I know it. In the Nuggets-Spurs game last night, at the end of the 3rd quarter the Nuggets were up by about 15. The Spurs intentionally fouled Javale McGee 5 possessions in a row to force him to shoot free throws (he was 4/10 and is generally under 50%). Nuggets wouldn't even get the ball across half court and they'd foul McGee on the other side of the court. Not quite flopping, but just as bad for the game. Nugs had to take McGee out so they could keep playing. I feel like the refs should be able to call Technicals in situations like that.
