That crap was ruining the game.

 

[Slydell]

Wonder how long 'til the AA recognizes and enforces it?

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Prayers go out to Blake Griffin and the rest of the Clippers

 

[volfan6782]

Somewhere Vlade Divac is crying.

 

[YankeeVol]

The fines should be higher

 

[KingNick865]

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I think it should be automatic ejection.

Somewhere Vlade Divac is laughing, loudly.

[n_huffhines]

My question is WTF did this take so long to come about? There has been a clear need for at least a decade.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Bill Laimbeer disapproves of this rule

 

[gordonr24]

This will greatly benefit the Grizz, as they are a physical team. Grit and grind!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Don't count on it anytime soon. Duke would lose their competitive advantage.

 

[n_huffhines]

Duke is known for flopping? I am willing to bet that perception is just a reflection of how hated they are.

The NBA announced a few years ago (I believe it was the 2009 season, maybe 2010) that it would start fining players for flopping, but once the season started...sssshhhhhhhh...we NEVER heard about it again.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens this year.

 

[Gcrop]

So who will be the first victim (or culprit) to be warned/fined?

 

[n_huffhines]

probably a black guy

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

probably a black guy

The odds for that are very high, but I'll say Ginobili

Will hamper the Euro's, Paul and Harden the most
