So let me get this straight. The media goes to Rasheed Wallace, asks him his opinion on the game, he is honest says how he felt but because of that he gets fined.

Detroit’s Rasheed Wallace was fined $25,000 Thursday by the NBA for using profanity and criticizing the officiating after a playoff game the night before.

After the Pistons’ 106-102 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, Wallace went on an expletive-laced rant targeting officials Mike Callahan and Kenny Mauer.

“The cats are flopping all over the floor and they’re calling that,” Wallace said. “That ain’t basketball out there. It’s all entertainment. You all should know that.”

It may have been emotional because the game had just finished but he was honest and the league obviously agreed with him because the next day they announced that they are finally gonna crack down on flopping.
