I blame football for this
I don't believe they're playing repeats of Champions League when the conference finals are on.
Back to the point, it's sad when basketball has this problem. It's an unwritten rule in basketball that you man up. If no foul is called, you play through it. If you're injured, you don't mention it. See Kobe playing with torn tendons in his finger and Manu who is probably on pain killers with a busted ankle. When there was an obvious foul on the last play of the Lakers-Spurs series, the coach of the losing side says, "You don't call that a foul in the Western Conference Finals". You shouldn't flop and cry about a foul like footballers, and then whinge about it some more in the press after the game calling for reviews and what not.
Hopefully the players themselves will keep things pure, and the floppers can try their luck in the Premier League or something. They shouldn't be in the NBA.
