Arenas finishes the half +3 while our three best players -- Bass, Richardson, and Nelson -- are sporting a -1, -1, 0 +/-, respectively.

whic is why I don't believe in the plus & minus as a judge in production.

+1 <----not an efficiency rating

I remember when Stern said on some radio show that he was going to start fining/suspending players that flop....how did that turn into "Respect for the game"

Would be nice

Paul Porter would go all: "Flopping foul on nr12, Kevin Martin, his first, 3rd team Flop" :lol:

Stern *is* the game, and he demands respect.

I've always hated it when players play like that.

Especially because it is guaranteed to work against us. He has more than twice as many FT's as our whole team combined.

Stern could fix that quick if he instructed the officials to start calling fouls on obvious flops.

Or fining people for it. That would really make people want to cut back.

I'd love to see Varejina try all that crap he does now, knowing there would be a $3000 fine waiting for him when the game was over.

O/T but one of the adverts that was just played on ESPN here was for a national trashy newspaper.

They are having to give away free tea and jaffa cakes to sell it :lol:

Ginobili would have to sell his house and play for free if they're gonna start fining flops

Does ESPN just refuse to update Dwight's pics they have for him?
