Marcus Smart is finished in this league.
Brad Stevens moves like a ninja
*Everybody liked that*
About damn time
Can’t wait for the flop penalty to be enforced for the first 10 games of the season and then forgotten for the rest of the season
Will they actually enforce these flopping rules though?
Flop rule will be called harshly to start then called once every 15 games after that
Can’t wait for flopping to be punishes for two weeks and then forgotten
How long will refs follow this rule until they don’t care
How they thought one challenge even if successful was a good idea is mind bogglingly stupid.
Terrible year to have cp3 and Draymond on your team
I doubt we’ll see many flopping technicals called, but even if it’s occasional and inconsistent that’s still an improvement over nothing
Embiid is cooked.
I’m assuming the definition of a flop will have to pretty conservative. Exaggerating contact shouldn’t be considered a flop. Reacting to zero contact should be a flop.
yes and yes
Flop rule will not be enforced at all. Most nba stars flop to a certain extent. Gonna hurt the $.
They actually gotta enforce it consistently and not just for a month
Sad day for Embiid
Just review the flops after each game and make anyone who flops the previous game wear a prison stripes jersey the next game.
Right when we get the flopping GOAT.
James Harden get ready to learn Chinese buddy
I hope they’ll be consistent with flop calls. Not doing this for 2 weeks only and then completely forgetting about it.
Wow. They actually listening to fan base?
This sucks, we just got Chris Paul and now he is going to be useless
They won’t ever call a flop on LeBron.
The challenges need to be handled by someone who is not in the reffing crew.
am I the only one who enjoyed Jokic’s retaliatory flops on Lebron?
Should really get unlimited coaches challenge if the previous challenge is successful. What a dumb way to cover Ref’s fuck ups by only limiting to 2 challenges 🤡
Refs are often fooled by flops during games. The league needs to penalize players after games for flops based on video review. Fines or even suspensions if players accumulate enough flops.
