Thursday of last week, prior to game 1 of the Heat vs Pacers series, Pacer coach Frank Vogel said of the Heat, that they were "...the biggest flopping team in the league". He elaborated further by saying, "Oftentimes, they're falling down even before contact is even being made." While those statements may be founded in a certain amount of truth, they also cost him $15,000. The next day, while on the Doug Gottlieb show, Zach Randolph said, "The biggest floppers is the L.A. Clippers...by far." No word as to whether or not that will cost him anything. I'm fairly certain there will be no fine for me saying that I've always felt that Manu Ginobili and the Spurs were the biggest floppers in the game (sorry Hood). It seems everyone has an opinion on what is the latest trend in the NBA. During the Heat/Pacer's game 1, NBA Commissioner David Stern said, "I think it's time to look at (flopping) in a more serious way." Stern added, "It's not a legitimate play in my judgment. I recognize if there's contact (you) move a little bit, but some of this is acting. We should give out Oscars rather than MVP trophies." I couldn't agree more, but who gets the Oscar? Furthermore, who wants to see it rewarded anymore than it already is. I just wanna watch a game.
