Looks like NBA will start calling Ts for "flopping" next season. My list of main culprits?

Just to get it out of the way, I'll start with our very own...Jose Alvarado

Then...the usual suspects in no particular order.
Chris Paul
Austin Reaves
Dennis Schroder
LeBron James
Marcus Smart
Joel Embidd
James Harden
Trae Young
Luka Doncic

I'm sure there's quite a few others that will be T'd up for floppin' quite often...but that's my A-List. Who am I leaving out?

They were also going to crack down on offensive initiated contact this year. It didn’t last long.

JMO: I think there is a whole lot less of that "jumping into" crap since they've started the crack down...just my opinion, I COULD be wrong.

Yea. They do it for half the season and when the games start to matter after the all star break, they swallow their whistles again. Remember when they were calling traveling and moving screens in the first half of the season? It died down post allstar break.

LeBron better go ahead and retire.

He's lasted this long so he'll stick around to play one year...with Bronny...since I don't think any other NBA player has done the father & son thing.

All the stars lined up for LeDrama this year and he still could not get it done. He knows AD and himself aren't sniffing a championship as the top two players and wants the Lakers to sell out for a third star. The retirement hint was just a signal to the FO.

Yep, this is a meh for me.


I don't think anyone really complains much about flopping when it doesn't work and the flopper is called for a foul. The issue is when the flopper tricks the ref and gets away with it, so how would this new rule help?

I do wonder if they'll also review these, causing more wasted time.

I'm all for punishments for flopping but not during a game. Have it done afterwards.

Pels won’t benefit from this, we’ll be the only team they allow it against

They won’t call all of LeBron’s that’s for sure.

Just a cheap circus trick to take the focus off of the fact that he's not in the same conversation as MJ and Kobie.

It would be great to have them automatically reviewed and an ejection if there is no contact. I hate those fricking pussy bitches.

Will get called for it more than he should.

If Bitch arse gets regularly called for it he’d be tossed from a game.

Reaves is a target by Schroeder Smart and the young guys who grew up watching Harden. Embiid won’t get called much nor will LeBron. Maybe once in a blue moon but he’s 38.

CJ is someone I could see getting called on.

Of course Brooks and Dray

Dumb question I'm sure but if the refs can see the player just fell down on their own why doesn't play continue 4 on 5?
Why call it at all?

That's the point I was sorta making above.

How does this rule help when the issue is the ref being tricked and giving the flopper the call?

They’ll call it on Herb. I don’t know why, but they will find a way.

Marcus Smart is unwatchable with the way he flops.
