Marcus Smart slapped with flop warning for embarrassing dive

In other news, water is wet.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart picked up yet another flop warning for yet another embarrassing flop in the dying seconds of his team's loss to the Houston Rockets.

This is Smart's first warning of the season. Further flops will lead to escalating fines and potentially a suspension.

Here is the play in question from Monday's game. Notice that Smart launches himself out of bounds after Al Horford's go-ahead layup to win the game rims out.

Smart's latest dive is patently ridiculous, yet it still comes way short of his egregious sell job in last year's playoffs that saw his Celtics lose in the first round to the Atlanta Hawks.
