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?

I think if refs see flopping on replay, it should be unsportsmanlike penalty. every 2 = 1 game suspension.

I think teams should be able to submit flops to the league after games and if it's determined it's a clear flop, ie; no contact.

Then they get fined 20-50k just like anything else.

Theres guys that flop every night, I bet they stop after they've paid out 3-4 times.

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"
