Manu's been so uninvolved lately that he doesn't even get the chance to flop.

He almost injured Wade
Give us those 2 points for Gary es. Who gives a about 5k when they earn millions.
The NBA: making money out of nothing at all.
The foul didn't decide the game, the turnovers, no energy, and poor games by the big three were. That fine doesn't make me feel better. That chump money is coming out of Bosh's personal Victoria's Secret fund.
Watch what you ask for, a couple Spurs will be ejected.
small victory but a victory nonetheless.
unless duncan used his jedi skills to push off bosh without using his muscles, it was a clear flop.
It stopped our momentum and made Duncan even more passive than he was before.
Not sure if you meant it that way, but yeah, it's forgettable anyway, as if this is the one thing that prevented the Spurs from winning the game. That was just a small incident, and flops like that happen all the time. So far, I don't think there has been too much serious flopping from either side in the finals - or bad officiating.
Yeah big deal. It took 2 pts off and if I remember correctly, Allen gets an and one on the other side? Either way they were horrible all night missing clear outs, missing offensive fouls and slaps for steals. Then they have Javie there to legitimize it. It's sickening. Do they really think we are that stupid and that an ex nba official is going to change our minds on something we just saw?
He should be suspended for having floppping many times
Rolf my ing ass . Of course it had something to do
too bad Steve Javie can't get fined or banned from the ABC games. I loved his ty take on that foul, just a company man for life.
The Steve Javie takes are worse than the missed/poor officiating. Its a sport and I can understand a bad call or 2 given the pace of the game and the fact there are 10 people that 3 refs have to watch. But don't try to justify that ty officiating with a retired ref who is obviously trying to find any justification for the call on the floor.
Easy fix but I doubt the union would allow it....
I think they should adjust the fines based on a percentage of their pay, say 25% of their daily pay per flop, up to a max of 150% per game. (6 flops in a game would cost them a game and a half worth of pay). A percentage based fee would be fair across the board and not allow the high-paid players to flop for a cheap fine that might otherwise be harsh towards role players. $5000 might be a hefty fine for a player like Nando, but is a drop in the bucket for a player like Lebron or Kobe and may well be worth the fine if it gets you the win. Percentage based on pay is much better and makes it fair across the entire league.
Have the 4th "reserve" official reviewing plays on a monitor with the option to override calls, and not just flops... This should have been an obvious option YEARS ago.
apply a probation period to officials, say missing obvious flops over a set period of time then have them review game footage, if after so many games they continue to have "bad" officiating, they get fined $5000 after that... If it continues, suspension for a few games without pay.

Stop posting these ty videos
Just stating the obvious. "The NBA where rigging happens."
what about ing Chalmers he flops at least 3 times per game.
and what the is up with Manu? The er can't handle the rock and I haven't seen him hit two shots in a row this whole series.
I'd like to see flopping removed entirely. The only way that's going to happen is to stop blowing the whistle though, which means allow hard contact. Whatever they ins ute as punishment down the road on this outside of a technical foul (should be reviewable tbh if booth calls for it) isn't going to stop it. It's a product of pussifying the league with Euroball trash and the attempt to globalize the NBA by making it more friendly to weaker players from world leagues and to create an offense first environment in the NBA because that collects gate receipts.
He will injure his dinosaur ass some day because of so much flopping.
Btw, I just wanted to find some of his flops on youtube but this got me stopped for a second
According to the retired "expert" Steve Javie the foul occured before the flop. Sealing a guy off using good inside position is illegal apparently if it's a miami heat player who is sealed off. That's just not fair to do something like that to Le & co.
If the nba wanted to deal with Flopping, they would. $5k fines are worthless and not a deterrent.
Make a flopping call in the game worth a technical and get the ball back. Called after the game, a fine with suspension. Come down really hard on it. As Stern fined the Spurs earlier this year, it would be for the good of the game.
