Not that this is the reason we lost but this news does not really help us it is just kind of a kick in the balls. We made the wrong call but dont worry we gave him a stern warning so that next time you are playing clippers and the game is close he might get a small fine if he does it again.

Are you guys even aware of what the rule is with flopping?
Billups got a warning. That's the first step... For everyone... No matter how ridiculous the flop was.
What were you guys really expecting? For him to be thrown out of the league?
The next step will be a fine.
Again, no conspiracy here. The rule is being applied evenly for both Billups and Evans.
If there's anything to complain about it's that the punishments for flopping should be assessed immediately, during the game. Such as a tech.
Again, there's no conspiracy that Stern hates the Jazz and only gave Billups a flop.

I dont think anyone is trying to say it was a conspiracy. Just that the new rule is not helping and is pointless. The refs need to call it right on the court otherwise it doesnt matter.

I'm mad because it was a game changing flop. Ah who am I kidding, they would've just gone with a high pick and roll on Big AL and won that way anyways. Chris Paul is a master.

So, how many flop (for each player) it would take for this new rule to be intimidating?
