Did anyone catch the David Stern comments during Heat-Indiana game?
The question was about Vogel calling the Heat the floppingest team in the NBA and was like, "we will see how it gets called" in advance of series. Stern was very frank and said, "He was trying to manipulate the refereeing of the series, and if I was in charge of the fine amount it would have been more than 15k."
But he acknowledged that flopping is an issue the league will try to address eventually because its not a basketball play and is meant to manipulate the refs, who have a hard enough job as it is.
(more OT: he also had some great comments about injuries and reporting -- I will post in the NBA playoff thread)
