I am sure the first play did get talked about and might have been suggested by the NBA that it was a foul missed. But I think the flop did not help the case for GT to have a foul called.

I don't think the GS no call was a flop. He may have embellished but the shooter was not fading at all until CP comes and gives him the walk under. He definitely took away his landing spot.
