2017/18 NBA Regular Season

and man, marcus doesn't really flop all the time, but rather is just anticipating the contact and embellishing. its not like there isn't contract, but in todays league you can get away with the contact on offense if the defense stands pat, so he figures out where the contact is coming and sells it. its smart defense, and is why the guy is still a large positive impact on the floor despite his shooting inability

Harden is the main one who does it while driving. Half the league does it on jump shots, where they up-fake and essentially jump into the defender to create contact and flail up a shot to get FTs. 
 
It's really no different, it's part of the game.

If it was part of the game, Harden wouldnt be living at the free throw line

Head jerks, throwing arms out like he got sniped

No one does it like him. Sure you can give him credit for being able to bait refs like that but its annoying to watch, thats all

Edit: and nothibg more annoying when he locks defenders arms on the three point line and just jumps kicking his legs out like he just got shot and gets 3 fts at the line. Just play basketball

if that ain't the definition of a flop.... Urban Dictionary defines it as When you fake a foul that is clearly over exaggerated in order to gain an advantage.
 
flopping sucks, but the refs let it happen all the time. There isn't a penalty for it. In soccer, the flopper can be given a yellow card for flopping and that happens every now and then. In the NBA, the refs dont care at all. They will still blow their whistle. It's hard for me to fault the players. This is really a league issue that must be addressed instead of ignored. I think it is an underlying factor in all the ref/player tension.

Not exactly sure what the argument is because I'm not about to go back and read the previous pages, cause fuck that, but Kevin Love was considered to be a top 10 player in the league at that point in his career, some argued top 5, and was without question the best PF in the league. I guess Porzingis could reach that, but aint that easy.

Not what were talking about haha

 

[Paulius]

Last 20 years theres only been twelve 20/20 points assists games and Russ got his second one tonight

Lets get it

Also

OKC is 4-0 against Golden State, Houston, Toronto, and Cleveland.

The scoring margins in those games were 17, 5, 17 and 24.

That's a +63

Bron went -39 tonight which ties his worst plus minus that was set 12 days ago lmao

Invited his family and friends for the special lebron night!

When can we finally admit that hes not the best player in the league anymore?

 

[Paulius]

Did my guy Mexi log off after those round 2 game 6 Harden facts?

 

[Paulius]

Isaiah Thomas: "In Boston we were a much better defensive team. We tried harder. I don't think we trust each other right now."

Yikes, the one to speak. Also cant seem to get boston out of his head

That breed never really existed tbh. Like white alligators. Always been rare.

Houston is probably best situation

 

[BNC]

So is this 2018 Duke class the best recruiting class of all time? 1, 2, 3, and 8 on 247 sports and 1, 2, 3, and 10 on ESPN
