    Default Flopping = Fine

    The NBA has announced that beginning next season there will be fines levied for obvious "flops". No word on how much they will cost, whether the fines will escalate for repeat offenders, or whether suspensions will be an option.

    Anderson Varejao's defensive abilities just decreased by 40%. Coincidentally (and ironically) Rasheed Wallace went on a post-game rant about flopping on Wednesday, for which he will likely be fined. A censored excerpt: "All that bull(bleep)-ass calls they had out there...you've all seen that (bleep)," Wallace said. "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." For once, it appears the league agrees with Sheed. May. 29 - 10:08 am et

    Some players will be in trouble next year

    About time they did something about the flopping...

    Well, Rasheed probably will be fined, but since next year all fines will be paid into Rasheed's charitable foundation things should be OK.

    The flops, the lack of intensity of regular season games, the whining and crying - to hell with the NBA.

    I think they should call a foul or technical for obvious flops. Kinda like how they give a yellow card in soccer for "diving".
