Amateur: sons I hate Griffin, but God almighty the Clippers got screwed tonight

yeah listen to the comments after plays 1 and 2.
Now apply to Dorks play.

Clearly states exaggerating contact on legit fouls is a punishable offense.

Over embellishment i.e. throwing your body on the floor and writhing in pain is punishable. Dirk did no such thing. Don't be so obtuse.

When the NBA does nothing to punish Dirk for this, i expect an apology from Fabbs.

Your apology is duly noted.

throwing your body on the floor and writhing in pain is the only way to receive the embellishment call. My Dorkys flailing around like a drunk Herman Munster is classy and i agree with his flop.

Your apology is duly noted

It was a clear foul by Griffin, which Dirk sold by exaggerating the contact. That, by the definition set by the NBA, is NOT a flop. You can exaggerate contact on legit fouls. Flops are the bull CP3 did to Cousins where there is no foul but you try to deceive the refs into thinking there was.

Agree with Mono here. Sure it is splitting hairs I dont like any "acting" but by rule he is right. Dirk did get hit and I dont think Dirk flopped he pulled away and exaggerated a bit. Because Blake grabbed then pushed off Dirk exaggerated his arms to show he whad to "rip himself away" from Blake. Again I dont call that to decide a game ...but cant honestly sit here and say that was not a foul ... a non-call is deciding that game just as well ...i just prefer a "play" and not a call decide a game ...but I cant blame the ref there.

You can play semantics all you want, but reverse the players - if it was Blake exaggerating like that and canceling out a Dirk game-winner, everyone would call it a flop by Blake....

Dirk floppedPERIOD

By NBA definition you just gave Dork a flop.

Que the backpedal welching.

Per the NBA flopping video, exaggeration is allowed within reason. It's the Chris Paul level "throw yourself to the floor" flopping that gets penalized.

NBA still hasn't punished Dirk for flopping. Your apology is duly noted.

didn't see no screwed officiating from the game last night. the only benefit mavs received from the refs was that they ejected mike james before he could cost his team another close game tbh

dirk was in the right position to intercept the pass and monkeyball shoved him off balance using his claw, it was a legit foul imho
