This guy didn't even get hit in the throat. The touch by the forearm was at the top of the chest and then came 10 minutes of acting. There should be a special foreign whining and flopping technical foul.

Watch here as Gasol flops several times "playing defense" against Dwight Howard.

It's totally a soccer thing. I'm not sure if the NBA has flopping fouls, but they should have one like the NHL for diving.

Walton had a really good one last night too and drew the 5th foul on Anthony with his epic dive.

I think it's a soccer thing; the players in that sport act like they got gunned down one second, and the next they're running at full speed.

Flopping really frustrates the hell outta me, especially coming from that guy.

Vujasik wouldn't last the 5 minjutes per game that he plays now.

Yes, but then Gasol would probably be lost to the Fakers.
