OK. Does flopping include barreling into a crowd and throwing the ball up in the air to draw fouls? Because one without the other is ********.

The rule states that they will punish plays which deceive the referees into calling a foul, so i would imagine they will punish offensive "flops" as well.

I hate this too. It bothers me so bad when someone runs in out of control and then throws the ball into the air, but because he touched someone on the defense, he gets a call. It totally changed the game to a penetrators game.

People like Shane Battier should have their fingernails pulled off slowly.

I guess Paul Pierce is no longer relevant.
Btw, Shaq said today that Dwight Howard is the third best center in the league behind Brook (who he called Robin) Lopez and Andrew Bynum.

It's so funny how the lives of Shaq and Dwight are so parallel. That's why Shaq hates Dwight.

“We as players, we always watch people before us. When I came in it was Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon, guys who played like true centers who played inside. What we have now are centers that are going to the European style, which is a lot of pick-and-roll. Dwight Howard, who’s a pick-and-roll player, some people say he’s the best center in the league, but me being an old-school center, I’m going to go with Robin Lopez and Andrew Bynum because they play with their back to the basket.”
O’Neal is later asked if he meant Brook Lopez, not his twin brother, Robin.
“Brook. Same thing. They’re brothers.”

The new flopping rules are weak. Hopefully they work, but those fines are light. I also wish they'd get rid of the half circle under the hoop.

The anti-flopping fines are kinda stupid when you think about it. The refs are stupid and gullible, so let's fine the players for fooling them!

They could make the flopper sit out a quarter the next game.. or award their next opponent with a Technical Foul at the beginning of the 4th Quarter of the next game. Get creative with it. A $5,000-$30,000 fine is nothing but a night at the club for some NBA players.
