“You know what was the first word of English [Varejao] learned? Flop.”

Instead, you'll have to hand out fines, techs, and suspensions based on tape reviews. That's where it is more reliably determined, and thats the only way to get rid of it.
Right now, if they can fake out the ref, it gets REWARDED. But after the game, you can make the penalty so severe that they wont chase the reward the next time.
This is way too logical and awesome to ever be implemented.

They already won in the Playoffs, they're in the Finals aren't they.
Speaking of flops.

Lean wrote:Agreed on how the NBA applauds Varejao's "heroics" especially in the Detroit series. Game 6 was a terrific example. Sheed was ejected because he's all blown up with this flopping by Varejao. A slight bump yet Varejao falls back? Then a charge? Give me a break, the NBA needs a new commissioner.

All he does is run back, and fall over... It is just fucking disgusting
P.S. Could someone suggest to Flip to get a couple of players who are NOT in their 30s and are about to retire. The whole starter line-up is going to go within 2-3 years. They are already underachieving because of stamina. Rip and Prince need some younger team-mates.
