Wade draws flop foul on Ginobili, but it actually was a foul

The haters will do anything to believe that the Heat win only by nefarious means, but if you look at this video, it is clear that Ginobili swipes Wade's hand and forearm. Ironically, the ref was out of position and missed the actual foul, and the call he made was obviously based on the flop he saw. Nevertheless, Ginobili fouled Wade, and Ginobili was assessed a personal foul on the play, and anyone who argues that Ginobili did not foul Wade on this play must be blind.

I'm a Heat fan and that was not a foul. Hand is part of the ball in that situation. It was a flop and he should be fined.

Agreed. He hit the arm and hand.

Besides, if anyone can't bitch about flopping, it's Spurs fans.

So why did Wade act like he hit him in the face?

NM, you aren't arguing that Wade didn't flop

While the Heat flop a lot sometime, I think the Spurs flop just as much

Wade oversold it and should be fined. At least he didn't writhe around on the ground like a french pussy though.

Flopping happens is every game, by every team.

Does it suck? Yes.

Does the NBA need to do something to address it? Yes.

But in the mean time, everyone needs to accept it. As frustrating as it is, it's part of the game right now.

Manu is the king of flopping, but that is a textbook flop by Wade

I HATE the fact that the ref blows the whistle because he sees Wade's reaction but not the actual foul. Regardless if its a foul or not, it should not be called unless the refs see the foul.

Yeah, Parker acted like a bitch on that elbow incident. Tighten up your core, pansy.

This.

I cannot wrap my head around the people who have jumped on the Spurs bandwagon because "LeBron is a flopping bitch"

Have these people ever watched a Spurs game?



ETA: Yes, I realize and acknowledge that the Heat flop as well.

Wade definitely flopped. Probably wouldn't make an impact on the outcome of the game, but it was quite obvious that he flopped. I agree that he should be fined, but we all know that's not going to happen.

Los Heat won by 2 points. Two. How would the change of possession not have an "impact" exactly?

Did Wade flop to sell the foul? Absolutely.

Was it a foul? Absolutely.

Was it poetic justice that he did against Ginobili, the reigning king of floppers? Absolutely.

I want a Ginobili FatHead.
