    Did Chris Paul ever get fined for his flop on DeMarcus Cousins? That's suspension worthy.

    I think it was a partial flop, but I don't know if I would have been able to make the call to fine him. It seems kind of border line to me. He was definitely pushed

    Duncan does fully extend his arms, Asik adds some acting to make it clear he was pushed.

    If that's a flopping violation, there should be one given for EVERY SINGLE NBA GAME played this season.

    I called BS favoritism cause we beat the Spurs and it was against Duncan.

    At 8m a year - he can pay those fines every game and be fine.

    Yeah, I guess. It was obviously a foul on Duncan. I still don't know how they reconcile the fact that refs often won't call a foul unless the players shows that they were knocked off balance or knocked down. If Omer doesn't embellish on that play they probably miss it and Duncan frees himself for an easy basket.

    First all, $5000 versus Asik salary? LOL! Yeah, that will get flopping out of the game.

    Second, Duncan put two hands into his chest and extended his arms. That should be a foul. So the fine is both ineffective and wrong.

    Third, how about fining Duncan for his constant whining to the refs? His histrionics make Al Pacino look reserved by comparison.

    Do they usually fine players more often when the flop resulted in their favor?

    Seems like a minor flop to me, given duncan did push him some.

    That was a legit foul by Duncan. I don't think a player should get fined for flopping if it was a legit foul.

    It is the only way to get the heavily biased refs to call anything a foul on the Spurs.

    This whole anti-flopping rule is a joke.

    That's the spare change he forgets in his pocket when he takes it to the drycleaner
