08:12 AM ET 05.11 | Heat-Pacers jumped out to an early start Thursday with Pacers head coach Frank Vogel offering the first salvo. "They are the biggest flopping team in the NBA," Vogel said. "It will be very interesting to see how the referees officiate this series and how much flopping they reward. Every time you drive to the basket, they've got guys not making a play on the ball, but sliding in front of drivers, often times they're falling down before contact is even made. It'll be very interesting to see how this series is officiated." That said, Vogel insisted his team is good enough that it won't need special consideration to make it a series. "I think we're embracing the challenge," he said.

D Wade is on the floor at least 7 times a game. He seems incapable of taking a shot without flinging both arms and legs. He then expects to get a call and in most cases....he does.
Lebron's delayed snap back of his head on one of his most recent flops was disgraceful. Two of the league's biggiest stars are also two of its biggest floppers.

This is trying to give referees something to think about. Jackson, Pop, Riley (among others) have always done this.

Spot on with that, it becomes more about theatrics than playing basketball, it cheapens the game.
