I replayed both calls on Ray Allen first and then Lebron, when they were both basically called for manhandling Parker. I couldn't believe how egregious the flops were on both occasions, and I couldn't believe more hasn't been spoken about them. Seems the enormity of the comeback/collapse swept them away.
Anybody else see these acting jobs?
On the Ray Allen foul Parker acts as though he gets hit in the face and even goes to check his lip for blood. Allen never comes near his face.
On the Lebron call they were jockeying for position and Parker just pulls a classic flop flailing to the floor.
You can't watch these replay's and not see the flopping. Can't say I blame Parker, b/c they can't fine him enough to detract from this nonsense when you're gunning for a championship. Just think it's a) super weak and great acting b) should be heavily fined c) it should be more acknowledged by the media
Both were huge calls at crucial points in the game.
