VIDEO: Patrick Beverley Blatantly Flops Against James Harden and Doesn't Get the Call
By Karl Rasmussen
Pat Beverley is a tenacious defender, no one can deny that -- not even Marcus Smart. But sometimes the Clippers point guard gets a bit carried away with his antics on defense, especially when tasked with guarding an opposing superstar. That was exactly the case Friday night when Beverley was shadowing James Harden. Pat Bev slammed his body into Harden's and brazenly flopped, collapsing to the floor in dramatic fashion.
Seriously, did he think he was going to get away with that?
Beverley, of course, was pleading for an offensive foul, but not even a Bollywood producer would cut that into a movie, the acting job was so pitiful.
Don't be deterred, Clipper fans. Beverley will be right back at it, trying to draw the offensive foul on The Beard in any form possible. His energy is unmatched, and while he does get carried away sometimes, it's invaluable to the team.
