The league did this on purpose as to not make LerBon/Heat favoritism too obvious. That way they can rig it for game 5/6 and when someone questions it, they have game 4 to counter.
So there is "reverse rigging" going on, just to throw people off from the rigging hypothesis? Tinfoil hilarity.
These fines are bull. They should make them flagrants so that the opposing teams have an advantage the next game. 1 flop=1 freethrow for opposing team + fine.
West's isn't a flop, you can see LeBron hooks his foot around his and West stumbles. Raising his hands is a sign that he didn't touch LeBron. I don't understand how that can be called a flop considering so many other uncalled flops.
the double flop is pretty awesome. when you only need one video for 2 flopping violations that's pretty good. lebron has the much more exaggerated flailing but west's looks funny because it was delayed, like he noticed lebron flop and figured he should do something too, and he didn't sell it very well. he was just going through the motions on that flop. also, this is at least the 3rd time in the last 25 games that the heat have been flagrant fouled during a game and the refs on the court saw it and reviewed it and still didn't call it and the league had to upgrade it later.

Hilarious that two pacers were fined. When I was reading Pacertom's posts I thought only the Heat were flopping and his beloved pacers would never do such a thing.
I can't believe Wade's flop wasn't fined. That seemed like the most egregious of them all. Glad they fined some players though.
They only fined LeBron because he said flopping is a natural part of the game and you can't get rid of it lol dumb public statement that just goes against stern
