@Region Philbis,
He surely sunk his image to all-time-low point with his off-the-cuff presser comments the previous year. He redeemed himself in the eyes of many with how he helped Heat to win this year - with focus, determination and playing like a madman who seemed in control of his emotions as well as his on-the-court performance.

I'm no fan of his or the Heat but barring injuries,,,I see them as odds-on favorite - speshully now with Benedict Allen added to the mix. Sheesh he took $3M less to increase his chances of winning one more title? Can't really blame him - or can you? This is almost as bad as when Clemens (cough, cough -'rhoid rage) went to the Yanks after that brief spell in Toronto Blow-Jays. After all within the division it potentially decreases the Celts chance next year of advancing to the Finals. However, it increases the drama. It won't be dull (I hope).

The 2012 "Dream Team" only beat Lithuania by 5 points, and were trailing them late in the 4th quarter!

@Region Philbis,
No kidding, I was at a beach, saw that on the TV of a beach bar, and we bought a beer just to watch the rest of the 4th quarter. Not every day you get to see USA B-Ball in a close game.

NBA to crack down on flopping

The NBA officially adopted an anti-flopping policy Wednesday, announcing a new rule that will fine
repeat offenders this season.

Any player who flops during a regular-season game will be subject to a series of penalties, beginning
with a warning for first-time violators. After the warning, players will be fined in increments of $5,000
for each additional flop over the course of the season. The fines increase to $30,000 for a fifth offense.

The NBA stated it would consider suspending any player who violates the anti-flopping rule more than
five times in the regular season. The league said it will announce at a later date a separate set of penalties
for flopping during the postseason.

"Flops have no place in our game," Stu Jackson, the NBA's executive vice president of basketball operations,
said in a written statement. "They either fool referees into calling undeserved fouls or fool fans into thinking
the referees missed a foul call.

"Accordingly, both the Board of Governors and the Competition Committee felt strongly that any player who
the league determines, following video review, to have committed a flop should -- after a warning -- be given
an automatic penalty."

The league defined flopping as "any physical act that appears to have been intended to cause the referees
to call a foul on another player" in an official release.

@Region Philbis,
Well, it could be a good hire. He knows how to get wins out of Steve Nash. Not sure how Kobe will do in an offense that doesn't revolve around him, though.

@Ticomaya,

i don't see it working.
too many egos in the locker room, not enough unselfish players on the court...
