  1. I hope there is an installment plan for the fine, 1st check can't come sooner

  2. Thatā€™s a forearm push-off to the face of the defender first. And Loose long hair makes it seem more exaggerated

  3. I appreciate that the refs don't stop play right away but I think they should go a step further and review it on the next available timeout instead of assessing a tech right after the play. He was clearly elbowed which may be difficult to tell real time until you review the replay and slow it down. All the refs see in the moment is a player recoiling back, which if you're hit in the jaw you're gonna have some reaction to it. This begs the question though, does this mean that any reaction, if even slightly exaggerated and with contact or not, is going to be considered a flop? Whatever the case is I'm atleast happy that the league is doing something though. We'll see how this effects regular season games very soon.

  4. Good now $u$$ies like marcus smart can't get rewarded for flopping like a bish

  5. Atleast review it or the refs need to be sure with these calls. I donā€™t think itā€™s needed in the way itā€™s implemented right now. We know stuff has to be exaggerated at times because they may not call the right call otherwise either.

  6. Good intention but it is stupid rule. Just impose more higher fine or count toward future game suspension. potential flop should be review after a game. It is stupid rule to implement.

  7. He got elbowed in the face! Thatā€™s no flopā€¦ players should be allowed to react to an elbow to the face. Come onā€¦
