Terry to the Mavs... "I learned it by watching YOU, OKAY?!" Seriously Terry does pull some cheap crap here and there, and I don't care for it, but can't blame a dude for trying and doing what he has to do. I just chalk it up to him being a former mav. Still, can't believe we're getting fined considering the way that whole team flops around with their arms in the air like they just don't care.
I saw that and it was a flop, but the only reason he did that was because they were calling the same **** on us when they flopped so...NBA agenda is becoming very clear!
There is no point of having this anti flopping crap. If the NBA actually enforced this fairly, Dirk wouldn't be making any money playing in the NBA. As a matter of fact he might even have to pay the NBA to even play in the league. This is a travesty.
when is Adam Silver going to start fining the refs. Players are going to do it regardless, 5K is a slap on the wrist for them. These refs are too protected it's embarassing, and absolutely no accountability is being held against them. Sure the 2 minute reports are accurate but that's their headquarters saying my bad, not the actual ref. My 2 cents.

No fines for Dirk for his multiple flops. No fines for Barea. Call it evenly, NBA. You look silly.
So, Dirk's and Tyson Chandler's $1,000,000 fines are coming soon after this, right? Right? Doesn't seem that anything bad happened to the Mavs on this play where Terry was fined, so is Rondo going to get a fine for flying into the 5th row on James' first basket last night? Surely, right? NBA is so messed up. If Harden can be suspended the next day for lightly kicking an attacking Lebron James in his lady parts, surely egregious flops are worthy of the same treatment. Hand out 1 game suspensions for flopping. That will end it overnight. I know it would be a Herculean task, but I'd be very curious to see what certain players' performances would look if you erased plays where they clearly flopped. Ginobli. Fisher. Lebron. Dirk. Etc. There's that one group that's analyzed like every play that goes on in a season. I can't remember which group it is, but I bet they could do this. Just add "FA," "flopping-adjusted," to the stats.
The thing about fining the Mavs is that I don't remember the NBA fining for a flop where the call was awarded. And of course they got a lot of those calls
