Ha- actually, the nba's official video on the new flopping policy features one by Gallo (the one where he pretended to have been elbowed in the throat:

I hate flopping so much (Still haven't forgotten Lebron's performance in Game 1), and I think most of the players were getting fed up with it too- Clippers started getting a lot of grief. Anything that has a chance of getting rid of this deserves a try:

Or, if unable to determine whether it's a flop or not during the actual game, the following game the offending player has one less foul to give. So last night you flopped, it was ruled as such by whatever league authority, tonight you are ejected if you accumulate five fouls.

But you have to hope that at some point the players sense of shame will kick in and they'll stop doing it. Its absolutely pathetic and makes the whole game look bad.

A few of those were questionable and this is the standard? It appeared as if Gallo really did get smashed in the neck--take one in the neck and see how you react.
