Flopping Policy

This should at least cut-down on the extreme phantom flops (AK's fall on Dirk, Baron Davis fall on Memo, every Chris Paul whiplash).

They wont fine anyone. This will last a month tops, like it did a couple years ago when they would T a player for acting out. Every year before the season starts they say they will crack down on flopping and it never happens.

The NBA is actually still super strict on acting out. Have you been watching games?

So basically your arguement is that there will be some improvement but not huge amounts of improvement.

I will take some improvement over none.

Because they went overboard the 1st month. They took too much emotion out of the game. Flopping is not (I guess I should say "should not be") an integral part of the game.

I have to assume that the NBA will review every game and then pass out fines. It definitely shouldn't be left to the refs as an in game process.

It isn't, as far as I know.
 
This is going to be so difficult to interpret that the change will be modest at best.

The ones who are really good at it will continue to get away with it and every fine will be appealed. After a while players will figure out how much they can get away with and it will gradually evolve back to where it has been.

Nice try though.
 
This was too funny not to post:

RT @HowardBeckNYT: Judging by quotes I've seen on Twitter, every NBA player is adamantly anti-flop and loves the new rule. OK then.
 
This will my last post in this thread unless I stumble across something Jazz-related. From @LakersReporter: Howard joked to us that Nash should get fined for a flop in practice; Nash then won the argument by saying there's "no video evidence."
