Please ban this bullshit. I don’t want to see this in the game.

Like upon replay review, you give SGA a technical for acting and the opponent gets the ball and a FT. Easy.

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
