The league is so inconsistent with their fining, it's incredible. You couldn't have criticized the officiating any more than Galinari did, and the guy just gets away with murder. Why? Because he's saying it in another language?
And just for the record, he was definitely flopping from a solid screen set by Gasol.
“[The referees] would certainly have called that type of pick on our big guys. It was a crystal clear foul but, as everybody knows, they call fewer fouls for you when you play against the Lakers.”

Probably because nobody cares what Galinari says.

Re: Why isn't Galinari being fined for criticizing the refs?
Is there a precedent set already on guys being fined for saying stuff in other languages to foreign papers? I figure there should be and I figure guys have gotten fined but I can't recall anything

You get immunity if you complain in a foreign language. It was in the new CBA.

Because he's a joke. An awful awful joke.
