Open wound...poor salt. Splitter fined for flopping

[doobs]

Haha that was a terrible flop, well deserved fine

[hommeaetage]

I'm guessing it's for the one he did when Ibaka had a hand on him in the high post.

[UZER]

Is the official getting fined for letting WB steal the ball from Parker while standing out of bounds right in front of him?

I agree it's a flop, but it's just hilarious.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Pay the fine, keep flopping until you get calls in our favor. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

[UZER]

The spurs are getting spanked for playing soft, and now they're getting fined for playing soft.

[LakerHater]

Durant flopped terribly in game one, TWICE!

[RD2191]

How embarrassing.

[LakerHater]

[superbigtime]

that was egregious flopping.

[RD2191]

Really wasn't that bad compared to KD, tbh. He tried selling a push off by Ibaka.

Serious question ---

Can the NBA fine a coach or an organization for deliberately misleading statements about a player's condition?

Brooks relished his over the top statements about Ibaka's condition to the point of volunteering them when not even asked.

He was not attempting to convey information but rather attempting to convince. There may even be a word for that.

Is that pretty much a part of the game (or not)?

[HemisfairArena]

Pop should get fined for flopping as well,,,

[slick'81]

Poor tiago

[Knoxxx]

Comical but where was the foul on Ibaka? Splitter been roughed up some (the Perkins forearm) so you can't blame him for trying to go to the well again.

The problem is we need tougher play from Tiago, and that ain't it! He's been invaluable at times in the playoffs, but with OKC best of 3 then hopefully Heat looming, he's just a backup center to Duncan playing limited minutes at this point.

For the NBA to fine a Spurs player after the laughably bull calls the Thunderefs have been getting the entire playoffs is mind boggling. Shall I mention game 5 against the Clips? That was down right series changing cheating bull . How about the offensive fouls against Patty? The Westchuck steal while out of bounds? The LARGEST DISCREPANCY IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA IN FREE THROWS IN THE 3RD QUARTER OF GAME 3 OF THE 2014 WCF! Hopefully Tiago stands up to that piece of Adams tomorrow night.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Lol

[Manudona]

What a load of hot steaming . Disgusting.

[TE]

That was a flop...however, the inconsistency of the NBA doling out fines for obvious flops is so subjectively disgusting.

Thunderfan made a thread and their homerism shined brightly...apparently, Durant and Westbrook don't flop rofl

If OKC wins the series I will sue them for missinformation as I bet a lot of money on SA.

Yeah Perkins, Butler, Durant, and Westbrook all have flopped in this series...
