Let’s be completely honest: the new age rules has generated a ton of flopping and frankly it’s disgusting to watch. However, can we blame players for wanting to get an advantage during the game? Klay Thompson pointed out that Blake Griffin (a notorious flopper) has manipulated refs into calling unwarranted fouls. Additionally, Thompson is aware of the potential harm Griffin’s flailing arms could cause to opponents; all in the name of flopping.
“He is a good guy off the court but he probably just … I mean … plays pretty physical and flops a little bit,” Thompson told The Wheelhouse on 95.7 The Game radio in San Francisco.
“He flairs his arm around so you know you might catch a random elbow or something that doesn’t you know rub off too well on guys,” Thompson said. “He’s kind of like a bull in a china shop, kind of out of control sometimes. And then you do just see him flop sometimes like how can a guy that big and strong flop that much.
“I can see how that gets under people’s skin and be frustrating to play against.”
Let us pray that we see a first round matchup between the Warriors and Clippers.
