One more thing to scream at the referees about
At first we thought this was a joke, but apparently it's for real. Nicolas Batum, get your checkbook out now.

When the league takes away another part of the showmanship, the fans will either stay home or bring more fertilizer to watch the grass grow.

There are a few guys on the Lakers that should also be looking at their check cashing balances this season.

Nothing too subjective in that standard. I'm sure this will work out fine.

It's a great idea, and video review is the only way to catch floppers. I wish soccer would follow suit.

I hate flopping. It is the primary reason I don't watch Soccer or Basketball. There's something about grown men throwing themselves on the ground and throwing fits at the refs that reminds me of watching little kids.
"No fair mommy!"
This ain't theater, it's professional athletics. The two don't mix.
If you grew up watching it and say, "It's just part of the game" I will respond, "Well then I guess I don't like that game."
