How does a guy who is 6'8", 270 have no issues running over the biggest basketball players in the NBA and bullying his way to the basket yet flops like this? Better question, why do the garbage refs fall for any of it?

NBA should hand out stiffer penalties for flopping. Make the penalty a percentage of a player's salary instead of a measly $5k. I'm thinking 2%.

The Cavs need to surround Kevin Love with better players. He is single-handedly carrying them to the finals.

Only 1 player this season got a flopping fine

Just strange to me to implement a rule then never enforce it at all.

I'm not sure he flopped. Ever been hit in that area? It really hurts.

3. PHILTRUM - This is the area between the upper lip and the bottom of
the nose. Attack to this area may also cause unconsciousness or
death.

A fine is too lenient of a penalty, these guys make too much money for $5k or really even 2% to even matter. I bet some of them would be paid by the team anyway. I say the penalty should be a 1 game suspension for the first one and the suspensions should be exponential from that point on.

James is one of the worst floppers ever. If he had played in the 80's and 90's, he would've been given good reasons to flop. Flops around after getting hit by guards like he just got hit by Malone, Oakley, Mahorn, Laimbeer, Mason, etc...

I thought Marcus Smart got one? His was Ric Flair like:

Had he known that it was Thompson that hit him, I doubt that he would have thrown himself to the ground like that.

Add in the fact that they are tax deductible.

Draymond should be ejected for that kick. Shameful.

[Suburban_Guy]

OKC is clearly the more aggressive team. Those drives are killing the Dubs.

Flagrant 1 for Draymond, ridiculous!
