looking at the youtube and watching it live, it didn't look quite like a flop to me.

It looked like a smart play. Sheesh.

Looking at it a 3rd time, it looks like Singler tripped him. It was likely
inadvertent but certainly could have been called.

I definitely thought it was a flop when watching live, and thought it was a good no-call by the refs. I'd forgotten about the new flop rule.

I got a flop warning. That warning came from my wife. I hate that rule.

I've seen ads on TV that hint that that problem might have a pharmaceutical fix.
Lots of them.
