OK fine, call it a flop. These fines however, are reserved for egregious flops, which this was not. If they fine on this, they could fine on at least 3 plays in every damn game.

Like I said, sets a bad precedent
The fact that he fine at all for flops set a terrible precedent. I'm not sure what kind of control or appeal the NBAPA had about that but it's pathetic that this whole anti-flop fine shyt was able to come through in the first place. It's just a way to get money back from the players.

This anti-flop fine shyt came in, and it doesn't seem like the players are flopping any less... and the refs really aren't ignoring a lot of obvious flops either. The emphasis should've always been on the officials and not the players on that shyt anyway, but it appease enough of the fans who wanted to complain about it so it's all good.

Agreed, it never made sense to me. I was surprised as well that the NBAPA didnt get it tossed

Was that the flop they fined him for? I was expecting the and 1 floater where he randomly shifted 2 feet in the air...

Weird. This is similar to what he did when he hit the big shot against NO, and the league said they should've called a foul
