Good. Now we'll be able to quantify whether the Spurs actually flop more than any other team, and fans will also finally learn the difference between flopping and drawing a charge.
Fish might as well just retire.Quote:

Fuck this league.
We're talking fines not suspensions. How is a fine evidence of a conspiracy? Unless the conspiracy theory involves the league being hard-up for money.
You fine a guy for flopping, hes less agressive on defense. If you fine teams for flopping after playing said teams?
It goes so many different ways. Alot of things people have told me about the league being crooked are slowly becoming right.
reviewing plays that people call flopping fans etc... they gonna end up suspending refs for non called fouls as well...
Fines would only be imposed on blatant cases of flopping. You're not going to see fines imposed when a player does a little extra to "sell" a charge. It's going to be on crap like Chris Paul walking up to Bowen between plays and pretending to get hip checked. That's not a bad thing.
And it shouldn't cause anyone to be less agressive on defense either. If anything, it should cause them to focus on actually guarding their man instead of trying to fool the officials. Also not a bad thing.
I'm not sure how the league is going to be able to enforce this and make consistent calls on this.
Fucking terrible. Putting more arbitrary power in the hands of the league, whether they abuse it or not, will only fuel more talk of conspiracies. If you have a problem with guys getting away with something on the court take it up with the refs.
Yes, but you can't have it both ways. Unless you have robots as the officials, these kind of plays are always going to be judgment calls.Quote:

Here's what I don't understand, why is it even needed?
If the refs can see "clear cases for flopping" they aren't going to blow their whistle. Isn't not getting the call enough? Why would a fine help? It's the players risk to take to flop or not to flop, they may get the call, they may not.
Guys like Raja Bell, the Utah Jazz, and many others are getting a nice kick in the crotch after this as well.
Arbitrary power in sports sucks.
Sometimes they don't see clear cases of flopping. And even if they do, and they don't make the call, it's still something that should be discouraged.
I think you guys are overestimating the effects of this rule though. My guess is you'll see less than ten fines handed down next season for flopping, and even less than that in future seasons. This is really about the NBA addressing something that has been bugging fans, but I don't think there's going to be much of a difference.
Chris Paul is going to be a broke ass mofo.
