@xavierjdesigns I would gladly admit that Brunson is skilled at drawing fouls like Shai, but also flops on occasion.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@xavierjdesigns I am saying that the conclusion you are drawing is incorrect because determining if a person flopped or fell from contact/lack of balance absolutely REQUIRES skilled unbiased subjective judgement.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@xavierjdesigns I saw one in the SA series where there was almost no contact and he flailed around like a fish on land.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@xavierjdesigns I disagree about as strongly as possible. Some players have better balance or take contact better than others. Towns falls a lot because he takes lot of contact and loses balance but he never flops. Shai occasionally falls down from the mild breeze of a fan clapping.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@xavierjdesigns No one minds if a player understands the rules well and uses his skill to draw extra fouls. The get upset when they see foul calls that were the result of flopping. Shai is being accused of excess flopping. Presti is trying to redefine flopping as a skill.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@xavierjdesigns Regulators say X is illegal, but X is subjective/complex enough for nefarious bankers & brokers to take advantage of customers and regulators to miss it.

The foul rules say Y, but enforcing them is subjective enough for flopping to trick the refs to gain an advantage.

@atTheTrack7 @Pullthepocket I was going so crazy during the 4th quarter of game 2 screaming and flailing around, my Apple Watch asked me if I needed emergency services twice. 🤣

Patrick Ewing surprised a group of young Knicks fans with tickets to Game 3 AND Game 4 this morning

This is amazing. (via @TODAYshow)

@krispursiainen Presti is making the same argument Wall St & bankers make when they take advantage of their customers. They don't make the laws or regulate behavior. That's someone else's job. True, but there is the intent of rules/laws & getting around them or fooling people is unethical.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@JCMacriNBA Mid range is unlikely to get much better with Wemby roaming and I'm not so sure 3s will either due to SA's excellent perimeter defenders. Our best hope to improve efficiency is to move the ball so well we get open 3s they usually guard, especially in the corner.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@atTheTrack7 It's a pain in the ass and given this is deep blue NYC very few people want him there, but that won't be the reason we lost. If we lose it will be because we didn't defend Wemby well, they hit a lot of tough 3s or we missed a lot of 3s we should have made. Let's GO!

@atTheTrack7 @stoolpresidente His attempt at a reverse jinx is only exceeded by his attempt and willingness to make money off a team and fans that he hates.

@derby1592 @turfmichaeld It's unbelievable. I know sometimes it's hard to pick up on jokes and sarcasm, but you even had the smile next to it and they still didn't pick up on it. smh

@EJXD2 @KentuckyDerby The Haskell is shaping up as quite a race.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

@HorseToWatch It’s all random noise. Don’t let it bother you, As long as your techniques and logic are sound the winners will come.

[classhandicapper @Classhndicapper]

I changed my mind about the Belmont. I think Renegade and Chief Wallabee ran to their Derby form, Commandment ran back to his peak Florida form and Golden Tempo took another step forward to beat him. CW needs to shorten up to between 8F-9F.
