rondo really sold that flop.
He was in the air, how the hell was that a flop?
And I'm not clear about the rules I think. How was that not a flagrant?
It definitely wasn't a flop.
In terms of the rules, there's nothing that talks about going for the ball. Instead, it's a judgment call about "unnecessary" contact. Generally, if you grab a guy's arm -- which is what Noah did -- you're not going to be called for a flagrant.
