Don't blame Harden and Durant, blame the rules

NBA rules actually encourage flopping when there's contact.

[QUOTE]In determining the degree of contact that constitutes a foul, referees take into account a
few factors:

 In open areas like the perimeter, where players are often making large
movements (e.g., cuts/drives), referees consider whether contact interrupts an
opponent

Trust me, I do blame the BS over-officiating the league currently sanctions.

I don't blame them, but that doesn't mean I have to root for them taking advantage of loop holes and representing what is wrong with the NBA these days.

Durant is crafty.

Harden is just obnoxious.

There's a difference between selling a foul and creating one with a flop.

Durant is picasso with a basketball, Harden is starface doing standup

The NBA needs to train refs to be able to tell what is legitimate contact and bullshit overreaction. I swear I have a better sense of what a flop/legit foul is watching on live TV then refs do in person.

Chris Paul and Paul Pierce are better at it then them. CP3 would so well in WWE.

Exactly.

This is why LeBron gets no calls. He doesn't get moved as much by contact unless he blatantly flops.
