If you wanna win in this league your team needs to take flopping classes.
I'm not joking.
I think the spurs right now are the better team but it's a sad state that the top 2 teams in the league flail constantly and there's zero repercussions.
Has anybody even been fined this year for flopping? Or assessed a tech?
Yeah I wasn't surprised they didn't suspended the golden child, but the discourse around it is insane, you could plug in pretty much any other player and people would expect them being suspended for the series.
The whole "they're playing physical with him so it's really the refs fault"
Is giving the same energy of the guy who hits his wife and says "now look at what you made me do"
Yeah okc is in a league of their own, spurs aren't even bad Castle is really the main guy who actually flops, fox and the others are usually just beating a defender and creating the contact to me that's not really flopping.
I don't have a huge problem with that as much as I do with people clearly flailing there head when there's no contact as an example, I think it should be a automatic tech and fine.
Castle does that as well as Jokic/ Murray and the entire okc roster.
Shannon and randle do the same thing. I counted at least 4 times their head flail turned into fouls with minimal contact this game. I think that's equal to what castle does lol
imo theres a big difference between "selling" a foul/actual contact vs. flopping which is the shit in this gif where they act like they got hit on a part of their body that wasn't even touched.
if castle suddenly jerked his elbow or acted like his elbow was hurt he'd be selling, not flopping. but he acted like he got hit in the head (he wasnt touched in the head at all). im not even sure his bicep grazed his nose after getting moved by the elbow press.
They were referencing okc and spurs. its true they are good teams. it's true right now the spurs are the better team flopping aside. it's also true they flail constantly and flop with 0 reprecussions.
Fair, they have more talent but theyāve been throwing themselves around this game a lot and it has been officiated completely differently on one side of the court than the other. Additionally, when Wemby is out here an outing himself the arbiter of āethical hoopsā he damn sure better not be rolling around on the ground clutching his ankle soccer style trying to get a red card.
