I stopped watching wresting when the level of fake became too much..

some things can be ignored but this is too much.. the refs are just going out of their way to find fouls to give miami.. The NBA also has done nothing to stop the flopping.. classic example wade on that stevenson drive which would have cut the lead to 9..

lebron, wade, chalmers, all disgusting level of flopping... really can't respect that and the NBA has been full of shyt when it comes to doing something about it... they haven't enforced the flop rule and it is worse than ever..

lets be honest and consider this... for better or worse... you need superstars to win in the nba, whether you like it or not. given stephenson running his mouth to no avail, his price would be down i'd think... we should try to get him if possible. he's a ny product and would probably thrive here.

and lets be honest about your considerations... you are not really considering it. that would be like you considering giving up carmelo hate. you enjoy both too much to give it up.

You can't possibly bitch about the officiating after the way Indiana played today and after Stephenson's flop the other day. It's something everybody in the league does...

flopping is just a fine, right? Which is really not a discouragement for players at the salary structure. I always thought that technical should be assessed (could be done after game) and those add up to disqualifications.

it was a joke.. the same with the bosh foul.. west did not foul him.. just disgusting..this leagues officiating..

JVG is great at calling out the bad calls. I thought things had changed the way most of the first round was officiated but things seem to be the same as when Stern was running things.

which is why I will give silver some time. tough to make these changes in year one.. but If I don't see changes starting next season, I will call him out as well...

Pacers benefited from plenty of BS calls in last years playoffs (Hibbert rules), so as much as I hate BS foul calls, it serves them right!

please don't go there.. and how does it serve them right? no team should get jobbed on bad calls.. your frustrating seems to come from them beating a knick team that wasn't on their level.. the knicks were not robbed, they were dominated by hibbert and george and lance.. that is clear..

It would be nicer if they can do during the game or perhaps after each quarter.

Fines were a good place to start but it certainly is not enough of a deterrent.

I don't blame the heat at all, they are just playing to the flawed system.

The four biggest floppers in the game off the top of my hear are:

Lebron
Harden
Gallo
Ginobli

All time it has to be the one and only Reggie Miller.

If you're going to deny the blatant Pacer/ Hibbert favoritism in last years playoffs (not just against the Knick- heck, one of Silvers first actions was to issue a memo clamping down on the Hibber rules! What does that tell you?!), then I'm going to deny last nights biased officiating- obviously your love of the Pacers is blinding you. The Heat are a better team...
