Bout time....but are they gonna hire Denzel Washington or some elite actor to decide whether or not someone is flopping?

Taking a charge......how does it effect dudes that really are holding position to draw a charge? Like Kurt thomas.

Lol!

Reggie Miller should get fined for starting all this ****. He was the worst if not the first.

What I really wanna see is when guys like Shaq or Curry make a move and a player ejects himself to the floor like a rag doll with hardly any contact......the refs should imediately take off their belts and start whoopin that ass.

Reggie started it, but Vlade Divac perfected it. Reggie at least had a reason - he weighs like 20 pounds, but Vlade was a 7', 240-250lber floppin' all over the place.

Anyone see Sheed's rant?
"You saw them calls," Wallace said after the game. "The cats are flopping all over the floor, and they're calling that (bleep). That (bleep) ain't basketball out there. It's all (bleeping) entertainment."

Go get 'em, Sheed!

I'm rooting for the C's, but, Sheed's right. Although his own teammates do it too so... shut up, Sheed.

Yes, his own teammates are big offenders. I 100% agree that the NBA would have a higher quality product if the flopping was severely reduced.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Seriously, why not a technical foul or hell, even a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct like the NHL does. Fines are totally meaningless to players making millions of dollars. If they think it's something that affects games, then why not punish it during the game where it would have actual meaning.

Or even simpler, the league can make sure that their refs don't call fouls when someone flops. If players are falling over themselves flopping and no fouls are called, it'll stop.

It's not just Ginobili, I was rooting for the Lakers but I can't stand watching Pau Gasol flop around like a rag doll and then act like he never committed a foul in his entire life on the other end.

Did you catch the headline today the NBA admitting Crawford once again F's up a game?

I agree with your assessment as to what should be done.

Guys like Ron Artest will be even more effective on both ends of the floor, if the rule is strictly enforced.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

Why in the world would the NBA focus on something like that? Why not pot smokers or something like that? What this means is, someone's gonna really get hurt now. The people who take charges will have to make sure they get hit hard, to be convincing.
I'll never trust this' team again.
