No limit on stupid
I turned it off at the end of the 3d. GS wasn't just losing. They looked horrible. Next morning -- they won!?!? Saw the replay of Steph's shot and assumed he must have hit the FT of the 'and one' to make it a four point play. Or he missed it to keep the score tied. 'Cause he got hammered. Never imagined no foul called. Actually took me a bit to figure out there was no call. Then saw this article and thought about putting it up as an indication of all that is wrong with modern officiating. [stereotype]
"Then they started making 3s. A lot of 3s. We're talking more 3s than a bad dating site."
Even at its very best, the NBA is still garbage. There is no reason to not call that foul.

Incroyable! especially as he gets whammed on about every third trey he shoots, without a call. And I don't know the equivalent term to 'flop' for acts committed when on offense, but Harden should fined for his egregious and bogus arm-flailing and head-snapping. At least the officials seem to have caught on and are not 'gifting' (van Gundy's term) him foul shots for every entrance into the paint. And that manner of play, in contrast to Curry's, explains as well as anything why Harden is not the MVP.
Davidson has a player who, when he tries to draw a foul after contact, has me looking for the grassy knoll. Back and to the left. You'll get those calls sometimes. Eventually, the refs catch on. The Warriors did a nice job keeping Harden's FT total low. His coach still whined about the contact on Harden's drives.

Salary and endorsement contracts plus bonuses from the Warriors, Under Armour, State Farm, ... for winning the MVP, starting All Star game, and 1st team NBA.
He'll sign a max contract in 2017 about the time TV money starts raising the limits ... likely in the $20-30 million annual salary range. $150 million man?

Whoa. The Rockets were far more aggressive at initiating contact and just simply playing 'grab the jersey' defense.
On this particular play, there was definitely contact by the defender when he was up in the air. By definition (in my book), that cannot be a flop.
Compare with real flops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cl5mnyTyFI
