    The flop is having an impact on the playoffs, and it's being caught much more than it was in the regular season.

    Miami guard Dwyane Wade became the latest recipient of a postseason flopping fine Monday when the NBA ordered him to give up $5,000 after a review showed he over-exaggerated a foul during Game 2 of the finals that was charged to San Antonio's Manu Ginobili.

    And there's an ironic twist -- Ginobili is often considered a master flopper, but he wasn't even warned once about it this season.

    "He took a swipe and he hit me," Wade said Monday, before the fine was announced. "It was a late call by the ref, but he called it."

    The league saw it a little differently.
