MWPeace Discussion: likely out for game 4 (pg. 201)

Doc Brown wrote:Nothing I hate more than somebody that disrespects the game like that. 6'8 250 flopping on the slightest contact. I wish this was the 80s-90s and someone could just level that POS and get a simple foul call for it.

For his second flopping offense, the NBA has fined Brooklyn's Reggie Evans $5,000, league source tells Y! Sports.

What's this quote? Did I miss him say this last year?

Can't say he's wrong, but Dwight and Pau weren't exactly fighting to get shots, the ball was a hot potato in their hands.

Ariza3 wrote:well when they get fined $25,000 for removing their jersey, $5,000 for flopping seems kinda low. I mean flopping can change an entire games outcome while removing a jersey (like Bynum did) is just out of frustration anger etc and has no affect on the outcome of the game.

That's a good point. I think Kobe once got a $100.000 fine for saying something offensive to a referee, can't remember what it was but it wasn't that long ago.. Not saying it should be that much, but it could certainly be higher than 5k.

What was crazy about that Kobe fine was Noah (I believe it was him) called a ref the same thing yet got fined less.
