I watched some of the best 15-17 year old 🏀 players in the country this weekend hammer the shit out of each other on drives to the basket AND stay on their feet. Yet #NBA refs falling for this PHANTOM FOUL/flopping nonsense on the regular.
The Pistons don't flop.
They don't foul-bait.
They don't throw their head backwards, flail their arms, fall to the ground on the slightest contact.
The don't kick their legs forward on jump shots.
And the Pistons are actively punished for not doing those things.
Incredible.

CP & Lou Williams are adamant that the Cavs fouled the Pistons on the last play to end regulation 🗣️
"It's unacceptable." - LW

The Cleveland Cavalier have shot 40 more free throws than the Pistons in the past two games.
72 for Cleveland, 32 for Detroit.
Ridiculous disparity favoring the jump shooting team. Awful stuff @NBA
52 of the Pistons 70 shots have been twos. They live in the paint.
They have 8 free throws.
Cleveland has taken 37 threes. They have 31 free throws.
This is unfucking explainable.
INSANE: When Roger Staubach had eyes in the back of his head, ducking from Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood.
😱😱😱
One of the wildest plays…
