially in Aldridge's case, cause he ONLY does it when the other player is about to shoot, so it's basically a block attempt anyways.

    Also from NBA, James Harden is fined $5,000 for his second flop of season. First came vs. #Blazers' Wesley Matthews.

    I hope he gets fined 50k by the time this season is over. Players need to be made examples and this guy is one of the biggest floppers in the game.

    LOL! The look on Griffin's face was priceless! It was like "Hey man, we do that shit, you can't do that to me!!!!"
