Pro  5761     Bartlett, TN |  Subject: Flopping can lead to fines and suspensions!The NBA announced that this season they will be reviewing flops and issuing fines starting at $5k upwards to $30K and then possibly suspension!
I can't wait to see how this plays out. Chris Paul, Manu and D Wade had better watch out this season! |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Flopping can lead to fines and suspensions! Great. Maybe next they can implement a rule where you’re not allowed to take more than one step with the ball without dribbling it. They could call it “travelling” or something. (What? They do? Are you sure? I only ask because I don’t think I’ve ever seen it called.) |

As a fellow soccer fan, I do thing that if they start giving post-match suspensions/yellow cards for flopping and over-acting, this will stop. It will require system in place for review of matches, but well worth it if you ask me. |

I would personally vote that they start actually calling fouls on the lakers. I'm still bitter about Game 6. |
