NBA institutes anti-flopping rules

So we have the first flopping warning (that we've heard of) - everyone with Jarrett Jack in the pool, collect your winnings:

Somewhere in San Antonio, Manu is biting his nails a bit.

So, what exactly constitutes a flop?  Is it a premeditated fall?  Or just any old fall?  Is it a responsive fall, or a self-initiated fall?  huh? huh? huh?  Do the refs  give style points, after all, some of these guys have worked for years perfecting their form....

Pierce had one against Teletovic.  Heinsohn of all people called it a flop too. I guess he'll receive a warning about flopping just like Jack.

Speaking of Teletovic, I was pretty impressed when he wasn't guarded by or trying to guard Pierce.  A nice stretch 4 with excellent deep range and a surprising arsenal of shots. He executed a deep stepback jumper against Green that stereotyped finesse 3 point bomber don't often make, much less attempt.  Gorman incorrectly said that the Nets had planned on keeping him over in Europe before changing their minds with his play in camp.  One, that's impossible because he wasn't drafted by them and two, he signed a three year deal way before camp started.
