Dwayne Wade is the master flipper refs fooled

[LogicMan]

What a sell job Dwayne. Pathetic but these refs are fools

I want to see the fines get raised, and suspensions once you've been fined multiple times and it continues. Something along the lines of $75K/flop, and 1-game suspensions when you get to 5.

agree that they have to come down a helluva lot harder on flopping...

 

[Steelboy84]

Never thought I'd see Wade flop so much. Used to really like watching him play.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

It was clearly a flagrant flop, but after what the Pacers did, and what the Spurs do, I really don't care.
They need to flop to try to even the playing field.

Thing is he and Lebron are well known flipper so these refs need to get such an obvious behavior right

And trust me ginobli is no better

 

[LogicMan]

My iPhone converts all flops to flips

 

[bksballer89]

Is this the first time a player flopped? Where was this thread when Lance was flopping multiple times per game in the ECF?

agreed again, but at least HE never claimed he was too good to do it, unlike you-know-who...

 

[LogicMan]

Ouch we are back on that.

So your iPhone is a flopper too?

 

[LogicMan]

Yeah or my fingers are too honkin big

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

It was just a matter of time until the same as always people attempt to turn a Wade thread into a James one.

He's probably busting out the dirt in retaliation to the Spurs AC problem in game 1.. That's my guess because Wade usually doesn't ball like that ..

It's because they all knew the Pacers really stood no chance. The Spurs on the other hand are the only team that can beat the Heat. That's why they care all of a sudden. And yes, I admit that Wade flopped on that foul call on Manu, deal with it. Manu's been getting away with that shit for his career.

Whoa whoa whoa gentlemen, I think we all know that LBJ is the only player in the history of the game to do any of the following so just hate him like everybody else:

-Leave a team to win rings
-flop, LBJ invented it and is the sole executioner of such practices
-have a press conference
-publicly state his desire to win rings in a pep rally
-habitually slay unicorns and live off the blood
-is racist...because he is respected by Doc rivers who we all know is a racist because he was a member of the Celtics
-punches kids in wheel chairs
-single handily responsible for sinking the titanic, Hurricane Katrina (and the 5 days it took the white house to deliver water), the Great Depression (which probably only the Haters remember) and the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill

I know that because I read the interwebs, Lebron James is the root of all evil.

The current rules:
1st flop - warning
2nd flop - $5k
3rd flop - $10k
4th flop - $15k
5th flop - $30k
Anything after that eligible for suspension

I believe Lance Stephenson is the only player to flop enough times to get past the $5k

 

[redseat]

How is $5,000 dollars considered a reasonable fine and a deterrent? Really? That's pocket change for him and will do NOTHING to prevent him from doing it again! Hmm... a win and Ginobli OUT of the game and ONLY pay $5K, OK let's do it..

Do you feel this way everytime a player gets hit with the $5k fine? There have been many players caught flopping during these playoffs. Or is it because it was a Heat player that you suddenly are unhappy with the established rules?

Oh look a Heat fan thinking it's all about them because we mention a Heat player!

OF COURSE I DO! Flopping needs to stop period! Yes Celtics do it all the time as well. But honestly how is this fine of a player of Wade's caliber, KG, Pierce, Rondo, etc going to "hurt" them?
