    Suspend him for 10 games. Let’s take a hard line on flopping. This is the kind of thing that turns people off the NBA.

    There needs to be an accumulation of flopping points. This needs to stop, the fines and “techs” are obviously not working.

      Are they even fining players anymore? According to one site, they’ve only given out 9 fines all year, the last one being 9 days ago. There should be fined player almost every day if they were actually reviewing tape.

      For such a blatant one like this it should honestly be a 5+ game suspension. That would end this shit in a week

        Really?? LeBron’s flops were so much worse and exaggerated! This is nothing compared to other players. In no way, shape or form does it deserve 5 games or more.

        Sadly the NBPA has too much power, not to mention the NBA would never go for something like that. They’re against anything that loses them money.

        Yeah I honestly agree, this shit is so stupid. When someone bangs into you and you go down, or pushes off and there’s actual contact, I hate the exaggeration, but kinda get it. Any time big bodies are moving fast and there’s contact, it’s hard for me to say from my couch oh flop or oh bull shit he shouldn’t have fallen down. But this shit, just making up contact, completely acting like you got hit, and it’s so obvious, fuck that just get rid of it, make an example of players that do this.

    I’m down for a penalty box or suspensions for this kind of stuff. I don’t watch many games anymore because how weak everything is now.

      If you get tapped on the nose when you don’t expect it, you can easily get thrown off. Don’t think it’s a flop at all, but not a foul either
