Do players get fined and/or suspended when they flop? Because both needs to happen.

[italstallianion]

As of this season (I believe) players have been getting $5,000 fines for flopping. I know Tony Allen got fined for flopping in the playoffs vs. the Spurs. (His flop caused Manu Ginobili to get a flagrant foul which directly led to the game going to overtime)

 

And I believe either Derek Fisher or Thabo Sefolosha got fined $5,000 when they both simultaneously flopped against Omer Asik.

[Flynnatic10]

Flopping is a freaking joke. It should be banned JMO

[Jasonbay44]

Its amazing the Heat keep winning with how bad Bosh and Wade are playing in the playoffs. The Heats 3 leader scorers tonight were Lebron, Haslem and Chalmers.

[User Name]

Chalmers is an enigmatic player. He spends all season looking like he should be playing in a developmental league. Then the playoffs start and every time the Heat are struggling, he plays like an All-Star.

[rjortiz]

Heat pushed to Game 7.

[Jasonbay44]

Wade and Bosh are absolutely s***ing themselves this series.. They combined to shoot 4/19 for 15 points today.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

And Wade had the nerve to bitch about his role after the game.

[rjortiz]

Pacers +300 for Game 7. Really tempted to take a chance, but I'll probably play it safe and go with the +7.

[Jasonbay44]

Why does Roy Hibbert have to apologize and face a fine for saying "no homo"?

 

So stupid.. smh

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Fined 75k for that comment. There's a game 7 tomorrow, and the media is worried about stupid s*** like this? Like how do these stories hold so much weight?

[rjortiz]

Bosh trying to do way too much

[jacksonianmarch]

Any fan rooting for the Pacers who is not from Indy or San Antonio is rooting for the equivalent of the death penalty for the NBA. The NBA has slowly rebuilt their credibility and their standing in the sports pantheon. Nothing will decimate that more than the snooze-fest an Indy-Spurs finals would be. It would rate lower than most anything else on TV

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The Heat looking good. The fact that they're a second half team, might get really ugly.

[italstallianion]

I really wished the Heat lost since now I think they'll win the title again, which really sucks since they'd be beating the Spurs for it. But that said I'm still happy that the Bruins are up so it's not a total loss of a night.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I don't know, the Spurs have a pretty good chance.

[italstallianion]

It's either going to be the best NBA Finals I've ever seen, or the worst one I could ever imagine.

[Divinity]

what a game, Spurs take game 1 in Miami

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I had picked Miami but I'm ready to flip-flop after game 1. Spurs just outplayed the Heat, despite that luck shot by Parker.

[Jasonbay44]

Lebron's block on Splitter was so nasty

[Jasonbay44]

Gary Neal is f***ing dominating the Heat right now.

[italstallianion]

I'll take a Sox regular season loss with a Spurs playoff win anytime.

[Palodios]

The Spurs humiliated the Heat. Hope that happens a couple more times this series.

[italstallianion]

The Spurs got humiliated in the previous game so they had to come back, especially while holding home court advantage.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Kawhi Leonard was f***ing everywhere.

[Jasonbay44]

Danny Green and Gary Neal outperformed Wade and Lebron and it wasn't even close, lol.

 

But yeah, Leonard's defense on Lebron was amazing, I really like that dudes game.

[Jasonbay44]

Lebron, Wade and Bosh were all at the top of their games tonight.

[italstallianion]

Just a horrible sports day for me. Red Sox, Spurs, and technically the Bruins since the game finished well into the morning. God hates me.

[redsoxrules]

I'd say game 5 is a must win for the Spurs or else they have to win 2 games in Miami wich IMO is highly unlikely.
