    Definitely flopped, but I'd like to know how they go about picking and choosing which flops they are going to fine. Seems arbitrary.

    Yeah that was very cartoon. He looks like a puppet on flops.

    Brewer is always entertaining.

    bs. (i.e. bullcrap).

    parenthesis added because otherwise the post will be too short to go thru.

    so I assume they'll be fining the Mavericks 1 billion dollars for that last series?

    I'm surprised the Clippers haven't been worse than they have though... though they're making up for it with their complaining.

    I wish reggie would shut up... always saying the wrong thing...

    Further, if it actually WAS a foul, it should be disqualified for fine consideration. This was a foul, he did lose his balance, and he is a quirky lanky dude, that said, he embellished... so... whatever.

    Definitely a flop, but ummm -- are Corey and Jet honestly the ONLY guys who've been fined for flopping this whole postseason? o_O

    Harden, Blake and CP3 have had some really bad ones this post season and nothing has come of it. I guess the NBA doesn't want to flame it's more popular players because it undermines how good the game is. Conflict of interest if you ask me...

    exaggerating after actually being fouled, in my book, is not a real flop (especially when the ref crew was headed by crawford :)).

    pretending to have been fouled when you weren't, is.

    Flopping fines are to players who are "bad" at flopping. Better acting is needed.

    Is that why since Blake started doing those Kia commercials he hasn't seen a flopping fine? That makes sense. He didn't come here for a history lesson, he came here to flop.

    He got pushed really really really really really really really really lightly. However, CB is really really really really really really really really light.

    Then there are fouls every single second. Brewer didn't just sell it, he over sold it. He did what Kevin Martin and Fisher did to Asik.

    Brewer can't flop. Do you see how skinny he is? He's a twig out there of course he's going to be flying all around the court at any slight contact.

    Has Lebron EVER been fined or even warned for flopping? He's practically the "King" of it.

    In all seriousness, how does the league determine what is flopping and who is just really weak/light-weight?

    I agree it was an egregious flop, but Chris Paul is coming back soon. Let's pay attention to what he does too, NBA...

    I thought that was the reason why Dallas didn't get a ton of fines for flopping like mad? What gives?!
