NBA set to penalize players for flopping!!

[Stoked]

Give me a break.

They say this crap every year, but nothing ever changes.
The officials call it close for like the first couple games, and then everyone goes back to their flopping ways all over again.

This implies that it is not done by the officials during the game but by the league office after games. That gives me hope that it might be a constant thing.

That's all they can do. Review the game on tape after and then see the flops and go from there. Players will catch on real quick what a flop is. I want the 90's NBA back already.

Oh man. I'd love to see Favors and Kanter learn from peopel like Malone, Barkley, Mourning, Johnson, Olajouwan...

I'm a little curious as to how many plays will be reviewed. A few per game? Every charging call? Will potential offensive flops be looked at?

Yeah I get that, but I don't really have to much hope when it comes to elite players.
I highly doubt this will effect anyone but smaller franchises, and younger players.
Sounds good for the Jazz.

It gives me hope but liek you I am guarded. If it lasts all season I will start to think it is permanent.

I don't think this will necessarily be the dream answer to our flopping problems but every penalty against a flopper is a mini victory.

I suspect it will work like this:

1. Team A complains about player B.
2. League office reviews
3. Fine is issued or not.

This gives the Thunder/Clippers at least -3 W's.

Also changes Raja Bell as a player from 'useless' to 'completely useless'.

They say this every year and nothing happens.

I don't remember this being said once. A few seasons ago I remember they tried to take the emotion out of the game, which was ridiculous, but I don't recall anything about flopping.
