Clippers game. So apparently giving a high five is illegal now

[Kobe 4 The Win]

Ref just issued a technical for a high five. WTF?

[Al Thornton]

ref has to be fined for that.

[50inchvertical]

I'm going to believe he gave him for tech for trying to flop again

[Suckafree]

That was ridiculous. I hate it when refs go on little power trips like that. Completely ruins the game

[socomberetta]

Look at his face.

Thats all the justification any ref needs for giving him a tech.

Lol.

You hate to see this at the professional level. It's bound to trickle down to college, high school, and even little league. And one day some poor child is going to concuss himself flopping amatuerly and end up mentally impaired and join ISH as clippersfan87. Just a shame for all stakeholders involved.

[AMISTILLILL]

As a guy who enjoys watching this new Clippers team play, even I'm willing to admit the flopping is getting ludicrous.

Jeff Van Gundy even called it sad.

[bmulls]

I would bet a lot of money he was T'd up for something he said, not the high five

[Kobe 4 The Win]

I would bet a lot of money he was T'd up for something he said, not the high five

Even if he did say something he wasn't saying it to the opposing player and he wasn't saying it to the ref. That was a bullshit tech, period.

All these gifs have nothing to do with the technical that this post was created about. If you want to talk about flops go to one of the 50 flop threads and I'll join you to complain about it.

No thanks. I support gay marriage, but I don't roll that way myself. Find me a video and I'll gifize it for you though

"Flops' like that don't bug me since it was a foul. The ones that are annoying when there is NO contact and the player yells or falls, which wasn't the case there

Just because there is contact, doesn't mean there was a foul.

[reppy]

Seriously. Suddenly basketball is a zero-contact sport? gtfo. go watch ballerina if that's what you want.

[qrich]

Just because there is contact, doesn't mean there was a foul.

And I said that where?

[Phong]

http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-3brbbe.gifBut.. but.. but.. there was clear contact there so it's not a flop. Zbo's forearm maliciously touched Evans' headband so it's not a flop at all. It's a dramatization of REAL CONTACT.. not a flop ~ Clippersfag86

[Celtic_Pride]

T for flopping 2 times..Reggie didn't even try to flop after that

Marc Davis is the man!

[Sarcastic]

And I said that where?

You said the flop doesn't bother you because there was a foul. I am saying that was not a foul. It was just incidental contact from a player running through a screen.

There was. Incidental contact doesn't equal the players arm flailing up as they try to go around a screen.

[Sarcastic]

He's not flailing his arms. Their arms are already touching each other before the movement starts. He tries to run underneath with their arms locked, and Evans falls down as a flop.

Defenders arm is on its way up before Reggie flops.

[Sarcastic]

Defenders arm is on its way up before Reggie flops.

It's because they are tied up. That is not a foul.

[gasolina]

What a pussified fans we have now. I miss when you applaud players for fighting through screens, not for flopping on incidental contact.

I guess Zbo posting up becomes an offensive foul now, because there is A LOT of contact, you know.... when backing down your defender? :facepalm

[qrich]

They were tied up until the defender flailed his arms. Reggie over-exaggerated the contact, but still was a foul.

Somebody needs to notify qrich that clippersfan86 has hijacked his account and is bringing qrich's credibility down post by post

You really think a little shoulder tap from Allen is going to do that against a Reggie Evans?

Read it again when you can get some reading comprehension.




I've been officiating pee wee league games for about six years now, and 90% of the time a defenders arm swings up like that trying to fight around a screen, its called a foul. Just like the majority of the time, a defender swiping down to take the ball away from a driving player, is called a foul as well.

[REACTION]

Agree with qrich here. It was a flop by Evans, but it was also a foul by Allen. That's not the play where this technical was called though, so it's kind of irrelevant to this thread.

[qrich]

fixed

Even if it was Pee-Wee, I'd bet its more than anyone here has done.

It was. People are acting like I'm saying Reggie didn't flop...need hooked-on-phonics or some shit.

It is a foul, but probably wouldn't be called if Evans didn't make sure to get the officials attention with the over-exaggeration.

What was the technical about again? Surely it's not about the high five.

I remember that ref. He made a ton of questionable calls against the Celtics when playing the Pacers. He was the sole reason the Pacers even had a chance that game, would have been a blow out. Oh and he was the one that tossed out Rondo in the playoffs.

Guarantee you every NBA fan will know his name like Joe Crawford. He makes his presence known.

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't really give a damn if the Clippers get reffed fair anymore. I simply want those bitch ass piece of sh** floppers out of the playoffs. They're an embarrassment to the league. If the refs do a Lakers/Kings Game 6 job on them in Game 7 I'll :oldlol: ass off. The Grizzlies are everything I love about basketball and the Clippers are everything I hate.

[Myth]

I don't understand why people (Clipper fans) are fine with flops if there was a foul before hand. If there was an obvious foul on LeBron and LeBron rolled 30 times and ended up on the other end of the court, would you say the flop was fine since there was an actual foul that led to the flop? No, you'd say that shit was stupid and doesn't belong on the basketball court.

[Qwertyazerty]

There was. Incidental contact doesn't equal the players arm flailing up as they try to go around a screen.

IMO, but I've never officiated any basketball game and I am more used to FIBA referring. In this clip Evans left foot is moving when the contact starts and his pick isn't straight, his body is unbalanced and looking for contact with Allen. In my understanding that's never a foul because that's not a proper pick.

It's a combination of the two that determines the severity of the flop to me; the amount of contact, and the sort of reaction displayed. If it's a simple jerk of the head in response to definite contact but slightly exaggerated, that's a lot less severe than jerking your head out of nowhere in an attempt to draw a foul on absolutely no contact. In the former, a foul might very well have been called regardless of the overreaction, but it wouldn't have been called in the latter.

[senelcoolidge]

The Clippers would have swept these dirty memphis chumps already if the officiating was not so ridiculous. These refs need to be fired..it's embarrassing.

Little league != NBA

That's not a foul, especially in the Playoffs and the way this game was officiated.

[PyrrhusX]

Ok so the highfive was a totally stupid reason for a technical.
But in reference to other gifs .... goddam teh clippers flop alot.

Yeah I'm with you here. I cannot stand fake hit/falls (where absolutely zero contact is present) and I feel just as upset with fake injuries. On the other hand, in many occasions, I'm okay with the exaggeration of contact when clear fouls are taking place. However, there's a line to that type of maneuver as well.

I have a hard time painting all of these interactions with a broad stroke. I'd say I actually don't mind the vast majority of exaggerations, where it's a slight over-response to the opposition committing a clear foul. In many of those cases my thought is if the opposition didn't commit a foul in the first place, there'd be no reason for their counterpart to try and showcase their illegal actions. But again, even in those cases, there's always limits and exceptions. I just happen to reserve most of my displeasure for the fake zero-contact falls, fake injuries, and extreme overreactions to small contact (like Baron Davis against Mehmet Okur: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTdERYOtqsg).

[JohnnyWall]

This was hilarious. Nobody on the Clippers or at the commentator's table knew what the **** the technical was for.

A high five... :oldlol:

Mark Davis

And that Reggie Evans getting "pushed" by Tony Allen was a huge flop. It may not look as bad in the 320 x 240 gif, but in real time it was so bad even JVG and Breen commented on it. TA had his hands on Evans waiting in case he needed to fight around the pick, and Evans just waited a few seconds and threw himself back head first. He doesn't even make them look real and fall the way it would look if he were really pushed.

Refs are just so stupid, they just say "I see Evans fall down, he was pushed by whoever is nearest" and get duped time and time again
