If Pollard doesn't move in a collision, neither of the above apply, so it's a no-call.
I hate flopping but the reason Luke Kennard and Scoochie and LeBron are constantly throwing their head back when a defender gets into their time zone is because they know the refs call 'displacement'. A seasoned ref won't call it despite the home crowd going nuts but it won't stop them from faking their way to the FT line.
And it needs to be addressed because it's making a joke of the game. I say we make 'fake' fouls a 'T' and, like hockey, institute a 2-min ban on the player.
