NBA TO FINE FLOPPING!

[luhbron]

Sorry Utah, your teams best defensive strategy for the past 20 years is now illegal.

Well its about time

[Amel]

finally

[MaxRider]

they said it every year
until i see it
i don't believe it

they better hire some team to review tape
if more than 50% of the team think it's a flop then it's a flop
6th flop you get a suspension
after your 6th flop you'll get a suspension for every 2 flops

[YaoZai]

looks like AK47 is gonna get poorer after every game.

[Baller 24]

Haha, finally **** the Jazz!

[Dinky Bits]

In related news: The Jazz will be the worst team in the league next year and miss the playoffs.

Time to trade Battier?

[TMU]

NBA should pay close attention to Manu, AK, Harpring, Fisher, Varejao, Okur, and Vujacic.

Good thing Divac retired before this. Otherwise, he'd be broke in a matter of days.

There's a world of difference between flopping and taking a charge. Battier takes charges. (I'd like a personal thank you from a moderator for not jumping up and down on this poster's e-neck. I'm showing real restraint here, people.)

In all seriousness, I wonder how this going to effect Jerry Sloan's game planning. Maybe he can make some under-the-table deal wherein he pays all his players' fines for them? Then again, I don't think he's making enough money for that...and he's rich.

They should make this rule retroactive. That way I can watch while John Stockton gets his house repo'd to pay his $150,000,000 fine.

Ribalding, I admire your restraint. I too was about to go off.

[Guy986]

We need to start a fund for Scola.

[A.J.]

It's about damn time.

[superemxguy]

I really really don't like this rule. Its going to end up like the synthetic ball issue.

But anyway... Utah Jazz is now all "FLOP UP"
"Flop AK47"

[BaYBaller]

The love affair of Battier continues huh? I was half joking anyway (which seemed to be the mood of this thread), but I can still see we need a different type of player there. And yes Battier takes charges but he does flop from time to time (as do a lot of players).

And if people think AK or whoever is going to break the bank from this you're kidding yourselves. I guarantee that flopping will still exist more or less and that this will mainly target blatant flops that you can't ignore (i.e. Varejao).

[Ribalding]

I'm about 2 minutes from a 3 day break.

As if Utah could possibly argue they're innocent.

Hah!
