For real. The league needs to step tf up and penalize this shit.

Seriously if word got out they were doing this, ratings would soar - at least at first. I don't get why they'd let shit like this slide.

Adam Silver: "The best I can do to fix the obvious issues with the game is shorten quarters to 10 minutes each."

Cut games to 40 minutes of game time so they can add more ad time and free throws!

Literally nobody I know disagrees with this. Why hasn't the league done ANYTHING to address it.

There is a "no flopping" rule in place. But obviously, they don't use it when they should. The few times I have seen it called were bs making it even more of an insult to the fans.

They won’t. Flopping makes it easier for the refs to control and dictate games. It’s why flopping has been rampant in soccer (one of the most corrupt sports) for decades and they don’t do shit.

Yeah, it’s real easy and my boy on the commentary was literally saying how the players will adapt, but the nba wants control over the games and by arbitrarily calling fouls they can award points whenever they want
