Ref was literally 2 feet away and staring right at the play but still blew the whistle. Disgusting imo...

Until there is a significant monetary fine or an in-game penalty for flopping, it will continue and likely get worse.
With all the cameras and replay technology, it should be easy to hire a bunch of interns to screen all plays and single out potential flops, with higher-ups checking each one before assessing penalties. A technical foul per flop would stop all of this if it could be done during the game.
Maybe a fine of 1/82 of a player's salary per flop would work so as to get the stars to stop doing it. Do you think Wade would flop if each one cost him $228,000?
Agree, Danny didn't attempt to foul though, he just didn't expect Chalmer's jaw to be this big tbh. cHeat's players generally have bigger jaws than normal.Quote:

Maybe that gif wasn't obvious enough. Here's the link, right click and play it at slow motion.

Edit: Chinook
You can see the elbow hit from the other angle.
This has become the new game.
Get on top of a player and don't allow any forward pivot with the arms. It has happened a number of times. Stevenson literally put his face right in Lebron's chest and dared him to pivot forward. The NBA is gonna have to establish clearer rules on this tactic.
We used to take peoples faces off pivoting if they did not allow some space and actually would try to get you to turn your back. Obviously players are willing to sacrifice their faces now. Ginobili is good at this as well.
I mean he did grace him with his elbow but that was obviously a flop and a fine is incoming.
So using your elbows is a foul, and using the ball isn't. Got it. Maybe players should just chuck the basketball at opposing player's faces to create more space then.Quote:

If you look at the gifs from the other angle you can see Green barely make contact with his chin. Nothing warranting Chalmers reaction thoughQuote:

I see a Chalmers foul before that.Quote:

It seems like it has but I have a feeling they don't do it here.Quote:

Why can't they call the game consistently like the 2nd and 4th quarters? I just don't get it.
:cry oh he made contact :cry
:cry he elbowed him in the face :cry
:cry retaliatory move against chalmers :cry
Give me a fucking break. This is the NBA Finals, and there is more contact than that on every single possession. That shit was 5% foul and 95% flop, and JVG was preachin' it to the choir!
There was contact but he didn't have to act like he took an uppercut from Tyson(that's the flopping part).
Mario Chalmers can barely be considered a basketball player at this point. He's trying to contribute however he can, which is mostly through cheapshots and flops.
Yes, overreaction can draw a fine. That's what happened to Tony Allen in the WCF last year. If this play had ended up being game-changing, it'd probably make a bigger firestorm.Quote:
