As I've maintained, the ability to sell the refs on calls has become an important skill in this league. Watch a Rockets game or a Celtics game and you'll see a lot of the offense is designed to try to get to the line even on jump shots.

LMAO That is pretty good and funny. But this has been going on for years. I can't remember but I thought they had a flop rule.

Denver looks way better than I imagined.

BOS/TOR are just better teams probably although HOU/OKC were choking the entire game.

That was some cold blooded shit from OG.

Kawhi is too good for this team.

And seriously - these games look like McDonalds All-American high school all-star games.

Shit, they look stranger than that.

All the crap on their jerseys that make them look out of balance and nothing like an NBA jersey, the empty stands.

I could be watching euro-league games and it wouldn't be much different.

The weird schedule/start times have something to do with ratings being down but man, the cognitive dissonance watching these games is just remarkable. It does not 'look' like an NBA game and that absolutely impacts the viewing experience.

This season just cannot end quickly enough.

There's been a ton of incredible play, if you've paid attention at all. Why would anyone want that to end?

Yea, I don't blame the players for playing to win and taking full advantage of what the refs will give them.

I blame the league.

If it was up to me, they would review fouls during the next commercial break. If it was a clear flop, reverse the call during the timeout. If it was particularly egregious, like pretending to be hit in the face with no contact, award a technical.

If I was going to run to be commissioner, my platform is eliminating the clear flops. (Subtle flops would still happen, but you have to live with that)

When he decides to take over he sure is.
