[Shams] Sources: The NBA Board of Governors will vote on July 11 to approve two changes that would begin in the 2023-24 season: – In-game penalty for flops resulting in technical foul free throw (trial basis) – A second coach’s challenge awarded if first challenge is successful

    I suppose that’s a good thing about no Harden.

    We are already going to have to watch Embiid mope and not box out for entire games when he gets called for a flop in the first quarter.

    Incoming “oh no what will Embiid the big fat stinky flopper do now” jokes

    I played 2k for the first time ever last week. When I found out there was a flop button I spent the next 5 minutes laughing making all my players flop nonstop. It was the only fun I had with the game. 2k blows.

    the challenge thing is a no brainer

    anyone who watches college basketball knows this rule is not good and in addition never affects who you think it will.

    How about one challenge, and you can keep using it until you are unsuccessful? Why limit to just two, with how consistently terrible the officiating has been, there needs to be a better option than two challenges.

    By our definition of flop, Embiid does it a lot, but I don’t think the nba is going to come up with a strict enough definition for what Embiid does. He at least just goes straight down for the most part. I only see this affecting the flops we see where a guard just jumps the opposite direction like an anime. Besides, the refs won’t call it when it matters anyway, so who cares

    Calling Owners “Governors” is cringey and stupid

    If you don’t want flops, call offensive fouls. They won’t do that because then actual defense would be legal again.

    Oh that’s why the Celtics traded Marcus smart

    I dont like multiple challenges. Just some more bullshit to slow the game down and add more modelo commercials.

    I don’t care how many challenges they give teams. The bigger problem is letting the refs that made a bad call review it and expect them to admit they were wrong more often than not.

    The review on a challenge should be done by a third-party ref in Secaucus or wherever the hell they always go for review. Then it won’t take 15 minutes of deliberation just for a ref to confirm they were not at fault, thus wasting everyone’s time..
