Good. Now give one to the rest of our team. They deserve it.

They're slowly building an identity for flopping and bitching bout calls. Kind of overtaking the Clippers in that area. I, as a fan of GSW, can't stand it.

Hmm. I watched the game and didn't notice a flop. Maybe I missed it, which play was this?

ESPN just said it happened with about 3 minutes left. Don't remember the play.

I saw a few obvious GS flops but none that deserved a fine.

I'd like to see which one they deemed worthy of a fine.

[TylerOO]

It was the pull up 3 he hit when Terrence Jones barely bumped him and he rolled over on to the floor.

[scm5]

Ohhh. That was some damn fine acting!

I was yelling at why they didn't call that foul because it genuinely looked like he got hit on the shot and just overcompensated for the shot with a body jerk and fell.

It was a foul tho!

[UK2K]

He did exaggerate it a bit, but his momentum was already spinning him before he shot.

There was minimal, and I mean jerseys touching type minimal, contact but I don't think that's worthy of a fine.

[Alamо]

Chef curry with the flop

[scm5]

It was a foul tho!

I thought so too, and it might have been but I'm guessing they're fining him for exaggerating the contact the way he did.

Although, there have been times I've jerked my body to get more power into a shot when I got hit. I genuinely thought that's what happened with Curry.

[Fudge]

If he got a fine for that particular play, then he should've gotten another fine for the and 1 floater he hit when Terry supposedly "shoved" him.

Flop State. I hate this. GOD I CANNOT STAND THIS TEAM ANYMORE!!!! I'm losing my mind.

+1

Especially since there was probably a little bit of contact. Curry's not even known for flopping.

[WorldWarriors]

I guess NBA is sending a message. Though it didn't look like much of a flop.

As long as they NBA is consistent across the board with the flopping fines then I'm ok with it.

[hiphopfan777]

Warriors are garbage. They cant do anything but shoot threes.

[Dubs510]

Wth. He did sell it but there was contact. Did green ever get fine for the flop on Anderson ?

[UK2K]

This.

When I saw the thread title, I thought for sure that's what it was for.

[WorldWarriors]

I assume this will get appealed and overturned.

[kamil]

Thanks for posting the video.

obviously, you know nothing about basketball.

Do you even watch nba ?

I don't think Steph flopped on that particular play, he just put up a weird floater and the refs blew the whistle.

The contact was so minimal, I'm not even sure Terry got more than just Curry's shorts on the shot.

[Rake2204]

Curry's contortions when in the presence of possible or legitimate contact sometimes appear to allow him to get off the shot as he pleases. If he had stuck in there and just shot straight up with Jones trailing and being in Curry's space as he was, I'm not sure Curry hits that shot - though perhaps there would have been more contact in that scenario.

He seems like a weird player to officiate in that regard. Whereas a lot of shooters look for the bailout by leaning in and sacrificing their shot, he seems to have a knack for contorting in a manner that allows him to attempt weird shots very quickly and with accuracy.

[Hittin_Shots]

So did Harden get 12 fines?

[Hittin_Shots]

Jason Terry groped Currys ass on that floater. Was close to penetration.

Yes, this was the pull up 3 he made after pushing off on Brewer (below)...

If this is the right one, feel free to call an offensive foul, but a fine for flopping is a bit excessive.

Looks more like avoiding contact..

[Fudge]

Straya ****!

[Taller than CP3]

As MVP of the league, Curry should be ashamed of himself. He's no better than Lebron. I know he looks like a baby, that's why his nickname is the Babyfaced Assassin, but seriously, grow the f*ck up. There is no room in the league for MVP's flopping. It's bush league and something only Lebron would do. You can now add Stephen Curry to that list, f*cking punk ass bitch.

Then again, even then, I'm not sure I'd call that one fine-worthy. The roll didn't hit me as much as an attempted foul draw as it did a random post-shot action. It almost looks like he was already heading in that direction so he just decided to keep on going.

I think Steph isn't all there in the head, though. He might've gotten the retard gene in the family. Just look at his daughter.

[ImKobe]

all these kids grow up seeing CP0 and Bran flop all the time, now you have legitimate MVP players imitating their childhood stars

shame.

[iTare]

Yes, break that wallet out, little boy.

[YouGotServed]

Flopping little bitch. I hope he dies in a fire.

That's not a nice thing to say about your shooting guard.

[raiderfan19]

If that deserves a fine, how can harden afford to pay all the fines he deserves?

[YouGotServed]

Shoo boy, get out of here. Lottery kids these days I swear. Go on and play with your ping pong balls.

Wow after all these much more obvious flops by the Clippers in the previous series, this one gets a fine?

If that's the one he got fined on, somebody either has an agenda or is retarded

[The_Yearning]

We all know Steph has glass ankles. Falling like that protects them.

[kshutts1]

Why are flops fined again?

Rather.. why are the players fined?

What is the purpose?

that could of been called an offensive foul right? or do the refs not usually call a shove like that on a fastbreak?

[kshutts1]

Should have. But Refs have not called pushoffs, unless it was a scrub doing it, since MJ in '98

Yeah was thinking it was this one. He didn't even get the call, though

Ohh, you know what... looking at it now, I'm guessing it's not his initial contortion he got tagged for, but the semi-separate act of rolling over.

I said the same thing...

Looks like he was already falling that direction, probably just easier to keep the fall going and roll out if it.

Great question. Only answer I can see is public embarrassment? Otherwise, I don't know.

Looks like he was rolling over towards the other side of the court to get back on D :confusedshrug:

[ApexPredator]

Seriously, if Curry got fined for that, Harden should have a $3 million tab.

Why is speeding or littering (if you are caught) fined? What is the purpose?

[Cleverness]

Looks more like avoiding contact..

this is correct. obviously didn't want a bunch of contact after the shot with a dirty, smelly Josh Smith. Plus, he wouldn't have gotten any foul call for the additional contact. JVG said it was a foul afterwards, but meh; I don't like touch fouls.

ROFL for fine

Flops usually come with some kind of head snap back action. Blake Griffin and CP3 are great at it. Here's an example

http://s18.postimg.org/rkv3mij0n/cp3_flop87.gif

CP3 got a foul call for that because his head snaps back SO FAR:eek:

[warriorfan]

NBA is humoring disgruntled Rocket fans :lol

[Bobcats2013]

the nba just letting Steph know that his floppin his shet

gotta be slick with it like harden and cp3 or else it looks bad for th eleague

[Taller than CP3]

The Babyfaced Flopper

[gts]

Damn Fudge you a Gsw fan now? :lol

Just for this thread...:lol

[outbreak]

There were 4 or 5 flops in that game from both sides, plenty of blatant flops in the last 2 series from clippers/houston/golden state as well.

[WorldWarriors]

It's just odd that he got fined for it. I'll admit I don't know how fining for flops works. Does the league go back and review tape? Or are they alerted to it by someone?

Anyway, from what I understand fines have been given out sparingly and Steph is the first star player to ever receive one. Not sure what kind of message they want to send with this one.
