I never used to like guys like Damian Lillard & Darius Garland because of the way they foul bait. Some people say “don’t foul them then”, but the truth is they are looking for the foul. I love the way Kyrie, Steph, Jokic etc. play the game. 90% of the time they genuinely going for the basket and sometimes get fouled.

But after watching these guys who play the game fair get fouled and not get the calls, I now understand the foul baiters/floppers like Embid. It’s almost like you not gonna get the call if you don’t sell it. I don’t judge LeBron for his antics or Doncic for complaining out there every night. It’s tough.

There’s too much disparity between the refereeing & the players in terms of punishment. I Know this has been said multiple times already but there needs to be accountability too for and from the refs.

(I just read the rules, what is ‘NSFW’ ?)

    I’m at the stage with all of the interruptions that I think they should get rid of all reviews. Just fine the floppers in retrospect, maybe one missed game if they get five of them in a season or something.

    Also just have them give free throws for missed calls as the game goes on. Someone drives and makes or misses a shot, if it’s a missed call then at the next stoppage they can get their free throw. Don’t hold the game up.

    Everything else the refs just get it right or wrong I don’t care. Look at the state of the reviews, they get it wrong half the time anyway.
