Just spoken about in the Warriors/Suns ESPN broadcast, so much for emphasis on putting away flops lol

Have there been any after the Brunson one?

[–] KarrotMovies@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So nice to see players not flop anymore

[–] deets23_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There were like 4 of them in the first couple days of the season and they slowed down

It’s always going to be a hard thing to actually call. Gotta be blatant, embellishing contact will always be allowed since a foul is still a foul but the line between that and an egregious flop will always be tough to tell unless you look at a reply and see a guy literally faking the contact

I'm actually more shocked there have been only 9 fines so far, and all for guards.

That's more than I thought tbh.

I watched two of them basically back to back in the first Celtics@Knicks game of the season, so that leaves 9 other calls across literal tens if not hundred plus games.

And half of them haven’t been flops

[–] PootieTooGood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm sure they never want to get this wrong, could be a bad look. probably only calling it on very very obvious ones

meanwhile Trae Young gets away with two clean flops against DFS and Dinwiddie to force OT smh

[–] Skywalkerkid9@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

And none of them have been against my Cameroonian king 😤

They should add one for Suggs tonight.
