Hard for people to know whether you are joking or not regarding the Heat since you're known as the resident Heat 'rooster' sucker here in the forums.

I'd say that's warranted.

I hate Martin's game and I hope he is cancerous to OKC.

Very good. (Y)

But I thought Kevin Martin's flap also deserved a fine.

Absolutely. As with their zero tolerance technical foul policy though, the real test of its effectiveness will be to see some superstar players receive fines and warnings when appropriate.

I wonder how Dirk game will be affected with this rule once he return since I have seen him flop the last couple of years.

It depends how willing they are to warn (and subsequently fine and suspend) All-Stars.

League says this isn't a flop, just "overembellishment"

they've said that drawing "traditional" charges isn't going to be considered flops

They also used the word "over-embellishment" in their definitions of flops though, so there's an inconsistency there.

Here is Crash's warning, couldn't find his fine flop against the Heat

Welcome back Chauncey, have a warning

Has anyone else noticed that games are more physical though? I've been noticing more contact with bumping and pushing without anyone falling to the ground.

The good thing is that Dirk's goofy and lanky playing style often makes it look like it's not a flop. He also tends to flop a lot more on offense especially after reachins and rebound colliding, something which is tough to judge by the refs, tougher than those defensive flops and falling whilst shooting/lay-up.

Did Love get a warning for that "elbow" he took to the face against the Sixers?

Definitely a little bit of embellishment by Wallace there, while Chauncey absolutely kicked out his leg. Fair call in both cases.

I think Wallace took the threat of a flopping fine as a challenge. I don't think he flopped this many times in his 6 1/2 years with us as he has with his <1/2 season in Brooklyn.
