[Adam King @Adamking91]

The Knicks have exposed Harden. Big time.

[Adam King @Adamking91]

Thankfully, they made the correct call. The flopping/flailing, that's another discussion.

[Josh Eberley 🇨🇦 @JoshEberley]

In no world is that a flagrant foul

[Adam King @Adamking91]

Yet again, another example of the fact that the flop rule is a joke.

[Adam King @Adamking91]

Seems reasonable.

[BrickCenter @BrickCenter_]

James Harden flopped ALL OVER THE FLOOR and Dean Wade slipped on the same spot 10 seconds later 💀

[Adam King @Adamking91]

@UsherNBA B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Ben WALLACE!

[Adam King @Adamking91]

@KuKhahil I get that Robinson provides floor spacing. But, some fundamental errors on his part there, led directly to transition buckets.

[Adam King @Adamking91]

What a beautiful idea.

[Alex Baker @AwesemoDFS]

The NBA should play on concrete, then maybe there wouldn’t be so much flopping

[Adam King @Adamking91]

The officials keeping the Cavs in this one with some lazy calls.

[Adam King @Adamking91]

This one hurts. BC was one of my favourite players to watch, starting with his MVP performance in the 2019 Summer League. Taken way too soon. Remember to look after yourselves, and always reach out to those close to you.

[Rob Fischer @thefishnation]

Devastated by today’s news.
I don’t even know what to say other than I’ll miss BC. He was such a good person and teammate.
Condolences to his family, friends, and teammates.
RIP BC 🙏

[Adam King @Adamking91]

The fact that Mitchell didn't get a flop warning there, shows how unserious the league is regarding theatrics.

[Adam King @Adamking91]

Do any Lakers players like Deandre Ayton?

[Adam King @Adamking91]

Consistently inconsistent. Even playing at a much, much lower level, that is the most frustrating thing as a player.

[𝙉𝘼𝙅 @najeeadams_]

I dont think doris burke understands austin reaves’ argument ngl

it’s not that he’s saying the lakers are not fouling, its that he’s saying that OKC are committing the same fouls and they aren’t be called

[Adam King @Adamking91]

The NBA right now.

[Adam King @Adamking91]

Right or wrong, I don't agree with how Reaves handled this. However, it's not surprising given this ref is one of the worst when it comes to being whistle-happy and unapproachable.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Austin Reaves was absolutely done with the referees: “That’s some bulls**t for you to talk to me like that. P***y.”
