Erik Spoelstra was been $25,000 on Friday, "for critical public comments about how the Miami/Indiana playoff series was being officiated."

Prior to the Heat's Thursday shootaround, Spoelstra said, "The league does not have a problem with hard fouls on our two main guys. In nine games now, there's been over a dozen hard fouls to the face, some of the tomahawk variety.

"Some of them have drawn blood. They don't have a problem with it, so we don't have a problem with it. Our guys will continue to attack. They'll play their game and we'll focus on what we can control."

Frank Vogel was fined $15,000 for comments about how the “referees should officiate” the Pacers' upcoming series with the Heat, NBA Executive Vice President Stu Jackson announced Sunday.

"(The Heat) are the biggest flopping team in the NBA," Vogel said to the media Thursday. "It'll be very interesting to see how the referees officiate the series and how much flopping they reward.

"Every drive to the basket, they have guys not making a play on the ball," Vogel continued, "but sliding in front of drivers. Oftentimes they're falling down even before contact is even being made."

Luol Deng insists he will play in the Olympics even if he needs surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist.

“I just know that I’m looking forward to playing in the Olympics,” he said. “I’m excited about it. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid, and I’m going to prepare myself for it.”

Deng tore the ligament earlier this season and decided to play in pain rather than undergo surgery.

“Honestly, my whole career, it’s the toughest thing I’ve done, and when I look back at it, I’m glad I did it,” Deng said. “I really hope, in the long run, it’s going to make me a better player. I learned a lot of things to be able to do that in the NBA, but I’m glad I made the decision. We had the best record, and we were going into the playoffs with the best team, so it was definitely a great decision. Unfortunately, other things happened.”

If Deng undergoes surgery, it will be after playing for Britain in the London Olympics.

“I haven’t really ruled out not getting the surgery or getting it,” he said. “I just haven’t made that decision. I just know that I’ve got the Olympics ahead of me. Since I was a kid growing up, it’s something I’ve always wanted to be a part of, and the fact that it’s in my hometown that I grew up in, in a country that gave me the opportunity to even be here, I’m looking forward to it.”
