    So, the NBA does issue warnings. Interesting. Considering how much Harden and so many others get away with, I could have sworn that they didn't. :rolleyes:

    Really, out of all the mega floppers in the league, they decide to go after Young. Ok...

    It was a flop, so I don't mind that he was warned - but there should be plenty of warnings for other folk already then. Is he the first of the year?

    E.g., Harden should've been warned last game.

    harden should be averaging an inefficient 18ppg for a non-playoff team. I've given up on the nba officiating that guy properly.

    I can't really understand the investment, either. he has no charisma whatsoever, at least wade (the last guy for which they went this deep into the ref well) had that.

    can a scraggly beard really do this for someone?

    I wish we could get a click of that Harden play from the other night when Harden drove and then just jumped on the floor looking for a call. I know we all shared some good laughed at it in the Gametime Chat. haha

    That was a flop but come on, where are the warnings to Harden, Griffin, Cp3, Lebaby?

    They are trying to inflate his scoring so they can call him the best SG instead of Kobe.

    He's got some charisma. He's made some commercials and whatnot. I think they're trying to make him Wade, but hopefully they never go to the extremes they did for D-Whistle.

    So I'm assuming Harden has been warned as well right?

    So Chris Paul does this sort of thing like 10 times per game and it's cool, but Young does it once or twice and it's unacceptable. Uh, ok.

    Nick Young, first game back, warned for flopping. Harden averages 10 flops a game, pat on the back.

    i really wonder if the NBA has even issued a single warning to the mega floppers like harden, griffin, and paul

    it's hard to believe they actually gave a warning to a guy in young who isn't a flopper at all. great job nba

    well, young does love to kick that leg out, but your point stands.

    btw, loved the announcers harping on young's leg kick on that one play while they ignored that he was angry about harden grabbing his arm on the way up. tom penn is just a giant douche. how any nba team employed that mouthbreather is beyond me. oh wait--it was the grizzlies, who subsequently employed john Hollinger, the stat guy who would flunk an intermediate stats course. /rant.

    CP3, Harden, and Blake Griffin should be homeless by now, where's the consistency?
